Will the Chicago Cubs pull off a major trade this winter? Chicago was 83 games in 2024 in Craig Counsell’s first year as the team’s manager. The Cubs didn’t bring Counsell in to lead the team through a rebuild. They handed him a historic deal to hopefully take the organization to a higher level. The…
The Chicago Cubs landscape was quite different when they selected Brennen Davis with the 62nd overall pick in the 2018 MLB Draft (the Cubs selected Nico Hoerner 24th). The day Davis was drafted (June 5, 2018), the Cubs were sitting at 33-24, two games out of the NL Central, in the thick of things yet…
The Baltimore Orioles have a major need in their starting rotation. With Corbin Burnes hitting the open market and the duo of Kyle Bradish and Tyler Wells still rehabbing from their season-ending surgeries they underwent this past campaign, there are holes to fill ahead of Opening Day. How the Orioles operate this winter will be different than…
The Baltimore Orioles are in a position where they need to spend some money this offseason. Right-hander Corbin Burnes is a free agent and there are no guarantees he will return. As such, they will need to either sign or trade for a top-level starting pitcher. That could be Burnes, but if he walks, they’ll…
It sounds like the Los Angeles Dodgers are looking to add another superstar to town. Los Angeles took down the New York Yankees this fall in the World Series but clearly it isn’t getting complacent. The Dodgers are looking to add some pitching and reportedly have met with two-time Cy Young Award winner Blake Snell,…
Freddie Freeman etched his name in Los Angeles Dodgers postseason history when he hit a walk-off grand slam against the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the 2024 World Series. The ball landed in the right-field pavilion and was retrieved by 10-year-old Zachary Ruderman, who attended the game with his parents. It will be…
For the second year in a row, the Dodgers’ primary center fielder ended up being a rookie who didn’t start the year as the top option on the depth chart. Much like James Outman did it in 2023, Andy Pages played his way into a starting role with the big league club in a year…
When the Dolphins played the Patriots earlier this season, Tyler Huntley started against Jacoby Brissett. This weekend, the two teams will be starting their quarterbacks of the present and future in Tua Tagovailoa and Drake Maye. It’ll be the first of presumably many chances Tagovailoa and Maye have to play one another. “I respect his…
The Miami Dolphins find themselves in a unique spot after playing ten games. They currently hold a record of 4-6, but are in the midst of a two-game winning streak, and with a very manageable schedule, expectations are growing in Miami. What once felt like a season doomed to be lost due to key injuries,…
The fantasy playoffs will be here before you know it and smart managers know better than to start any of these players in Week 12. Chuba Hubbard (RB) Carolina Panthers Carolina drafted Texas running back Jonathan Brooks in the second round of this year’s draft, understanding that he’d miss the majority of the 2024 season…
Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert scored 21 touchdowns last season and he was the team’s starter in the first week of this season, but his playing time has dropped sharply over the last few weeks. Mostert played 30 offensive snaps in Week Eight, but has played just 32 over the last three weeks as De’Von…
The Los Angeles Dodgers winning their second World Series title since 2020 meant a lot to the players, the city and fans who waited years to truly celebrate. When the Dodgers ended the franchise’s championship drought in 2020, they were led in large part by Corey Seager. He went on a tremendous October run that…
