When did Brayan Rocchio become the greatest baseball player of all time

Phew. I haven't slept in days worrying about whether Deshaun Watson has ill will towards us.

Angel Martínez got up slowly, but is staying in the game after making an impressive catch down the left-field line.

The 2026 Guardians lineup is more dynamic than the 2024 edition, and the latter version was good enough to reach the ALCS. @MLBNetwork

The Cavaliers reportedly declined a trade in February that would’ve sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to Cleveland, per @flasportsbuzz The Cavs did not want to part ways with Evan Mobley (h/t @Sleeper_Hoops)

The Big Ten pushing for 24-team playoff is beyond shameful. The fiber, character and pure makeup of college football was meant for the regular season on Saturdays. Every game feeling important. 24 teams waters down product and I can promise you No. 14-24 will never win it all.

Chris Canty just dropped an unprompted grenade into the Myles Garrett offseason saga. "Nobody has given me a reasonable explanation as to why Myles Garrett would defer a $30 million payment until a week before the season. It feels like Todd Monken knows something that everybody else doesn’t, which is he’s not with the team right now, he’s probably not going to be on the team when we start the season in Week 1."

Who needs a cutoff man when you have an assault riffle attached to your arm 👀
