Jamar Taylor Signs With 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers have signed journeyman cornerback Jamar Taylor and waived cornerback Teez Tabor in a deep roster move on Monday. Taylor has bounced around the league for seven years, and he's likely to serve as nothing more than some depth at DB on the off chance that the team needs it. With COVID-19 […]

Charlie Blackmon Remains At Home

Colorado Rockies star outfielder Charlie Blackmon is still remaining at home for the time being following his positive COVID-19 test. Manager Bud Black told reporters that the rest of the team's COVID-19 testing has gone according to plan, but he gave no update on the expected timeline for Blackmon's return. Blackmon is obviously one of […]

Trent Williams Cannot Be Franchise Tagged

Details released on San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams' reworked contract revealed that a condition of the deal prevents Williams from being franchise tagged after this season. The two sides have been working on coming to a long-term agreement, and this caveat should help motivate the team to get the job done. The 31-year-old […]

Jared Goff Being Given More Ownership Of Offense

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff is going to be given more ownership of the offense in his fifth year in the league, though it's unclear what that will actually look like.

Aaron Donald Not Worried About Offseason Training

Los Angeles Rams All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald seems unconcerned about the additional pressure pandemic protocol might place on his offseason training.

Quinton Dunbar Pleads Not Guilty

Clay Matthews Could Be A Fit For Arizona

The Arizona Cardinals haven't been shy about adding older pass-rush specialists in the past, and linebacker Clay Matthews could fit that role again in 2020. Multiple personnel people have openly stated that the goal is to have the pass-rush unit work on a rotational basis and have a lot of bodies cycling in and out […]

Quinton Dunbar Remains At Large

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Quinton Dunbar remains at large at this time, though regular contact seems to be occurring between Dunbar's attorney and the police.

Jared Goff Gets Help Over The Middle

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff is facing a big year in 2020, but the team will be trying to help him out in his quest to get back to a higher level. Goff caught a lot of flak in 2019 when his TD/INT ratio dropped from 32/12 in 2018 to 22/16 in 2019. His […]

Dante Pettis May Not Have A Roster Spot

The San Francisco 49ers are looking at plenty of hard battles for roster spots once football really gets moving, and one of the toughest might involve wide receiver Dante Pettis. The third-year wideout was a second-round pick in 2018, but so far, he's failed to generate much noise on the SF squad. Pettis looked like […]

Isaiah Simmons Expected To Play Linebacker

The Arizona Cardinals newest top draft pick, Isaiah Simmons, is expected to be a linebacker, according to defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. One of Simmons' main draws was his versatility, and his speed was regularly used at cornerback and safety at Clemson, but his presence in the middle of the field will be a huge upgrade […]

Jared Goff's Contract Has Been Restructured

The Los Angeles Rams saved approximately $7 million off the salary cap on Friday by successfully restructuring quarterback Jared Goff's contract. The move was considered a given throughout the offseason, though the timing was a little surprising since the team allowed Goff's massive $21 million roster bonus to credit before completing the move. The savings will […]

Zane Gonzalez Signs Tender

Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez signed his restricted free-agent tender on Thursday, agreeing to get paid $3.259 million in 2020.

Gonzalez settled into the role […]

Trevor Rosenthal Officially Makes The Royals

The Kansas City Royals officially selected relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal's contract on Wednesday. In a corresponding move, they designated pitcher Eric Skoglund for assignment.

Peter Lambert Expected To Miss Considerable Time

Colorado Rockies pitcher Peter Lambert (forearm) is now expected to miss "considerable time" due to his forearm injury. As of now, tests that were performed yesterday have not come back, but manager Bud Black seems to have already accepted that this is not a minor ailment. Lambert was one of the team's top prospects last […]

Adalberto Mondesi Back In The Lineup

Kansas City Royals star shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (shoulder) is in the lineup for the first time this spring, but it's unlikely he'll actually get to play. Mondesi is returning from shoulder surgery related to his dislocation last season, but his first crack at live pitching is likely to be rained out. There's also a feeling […]

David Dahl A Strong Possibility To Lead Off

Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl is being considered for the leadoff spot this season, according to manager Bud Black. The growth of analytics has changed how leadoff hitters look over the last couple years, so Dahl could fit well in the role even though he's only got a career OBP of .346. If he does […]

Nicky Lopez Smacks Two More Hits

Kansas City Royals second baseman Nicky Lopez knocked a couple more singles against the Reds on Saturday, raising his spring average up to .316. Lopez has now performed well in back-to-back springs, but he struggled last season when he got the opportunity to face regular season pitching. The 25-year-old is most valued for his batting […]

Jakob Junis To Throw Simulated Game On Sunday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Jakob Junis (back) is slated to throw a simulated game on Sunday, and manager Mike Matheny told reporters that he expects Junis to make a start a few days after that.

Ryan O'Hearn Rips Another Spring Homer

Kansas City Royals first baseman Ryan O'Hearn is back to pounding spring training pitching two years after he was the darling of the season. O'Hearn got everyone's attention in 2018 when he launched five home runs and hit .400 during the spring session, but he was left to marinate in the minors until the second […]

Ryan McBroom Goes Deep Again

Kansas City Royals first baseman Ryan McBroom drilled his third home run of spring training on Saturday, raising his average to .345 in the process. A year after he scuffled terribly for the Yankees in spring training, McBroom has turned it around and is hammering opposing pitchers. In a cup of coffee last September, McBroom […]

Danny Duffy Superb On Saturday

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy was on it on Saturday when he went four innings against the Reds. Duffy struck out six and only allowed one hit during his longest outing of the spring, and the good results this spring have given the team a lot of hope for Duffy coming into the […]

Adalberto Mondesi Still On Schedule

Kansas City Royals shortstop Adalberto Mondesi (shoulder) is still rehabilitating according to schedule, but there's still no set date on when he's expected to return to game action. It's also not clear if he'll be ready for Opening Day. Mondesi experienced some soreness late this week, and so the team had his surgeon come check […]

Eric Skoglund Dealing With Arm Tenderness

Kansas City Royals pitcher Eric Skoglund (arm) hasn't seen any action since Feb. 21, and manager Mike Matheny told reporters that Skoglund is still dealing with some arm tenderness. There is no timeline at this point, but obviously pitchers with arm issues are not something fantasy owners should be chasing. Skoglund was limited to just […]

Stephen Woods Jr. Sprains Ankle

Kansas City Royals Rule 5 pitcher Stephen Woods Jr. turned his ankle while attempting to cover first base on a groundout on Saturday, and he was lifted from the game after he promptly walked the next two hitters.

Adalberto Mondesi Nearing Return to Action

Manager Mike Matheny told reporters that he's already pushing to get […]

Danny Duffy Throwing Harder This Spring

Kansas City Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy made his spring debut on Sunday, and he welcomed an impressive bit of good news afterward. Duffy was informed by reporters that he was already hitting 93 MPH on his fastball and touched 87 MPH on his slider. That's faster than ever for his slider, and Duffy averaged […]
