A pair of Maryland baseball’s brightest stars got their flowers Sunday, as Lance Williams and Brayden Martin were both selected on the second day of the 2026 MLB Draft. Williams was the first Terp off the board — he was selected in the eighth round as the 247th pick by the Chicago Cubs, the same […]

Heat If the Heat miss out on LeBron James, Russell Westbrook could emerge as a fallback option. According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, the veteran guard is a candidate for Miami, though only if the franchise is unable to land James in free agency. Bondy added that Cleveland, Miami and Philadelphia continue […] The post NBA Notes: Heat, Russell Westbrook, Lakers, Collin Sexton, Bulls appeared first on Hoops Wire .
Joey Bosa and the San Francisco 49ers have been in the speculation conversation this offseason as a potential fit for the two sides. Bosa might be looking to play for a contender, while the Niners need help with their pass rush situation. Last season, the 49ers put together 20 team sacks. Still, the team is […] The post Bears Get Strong Joey Bosa Message Amid 49ers Speculation appeared first on HEAVY .
We are currently in search of a new polling application to use with our updates, so please bear with our more naked feature today. Charlotte Knights 12, Nashville Sounds 4Completely redeeming themselves from Saturday, the Knights (49-44) popped off for 15 hits and blew out the Sounds (53-40), 12-4, splitting the series with three wins […]
Bulls guard Norman Powell addressed the media for the first time since the Bulls officially announced his acquisition. His vet mission in Chicago is obvious.
It's been a rough go of late for New York Mets' starter Freddy Peralta. He was brought in this season to be the team's new ace, but a 6.96 ERA over his last seven starts has left him with a 4.66 ERA overall, and a big disappointment in his contract year. He was expecting a huge payday in free agency this winter, and declined the Mets' early-season extension offers. Now, he'll likely find himself in another uniform in three weeks, as the trade deadline hits on Aug. 3rd. He does have enoug...
If I can just rant about something, MLB knows that one of the things that draws in younger fans is the idea of new, young talent coming into the game. So why do we then play the Futures Game on a Sunday morning (OK, early afternoon Eastern Time) opposite an entire slate of MLB games […]
PHILADELPHIA -- Caleb Bonemer has always been a good interview , but especially for this site , as he's always willing to dive into the weeds discussing his swing. But that might be the wrong way to describe it. It's more like we're diving into the weeds of his swing. Bonemer simply lives there, even as he's standing at his locker before the MLB Futures Game, donning an All-Star jersey and surrounded by the most media members he's ever seen in his life. The post A Futures Game chat with Ca...
The A’s couldn’t manage to escape the South Side with a win, getting swept by the White Sox 9-1 to wrap up the first half. Righty J.T. Ginn was off today. After the A’s gave him a quick lead in the first he coughed that right back, allowing six runs in the first inning to […]
The best baseball commentary can be both entertaining and informative, and Knoxville Smokies reporter Philip Stalzer found a moment to, perhaps unintentionally, inject some humor into a recent broadcast when a player hit a home run while he was doing a report about ballpark hot dogs. The Smokies, the Double-A affiliate of the Chicago Cubs,…
Sports Illustrated recognized Cairo Santos as one of the Bears' most important players, underscoring the franchise's long-standing success at the kicker position.
The 2026 MLB Draft kicked off earlier today, as the Chicago White Sox took UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky with the No. 1 overall pick. Milwaukee took shortstop Trey Ebel — the brother of Brewers’ 2025 No. 32 overall pick Brady Ebel — with their first pick at No. 25. For our full draft preview from […]
There was a poignant moment for the Cincinnati Reds during their 8-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs in Great American Ball Park on Sunday afternoon. The Reds, last place residents of the NL Central and now 9 games under .500, actually looked like they might have figured things out for once. Andrew Abbott had labored […]
Caleb Wilson didn’t want to talk about his 35 points and seven three-pointers after his brilliant Summer League debut, according to Julia Poe of the Chicago Tribune. Instead, the Bulls’ lottery pick was disappointed that the team lost and he committed six turnovers and missed four free throws. Wilson, the No. 4 overall pick in […]
The first half is officially in the books, and the Chicago White Sox are in first place. Sam Antonacci and Braden Montgomery homered, Miguel Vargas and Kyle Teel had multi-hit performances, and Noah Schultz threw five mostly stress-free innings as the Good Guys picked up their 50th win of the season, 9-1 over the Sacramento […]
In all my time at South Side Sox, this is the sort of draft I’ve been waiting to cover for the White Sox, one where the club just kept digging up quality picks even late in the draft, as opposed to going completely off of the MLB board by, like, the fourth round. The South […]
One Cubs player who probably isn’t all that happy with having four days off for the All-Star break could be Alex Bregman. Bregman homered for the second straight game, a three-run blast that gave the Cubs a four-run lead in the seventh inning. He went 3-for-5 with four RBI on the afternoon. The Cubs hung […]
The Cubs enter the All-Star break after surviving a brutal stretch of injuries. Now, Chicago hopes the week off provides the reset needed for the second half.
Noah Schultz opened the game by giving up a single, erasing it with a double play, and then giving up a solo shot to Shea Langeliers before he could record the third out. Still, Schultz didn't walk anybody, and he threw 13 of his 16 pitches for strikes. If a guy who came into the game with 29 walks in 48 major league innings wanted positive reinforcement for staying in the strike zone, the rest of the game rewarded him for it.

Just like that, the White Sox may have taken their position in the catbird seat of the draft (top pick overall, dealing for an extra sandwich pick after the first round) and put an outrageous amount of distance between themselves and the runner-up, striking again with a massive talent nab in the 12th round, nabbing […]

Surprise, surprise, the White Sox have struck some gold in the 11th round, nabbing No. 162 MLB prospect Kyle Casteel of Butler (Pa.) H.S. with the No. 315 pick in the 2026 MLB draft. Particularly given the timing, coming after an hour break in the draft and following three straight college value picks. The White […]
The Chicago Blackhawks have made it clear that they want to take a step forward next season. Their most notable move so far this offseason was when they traded this year’s 4th overall pick, 45th overall pick, and defenseman Louis Crevier to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for star blueliner Bowen Byram and winger Jordan […] The post Blackhawks Trade Pitch Lands Flames Former First-Round Pick appeared first on HEAVY .
