There are few, if any, teams across Major League Baseball that have the ability to outspend the New York Yankees in the open market. Once feared as a juggernaut willing to spend whatever it took to obtain a championship, the Yankees have turned into a franchise more concerned with balancing the books than winning the World Series….
The New York Yankees roster is once again chock-full of top talent, which means they should expect to see a number of players earn recognition this season. ESPN’s David Schoenfield recently put together his predictions for the 2025 MLB All-Star game and did indeed have four Yankees on the AL roster. The names chosen, however, may be more…
Marcus Stroman’s name has been at the center of trade talks and speculation this offseason, but what if the Yankees actually end up getting the best version of him? While much of the conversation around Stroman has focused on whether he’ll be dealt, there’s another angle to consider—what if he stays and bounces back to…
The Philadelphia Phillies announced they have come to an agreement with former Cleveland Guardians slugger Oscar Mercado. They’ve invited him to spring training, as well as former Red Sox utility player Christian Arroyo. Mercado, 30, has spent parts of five years in the big leagues with the Guardians, Phillies and St. Louis Cardinals. He debuted…
Despite it looking unlikely for large parts of the last few months, the Philadelphia Phillies held onto their All-Star third baseman. From the outset of the offseason, Alec Bohm being shipped out of town felt more like an if than a when. Performance which declined in the second half of the campaign culminating in a…
While players like safety Kyle Hamilton and cornerback Nate Wiggins will be key starters for the Baltimore Ravens for the foreseeable future, it should be of little to no surprise to hear they want to add to the back end of their defense. Baltimore had trouble finding a consistent safety to complement Hamilton. Marcus Williams…
The Carolina Panthers definitely appear to have found their franchise quarterback in Bryce Young, who enjoyed a very impressive second half of 2024 to entrench himself under center. At least for the foreseeable future. But could the Panthers be eyeing another former first-round pick to potentially man the quarterback position? Anthony Palacios of Last Word on Sports…
Browns defensive end Myles Garrett made no bones about where he wants to play next season, requesting earlier this month that Cleveland trade him to a potential Super Bowl contender. Garrett’s wishes not only narrow down the list of potential franchises, but these directives also give Cleveland less leverage for their trade. Should the Browns…
The Philadelphia Phillies had a quieter-than-expected offseason, not making any splashes to shake up their roster despite a disappointing showing in the postseason. When they were eliminated in the NLDS by the New York Mets in four games, many expected a sizable shake-up. With spring training now upon us, that shake-up didn’t materialize as their roster looks pretty much…
Catcher J.T. Realmuto is entering the final year of his contract with the Phillies, but it’s possible he’ll stick in Philadelphia beyond that. Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that the backstop and the club have mutual interest in an extension, but whether they can agree on a price point remains to be seen. “Obviously I…
Brian Schottenheimer has his guys. Dallas Cowboys watchers have been quick to judge – positively or negatively – the people who have been hired to join the new head coach’s staff. We choose to go another direction, as we will withhold judgment because we are honest with ourselves about the fact that 99 percent of us…
Spring Training has kicked off for the Philadelphia Phillies and the franchise will be hoping to bounce back from a disappointing end to the 2024 campaign.
