Here's something to keep in mind in the Roki Sasaki sweepstakes: Shohei Ohtani told Yoshinobu Yamamoto he would support and root for him wherever he decided to sign. Yu Darvish threw a fit and said his franchise misled him regarding their efforts to sign Ohtani. Interesting.

🇺🇸🇵🇹: I am here for USMNT vs Portugal in a friendly at Mercedes Benz Stadium The USA are coming off a lost to Belgium 2-5, while Portugal had a 0-0 against Mexico #USMNT #Portugal #USA #ItsPortugalTime #Ronaldo

@Joba_44 Really good. Gotta give MLB credit, both the pitch clock and ABS are (so far) great editions to the game.

Ok, almost a week in of baseball. What are your honest opinions of the ABS system? #baseball

Honor to be featured on this week’s edition of STAA’s Calls of the Week:

Sources: UMBC has canceled the remainder of the 2026 softball season. The firing of 2 coaches and a player vote led to the decision. si.com/onsi/softball/…

@Declan_2217 The first loss always hurts but you’re right the offense has to get going. Ohtani/Tucker to be particular, and more slug in general.

It’s 4 games and even if they lose they’ll still be 3-1, so I’m not gonna doom post about the offense. That being said it is kinda frustrating that basically the entire lineup is ice cold outside of a couple moments here and there.

@GeffenKid Bruh

@BroadcastingMax why do i speak 😭

Roki locating the fastball/splitter and being efficient

@BNightengale Should be the blueprint for more small market teams who don’t spend money honestly props to them

The Milwaukee Brewers are on the verge of finalizing an 8-year deal for slightly more than $50 million with 21-year prized shortstop prospect Cooper Pratt, who had not played above Class AA until this year. The deal will include two option years for about $15 million a year.

BREAKING: Fordham will hire LIU’s Neil Harrow as their next head women’s basketball coach, sources told @On3. Harrow just wrapped up his first season at the helm of LIU, finishing with a 21-11 overall record and a 14-4 mark in NEC play. READ: on3.com/her/news/fordh…

On his birthday and bobblehead night, Will Smith drills a perfectly-placed 98 MPH fastball to straightaway center field for a 2-run HR to give the Dodgers a 3-2 lead in the 8th. He's made for the moment.

Will Smith, inevitable.

Really rough showing from both Shohei Ohtani and Kyle Tucker in the first three games of 2026.

Clayton Kershaw gets the ball for the ceremonial first pitch before getting his ring.

this happening literally as the Dodgers are receiving their World Series rings is a little too on the nose

Very good start from Yamamoto Almost every offensive player got a hit Offense looked great Treinen, Klein, Scott all looked great Comeback win Perfect start to the year for the Dodgers
