Mets Extension Talks With Francisco Lindor To Begin Soon

New York Mets team president Sandy Alderson indicated on Monday that extension talks between the team and shortstop Francisco Lindor should begin soon. Lindor is due to be a free agent at the end of the 2021 campaign, so it would be in the Mets' best interest to lock the four-time All-Star to a long-term […]

Buddy Hield Makes History In 30-Point Game

Taj Gibson (PF/C, NYK) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of leagues ANALYSIS: When the Knicks signed Taj Gibson to his third Tom Thibodeau-led roster back in January, I thought it was out of comfort or familiarity, because it seemed highly unlikely that the now 35-year-old veteran would have a significant role to play on the […]

Tyus Jones (PG, MEM) - Week 11 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of leagues ANALYSIS: Tyus Jones is a lot like the T.J. McConnell of the Memphis Grizzlies (or vice-versa). Sure, there are aspects of the game that they're lacking, but as to their strengths, they'll do what they do best and squeeze production out of every last […]

Catchers perform a mostly thankless job as one of the hardest-working players on the baseball diamond day in and day out.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for Monday (3/1/21) - Monkey Knife Fight

Not a huge Monday slate with seven games scheduled, and out-of-conference games don't exactly increase the appeal. Right before the All-Star Break, players who have been unavailable most of the season are trying to make the most of their minutes, for example Evan Fournier and Justise Winslow. While superstars are arguably easing their workload in […]

There are seven games on tap Monday night, an amount some DFS players would argue is the ideal number with which to build both cash game and tournament lineups.

Welcome to the 2021 edition of RotoBaller's Spring Training Notebook.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini received a standing ovation in his first Spring Training at-bat Sunday against the Pirates in what was his first since March 2020.

Christopher Bell Falls Flat At Homestead, Finishes 20th

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Christopher Bell endured a long day behind the wheel. He started second thanks to Denny Hamlin being forced to the rear of the field.
