The New York Mets are bringing back a familiar face. On Monday, the Mets announced that, in addition to signing infielder Donovan Walton , they have agreed to a minor league deal with outfielder Rafael Ortega. Both players received major league spring training invites. Ortega, 33, spent most of the 2023 season in the Mets’ organization after signing with the…
As the saying goes, desperate times call for desperate measures. With that in mind, it may be time for the Atlanta Falcons to make a very drastic move to energize their pass rush. The Falcons defense managed to record a sack in Week 11. But there still wasn’t nearly enough pressure on Denver Broncos rookie…
The Atlanta Falcons have had multiple chances to seize control of the NFC South , but they’ve let each one slip through their fingers. Last week, they fell to the 2-7 New Orleans Saints in a frustrating three-point loss, marred by three missed field goals. Despite the defeat, the team at least looked competitive in…
Heading into Week 11, most Atlanta fans braced themselves for a tough outing against the Broncos. Injuries had already depleted the Falcons’ lineup, but no one could have predicted the utter collapse that unfolded in Denver. The defense, already a weak spot this season, reached a new low under Jimmy Lake. They struggled to generate…
The internet tells me that Cris Collinsworth isn’t a very popular NFL analyst. However, I’m going to reference one phrase he said years ago that’s stuck with me. “We know nothing about the NFL before Thanksgiving.” It’s an interesting theory. Obviously, winning divisional matchups for tiebreaker purposes in September and October is important. Furthermore, it’s…
The Arizona Cardinals were hoping to see their bye week provide rest and recovery opportunities for players across the roster, though first-round pick Darius Robinson perhaps needed it more than anybody. Robinson hasn’t played a single snap since suffering a calf injury during a preseason practice, though he’ll be out there today for Cardinals practice…
Former Arizona Cardinals CB Marco Wilson is now a free agent after the New England Patriots waived him on Monday, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Wilson, who played in ten games for New England this season, allowed a completion percentage of 73.3% on 15 targets this year with a passer rating of 118.5. Wilson was initially…
The San Diego Padres locked horns with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS and almost took them down. Their offense faltered in the final two games, blowing a 2-1 series lead and losing in five games. After a fantastic regular season, it was another disappointing postseason for San Diego. The Padres must improve by…
The Los Angeles Dodgers capped off one of the most memorable seasons in franchise history by defeating the New York Yankees to capture their eighth World Series title. The Dodgers jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the Fall Classic after Freddie Freeman hit a walk-off grand slam that was reminiscent to Kirk Gibson’s game-winning…
We’re just a couple weeks into the thick of the offseason, and the Dodgers have a multitude of questions regarding which players they should reach out for or bring back. Kiké Hernández, Teoscar Hernández, Walker Buehler, Jack Flaherty, Blake Treien, and Joe Kelly are the most notable names hitting the open market, and should the…
The Arizona Cardinals had maybe the best potential bye week plausible, with maybe the exception of the Los Angeles Rams losing also. No, the Seattle Seahawks beat the San Francisco 49ers and the Rams beat the Patriots and now your Arizona Cardinals are in first place in the NFC West and have a fun matchup…
Signing a former Cy Young winner might be in the cards for the San Diego Padres this winter but this specific one is probably a longshot. Shane Bieber’s 2024 season was largely lost to injury, as he spent nearly the entire year on the 60-day injured list. He managed just two scoreless starts early on…
