Few things are as exhilirating (when you hit your late 30s) as beating the rush on a Saturday morning grocery run. Now that we’ve got that in the books, we can get to this installment of BN Bears Bullets
Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson’s stock is so hot you need oven mitts to touch it. Johnson is getting his own signature burger, which will debut on Sunday at Soldier Field when the Bears and Giants square off:

Happy Saturday one and all. The Arizona Cardinals snapped a five-game losing streak and are looking to get their first win in the division in the 2025. They will have to do so on the road against a very good Seattle Seahawks team, but more on that later. First, Jess and I wanted to look […]
As previously reported, before the rosters were announced for the 2025 World Series, Alex Vesia announced that he was stepping away from the team because of a “deeply personal family matter.” Vesia and his wife, Kayla, were expecting their first child at the time of the announcement. “It’s with a heavy heart that we share […]
Daniel Munoz is once again being linked with a move to Barcelona after playing a starring role in the Premier League with Crystal Palace. The right-back, who has previously admitted Ronaldinho was his idol and that he’d love to play for Barcelona, is said to have impressed sporting director Deco. ‘Transfer expert’ Ekrem Konur says […]
The results of the Padres Reacts Survey Poll this week should not be surprising to anyone who follows the San Diego Padres. Five players who were free agents at the conclusion of the World Series or who became free agents by choosing to ops-out of the money and years remaining on their contracts were listed. […]
He’s sure to be a trivia question for the sickos years from now, because outfielder Josê Azocar pulled off a rare feat in his two weeks with Atlanta in late Spring: he became one of two players to play in the outfield and get only one plate appearance with the Braves, joining Scott Schebler in […]
Zach Penrod is in many ways the reason why I enjoy this annual series of player reviews. The left-hander did not pitch for the Dodgers in 2025, but did spend six weeks on the 40-man roster. He was deemed important enough to occupy a roster spot, so why not chronicle his time with the team, […]
Every Cubs fan knows about the “Billy Goat Curse.” Every Cubs fan also knows, or should, that the “Billy Goat Curse” is nonsense, invented by a newspaper reporter more than 20 years after William “Billy Goat” Sianis’ goat was refused entry to Wrigley Field during the 1945 World Series. It’s made for some fun stories […]
One of the more intriguing names on the free agent market has been posted by his Japanese league team. Munetaka Murakami is now available for teams to bid on, opening up a 45-day window of negotiation between him, MLB teams and the Tokyo Yakult Swallows to figure out the compensation to bring him stateside. All […]
In a season where the Nationals pitching staff was pretty brutal, Brad Lord was a bright spot. The former Home Depot employee stepped up for the Nationals in a variety of roles. However, as we enter 2026, Lord’s role is still up for debate. As a starter Lord was reliable, but he showed flashes of […]

Chmelar’s debut showed promise and purpose, highlighting both his potential fit in Sullivan’s system and the quiet progress of Drury’s development plan.
Halfway through spring training, Anthony DiComo shared the story of Hayden Senger, whom many of us had never heard of at that point, and how he was competing for a roster spot after spending the last two offseasons stocking shelves at Whole Foods. Minor leaguers needing to work real jobs to support themselves and their […]
Good day everyone! As we get this weekend started, here’s what you need to know. In Mariners news… Around the league…
After a promising first year in pinstripes way back in 2018, Giancarlo Stanton’s tenure as a Yankee hasn’t been the smoothest ride. It got to the point that with several years left on his deal, his contract started being considered a burden much earlier than expected. While the merits of the deal from a long-term […]
Bobby Witt Jr. wins his second Silver Slugger Award, and he wins his first Platinum Glove Award for top overall defender. Anne Rogers writes about what the Royals have to do this offseason. This likely means corner outfield, as that’s a wide-open spot and the one that needs the most improving. But the Royals aren’t […]
Good morning, LSB. The DMN posted highlights from their podcast episode with Skip Schumaker in which he discusses his hiring, his thoughts on his new team and other musings.

Road Rangers roll again as Panarin, Lafrenière, and Laba lead the charge. Now they just need to bring that energy home.
It seems as though the player the Phillies want to retain most of all, or at least the one they’ve been most vocal about, is Kyle Schwarber. It’s obvious why the team would prioritize Schwarber. The reasons are legion: clubhouse presence, power, ability to hit both left and right handed pitching. He’s one of the […]
The Dallas Cowboys are in a bye week, but there are still things we can learn by looking back at the past game. The loss to the Arizona Cardinals was a big stumble by the team. There are some Cowboys’ rookies who are playing important roles this year, let’s check in on how they did […]
In case you missed it, the Atlanta Braves replaced their pitching coach, bullpen coach, first base coach and third base coach this week.

Up next, the club hired Tony Mansolino as third base coach and J.P. Martinez as bullpen coach.
