D-backs’ Scott McGough feeling more comfortable adjusting to MLB hitters
PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks signed 33-year-old Scott McGough out of Japan to be a closing option last winter. In his first save opportunity and third outing, he allowed back-to-back solo home runs to surrender a walk-off winner against the San Diego Padres on April 3.

Marquise Brown leads Cardinals WRs into life post-DeAndre Hopkins
There’s no way around it: the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver room took a shot with the release of DeAndre Hopkins. Getting Hopkins’ cap hit completely off the books in 2024 makes a lot of sense for new general manager Monti Ossenfort as he works on rebuilding Arizona’s roster. That doesn’t mean the move doesn’t sting from a production and depth standpoint. As it stands, the … [Read more...] about Marquise Brown leads Cardinals WRs into life post-DeAndre Hopkins

Carson Palmer believes Cardinals need Budda Baker
It is not a stretch to say Budda Baker is one of the most important players on the Arizona Cardinals. It goes beyond his relentlessness in the defensive backfield. Baker requested a trade from Arizona in April and has been an often-reference name alongside former wideout DeAndre Hopkins since the start of the new Monti Ossenfort-Jonathan Gannon regime. Baker did not show up to … [Read more...] about Carson Palmer believes Cardinals need Budda Baker
Nick Rallis, Cardinals not rushing process with LB Isaiah Simmons
Arizona Cardinals linebacker and 2020 first-round pick Isaiah Simmons has been a defensive nomad throughout his career. One season (or game), he’s here. The next, he’s there. Simmons stuffed the stat sheet in the process but hasn’t been able to call any one position home for very long despite his familiarity with former defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. For new DC Nick … [Read more...] about Nick Rallis, Cardinals not rushing process with LB Isaiah Simmons
GCU’s Jacob Wilson has been the hardest player in NCAA D-I to strike out for 2 seasons

The 21-year-old junior has been the toughest player in NCAA … [Read more...] about GCU’s Jacob Wilson has been the hardest player in NCAA D-I to strike out for 2 seasons
