With the 2026 NFL Draft winding down, teams began turning their attention to rookie free agency. The New England Patriots were no exception, and they will once again be quite busy: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel and quasi-general manager Eliot Wolf has several open spots on its 90-man roster available to be filled. […]
These teams meet for the first time since the Cubs defeated the Padres in last year’s tightly-fought Wild Card Series. Both teams are off to good starts in 2026; perhaps they will meet again in October. For more on the Padres, here’s Matt DeWalt, manager of our SB Nation Padres site Gaslamp Ball. The San […]
It’s 4 pm ET on the Monday after the draft, meaning that any free agents now signed by NFL clubs no longer count as compensatory free agents and won’t count against the compensatory free agent formula. This is pretty important to the Green Bay Packers, who should be expecting to receive a third-round pick (Malik […]
ESPN updated its way-too-early rankings for the 2026-27 season on Monday and IU basketball made an appearance in the top 25. The Hoosiers, who have added six players from the transfer portal this spring, are No. 25. Indiana is one ...

Last season, Seaver King swung at 53.1% of pitches in the minors. That is much more than the average big league rate, which hovers around 46%. This over aggression is part of what contributed to a rough first pro season for King. Now, the former first round pick is only swinging at 39.8% of pitches, […]
For the first time this year, the White Sox have had a week that did not end with a losing record. And the first half of the week brought the first back-to-back series wins of the season. Unfortunately, however, the second half saw a return to a lack of power and run support. Going into […]
On the brink of advancing to the second round and pulling out a sweep for the first time since 2010, the Lakers fell to the Rockets in Game 4. With Kevin Durant out once again, it set the stage for a young and athletic Houston squad to play with a sense of urgency and desperation. […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers made a splash in the 2026 NFL Draft when they selected Penn State quarterback Drew Allar in the third round. Now, they are brining one of his teammates with him to rookie minicamp. Pittsburgh has invited punter Gabe Nwosu to their rookie minicamp, per the Senior Specialist All-Star Game. What makes this […]
The Seattle Seahawks have made a roster move after a busy weekend at the NFL Draft. Veteran running back Cam Akers has been released, per a team announcement on Monday. Akers joined Seattle in late November after George Holani suffered a hamstring injury against the Tennessee Titans. The former second-round pick by the Los Angeles […]
While Tyler Glasnow, Justin Wrobleski, Emmet Sheehan, and Shohei Ohtani combine for an 11-0 record, Yoshinobu Yamamoto sits at 2-2 heading into his sixth start of the season. The trend of Yamamoto not receiving adequate run support, particularly in contrast with the regular numbers that this offense puts up, was a major theme of his […]
The Olympic Museum is full of memorabilia, but Outsports found nothing about LGBTQ athletes on its recent visit. These items are worthy of an exhibition. The post Team LGBTQ is missing from the Olympic Museum — so here’s my fantasy exhibition appeared first on Outsports .
The pencils have been down, full 2026 NFL Draft classes have been submitted, and here are the grades given by national media outlets to the Kansas City Chiefs: SB Nation: A- Best pick: Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU — 1st round, 6th overall Opinions on the Chiefs’ draft class are mixed, but I for one love […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is in the books, where all the picks traded in the years leading up to it finally turn from numbers into actual football players. With that in mind, we’ll be taking a look at what some of those trades look like now with the added context. This time, we’ll be looking […]
The Jays have placed Max Scherzer on the IL with forearm tendinitis and left ankle inflammation, backdated to his last start. Chase Lee has been called up and will be available tonight. Lee has been, well, interesting for the Bisons. A 1.32 ERA in 9 appearances, 13.2 innings (maybe we can use him for more […]
On their latest Chicago Draft Room, Ari Temkin and Jacob Infante are going pick by pick, breaking down the strengths and weaknesses of each new Chicago Bears player: Safety Dillon Thieneman, center Logan Jones, tight end Sam Roush, wideout Zavion Thomas, cornerback Malik Muhammad, linebacker Keyshaun Elliott, and defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg. Where […]
The overall talent of the Kansas City Chiefs’ running back room was certainly upgraded this offseason with the signing of Kenneth Walker III, along with a notable addition in Emari Demercado. Those moves put the Chiefs in a position to have it low on the priority list during the 2026 NFL Draft — until a […]
We may have jumped the shark when it comes to talking about reaches in the NFL Draft. For the 12th year in a row, the Raiders, Browns, and Giants “won” the draft. Perhaps 2026 is the year those drafts come to fruition in the win column. We shall see. When you watch the San Francisco […]
With all the great things that the Cleveland Browns were able to pull off during the 2026 NFL draft, and even with undrafted free agent signings, the one thing that was missing was getting new HC Todd Monken a fullback. This year’s draft had a few options, but GM Andrew Berry pulled the trigger on […]
It’s been a difficult year for Liverpool, and as we near the end of April it’s still difficult to say with any certainty if last season’s Premier League champions have actually found any kind of an identity, a foundation that could be built on over the summer to perhaps give them a real chance of […]
The Flyers have jumped out to a 3-1 series lead over Pittsburgh with plenty of contributions from unlikely sources. Four defensemen have goals, a fifth had two primary assists in a game, 16 players have a point in the postseason, and 13 of them have multiple points. Twelve different players have scored a goal in four games. It’s been a complete team effort to get to where they are now. With the fourth and final win the only obstacle between the Flyers and the second round, there are three Flye...
Earlier today, the Yankees optioned Luis Gil to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after taking the loss in the series finale in Houston. In a corresponding move, the Yankees are reportedly calling up outfielder Jasson Domínguez from Triple-A. A path to playing time for Domínguez opened up on Friday night when Giancarlo Stanton exited mid-game due to a calf […]
The season is starting to go off the rails for Northwestern (16-24-1, 5-16 B1G) as it failed to secure a single win in a weekend series at Minnesota (26-17, 8-13 B1G). The Wildcats lost all three games by multiple runs and have lost nine Big Ten games in a row. Northwestern and Minnesota entered the […]
Former Jay first baseman Willie Upshaw turns 69 today. Willie Upshaw was a rarity, a successful Rule 5 draft pick. We took him from the Yankees in 1978, who had drafted him in the 5th round in 1975. He quickly moved up through the minor leagues, but the Yankees had Chris Chambliss, who left after […]
In April, Real Madrid has only won once. In fact, Bayern Munich kicked Arbeloa’s side out of the Champions League after beating them in both legs. In La Liga, the defeat against Real Mallorca and draws against Girona and Real Betis made Real Madrid trail Barcelona by 11 points, which skyrocketed the odds of another […]
The 2026 NFL Draft has wrapped up, but the fun is just getting started (to a degree). The media, along with the players themselves, are about to start reporting on the undrafted free agents whom teams are trying to sign. Listed below will be players who have been rumored to have been contacted and signed […]
We have an all-Premier League UEFA Europa League semi-final on our hands, so you know what that means? Yes, you’re guaranteed to have an English club in the UEL Final. Aston Villa visits Nottingham Forest on Thursday night, as the two sides begin their two-legged tie. We have new injury concerns, on both sides, in […] The post Aston Villa at Nottingham Forest Team News: Amadou Onana, Jair Cunha, Murillo appeared first on The Sports Bank .
