Jets Talking With JuJu Smith-Schuster

The New York Jets have been having conversations with Pittsburgh Steelers free-agent wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, according to sources. The Jets may not be done adding playmakers to their offense after adding wide receiver Corey Davis several days ago. Quarterback Sam Darnold was Smith-Schuster's QB in college at USC. While the Steelers aren't ruling out […]

Chris Flexen Roughed Up Wednesday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Chris Flexen had a tough go of it on Wednesday, allowing six runs over three innings to the Angels. Flexen allowed nine hits and one walk while striking out four. After establishing himself as a top starter and strikeout option in Korea during the 2020 season, Flexen is seeking to prove […]

Rafael Montero Strikes Out Two

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Rafael Montero threw a spotless sixth inning Wednesday against the Angels, striking out two in the process. Montero is the surefire bet to be the closer in Seattle to start the year, but he has been shaky in early spring action with an ERA sitting at 9.00. His job appears to […]

Evan White Hits A Grand Slam

Seattle Mariners first baseman Evan White hit a grand slam home run Wednesday. White accounted for all four Mariners runs against the Angels, with the homer coming off of lefty Thomas Pannone in the sixth inning. After a tough start to spring, White has come around of late. His slash line of .185/.273/.606 surely leaves […]

Giants Expected To Visit With Kenny Golladay

The New York Giants have been in talks with Detroit Lions star free-agent wide receiver Kenny Golladay, according to a source, and they are expected to bring him in for a visit prior to signing him to a deal.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin signed his $15.9 million franchise tender on Thursday, locking it in for the 2021 season in case he is unable to agree to a long-term contract extension with the team.

Daulton Jefferies Strikes Out Six In Three Innings Versus Royals

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Daulton Jefferies allowed two runs in three innings with six strikeouts in a Spring Training game Wednesday. The runs were the first Jefferies has allowed in nine innings this spring.

Alek Manoah Among Players Sent To Minors By Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays sent 25 players to the minor league camp on Thursday, including starting pitcher and former first-round pick Alek Manoah. The hard-throwing righty made a huge impression this spring by dominating the Yankees in two appearances. Although he won't break camp with the Jays, he could possibly help the club late in […]

Trevor Rosenthal Allows One Run In Spring Debut

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Trevor Rosenthal allowed one run in one inning of work in his Cactus League debut Wednesday. It wasn't pretty for the right-hander as he allowed two hits and a walk, but his performance is secondary to the fact Rosenthal was healthy enough to appear in spring action despite a groin injury […]

2021 NCAA Tournament Busts to Avoid

Last year was unlike any in the history of college basketball. Thanks to the pandemic, there was no NCAA Tournament. The entire end to the best finish in sports was canceled.

New York Mets outfielder Dominic Smith (wrist) remains out of the Mets' Grapefruit League lineup on Thursday for their game against the Washington Nationals.

Nick Solak Homers In Rangers Win

Texas Rangers second baseman Nick Solak continued to emerge from his slow start to the spring with a 2-for-3 day that included a home run. After just four hits in his first seven games, the 26-year-old is 4-for-9 (.444) with two home runs over his past three games. In total, Solak is hitting 8-for-26 (.308) […]

Terry Rozier Scores Team-High 21 Points

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier shot 7-for-13 en route to a team-high 21 points in Wednesday's loss to Denver. He was 3-for-9 from downtown and 4-for-5 at the line with five rebounds, four assists, and two steals. Scary Terry seems to have started to pick up steam again with back-to-back 20-point outings. However, he will […]

Bam Adebayo Registers 15-12-6 Line

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo had a solid performance in Wednesday's loss to the Grizzlies, picking up 15 points on 5-for-11 shooting with 12 rebounds and six assists.

The Miami Dolphins signed free-agent running back Malcolm Brown to a one-year, $1.75 million contract on Tuesday. Brown spent the first six years of his career with the Los Angeles Rams, rushing for 1,188 yards and 11 touchdowns over 298 carries.

John Ross to Giants - Fantasy Impact

After losing Golden Tate and making a heavy pursuit for Kenny Golladay, the Giants signed John Ross to a one-year $2.5 million deal on Tuesday. He will provide much-needed depth to a depleted wide receiver corps. Since it’s a one-year deal, the Giants will have limited risk invested into Ross. It could be easy to forget […]
