The Giants and Eagles will don throwback uniforms for their Week 9 showdown at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET. Both teams are dealing with losing quarterbacks—Jaxson Dart is out for the season after a knee injury, and Jalen Hurts misses the rest of the year due to blood clots, leaving the Eagles reliant on Tanner McKee, who has gone 0‑6. Despite the setbacks, the Giants sit atop the NFC East at 4‑2‑1, with J.J. McCarthy shining in a Week 7 overtime win. The game promises nostalgic kits but questionable on‑field quality.

Coach Mike Babcock says Howard’s condition isn’t severe, but he’ll likely sit out eight games during a busy stretch that includes a four‑game homestand (Ducks, Canucks, Rangers, Flyers) and a five‑game road trip. Rookie Filip Hallander steps in as his replacement.

The post pits two elite free‑agent relievers—left‑hander Adrián Morejón and right‑hander David Bedrar—against each other as the Cubs consider rebuilding their bullpen. Morejón, 27, posted a 2.83 ERA with the Padres, striking out 30% of batters and generating a 58% ground‑ball rate last season; his sinker and fastball both sit at 99 mph, and contract estimates put him at a four‑year, $88 million deal. Bednar, 31, logged 35 saves for the Yankees in 2026 after a rebound from a brief Triple‑A stint, throws a 96 mph four‑seamer and a 91 mph splitter touted as elite. The author asks fans to vote on which pitcher better fits Chicago’s needs.

For the New York Yankees, having one of baseball’s best rotations should have been a ticket to postseason glory.

The Yankees face a potential backup plan if closer David Bednar rejects his $23.15 million qualifying offer: Braves reliever Raisel Iglesias, who logged 34 saves, a 2.55 ERA, 64 strikeouts and 17 walks over 60 innings in 2026. At 36, Iglesias offers veteran late‑inning credibility, but a shorter deal may still carry a premium and forces New York to replace a known closer. Analyst Bryan Hoch notes the Yankees also have other bullpen free agents, like Paul Blackburn, and suggests negotiating with Bednar while pricing Iglesias in parallel to avoid last‑minute surprises. The piece weighs the trade‑off between a single elite closer versus a deeper, cost‑spread bullpen.

Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy clarifies the viral “hors‑t Yankees” remark he made to first baseman Jake Bauers during the team’s World Series celebration. The comment, captured after the Brewers’ 4‑1 Game 5 win over the Tampa Bay Rays that clinched their first championship, referenced Bauers’ 2023 stint with New York. Murphy explained on the New York Post’s “The Show” podcast that it was a private joke about free agency and that he later called Yankees GM Brian Cashman, describing the call as positive. He emphasized the remark wasn’t criticism of the Yankees but a light‑hearted jab that unintentionally went public.
