The San Diego Padres made no moves during the General Manager’s meetings, but none were expected. They still haven’t finished filling out their coaching group, so a slow start to the offseason isn’t a surprise. With a new bench coach and hitting coach on board, the organization is still looking for its third base coach. […]

On November 26th in 2005, New York Rangers defenceman Marek Malik scored on Olaf Kölzig of the Washington Capitals ending the then-longest overtime shootout in NHL history. The memorable marker, Malik's first in 21 months, came in the 15th round of the encore, giving New York a 3-2 win over Washington. In 2014, the Capitals found themselves in the now-longest shootout in NHL history,

Good morning A’s fans! The pitching depth was tested early and often for the Athletics in 2025. Some of that is from asking young pitchers to exceed their innings limits, promoting arms that weren’t ready, injuries, poor performance, and just plain bad luck. The bullpen was especially tested as the club had to rely on […]

An argument can be made that if Jordan Walker and Nolan Gorman had lived up to their potential, the St. Louis Cardinals would not be in a rebuild now, but they haven’t so here we are. Is it time for the Cardinals to move on or should they hang on to these very talented players? […]

MLB Rumors: Dylan Cease and the Toronto Blue Jays have agreed to terms on a 7 year, $210 million deal, per reports. Some of that money is deferred, reportedly, though how much and on what terms are yet to be disclosed, so we will have to wait a bit to figure out what this deal […]

Not the greatest of years for the D-backs, the team finishing below .500 for the first time since 2022. Howefer, there were still plenty of good things to appreciate, from individual plays, through great games, to stellar seasons by certain players. As we prepare to get Thanksgiving out of the way, it’s time to look […]

Jon Heyman is reporting that the Jays signed Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million contract. At least he spells his first name right. Cease will be 30 at the end of December. Ben Clemens figured he would get five years and $31 million, so he was a little light. He averaged 97 mph on […]

Can you be surprised by the size of a contract if your prediction was that the size of the contract would be surprising? From the jump, we knew Dylan Cease was likely to get a deal that dramatically outpaced his actual production on the field in 2023-2025, when his 4.18 ERA was 2% worse than league average. His peripherals were obviously much better than that, he’s got stuff for days, premium velocity, and teams have for years dreamed on what he could be. Still, I didn’t think he wou...

The Tall Tales clearly had the more star-studded lineup in the North Star Stature Showdown, featuring Hall of Famers Joe Mauer and Dave Winfield along with many more power bats (e.g. Cotton Nash, Miguel Sanó). But in Game 6 of the Showdown, it was Michael Restovich that emerged as the lineup’s hero. Restovich pinch-ran for […]

Episode 40 of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast is officially live! In this week’s episode, Brett and I talk about the many available options on the pitching market, in free agency (both international and domestic) and via trade … as well as options from the top-shelf all the way down to convincing reclamation targets. All things considered, it’s a pretty good offseason for the Cubs to be seeking pitching from outside the organization, and we pick that a part a bit as the podcast goes on. ...

When Jon Lester came to the Cubs, he was a terrible hitter. No, seriously. He had gone 0-for-36 in his American League career, and that carried over to his first year with the Cubs in 2015. Lester went 0-for-30 in his first 16 Cubs starts, finally breaking that 0-fer with a single off his friend […]
