Kraken News

The Kraken are back tonight as they look to continue their red-hot play as of late.

They’re facing the New Jersey Devils in the third leg of their East Coast road trip.

The streaking Kraken have won nine of their last 12 as one of the hottest teams in the league. They sit just four points back from first place in the Pacific Division.

Seattle will now take on a struggling New Jersey squad that has dropped 8 of its last 11. The game began at 4:00 on KPUG.

After that, the Huskies men take the air on KPUG when they host 4th nationally ranked Michigan.

College Football News

One of the best football players in the Big 10 is coming back for one more season.

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore announced today that he’s returning for 2026. Moore was projected to be a top pick in the upcoming NFL draft, but he’ll instead come back to make Oregon one of the favorites for the next national title.

He led Oregon to this year’s College Football Playoff semifinals in his first season as a full-time starter.

MLB News

The MLB offseason is heating up.

ESPN reports that the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a five-year, $130 million deal with lefty starter Ranger Suarez. The former All-Star will join a pitching staff with Cy Young finalist Garret Crochet in Boston.

It comes days after the Arizona Diamondbacks signed veteran third baseman Nolan Arenado and the Chicago Cubs signed All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman.

Both signings leave former Mariner Eugenio Suarez as one of the most coveted third basemen left on the market.

Mariners News

Speaking of the Mariners, they’ll have plenty of representation in this year’s World Baseball Classic.

Lefty reliever Gabe Speier was announced as one of the latest additions to Team USA today. It’s his first appearance with the team.

He’ll now join Cal Raleigh on the team, while they’ll compete against teammate Randy Arozarena on Team Mexico.

Josh Naylor and Matt Brash have also been reported to compete for Team Canada.

Seahawks News

If you’re looking to be in attendance for the Seahawks’ first playoff game, it could cost you a pretty penny.

The cheapest tickets on TicketMaster are currently selling for just under $500. Field level tickets are going for nearly $4,000.

It comes as the team sent out a warning to season ticket holders that they could risk losing their seats if they resell their playoff tickets.
