The college basketball transfer awards, mixing in an ode to baseball hitters.
After a 26-12 start to the season, the Chicago Cubs have gone just 7-18 over their last 25 games, including a winless 6-game homestand. If the 2025 Giants were here, they could relate in all these ways. Instead, it’s the 2026 Giants slated to face off against a team projected to be one of the […]

There are still four months to go in the season, so trying to break down an end-of-year award at this early point may be a bit of a fools’ errand. And yet, here I go. This year’s NL Cy Young race is shaping up to be one of the most dynamic and competitive in the […]
MLB’s prospect coverage site, Pipeline, released a new mock draft for the 2026 MLB Draft last night. In that mock draft they had the Atlanta Braves selecting two players whose names have been prominently discussed in and around the Top 10 prospects in the draft class dating back to last winter.

Throughout his career as a head coach, Will Wade has always had a big personality, been very vocal during games, and made some moves that have gotten LSU into trouble. Wade is an excellent coach, but those things have caused a bit of a mark on any praise he would get. Still, LSU and fans […]
Just like last year, the Tar Heels are two wins away from a trip to Omaha. Just like last year, the team they are facing is not the team people thought they would be facing. Hopefully this year is not like last year. In an NCAA Tournament that has seen a boat load of upsets […]
The Twins optioned infielder Royce Lewis to Triple-A a couple of weeks ago. Since then, he has hit eight home runs and slashed .367/.446/.939. He has also started expanding his defensive versatility.

Aaron Judge won't be taking any at-bats any time soon, and that's not a problem the New York Yankees can simply hope to sidestep.
In light of Aaron Judge’s stress fracture in his right rib, the Yankees will be without their captain and three-time AL MVP for at least four-to-six weeks. It will probably be longer than that.
