Gus Kenworthy hadn't competed in skiing in several years. Now he's back and already finding success ahead of the Milan Winter Olympics. The post Gus Kenworthy returns to competition and immediately wins a medal appeared first on Outsports .
The Arizona Cardinals are either the worst team in the NFL, with some of the worst coaching, decision making and on field product. Or, they are once again not trying to win football games, which is the only thing everyone can agree on as the goal of the NFL. Jonathan Gannon has 15 wins in […]
Note: Today is nomination day! Head to the comment section to nominate the next group of prospects to be included in Wednesday’s CPL. We’re now in the thick of the Winter Meetings, and while we wait for Buster Posey and Zack Minasian to do something, we’ll continue with our time-honored offseason project of ranking the […]
The MLB Draft Lottery for the 2026 MLB Draft will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, December 9, 2025 at 4:30 p.m. Central time. For the second year in a row, the Texas Rangers are lottery-eligible, and thus have a chance — albeit a small one — at a top pick. With the MLB Draft Lottery, all […]
When I saw something a few days ago, I parked it in a tab because it seemed so unlikely to impact the Cubs. After all, there hadn’t been any sourced connections between the Cubs and Munetaka Murakami, and the fit was very difficult to see if Murakami wasn’t a true third baseman. But then Bruce Levine wrote that the Cubs could in fact be considering Murakami as an option at third base, so I think there’s good reason to share that something I had parked. It’s Kiley McDaniel’s take at E...
1914 The White Sox purchased future Hall of Fame second baseman Eddie Collins from Connie Mack and the Philadelphia A’s. The price was incredible by on 1914 standards: $50,000 went to Mack, $15,000 went to Collins as a signing bonus, and then Collins was tendered a five-year, guaranteed deal worth $75,000! AL president Ban Johnson (before there was a commissioner, […]
The Los Angeles Rams needed a get-right game heading into Week 14 following a loss to the Carolina Panthers. That’s exactly what they got, beating the Arizona Cardinals 45-17. Whenever the Rams have needed to get back on track, the Cardinals have played that role well. Matthew Stafford was back to his MVP self while […]
At his end of the season press conference back in October, Tigers president of baseball operations, Scott Harris, spent a lot of time talking about his players. Certainly the collapse of offensive production for several players, most notably star left fielder Riley Greene, played a major role as the club staggered through September, barely hanging […]
The winter meetings have started, and rumors are flying around everywhere. The Pirates are getting perhaps the biggest pop from rumors that they’ve offered a four-year deal to Kyle Schwarber. How much money was in the four-year offer? Well, Dan Szymborski has one idea: The actual rumors have the Pirates offering him something north of […]
Next up, in our look back at the A’s players in 2025, we turn back starting pitching by remembering season with J.T. Ginn. How was he acquired? The Los Angeles Dodgers selected Ginn with the 30th overall selection of the 2018 MLB draft but chose to honor his commitment to Mississippi State instead of signing with the Dodgers. […]
Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]
On July 30, 2024, Gerrit Cole was scratched from his start in Philadelphia due to “general body fatigue.” Without many options to overcome this, the Yankees turned to one of their top pitching prospects in the minors, promoting Will Warren to make his major league debut. Warren would make six total appearances in 2024 as […]
The diminutive shortstop played Gold Glove-caliber defense as a surprising starter for the Braves, but his offensive production was the worst in baseball, making it only a one-year escapade with Atlanta for the 27-year-old. How acquired The Braves traded for Allen on November 11, 2024, sending minor league pitcher Jared Johnson to the Athletics. At […]
The Royals have made it known they are pursuing an outfielder at this week’s Winter Meetings. It is a thin free agent market, and a report by Ken Rosenthal suggests they may look to add two outfielders – one via free agency, and one through a trade. Reporter Jon Heyman reports today that the Royals […]
The Dodgers play the Mets on Wednesday, April 15, Jackie Robinson Day at Dodger Stadium, a game that will be exclusively televised by ESPN, the network announced today. This is the first of 30 exclusive weekday games on ESPN in 2026. ESPN was the exclusive home of ‘Sunday Night Baseball’ for 36 seasons, dating back […]
Morning everyone and happy Monday! The Winter Meetings are getting underway down in Florida this week and the A’s are there likely hoping to land a player or two before the week is out. That may come via free agency, but these meetings also set the foundation for future moves and trades down the line. […]
While all the focus and spotlights of this particular Cincinnati Reds offseason are pointed firmly at Middletown slugger Kyle Schwarber, it’s still a pertinent exercise to dig through the nuts and bolts of the rest of the roster in search of ways this team’s offense can find improvement in 2026. That digging, for me, keeps […]
The 2014-15 Royals will forever be remembered for their amazing postseason runs. But how many players from those teams will receive induction into the Royals Hall of Fame? Carlos Beltrán, Billy Butler, Lorenzo Cain, Wade Davis, Alcides Escobar, Kelvin Herrera, Greg Holland, Joakim Soria, and Yordano Ventura are the nine candidates on this year’s Royals […]
Dustin May made his return to the mound after missing nearly two whole years due to elbow and esophageal surgeries, but his return proved to be underwhelming and frustrating, prompting a trade to the Boston Red Sox at the trade deadline. Prior to the beginning of the 2025 season, May had last pitched for the […]
Exciting news, folks… It is time for the LSB Offseason Community Prospect Rankings! As we do every year, twice a year — once midseason and once offseason — we are voting on who we think is the top prospect in the Rangers farm system right now. If the voting is close, we have a runoff. […]
The first significant move by the D-backs dropped this morning. Jeff Passan and Jesse Rogers were first to report that the Arizona Diamondbacks have filled one of the holes in their rotation by signing Michael Soroka to a one-year deal. It’s worth $7.5 million, but there are incentives which could potentially add another $2 million […]
In what might be termed “shocking” news, the Pirates – yes, the actual, real life Pittsburgh Pirates – have made an offer to Kyle Schwarber this offseason to come play for them. No word yet on what the offer was, but it being $100 million in gold doubloons should not be ruled out. This shouldn’t […]
Will the Orioles actually sign a difference-making starting pitcher this offseason? I’ll believe this is going to happen when I see it happen. They do at least seem to be staying active in checking around on many of the remaining names seen as being near the top end of the market this winter. The Baltimore […]
Michael Soroka, we hardly knew ye. Acquired by the Cubs at the Trade Deadline and then injured immediately thereafter, Soroka didn’t get much of a chance to make an impression on us. Still, from what I saw of the stuff, it was really easy to dream. And really easy to want to see the Cubs take a flier on bringing back such a live arm, with the flexibility to pitch out of the rotation or the bullpen. But it’s not happening, as Soroka, who is still only 28, is signing another one-year d...
The Los Angeles Rams got back into the win column following a 45-17 beatdown of the Arizona Cardinals. L.A.’s win moved them back into first place in the conference standings, and was much-needed after last week’s meltdown in Charlotte. It’s time to get into the good, the bad and the ugly from the Rams’ dominating […]
