The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series, and the number of people who expected to say that ever since the start of the season was uncommon for a sport whose playoff format is so unpredictable. If that championship came, as it did, no matter the circumstances, there would be plenty willing to jump to […]
How Acquired Diego Tornes was the prize signing of the 2025 International Free Agent period. He was considered a unanimous Top 20 international prospect and was signed for right around $2.5M. What Were Expectations? Expectations were a bit high for someone that came into the season at 16 years of age. Nobody expected him to […]
Injuries on both sides may have robbed us of what could have been a heck of a game between the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants. Recency bias would lead you to believe Jaxson Dart is about to have a field day against a defense that just gave up a handful of explosive plays […]
It’s the final time the Seattle Seahawks are not in the Sunday regional window until Week 16! We do have some games of interest to the Seahawks and their NFC West push. At 1:05 pm PT, the New Orleans Saints are at the Los Angeles Rams, with rookie quarterback Tyler Shough making his first NFL […]
It’s a very quick turnaround for Arsenal FC, who beat Burnley FC 2-0 in the Premier League yesterday. The W kept the Gunners top of the table, in the league, but the match brought two new injury concerns in Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyokeres. Both are strong doubts for Tuesday night’s trip to Prague, Czech […] The post Arsenal Team News at Slavia Praha: Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi appeared first on The Sports Bank .
Texas A&M returns to action for the first time since the massive 49-25 win over LSU in Death Valley, as they hit the road for a matchup with the Missouri Tigers. The 8-0 Aggies were off yesterday, as was Mizzou. The last action for the Tigers saw them come up short in a 17-10 loss […]
Now that the World Series is complete, the offseason can begin in earnest! The Royals are in that weird “hey, we had a winning season but didn’t make the playoffs” zone. Will they be able to make the moves to get them back to postseason baseball? Rev up the hot stove, add Jeff Passan push […]
The 2025 MLB season is fully in the books, the Dodgers repeating as champions and burnishing their case as one of the great dynasties in league history. Though the champagne in the clubhouse has hardly dried, the rest of the league, the Yankees included, has been glancing ahead at the offseason for some time, and […]
The Atlanta Braves had one of the more unfortunate seasons in recent memory, especially with regard to injuries to their rotation. In fact, there was a point where all five members of the Opening Day rotation were on the Injured List at the same time. This resulted in quite a few roster moves to bring […]
The fourth week of the Arizona Fall League ends with the Peoria Javelinas in third place of the six teams. They have a 10-10 record overall and played to their first tie the past week. With both nine-inning and seven-inning games being played, Monday is an off day for the whole league each week. The […]
Tuesday, November 4th CountryBox247.com, 8:00 pm ET, CountryBox: Where Music Meets Boxing. I don’t want anyone to get alarmed… But, there’s no word on who will be the musical side of this show. I can tell you that Maidel Sando makes his 5th CountryBox: Where Music Meets Boxing appearance. But, who will bring the music?? […]

After an insane Game 7 of the World Series, fans’ attention now turns to MLB offseason. With that in mind, I wanted to do a little bit of an offseason primer just to talk about some of the important dates. This tweet actually does a good job listing off some of the dates, but I […]
It is a perfectly fine and normal reaction this morning to have woken up and proclaimed that the Toronto Blue Jays won the World Series last night. In a perfect world, they’d have. In the real world, the pretty much kind of did, for a bit, and that’s enough for most of us. That the […]
I was up late last night (a.k.a. early this morning) looking for a World Series comp that my football-loving audience here at BN Bears would understand. Before nodding off to dreamland, I landed on the idea of the Blue Jays losing Games 6 and 7 (and, ultimately, the World Series) was the baseball version of the 49ers last two Super Bowl losses. Both teams had leads and command of the game against juggernaut favorites, only to not cash in on opportunities before the big baddies came through wit...
With a few sleepless hours between us and the end of the World Series, I want to give a hat tip to several Blue Jays players. Yesterday’s game hurt, but this was an incredible ride and a fantastic team. I learned a lot about how a team that pulls for each other can do more […]
Before the 2026 NHL Draft even hits the horizon, we’re breaking down three names Rangers fans need to know now: Oscar Holmertz, Caleb Malhotra, and Brooks Rogowski.
After a disastrous finish against the Rangers on Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers were looking to rebound (again) against the visiting Chicago Blackhawks. The Oilers cleaned up against Chicago in 2024-25, but the Blackhawks are having a much stronger start to the season, and it was going to take a clean effort if our boys…
For the Arizona Cardinals, they are closer to picking top seven, than they are finishing up in the top seven of the NFL Playoffs. Yet, with their game against the Dallas Cowboys looming on Monday Night, they can make up some NFC ground tomorrow just in their game. They can also make up some ground […]
With the World Series having ended last night, the offseason is officially upon us. Let’s take a look at the important dates coming up on the calendar as the Mets look to build a better team than the one that won just 83 games this season. November 2 (today): Free agency officially begins for eligible […]
In a winner-take-all Game 7 of the World Series, the first one for the Dodgers since the infamous 2017 series, the Dodgers had to rely on all their starting pitching to get the job done. From the start, it seemed the task was insurmountable as Bo Bichette launched a towering three run home run against […]
Every offseason offers opportunities for teams to add to their roster, but it also means some players head out for free agency. The Brewers have a short list of players set to enter the free agent pool this offseason. After that, they have a variety of players with options available. RHP Shelby Miller Shelby Miller […]
