A.J. Hinch on losing his org's Triple-A manager: "I don't have a comment on the whole thing. In terms of my confidence in Hess and the transition, he’s going to handle it very well. He and I talk regularly already, even when he was the hitting coach."

Jacob Gonzalez across 139 PA at the AA this year: .298/.417/.588 .435 wOBA 148 wRC+ 15.8% BB 15.5% Pull-Air Another young player for a White Sox organization that continues to build on itself!

An adjustment from #WhiteSox Director of Hitting, Ryan Fuller, has made all the difference for Jacob Gonzalez this season. Gonzalez leads @KnightsBaseball in home runs & RBIs, and has been impressively consistent at the plate throughout his 2026 campaign so far. I think what stands out most though is his calm and poised demeanor. His mental approach to the game is pretty remarkable. We talk about that & more on the full episode of the Charlotte Knights Podcast ft. Jacob Gonzalez-- which is coming soon! This was a really insightful one with Jacob.

#Saints RB Alvin Kamara told @T_Armstead72 that he’s excited to work with Travis Etienne Jr. and hopes it can resemble what he and Mark Ingram had together: “A lot of people be thinking there’s beef or something when moves like this happen. I couldn’t be happier. He got paid and we got help in the backfield. I’m cool with it.”

Max's spin/save is even more satisfying in slow motion 👌

This NFLPA complaint against Leaf could have a massive impact on the production of unlicensed sports cards. Lawsuit lands a little over a month after Fanatics regained the exclusive rights to make licensed NFL cards.

The NFLPA then alleges that Leaf "is using the Attributes of (far) more than six Players in its trading card products" without permission from the NFLPA and that...<looks>..huh..."[u]pon information and belief" that Leaf did not secure rights for some of the players on its cards.

For those who don't know, the NFLPA (and NFLPI) allege that they are the "exclusive licensing agents for NFL players' names, images, likenesses," etc. ...and that if anyone uses six or more players within a 12-month period...well, they be infringers. Paraphrasing. Slightly.

So the complaint begins by stating that the NFLPA (and NFLPI) have sued Leaf for allegedly "knowing[ly] and deliberate[ly] misappropriat[ing]" NFLPA players’ rights of publicity by making trading cards of such players.

But really what I'm sure you wanted to hear about today was the NFLPA v. Leaf lawsuit, right? Let's kinda live this read one! ("Kinda" as I actually skimmed it this morning...but I'll read it more slowly now).
