Orioles could face tough task in replacing Trevor Rogers
As free agency opens, the Orioles face a dilemma over left‑hander Trevor Rogers, whose qualifying offer expires Nov. 17.

Interest swirls from the Blue Jays, Cubs, Giants, White Sox, Mets, Braves, Twins and Padres, while Baltimore has offered only a qualifying deal. With a thin market, the Orioles must act fast to replace his 1.123 WHIP and low walk rates.

Game Preview: Knicks vs. Bulls, November 4, 2026
Mike Brown’s Knicks head into the November 4 showdown with the Chicago Bulls aware of how dangerous a complacent mindset can be. The Bulls sit at a league‑worst 1‑6, enduring losses by 19, 35 and 43 points and allowing 128.8 points per game while shooting nearly 40% from deep. Rookie Caleb Wilson, the No. 4 pick, shows flashes of elite athleticism but remains inefficient, and other young pieces like Josh Giddey and Matas Buzelis have slipped early. With veteran Norman Powell yet to find his footing, the Knicks aim to exploit Chicago’s defensive woes at MSG.
Devils Take Down Connor McDavid and the Oilers 4-3 in the Shootout
The New Jersey Devils edged the Edmonton Oilers 4‑3 in a November 3 shootout at the Prudential Center, snapping the Oilers’ dominance. After falling behind 1‑0 in the first period, the Devils surged with a double‑power‑play burst in the second, highlighted by Connor Brown’s goals and Jack Hughes’ one‑timer, taking a 3‑1 lead. Edmonton rallied, tying it before the game headed to overtime, where New Jersey clinched victory in the shootout. Key performers included Jesper Bratt’s four shots, Jack Hughes’ scoring, and goalie Connor Hellebuyck’s steady play.
Hornets’ Kon Knueppel probable for season debut against Nets
The Charlotte Hornets list rookie sharpshooter Kon Knueppel as probable for his season debut against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, ending an eight‑game stint on the injured list with a left hamstring strain. Knueppel, who led the NBA with 273 made threes as a rookie and averaged 18.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists last season, could boost a Hornets offense that sits last in rating (3‑5 record). His return also eases the load on hot‑handed Brandon Miller (23.5 ppg, 37.8% shooting) and pairs with the recently cleared Coby White, giving coach Charles Lee more weapons.
Watch Oilers’ Connor McDavid unleash filthy shootout goal against Connor Hellebuyck
Connor McDavid keeps his historic season rolling, delivering a slick shootout winner over New Jersey’s Connor Hellebuyck despite the Oilers’ 4‑3 loss in overtime at the Prudential Center on Nov. 4, 2026. The captain extended his NHL‑record 16‑game assist streak, now at 33 assists and 42 points, becoming the first player to reach 30 assists in his team’s first 15 games and joining Lemieux, Gretzky and Malone as the fourth to hit 40 points in 16 games or fewer. Leon Draisaitl praised the road swing, though the Oilers fell short of a perfect six‑point haul.
Yankees news: Skubal linked to Yanks
The Yankees are reportedly weighing a blockbuster move for two‑time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, the top free‑agent pitcher on the market, which could force them to trade away other starters. While the Dodgers and Mets lead the chase, clubs like the Angels, White Sox and Padres linger as dark‑horse options. Meanwhile, Brewers manager Pat Murphy apologised after a hot‑mic jab at New York sparked controversy, and the Yankees have moved on from Jazz Chisholm Jr., who did not receive a qualifying offer after a mixed season. The article rounds up the key free‑agency targets and lingering drama ahead of the offseason.
Rick Tocchet wasn’t happy with Trevor Zegras’ latest costly mistake
The Flyers fell 4-1 to the Minnesota Wild on Nov. 4, 2026, after early goals from Matt Boldy and Michael McCarron gave Minnesota a 2-0 lead. Trevor Zegras drew a 10‑minute misconduct for tapping the ice after a goal, a penalty coach Rick Tocchet called “showing the ref up.” Zegras accepted blame, but the Flyers still couldn’t recover, surrendering a third goal and later an empty‑net tally following a botched goalie pull. The loss leaves Philadelphia heading into a five‑game road swing starting at the Rangers, with hopes the trip will spark a turnaround.
Why Dodgers, Padres must consider Jazz Chisholm Jr. free agency pursuit
Jazz Chisholm Jr. heads to free agency after a down year with the Yankees, posting a .711 OPS and 19 homers in 2026 versus .813 OPS and 31 homers in 2025, but still delivering 3.5 fWAR thanks to elite defense and a career‑high 41 stolen bases. The Yankees declined a $23.15 million qualifying offer, opening the market to the Dodgers, Padres, Astros and Mets, who could lock him up on a three‑ to four‑year, $90‑110 million deal. The Dodgers might favor a right‑handed bat over Chisholm’s lefty swing, yet his speed and range could boost their defense. The Padres see him as a clear upgrade over aging second‑baseman Jake Cronenworth, whose 2026 OPS fell to .629. Both clubs could benefit from Chisholm’s upside despite his recent offensive dip.
Special Rangers PK among key takeaways from 3-1 win over Blues to end skid
The New York Rangers snapped a four‑game losing streak with a 3‑1 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Nov. 4, 2026, thanks to a flawless penalty kill. New York went 6‑for‑6 short‑handed, a league‑best 89.1% success rate, stifling a Blues power play ranked 10th in the NHL. Rookie goalie Dylan Garand rebounded from a recent loss, posting a season‑high 32 saves and earning First Star honors. Adam Fox opened the scoring, followed by goals from Oliver Bjorkstrand and Eeli Tolvanen, while the Blues tallied a late consolation. Despite going 0‑for‑3 on the power play, the Rangers’ special teams and defensive effort were the night’s headline.

Will Cuylle makes his first career start at centre, adding an assist on Oliver Bjorkstrand’s third‑period tally. The Rangers’ penalty kill, ranked third in the league, neutralizes six Blues power plays, and the win lifts New York to 7‑2‑0 at home and third place in the Metropolitan Division.
Instant Reaction: Oilers close road trip with shootout loss to Devils

Edmonton jumps ahead 1‑0 early on an Evan Bouchard one‑timer from Mattias Ekholm, but Connor Brown’s power‑play goal ties it before Jack Hughes scores twice late in the second to give New Jersey a 3‑1 lead.

McDavid extends his point‑and‑assist streak to 16 games, Kapanen adds two power‑play assists, and Jarry posts a .912 save percentage despite being out‑shot heavily in the second period.
Brewers Manager Pat Murphy Says He Called Yankees GM Brian Cashman to Explain His Viral Comment
Brewers manager Pat Murphy admits his off‑hand jab at the Yankees during the World Series celebration went viral, prompting him to call Yankees GM Brian Cashman to apologize. Murphy clarified he meant to reference the "high‑paid" Yankees of the 2023‑24 era—not a personal attack on New York—citing Jake Bauers' former stint with the club. He expressed regret, saying the comment was unnecessary and “not smart.” The incident was highlighted by closer Trevor Megill on The Pat McAfee Show, while the article recaps the Yankees' 2023 struggles and their 2026 postseason sweep by Milwaukee, underscoring the contrast between the two teams' approaches.
