I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

Let’s not pretend Justin Fields isn’t the most exciting thing to hit Chicago since Donny Osmond took up residence in the northern suburbs for his stint in Joseph. It’s really hard to believe that the NFL season isn’t over yet. And after this weekend’s games, we’ve got two more weeks to endure. Professional sports leagues…

I’d love to say that the two days has cleared things up for me, but it hasn’t and I’m sure Giants fans are no less confused. They’ve also got to be pretty steamed. It seemed like years ago when the Giants signed Carlos Correa to a 13-year, $350 million deal. And then, at the last…

When college football coach Mike Leach passed away 9 days ago, mentees and friends within the industry talked about their plans to connect with him, or recent interactions. He was that type of guy. Like him or not, he was charismatic-often speaking his mind on any number of subjects. Fans connected with him because of…

Can anything the Dodgers do, go under the radar? Los Angeles has always been about the hype. Throw in the fact they spend billions on ballplayers and subtlety doesn’t come to mind. It’s also impossible to predict how a 35-year-old DH will respond to a less hitter-friendly environment. I don’t think going from Boston to…

If the third largest sports market in the country held a quadruple header on a cold Saturday afternoon and nobody showed, would the six fans in attendance make a noise? Personally, I have no idea what a college football Saturday is like. In my four fall semesters in college, we didn’t have anything resembling a…

The Cubs finally landed an impact free agent this year. We’ll have to wait and see if Dansby Swanson is the answer to all of our problems. If one believes the reports, a 7-year $177 million contract is quite a deal-given what the other shortstops have gotten and other free agents. Unlike most of the…

Holiday pop-up bars and outlandish decorations have become the norm. Regardless of whether you celebrate Christmas or not, bumping into bars and restaurants cashing in the holidays is impossible these days. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. As we’ve all been forced to face different and difficult economic realities, businesses have been forced to…

As a baseball fan almost completely bored by the current NFL season, I couldn’t be happier that general managers, at the behest of their bosses, are finally opening their wallets and spending big time on free agents. As friends keep reminding me, it’s not my money and the spending is in indication of how well…

For the better part of the last dozen years, I’ve probably discussed the RF draft more than any writer not employed by MLB or MLBPipeline. As this is the first time since 2006-excluding the Pandemic season, where I haven’t been to Arizona for the AFL. Not only was there no AFL season in 2020, we…
