So how much does Shohei Ohtani really improve the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024?Much like Susie Izzard (Drink!) says chiropractors “LIVE FOR THE NOISE!” I too live for the noise of the offseason. We can’t get much more than Shohei Ohtani and his reps donated to us, or at least their methods of sending the baseball press into orbit did. There should be much more to come, but the...

Which MLB hot starts through Memorial Day are here to stay?We’ve reached Memorial Day, the first real milestone of the MLB season. The first seven weeks or so don’t decide who makes the playoffs, but it gives us a pretty good barometer. But which (at least somewhat surprising) starts are here to stay?...

Miguel Cabrera is why you don’t trade Juan SotoMiguel Cabrera was the easy comparison for Juan Soto when he was made available and then eventually shipped out of DC to San Diego.

That’s generally the hope for any hockey player, as forlorn as it may be. And perhaps Pronger was trying to do the right thing and illustrate how so many fo...

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made every baseball sorry it was ever born

We’re going to be hearing from Blue Jays fans all season, and it’ll be kicked into overdrive here in the next month after the Leafs barf all over themselves in the first round again. All of that energy will definitely be channeled into the Rogers Centre immediately. You won’t be able to duck it....

Shohei Ohtani is on the cover of MLB the Show 22, much to the chagrin of Stephen A. Smith

When you talk about an audience gravitating to the tube, or to the ballpark, to actually watch you, I don’t think it helps that the number one face is a dude that needs an interpreter so you can understand what the hell he’s saying....
