Bailey Ober Grinds Through A 5-2 Win At Wrigley
Chicago – Bailey Ober didn’t look like he was going to have the start he wanted in the first two innings of the second half. The Chicago Cubs battery went 3-for-7 with two walks and a run scored, while Ober only struck out Alex Bregman. But the second time through, Ober was as sharp as he’s been all year.
Is Matthew Golden Actually Facing Pressure Next Season?
As the first wide receiver the Green Bay Packers selected in the first round since 2002, Matthew Golden entered the league with plenty of expectations.
The Vikings’ RB3 Battle Is An Overlooked Preseason Storyline
As we see a light at the end of the offseason tunnel, and we can almost hear the popping of pads — not to mention reckless offseason storylines — it’s worth reorienting ourselves. Much of the preseason can often feel like a mirage. It can be difficult to sort through the training-camp nuggets and messy context of preseason football to determine fact from fiction.
3 Dark Horse Twins Trade Candidates
As the August 3 trade deadline approaches, a sizable number of American League teams find themselves scrambling to determine if they should be buyers, sellers, spectators, or somewhere in between. After a major sell-off last summer and few meaningful offseason additions, many probably pegged the Twins to be clear sellers again this year.
Buxton Is Ramping Up Baseball Activities, Still Day-To-Day
Chicago – Byron Buxton was feeling good overall at Wrigley Field after a pre-game workout on the field Friday afternoon, save for the lingering wildfire smoke hanging over the Windy City. “Yeah, it’s not fun,” Buxton said, “but got the job done.
The Packers Haven’t Earned Leaguewide Respect
While we’re inching closer to seeing the 2026 Green Bay Packers take the field for the first time, it’s still lists-and-rankings season: The NFL top 100, Jeremy Fowler’s execs, coaches, and scouts survey, Fantasy Rankings, PFF’s QB rankings, along with endless other position and power rankings.
What Does Skyy Moore Have To Do To Make Green Bay’s Roster?
The Green Bay Packers slimmed down their wide receiving coterie this offseason, while adding Skyy Moore. By allowing Romeo Doubs to sign with the New England Patriots and by trading Dontayvion Wicks, the Packers solidified their vision of Jordan Love‘s primary armada: Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Matthew Golden.
J.J. McCarthy Has Become the New Kirk Cousins
The span between minicamp and training camp is a trying time for football fans. The lack of action turns social media into more of a wasteland than it already was, with fans looking to gain an early advantage for their preseason debates. Chief among them is whether Kyler Murray will usurp J.J. McCarthy as the Minnesota Vikings’ starting quarterback.
LaMelo Ball Is Bringing Showtime To Minnesota
The Los Angeles Lakers are forever intertwined in the history of basketball in Minnesota. The Lakers were founded in Minneapolis and spent the first 12 years of the franchise’s existence in the Twin Cities. The first five of the Lakers’ championship banners that hang in the rafters of Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles were won in the Minneapolis Auditorium.
Could the Packers Move On From Josh Jacobs After 2026?
Considering his age, contract situation, salary-cap implications, and the off-field issues surrounding Josh Jacobs, it’s not far-fetched to think he could be entering his final season in Green Bay. Running backs frequently experience rapid decline as they approach age 30.
What Is Ivan Pace Jr. Playing For In 2026?
Ivan Pace Jr.’s situation with the Minnesota Vikings has been sticky, to say the least. Ivan Pace broke out in 2023, regressed in 2024, and ultimately lost his spot last year. Therefore, 2026 has become a pivotal year for him. In his time with the Vikings, he has shown he’s good enough to play in the NFL.
The Twins Will Play A Rare Friday Night Game In Wrigleyville
Perhaps, when you heard the Minnesota Twins get to start their stretch run at Wrigley Field in Chicago, you took Friday afternoon off. The team looks pretty good, you thought. And it’s been a while since the Minnesota nine took a few turns at the Friendly Confines.
Is Tucker Kraft Being Overlooked By the National Media?
Last year, the Green Bay Packers anxiously awaited the return of Christian Watson, one of Jordan Love‘s top weapons who had suffered a torn ACL the year prior. Fast forward to this offseason, and the Packers are in a similar situation with Tucker Kraft.
Does Zavier Scott Have A Role On the 2026 Vikings?
Running back Zavier Scott was one of the most surprising breakout players from last year’s squad. After spending time on the practice squad in 2024, Scott earned an active roster spot in 2025 following a strong preseason showing. He accumulated over 200 all-purpose yards in a reserve role behind Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones last season.
The Isaiah McDuffie Extension Is A Great Insurance Policy For the Packers
In a move that won’t inspire a ton of buzz, the Green Bay Packers quietly tacked on another year to linebacker Isaiah McDuffie‘s contract. The extension will keep McDuffie in Green Bay through the 2027 season. While it won’t chew up a ton of headlines, the McDuffie extension is a great insurance policy. Green Bay is in a peculiar spot at linebacker.
Myles Price Could Be A Surprise Cut For the Vikings
Every year there’s a surprise cut when it comes time to trim the roster down to the final 53. From preseason heroes to fan-favorite veterans, sometimes the math just isn’t mathing to keep everyone. For the 2026 Minnesota Vikings, they may have to set Myles Price free, even though he was one of the few bright spots from last season.
Guard Play Is the Biggest Unknown On Green Bay’s Offensive Line
The faces on the Green Bay Packers’ offensive line in 2026 will be familiar. Still, the team has done some shuffling, based on the moving parts we can see. When training camp gets rolling in late July, the one big question will be at guard among the big boys up front.
The Vikings Need To Fix One Nagging Nightmare Stat In 2026
Love them or hate them, the Philadelphia Eagles have a lot they can teach the Minnesota Vikings. While their offense still has flaws, the one thing you can be sure of is that the Eagles will somehow, some way, find the end zone. Between the 20-yard lines, Kevin O’Connell is something of an offensive scientist himself. However, he consistently falls short in the red zone.
The Twins Are Finding Another Way to Win The Griffin Jax Trade
The Minnesota Twins were a team on edge at this time last year. They were on the verge of falling out of contention, fearing the worst ahead of the trade deadline at the end of the month. Those concerns became valid when Minnesota traded 10 players off the 40-man roster. Those deals have had varying degrees of success.
Nathan Bubes Unexpected Journey To Coaching the Wolves Summer League Team
Summer League is an opportunity for top picks to play their first organized basketball with their new teams, and for players to showcase their talents in hopes of making an NBA roster. It’s also a place where coaches can get valuable reps leading a team. The Minnesota Timberwolves have used Summer League as just that for their staff, especially under Tim Connelly.
What Does A Good Season Look Like For Matt LaFleur?
The discourse surrounding Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur this offseason has been wild, especially because the last time we saw his team on the field, they blew a 21-3 lead and allowed 25 fourth-quarter points in a 31-27 Wild Card loss to the Chicago Bears.
Is Watson’s Extension A Blueprint For Devonte Wyatt’s Next Contract?
Devonte Wyatt got lost among all the Green Bay Packers’ devastating season-ending injuries last year. All of the chatter focused on the losses of Micah Parsons and Tucker Kraft, but Wyatt was critical in his own right.
Did the Twins Discover How To Use Andrew Morris Just In Time?
The Minnesota Twins are one game below .500 at the All-Star break, and Andrew Morris has been a meaningful contributor to their recent success. Minnesota’s hitting has made the team the top-scoring team in the American League. But Morris’s adaptability and consistency have helped lead this team, which is 8-2 in their last 10 series.
What Does Isaiah McDuffie’s Extension Mean for Ty’Ron Hopper?
On Monday, the Green Bay Packers announced they had reached an agreement with linebacker Isaiah McDuffie on a two-year contract extension worth $8.8 million, with an additional $1 million available through playing-time incentives.
