The reason Lionel Messi can play vs NE Revolution despite 5th yellow card with Inter Miami
Lionel Messi avoids a suspension for Inter Miami’s October 29 clash with the New England Revolution despite picking up his fifth MLS yellow card against FC Cincinnati.

Reporter Michelle Kaufman confirms he’s eligible, highlighting MLS’s policy that protects star players from missing marquee games after occasional fouls.
Why isn’t Dylan Larkin playing today, Oct. 29, for Detroit Red Wings vs Chicago Blackhawks?
Dylan Larkin sits out Thursday’s Detroit vs. Chicago game to pressure the Red Wings into finalizing a trade. The 30‑year‑old center, who filed a trade request in the offseason, withdrew his services until interim GM Shawn Horcoff completes a deal. Agent Pat Brisson says Larkin “has had enough” after months of stalled talks. Trade talks heat up, with the Minnesota Wild leading the chase, while Washington and Carolina also push offers. Larkin will remain unavailable for future games until a trade is done.

Cristiano Ronaldo delivers a clutch hat‑trick for Al‑Nassr against Al‑Kholood, bringing his career total to 985 goals. After two earlier strikes are ruled offside, he scores his 983rd goal on a counter‑attack from João Félix, adds a header for his 984th, and finishes the night with a tap‑in after Sadio Mané’s rebound, marking goal No. 985.

Colts determine high price to trade star RB Jonathan Taylor amid NY Giants interest
The Indianapolis Colts are demanding a first‑round pick to trade star running back Jonathan Taylor, with the New York Giants among the most vocal suitors. At 27, Taylor is in his prime and under contract through 2028, offering a rare three‑down talent that could instantly elevate a contender. His injury slate includes a 2024 high‑ankle sprain, a 2023 thumb ligament surgery, and prior ankle issues, but he has missed few games. Sources compare his value to the multi‑pick Christian McCaffrey deal, though the Colts insist on a first‑rounder. Other interested clubs include the Packers, Bengals, Vikings and Broncos.

Detroit has taken Dylan Larkin off the ice to protect his $8.7 million trade value as rumors swirl about a blockbuster move. Insider Frank Seravalli says interim GM Shawn Horcoff benches the 30‑year‑old center after Larkin’s camp pressured the club, aiming to avoid injury before a deal materializes.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy delivers pointed message to ex-NY Yankee Jake Bauers following World Series win
After the Milwaukee Brewers snap a 57‑year World Series drought, manager Pat Murphy delivers a blunt rebuke to former Yankees first baseman Jake Bauers during the post‑game celebration. Murphy jokes, “You’re going to be a rich f‑‑‑,” while reminding Bauers of his “horse‑s‑‑‑ Yankee” past. The jab follows Bauers’ transformation from a struggling Yankee to the 2026 NLCS MVP, highlighted by a pinch‑hit homer in the Wild Card Series and a .266 average with 26 homers in the regular season. The moment underscores Murphy’s fiery leadership as the Brewers hoist their first Commissioner’s Trophy.
Red Wings have reportedly made key trade decision on Dylan Larkin
The Detroit Red Wings have scratched captain Dylan Larkin for Thursday’s game against the Chicago Blackhawks, signaling a shift toward a trade. Interim GM Shawn Horcoff aims to protect the 30‑year‑old’s $8.7 million contract from injury while negotiations intensify with suitors such as the Minnesota Wild, Boston Bruins, Montreal Canadiens and New Jersey Devils. Insider Pierre LeBrun says talks have escalated, though a deal isn’t guaranteed yet.

Red Wings’ scouts hint Dylan Larkin trade to Canadiens can actually happen
Detroit’s scouting director Kris Draper has been attending Montreal Canadiens games, fueling rumors that the Red Wings are quietly nudging captain Dylan Larkin toward a trade with the Habs. Although Larkin’s current ten‑team no‑trade list excludes Montreal, the Canadiens remain interested and may pressure the winger to waive his clause. Alternate U.S. destinations like Boston, Philadelphia and Buffalo are still on Larkin’s radar, but the most lucrative offer appears to be from Montreal. As the 2026‑27 season unfolds, the trade saga could force Larkin into a shocking move north of the border or keep him in Motor City.
Red Wings come up with new Dylan Larkin plan as trade talks intensify
The Detroit Red Wings plan to keep Dylan Larkin out of the lineup until a trade is completed, intensifying negotiations. Coach Todd McLellan announced Larkin will be a healthy scratch before the home game against the Chicago Blackhawks, and interim GM Shawn Horcoff is expected to address the situation.

Patrick Kane shrugs off Red Wings fans’ reception amid ongoing Dylan Larkin drama
Patrick Kane returns to Little Caesars Arena in a Chicago Blackhawks uniform to face the Detroit Red Wings amid lingering Dylan Larkin trade drama. The 2026‑27 season has been rocky for both clubs, with the Red Wings denying any imminent trade for captain Larkin and Kane signing a two‑year, $16 million deal to rejoin Chicago. While Kane acknowledges the fierce rivalry and appreciates former Detroit fans, he says the game won’t solve the larger issues each side faces. Their on‑ice matchup now pits Kane against Larkin, who remains in Detroit despite his trade request.
Red Wings trade rumors: Why Detroit reportedly won’t give away Dylan Larkin
Detroit’s interim GM Shawn Horcoff says the Red Wings won’t trade captain Dylan Larkin without an elite return, thanks to the forward’s contract structure. Larkin’s eight‑year, $69.6 million extension, signed in March 2023, front‑loaded $31 million in cash, leaving an $8.7 million cap hit but only about $8 million in actual salary per year. This makes him a cost‑effective top‑six center for contenders, yet Horcoff rejects lowball and future‑heavy offers, demanding a proven young center or a multi‑team package before the deadline. Potential suitors include the Wild, Bruins and Canadiens.
Cristiano Ronaldo speaks out after edging Lionel Messi for Ballon d’Or ‘BOAT’ honor
Cristiano Ronaldo wins the inaugural Ballon d’Or of All Time (BOOT) award, edging Lionel Messi in a fan‑paid vote that sparked intense backlash. Ronaldo thanked fans on Instagram, posting a throwback to his 2008 Ballon d’Or. Critics denounce the €1‑per‑ballot model as a cash grab that favors wealthier fan bases and reduces the honor to a popularity contest, sidelining legends like Zidane and Ronaldinho. Meanwhile, England’s Harry Kane claims the 2026 Ballon d’Or after a dominant season. The controversy highlights the shifting GOAT debate as both icons near retirement.

In the U.S., the match airs on Fox Deportes and Fox Soccer Plus and streams via Fubo (including a free‑trial option).
Red Wings report indicates which Stanley Cup contender is favorite to trade for Dylan Larkin between Wild, Canadiens and Bruins
The Minnesota Wild are still the front‑runners to acquire Detroit Red Wings veteran center Dylan Larkin, according to insider David Pagnotta. Larkin’s 10‑team no‑trade list already includes Minnesota, giving GM Bill Guerin an administrative edge and allowing him to propose futures‑based packages with high draft capital. The Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens remain on the sidelines, but could jump into the race if Larkin expands his approved list beyond the current ten teams. Both clubs need a top‑six center—Boston to fill a No. 1 role, Montreal with a deep asset pool—so the trade market could widen, though Minnesota currently holds the clearest path.
NY Yankees, Mets, Phillies headline MLB offseason: Key dates, milestones, and what’s next
The Milwaukee Brewers win the 2026 World Series, and the Yankees, Mets and Phillies immediately shift to 2027 planning. Free agency opens Thursday, Oct. 29 at 9 a.m. ET with a five‑day exclusive negotiating window, followed by open market signings on Nov. 2.

NY Giants’ trade for Jonathan Taylor could grow more likely by the day
The New York Giants have officially said they aren’t actively chasing Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor for the 2026 season, but the trade market remains fluid. While Taylor—27, under contract through 2028—has not requested a move and his wife recently expressed doubts about leaving Indy, the Colts are shedding assets and the NFL trade deadline is Nov. 10, leaving room for a surprise shift. Analysts, including Mike Garafolo, note the deal is “not a lock” but still possible, keeping Giants fans hopeful for a potential home‑state reunion.
Dylan Larkin reportedly ready to take action against Red Wings as trade stalls
Dylan Larkin's trade request remains stalled as the Detroit Red Wings show no urgency to move their former captain. Despite rumors of behind‑the‑scenes deals and criticism of the Wings' asking price, no offer has materialized for the 2026‑27 season. Analyst Frank Seravalli warned Larkin could soon pressure Detroit, even considering legal action, though the player is locked into an $8.7 million, four‑and‑a‑half‑year contract through 2030‑31. With limited options—sit out the season or pursue a lawsuit—Larkin’s dispute stays in a tense “cold‑war” state, leaving fans to wonder when the next move will come.
Brewers capture first World Series title, but win comes at cost of Jacob Misiorowski injury
The Milwaukee Brewers clinch their first World Series title on October 29, 2026, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 5‑2 in Game 5 and ending a 57‑year drought. Star right‑hander Jacob Misiorowski, who posted a 0.84 ERA over 10 2/3 innings in the series, exits the clincher in the sixth with a strained calf, prompting winter‑time medical concerns. Despite the injury, Misiorowski joins the post‑game celebration, expressing emotion over the historic win. Highlights included early home‑run wins, a ten‑run outburst in Game 3, and clutch hits from William Contreras and David Hamilton, with Trevor Megill closing the series in the ninth.
Which MLB teams have never won the World Series? Ringless franchises in baseball
Five active MLB teams still lack a World Series ring: the San Diego Padres, Milwaukee Brewers, Seattle Mariners, Colorado Rockies and Tampa Bay Rays. The Mariners are the only franchise never to win an American League pennant or reach the Fall Classic since 1977. The Padres (1984, 1998), Brewers (1982), Rockies (2007) and Rays (2008, 2020) have all appeared in the Series but fell short, with the Rays pushing the Dodgers to six games in the pandemic‑shortened 2020 season. The Padres and Brewers share the longest active droughts at 57 seasons, while the Rangers ended a 63‑year drought by winning in 2023.
Bears’ Caleb Williams plans to keep wearing Caddix cleats despite NFL fine
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams refuses to ditch his Caddix cleats despite an $11,941 NFL fine for unapproved branding. He says the “SmartStud” shoes reduce tendon tension and boost durability, helping the Bears chase a playoff berth. Ahead of Monday night’s clash with defending champion Seattle Seahawks, Williams boasts a career‑best 71.0% completion rate, 1,020 yards, five TDs and one interception in a 3‑1 start to the 2026 season. The fine highlights the league’s strict uniform rules while the Bears bank on Williams’ continued rise.
Bo Bichette reportedly leaning toward opting in to $42M NY Mets deal: Timeline for decision
The New York Mets’ shortstop Bo Bichette is poised to exercise his $42 million player option, keeping him in Queens for the 2027 season. Per a New York Post report, Bichette has a five‑day window after the World Series to confirm the decision. His stay solidifies the in‑field core alongside Francisco Lindor as the Mets gear up for a roster overhaul, including an aggressive pursuit of Japanese power hitter Teruaki Sato by president David Stearns. Manager Andy Green will now juggle Bichette’s defensive assignments while integrating new talent.
NY Mets’ David Stearns wastes no time scouting Japanese slugger Teruaki Sato
New York Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns flies to Japan immediately after the 2026 season to scout power hitter Teruaki Sato, signaling the club’s serious intent to add the Japanese slugger amid rumored competition from the Yankees. The Mets are also linked to former Dodgers starter Tarik Skubal and are targeting veteran rotation arms like Matthew Boyd, Joe Ryan and Reid Detmers, while exploring first‑base options such as Jake Bauers, Ty France and Paul Goldschmidt. In the bullpen, Stearns prioritizes swing‑and‑miss relievers to back closer Devin Williams, underscoring an aggressive offseason overhaul.
Dodgers owner Mark Walter shuts down sale rumors following Lakers, Chelsea divestments
Dodgers owner Mark Walter quashes any talk of selling the franchise after recent exits from the Los Angeles Lakers and Chelsea FC. Citing Dodger Nation, Walter reiterates his long‑term commitment to Los Angeles as the team rebuilds following a NLCS loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Analysts say the Dodgers could fetch $8‑$10 billion if ever put on the market, far above the $2.15 billion Guggenheim paid in 2012. Walter’s Lakers stake sold for a $12.5 billion valuation, netting about $2.5 billion, while his Chelsea holdings were off‑loaded to Clearlake Capital. The focus now shifts to roster moves, including trade chatter around Tigers ace Tarik Skubal.
What happens if Brewers win, tie, or lose vs Rays today in Game 5 of 2026 World Series?
The Milwaukee Brewers host the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 5 of the 2026 World Series at American Family Field, holding a 3-1 series lead. A win clinches the Brewers' first franchise championship, ending the drought for both clubs that have never won the title. If the game stays tied after nine innings, extra innings will decide the outcome—no ghost runner rule applies. A Rays victory sends the series to Game 6 in St. Petersburg, keeping their hopes alive and forcing Milwaukee to defend a shrinking 3-2 lead. No team has ever rallied from a 3‑0 deficit, so the stakes are historic.
William Contreras’ status with Brewers reportedly in doubt for next season
All-Star catcher William Contreras remains central to the Brewers’ World Series push, yet his future in Milwaukee is uncertain. After rejecting a three‑year extension offered in 2025, Contreras signed a one‑year, $9.4 million deal for 2026 and delivered a career‑high 94 RBIs, a Silver Slugger‑level season and a postseason slash above .380/.1000. The club now holds his rights through 2027 and must decide whether to trigger a $14.5 million option or let arbitration decide his next contract. With the Brewers eyeing a 2027 roster overhaul, his status is a key offseason storyline.
