Deadspin fixes American sports: We need to abolish trades
Admittedly, I’ve spent the week in a blind rage thanks to the trade deadline in MLB. And that’s due to my former baseball flame, the Cubs, making a spectacle of themselves. But I’ve written that article, and may have to write it again later today should this be the day the Cubs ship Kris Bryant off ...

The NL West is shaping up to be one of the best divisional races we’ve seen in quite some time. Currently, the Giants, Dodgers, and Padres are on pace to win over 90 games. There hasn’t been a division with at least three teams reaching the 90-win threshold since the NL Central in 2015 (I miss when ...
Because Tokyo 2021 is weird and shouldn’t be happening, Deadspinners recall their favorite past Olympic moments

Seattle Kraken put on a great show, but will they win?
Tonight was the expansion draft, and yeah, I know like 80% of it was leaked online. Still. We saw Mt. Rainier, Pike’s Place Market with a thrown fish, the Space Needle, local sports icons, Macklemore, a whole lot of sea life, and everything about it felt incredibly, and perfectly, Seattle....
The Kraken are preserving cap space apparently, but for who? For what?
We’re still only in the leaked stage, and leave it to the NHL to not think that the Seattle Kraken’s expansion draft would get out before the big show tonight thus rendering it moot, but it appears that GM Ron Francis has gone the pretty boring route. No Carey Price, no side deals that actually pilf...

I thought having a crowd would make Monday Night Raw try harder. That’s my bad
Monday Night Raw was last in the pool, as it were.

It used to be that those sports, like gymnastics, swimming, and track, would only really show up on your TV every so often. Maybe you’d cat...
