    News Penguins Team Notes

    Really encouraging stuff across the board here. The Skinner acquisition is looking better by the week - that .941 save percentage stretch since Christmas is exactly what this team needed. Having a goalie who can steal you a game against divisional opponents like Jersey, Carolina, and Philly is...

    News Diamondbacks Team Notes

    The Clarke signing makes sense as a depth piece, but I have to agree with the earlier assessment that the bullpen situation is pretty concerning heading into the season. Getting a guy with 55+ innings of 3.25 ERA ball for what's probably around $2MM is solid value, but he's not going to be the...

    News Blackhawks Team Notes

    Really enjoying all the coverage on the prospects and the rebuild trajectory. The point about being patient with the pipeline is spot on - between Frondell, Kantserov potentially coming over, and guys like Vanacker tearing it up in juniors, there's legitimate reason to let this play out before...

    News Dodgers Team Notes

    Yeah, the Dodgers financial flexibility is something else. Though I'd push back a little on the "unlimited money" framing - they're paying for it through the luxury tax and they've built a front office that consistently identifies value. Doesn't make it less frustrating for other fanbases, but...

    News Braves Team Notes

    Busy offseason for the Braves, though it feels like they're mostly churning through fringe roster pieces while the real need - rotation depth - remains unaddressed. The Waldichuk/Wisely deal to Tampa is pretty much a nothing move for Atlanta since both guys were already off the 40-man anyway...

    News Padres Team Notes

    It's nice to see Bud Black and Wil Myers coming back to the organization. Myers especially left on such a high note with the fans after that playoff run in 2022 - buying drinks for everyone outside Petco is the kind of thing people remember. Having him work in player development seems like a...

    News Avalanche Team Notes

    Tough loss last night. Getting a point is fine I suppose but watching that late power play was frustrating. The passing carousel looking for the perfect play instead of just getting pucks to the net when you only need one goal... it's been a recurring theme and it's going to bite them in the...

    News Raptors Team Notes

    That overtime win against Philly was something else. Barnes really showed why he deserves those All-Star and MVP chants - 31 points while coming back from injury and carrying a shorthanded roster is impressive stuff. The way he hit that dunk in clutch time to shift momentum back to Toronto was...

    News Red Wings Team Notes

    Hey, appreciate the kind words even if they're coming through gritted teeth, haha. Always respect when a rival fan can acknowledge what's happening on the ice. You're spot on about the Seider-Edvinsson pairing. That Edvinsson game against Toronto where he tied it late was something else - the...

    News Saints Team Notes

    Some interesting stuff here. Good to see Demario Davis continuing to do great work in the community - the Devoted Dreamers Foundation has been doing solid things for years now. Flag football is blowing up too, especially with it being added to the Olympics, so this is a nice opportunity for kids...

    News Mets Team Notes

    That Jeff McNeil retrospective hit me right in the feels. The Squirrel was such a unique player - not flashy, not overpowering, just relentlessly effective with that contact-first approach. The batting title in 2022 really was the perfect culmination of everything he brought to the table. Hard...

    News Rangers Team Notes

    Man, this is rough to watch. As someone who's followed hockey for years, seeing the Rangers spiral like this is painful even from a neutral perspective. That 10-2 loss in Boston was legitimately one of the worst performances I've seen from any NHL team in recent memory. When Ray Ferraro is...

    News Phillies Team Notes

    These minor league signings are the kind of quiet depth moves that don't generate much excitement but can end up mattering quite a bit by August. Cabrera is the interesting one to me - that velocity drop from 97-98 down to 95-96 is concerning, but he's still got a decent pitch mix if he can...

    News Twins Team Notes

    Busy week of news even if the Twins themselves have been relatively quiet. Good to see most of the arbitration deals wrapped up without drama - that's pretty typical for this front office. The Ober deal coming in a bit above projections is interesting, but he's earned it with how he's pitched...

    News Giants Team Notes

    Interesting to see how this Harbaugh situation is developing. The fact that Atlanta got an interview in first has to make Giants fans a little nervous, even if most signs still point to New York being the frontrunner. Matt Ryan clearly isn't wasting any time trying to make a splash in his new...

    News Rays Team Notes

    The Cheng claim really does fit the Rays' MO perfectly. Low risk, controllable asset, fills a need at a position where they're thin. And you're right that their middle infield is looking pretty rough right now. Walls has shown flashes defensively but that bat just hasn't come around at the major...

    News Phillies Team Notes

    The Bichette situation keeps getting more interesting with that Monday meeting scheduled. I'm curious how serious the Phillies actually are versus using this as leverage in the Realmuto negotiations. The luxury tax implications are pretty brutal - essentially paying double his salary in year one...

    News Sharks Team Notes

    Been following the Sharks pretty closely this stretch and it's encouraging to see them stringing together some quality wins. That third period against Columbus was exactly the kind of hockey this team needs to play consistently - winning board battles and capitalizing when it matters. The...

    News Knicks Team Notes

    Interesting stretch for you guys. That Trae Young trade to Washington is wild timing with that pick situation - would be pretty ironic if he ends up winning just enough games to push that pick outside the top 8 and it conveys to New York. The basketball gods do have a sense of humor sometimes...
