George Lombard Jr. went 1-for-2 with a homer and a walk in his first Yankees game, then handled shortstop like he belonged there.
As the Yankees approached last season’s Trade Deadline, they’d squandered an early division lead and sat in need of reinforcements. The most logical area of the roster to augment was the bullpen. Devin Williams, acquired in a preseason blockbuster to serve as the team’s closer, had been a massive disappointment, closing out July with an […]

Once the hockey players arrived in Italy, the action moved on in a fast an furious manner. Since Wednesday, nations have been playing each other in their round robin groups to establish seeding this week. With the United States winning 5-1 over Germany on Sunday, all of the seeding has now been set and we […]
The Calgary Flames appear to be somewhat open to going into a rebuild. They have some talented young pieces and plenty of players that they can move for more assets. They may not want to tear it completely down, but while sitting 29th in the NHL this season, there is interest coming their way for a number of their players. One name in particular that is intriguing and would be a big one is Mackenzie Weegar. David Pagnotta said, "They haven't approached him about his no-trade. There's already s...
The Miami Dolphins are releasing edge rusher Bradley Chubb, as per Jordan Schultz on X. Chubb was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft. He spent four seasons in Denver, establishing himself as one of the league’s top pass rushers. However, injuries plagued his time at Denver, starting […]

The men’s Olympic hockey tournament continues — and concludes — this week with the knockout phase and medal rounds starting on Tuesday. So far, it has been a pretty good tournament for the Pittsburgh Penguins representatives, and there is a good chance that at least one of them returns with some sort of a medal. […]
Rutgers baseball won its season-opening series against the College of Charleston 3-1. After falling 8-3 on opening day, the Scarlet Knights rattled off three straight impressive victories to earn the overall series win. Charleston started the first game hot, putting Rutgers in a 5-1 hole after just two innings. The Knights would get some momentum […]
The New England Patriots are coming off their best season in years, but there are still areas that need to be addressed in order for them to keep finding consistent success. One of the most glaring among them is the defensive edge, which saw some solid performances but is nonetheless facing questions heading into the […]
Cue the training montage before the climax of the thriller.
Next up for Duke is a Monday visit from the Syracuse Orange. The Blue Devils get a Saturday-Monday turnaround which is actually useful since it simulates the NCAA tournament structure where you (hopefully) play a second time with one day’s rest (in fairness, so does the Orange, and they have to fly, too). At 15-11 […]
The San Diego Padres have two catchers who need to prove they belong in the organization. Luis Campusano is taking what might be his last chance to make the major league roster and stick at that level as he is out of options. If he does not make the roster he would be cut by […]

The Fangraphs top 100 prospect list for 2026 is out, and the Texas Rangers have a surprisingly impressive showing, with five prospects making the cut. Well, technically, only four Rangers prospects are in the top 100, but Fangraphs’ top 100 lists run a little over 100 because they include every prospect who hits the grade […]
Analysis is a tricky game and any good analyst should acknowledge as many factors as possible. We saw earlier that Dana Brown said the Astros were not done. So, any full analysis of the Jesus Sanchez for Joey Loperfido trade would have to include what the Astros do beyond that. Good analysis would also involve […]
Harrison Mevis filled in during the 2025 season to become the Los Angeles Rams kicker out of necessity, and he answered the call by going 12-13 on field goals (plus 6-6 in the postseason) and a clean 39-39 on extra points. Not bad for a “fill-in”. Mevis’s rise with the Rams is an interesting one, […]

As many of these discussions turn out, this prompt could go either way. Did the splendor of 2005 cement you as a White Sox fan? Did the pandemic-shortened season in 2020 cause you to value baseball differently? Did 2024’s infamy make you take a different tact as a die-hard White Sox fan? How about the […]
Two Knicks appeared on the All-Star “Game” on Sunday. Neither won the thing, and only one made it to the final match. This is the first time all season someone involved with New York has failed to win a meaningless title. Jalen Brunson On Jeremy Sochan’s addition and what he brings: “Yeah, I’m very excited […]
Last week, Manchester United minority owner Jim Ratcliffe gave an interview in which he made offensive and inaccurate claims about social class and the impact of immigration in the United Kingdom. “You can’t have an economy with nine million people on benefits and huge levels of immigrants coming in,” Ratcliffe said. “I mean, the UK […]
There is no position that has shifted more in a single year than safety. Entering 2025, the Detroit Lions looked like they had the unquestioned, best safety duo in the league, and with both under 25 at the time, Detroit was set for years to come at safety. Unfortunately, injuries have put a huge damper […]
Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing the Oilers’ coaching noise, Paul Coffey’s return, Leon Draisaitl’s comments on the team, and more. If…
Dominik Szoboszlai was a key player for Liverpool over the past two seasons, but few on the outside seemed to expect him to take the step forward that he has in 2025-26, becoming one of the few bright spots in a struggling side. In fact, many thought the signing of Florian Wirtz would impact his […]
