Rowland Office, the 1975 Topps rookie highlighted in the Hall of Fame’s #CardCorner series, logged a 29‑game hitting streak in 1976—the closest any of his 11‑year MLB career (Braves, Expos, Yankees) came to joining the 30‑game club. Drafted by Atlanta in the fourth round of 1970, Office debuted at 19, became the youngest player in the majors that season, and later backed up Dusty Baker while taking over for Hank Aaron after the legend’s record‑breaking 715th homer on April 8, 1974. He finished 1974 with a .246 average in 131 games and finished his career batting .259. The article traces his rise from high‑school star to its most memorable streak and includes a Topps card photo.
Two-time All-Star Bo Bichette exercises his player option to stay with the New York Mets for the 2027 season, securing a $42 million salary. He forgoes an early opt‑out on his three‑year deal, retaining the ability to leave after ’27 or trigger another $42 million option for the contract’s final year. Bichette posted a league‑average .260/.312/.390 line with 18 homers in 696 plate appearances last season, earning mixed defensive reviews at third base and a WAR ranging from just under one to two, according to FanGraphs and Baseball‑Reference.
The Detroit Red Wings have suspended captain Dylan Larkin without pay after he announced he will sit out until he is traded, a move sparked by his frustration over a stalled deal following Connor Hellebuyck’s move to New Jersey. Larkin, who has logged only 10 games this season (2 goals, 4 assists), was stripped of his ‘C’ earlier this year and now cites his no‑movement clause. Meanwhile, the Edmonton Oilers are reportedly scouting New York Rangers enforcer Matt Rempe, a 6‑ft‑9, 268‑lb forward with 154 career penalty minutes, to add size and toughness to their roster.
Commanders Commanders HC Dan Quinn said it will “likely be tough” for DT Javon Kinlaw (knee) to be available in Week 8, per Nicki Jhabvala. Quinn said OT Laremy Tunsil (triceps) is still a few weeks away from his next check-up, and they’ll have a better sense of his availability afterward, per Jhabvala. Eagles Per […]

The Yankees face a dilemma over Cody Bellinger’s position as they plan for the 2026 offseason. Bellinger, a Gold Glove left‑field finalist who logged 21 Defensive Runs Saved, could move to center field to replace the departing Trent Grisham, but that would sacrifice his elite left‑field defense. With Aaron Judge’s health still uncertain and a need for extra offensive firepower, New York must decide whether to keep Bellinger in left and find another corner outfielder, or shift him to center and add a stronger bat in left. The article stresses weighing defensive cost against potential offensive gain before any moves are made.
The Sixers list only Jaylen Brown as questionable (left knee soreness) on the injury report ahead of their NBA Cup matchup with the New York Knicks, meaning LeBron James and Joel Embiid are cleared to play. Brown logged just 34 minutes in the win over Indiana despite ranking fourth in league minutes. Additional absences include Dominick Barlow (spine), Jabari Walker (patellar tendinopathy), and Tacko Fall (quad). With the game on Amazon Prime and the first Cup night of the season, Philadelphia hopes to field its full starting five against the defending champions.
The Milwaukee Brewers' bullpen dominance should teach the New York Yankees a lesson they already know and help define their offseason priorities.
Dolphins Dolphins RT Kadyn Proctor believes he still has plenty of room for improvement, even though it’s only his first season on a rebuilding team. “I’m nowhere near where I need to be, for sure,” Proctor told reporters, via Dolphins Wire. “But I feel like, in the run game, I’ve always been a mauler. I […]

The Las Vegas Raiders face fresh setbacks as backup right guard Jackson Powers‑Johnson sits out Thursday’s practice with a back injury after a clean workout on Wednesday. His absence opens the door for rookie Trey Zuhn to potentially replace starter Caleb Rogers. Defensive end Patrick Johnson also misses practice with a stinger from the Week 7 loss. Meanwhile, tight end Brock Bowers, DE Kwity Paye and LB Quay Walker return to full participation. The update also notes Jets rookie pass‑rusher David Bailey (groin) and RB Breece Hall (quad) missing practice.
The New England Patriots rolled without TreVeyon Henderson for the New York Jets game over a week ago.

The 2026 Major League Baseball season officially came to an end Wednesday night, with the Milwaukee Brewers capturing their first World Series championship in franchise history after defeating the Tampa Bay Rays in five games. It was a World Series matchup between two small-market clubs that don’t have the financial resources to compete with big spenders like the Dodgers, Yankees, Mets, Cubs, and Red Sox in free agency.
The New York Knicks' financial future has generated plenty of headlines in the early portion of the 2026-27 NBA season, and they are reportedly making a move with an eye on creating more salary cap space down the line.
Isaiah Likely has recorded 41 receptions in the Giants' first seven games, one shy of his career best and matching a rare feat for a rookie tight end. The surge forces defenses to choose between covering Likely or fellow playmaker Malik Nabers, giving New York a versatile offensive match‑up. Coach proposals include rotating Likely in two‑tight‑end sets and using QB J.J. McCarthy’s deep‑throw ability to keep opponents off balance. While the pace hints at a potential franchise record, the Giants must balance the tight‑end threat with the run game and protect the quarterback as they approach tough match‑ups against Philadelphia and Washington.
After two relatively underwhelming seasons, the New York Knicks are reportedly declining third-year guard Pacome Dadiet’s contract option for the 2027-28 season, as per Shams Charania of ESPN. The decision will make Dadiet an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season, although Charania did hint that this does not close the door on […]
The post Knicks planning on declining Pacome Dadiet’s $5.37 million contract option appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Brooklyn Nets have exercised third‑year team options on all five members of their historic 2025 first‑round class—Egor Dëmin, Nolan Traore, Drake Powell, Ben Saraf and Danny Wolf—locking them in for 2027‑28 at a combined $21.72 million, about 12% of the projected $176 million cap. Dëmin (8th overall) posted a rookie‑record 7 threes in a game, while Traore (19th) recently scored 15 points in his first start of the season. The other three have seen limited minutes this year. Retaining these young contracts gives the Nets financial flexibility as they develop their core.
The New York Knicks have declined the fourth‑year $5.37 million option on 2024 first‑round pick Pacome Dadiet, making him an unrestricted free agent in 2027. Dadiet, who is already guaranteed $2.98 million for 2026‑27, has seen limited NBA action—48 games total, averaging 1.6 points and 1.0 rebound in 5.2 minutes. In the G League he posted solid scoring (22.2 PPG last season) but limited playmaking. The move frees cap space for the Knicks ahead of potential options on Josh Hart, Karl‑Anthony Towns and others, though a new deal for Dadiet looks unlikely given his modest production.
The New England Patriots tried to claim former Raiders defensive tackle Jonah Laulu off waivers, but their 7-2 record gave them lower priority than six other teams. The Titans, Dolphins, Texans, Colts, Jets and Titans (who ultimately won the claim) all submitted bids, and the 26‑year‑old was awarded to Tennessee on Wednesday. Laulu, a 2024 seventh‑round pick who logged 39 games and 5.5 sacks for Las Vegas, fell out of the Raiders’ rotation under new coach Klint Kubiak. New England’s interior line, currently featuring Milton Williams and Christian Barmore, remains unchanged as the Patriots head to Miami for a Nov. 1 game.
Anfernee Simons debuts for the Philadelphia 76ers after missing training camp, posting 13 points in a win over the Knicks before sliding to 3‑of‑21 shooting in the next three games. Following a practice‑focused routine, he rebounds with a 20‑point, six‑three performance in a 114‑109 victory at Indiana, becoming only the second bench player since 2025‑26 to hit 20-plus points and six threes in a game. Joel Embiid praises Simons' spacing ability, noting his impact on the team's offensive efficiency. With a player option for 2027‑28, Simons aims to solidify his role as a key perimeter threat for the Sixers.
The Edmonton Oilers may target New York Rangers forward Matt Rempe, a 6’9”, 270‑lb Alberta native, as coach Mike Babcock pushes for more size and grit on the wing. Insider Frank Seravalli says GM Stan Bowman is scouting the 24‑year‑old, who has seen limited ice time this season (6:47 per game) after two thumb surgeries and a recent fight with Jeffrey Viel. Rempe, eligible for waivers, could fetch a mid‑round draft pick, offering the Oilers a physical deterrent to protect stars like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl and add variety to their bottom‑six forwards.
The Indianapolis Colts are demanding a first‑round pick to trade star running back Jonathan Taylor, with the New York Giants among the most vocal suitors. At 27, Taylor is in his prime and under contract through 2028, offering a rare three‑down talent that could instantly elevate a contender. His injury slate includes a 2024 high‑ankle sprain, a 2023 thumb ligament surgery, and prior ankle issues, but he has missed few games. Sources compare his value to the multi‑pick Christian McCaffrey deal, though the Colts insist on a first‑rounder. Other interested clubs include the Packers, Bengals, Vikings and Broncos.
Chris Drury addressed the Rangers needs on defense and on the wing this summer, but he still has work to do at center.
There are still 12 days until the 2026 NFL trade deadline. Yet, three multi-time All-Pros have already been traded in the last three days. Quenton Nelson (Colts to Seahawks), DeForest Buckner (Colts to 49ers), and Jeffery Simmons (Titans to Bears) have each made their way from the AFC South to the NFC. The Colts and ...
