Knicks beat Hawks to end team-record losing streak

The losses had dated to Jan. 4, a stretch of 18 straight games. And at this point, a win wasn’t going to make much difference, other than giving the downtrodden Knicks the chance to retreat to the All-Star break with the gloom of a franchise-record losing streak behind them. And as they departed — with most of the team bound for a week-long vacation, no one in the All-Star Game and only Kevin Knox and Dennis Smith Jr. heading to Charlotte for any part of the festivities — they left relieved about ending the futility with a 106-91 win over […]

Ravens to trade Joe Flacco to Broncos

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said in early January that quarterback Joe Flacco would have a market, and the prediction proved correct. The Ravens on Wednesday agreed in principle to trade Flacco to the Denver Broncos in exchange for a fourth-round pick, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via sources informed of the situation. Rapoport added that Flacco, who had three years remaining on his contract, will need to rework his deal for the Broncos. Baltimore and Denver are not allowed to publicly comment on the transaction until the NFL’s new calendar year begins on March 13, when the deal should be finalized. ESPN’s Adam Schefter was first to […]

Reliever Sergio Romo, Marlins agree on one-year deal

As first reported by MLB.com’s Jesse Sanchez, the Marlins have agree to a one-year, $2.5 million deal with right-hander Sergio Romo (plus incentives). The contract is still pending a physical. Earlier on Tuesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic mentioned that the sides were in negotiations. Romo is a dinosaur, and I’m not just saying that because his 36th birthday is approaching. Unlike most modern relievers, he lacks the fastball velocity to overwhelm batters—his four-seamer averaged just 86.4 miles per hour in 2018. Instead, he relies heavily on a “frisbee” slider, throwing more of those last season (655) than all of his other pitches combined (474). At the same time, […]

Buccaneers release DE Vinny Curry after just one season

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers released Vinny Curry on Tuesday after the eighth-year defensive end spent one season with the team. The move comes four weeks before the start of free agency and effectively makes Curry an unrestricted free agent. The Buccaneers signed Curry last March after he had been released by the defending-champion Philadelphia Eagles four days earlier. That move was part of an overhaul to a defensive line that also include the signings of Beau Allen and Mitch Unrein, the trade for Jason Pierre-Paul and the selection of Vita Vea in the first round of the 2018 draft. The […]

Colts name former OL coach Howard Mudd as senior offensive assistant

The Indianapolis Colts have signed Klayton Adams as assistant offensive line coach and Howard Mudd as senior offensive assistant. Additionally, Marcus Brady has been elevated from assistant quarterbacks coach to quarterbacks coach. Mudd has over 40 years of NFL experience as a coach (1974-2009, 2011-12) and player (1964-71). He re-joins Indianapolis after serving as the team’s offensive line coach for 12 seasons (1998-2009). Mudd was a member of the Colts’ Super Bowl XLI championship team. He previously served as offensive line coach for the Philadelphia Eagles (2011-12), Kansas City Chiefs (1989-92), Cleveland Browns (1983-88), Seattle Seahawks (1978-82, 1993-97), San Francisco 49ers […]

Jeremy Hellickson, Nationals agree to deal for 2019

Right-hander Jeremy Hellickson and the Washington Nationals have agreed in principle to a $1.3 million, one-year contract, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the deal was subject to a successful physical exam. Hellickson, 31, signed a 1-year/$2M deal last March and posted a 3.45 ERA, a 4.22 FIP, 20 walks (1.97 BB/9), and 65 Ks (6.41 K/9) in 19 starts and 91 1⁄3 innings pitched before a wrist injury in August, which he re-aggravated in a mid-September start, ended his season. After a rough 2017 campaign […]

Falcons release starting cornerback Robert Alford

Tuesday evening, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported that the Falcons had released veteran cornerback Robert Alford. According to the report, the former second-round pick out of Southeastern Louisiana was scheduled to make $8.5 million during the 2019 season. However, Atlanta could release him while only suffering a $1.2 million cap hit. His release leaves an open spot across from Desmond Trufant, which the team will likely try to fill during the 2019 NFL Draft. Alford was obviously disappointed by the move considering that he has been a key member of this defense since 2013. He posted a farewell message on his Twitter account, expressing his love […]

Jerry Blevins gets minor league deal

Signing a left-handed reliever wasn’t as high up on the A’s list of priorities as starting pitching or catcher, but they may have just filled that need before the other two. A familiar face is back with the organization as the club signed Jerry Blevins to a minor league deal Monday. According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Blevins would earn a $1.5 million salary if he makes the big league club, and he should have a good shot given the current state of the bullpen. Ryan Buchter is the only left-hander on the A’s 40-man roster. While […]

A’s closer Blake Treinen wins arbitration case

Closer Blake Treinen won his arbitration case against the Oakland A’s, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Treinen is now slated to make $6.4M for the 2019 season, with one more season of arbitration eligibility remaining in 2020. The A’s had submitted a bid of $5.6M. With this victory, Treinen earns a $4.25M raise on his 2018 salary, which Passan notes is a record jump for a second-time arbitration-eligible player. Of course, the Athletics were the beneficiaries of a significant jump in production from Treinen this season as well, as their closer recorded 11.2 K/9 en route to his first All-Star appearance, a sixth-place finish in […]
