1+ min ago (268+ words) Marco Luciano: A Promising Start Turned Uncertain Despite these struggles, Luciano is still only 24 years old, which suggests that there is ample room for development. The Pirates' decision to claim him indicates a willingness to take risks on young talent who may still have untapped potential. The Pirates' Strategic Move By acquiring Luciano, the Pirates are not only adding depth to their roster but are also making a calculated gamble on a player who has shown flashes of brilliance in the past. The Pirates have been in a rebuilding phase, focusing on young talent and potential. This acquisition aligns with their strategy to cultivate players who can contribute significantly in the future. Moreover, Luciano's versatility could be an asset. While he has primarily played shortstop, he transitioned to left field at Triple-A Sacramento in 2025. The Pirates may see him as…...

Washington, D.C USA " ZUMAs325 20251205_zsp_s325_074 Copyright: xJessxStilesx Aaron Judge had a busy Friday. He popped up at a FIFA event, where he was chosen as a draw assistant for the FIFA World Cup. What looked more attractive was that he shared the stage with some serious star power, Tom Brady, Shaquille O'Neal, and Wayne Gretzky, as they pulled team orbs from the pots to set up the tournament groups. So, the whole thing was designed to bring extra attention to the event in the capital. And with that lineup, it definitely worked. But amid…...

45+ min ago (1868+ words) It's time for the annual look back at the Twins' Top 30 prospects ranked by MLB Pipeline three years ago. In this edition, we'll look back at the top 30 prospects from 2022 and see where they finished their 2025 seasons, and what's ahead for them in the off-season. There are many questions surrounding Royce Lewis's future with the Twins, but he ended the 2025 season much stronger than he started it. His season was delayed to start due to a hamstring injury in late spring training, and he didn't join Minnesota's lineup until May 6. Lewis later admitted he rushed himself back into the lineup in May, which led to a poor first-half performance where he had just two home runs and a .216/.281/.302 slash line in 42 games. The second half went much better as Lewis had 11 home runs, 39 RBI, and a .249/.284/.439 slash line over 64 games....

46+ min ago (672+ words) Jeff Saturday and Domonique Foxworth explain why the Colts' loss to the Texans is troubling amid injuries. (0:49) No division winners will be crowned this week in the NFL, but three games Sunday could go a long way toward deciding who wins the NFC North and a pair of divisions in the AFC. The three Week 14 first-place showdowns are the Chicago Bears (9-3-1) at Green Bay Packers (8-3) in the NFC North, Indianapolis Colts (8-4) at Jacksonville Jaguars (8-4) in the AFC South and Pittsburgh Steelers (6-6) at Baltimore Ravens (6-6) in the AFC North. How critical are these divisional games? Since 2002, of the 159 teams that were leading their division through Week 14, when the NFL went to eight divisions, 139 of them won their division. That's 87.4%. It's also worth noting that all three of these games will have rematches in the coming weeks. The Packers and Bears have…...

1+ hour, 31+ min ago (521+ words) Dec 6, 2025 | 6:30 AM EST Sal Licata of WFAN recently urged the Mets to stop looking elsewhere and focus solely on Tarik Skubal to bolster their rotation. "Make a mega move in the offseason, and I'm thinking about the Mets. Think about what Skubal does to the Mets. And invigorating the fan base and the fanfare." "So you can't tell me that Skubal, who maybe the Mets would be his best suitor, would be more valuable to them at the trade deadline than he is right now. They definitely have to give up less. So for me, that's where the Mets should be. Not Joe Ryan and Buxton, not Peralta, it should be Skubal." " WFAN Sports Radio (@WFAN660) December 5, 2025 For the Mets, getting a deal for Tarik Skubal would likely mean they'd have to give up one or two of their top prospects....

1+ hour, 44+ min ago (270+ words) We know that the Braves have some long-term deals on their payroll of varying quality. While each of those deals were lauded at the time at being good values, nine figure deals still add up and has led to the Braves having a payroll that is somewhat restricted for years to come. As it turns out, those payroll debts may only be the beginning of the organization's issues. An analysis by Simply Wall St. of the Braves' current stock price and overall performance revealed that there is an argument that the Braves may be overvalued right now and that their debt-to-equity ratio could cause problems down the road. By all accounts, the Braves' top line revenue numbers have been extremely encouraging and have led to increasingly high valuations of the franchise. Investors seem happy, the Braves seem happy, and fans…...

2+ hour, 14+ min ago (367+ words) The Seattle Mariners are coming off winning the American League West in 2025. Moreover, Seattle fell one game shy of reaching the World Series, losing to the Toronto Blue Jays in seven games. As a result,the Mariners have a lot to do this offseason if they want to get to the Fall Classic. Early in the offseason, the Mariners didn't waste time securing one of their own free agents. Seattle signed Josh Naylor to a five-year contract to return to thePacific Northwest. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported on November 16, citing sources, that the Mariners signed Naylor through the 2030 season. Furthermore, his contract includes a full no-trade clause and is worth $92.5 million with no deferrals. With Naylor done, MLB insider Mark Feinsand believes that the next target for Seattle should be Japanese free agent star Munetaka Murakami. "That said, Murakami is a…...

2+ hour, 31+ min ago (516+ words) Dec 6, 2025 | 5:30 AM EST Apparently, Castellanos is willing to consider shifting from his traditional right-field spot to playing first base. "It was brought up to me, and it's something that I really welcome. As an amateur, I was a shortstop. I got drafted as a third baseman and played my first 500 games there." "I think going to first base is something that I can do, and I would enjoy it if a team or somebody needs me to do that. I'm not bad in the outfield because I can't catch a ball. No one ever says, "I can't catch a ball that I get to." If Castellanos is open to playing first base, the Mets will likely pursue him and won't feel as bad about Alonso leaving in free agency. When Casty appeared on a recent MLB Hot Stove Segment, he…...
