Russell Westbrook Returning To Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook has decided to accept his $47.1 million player option for next season. As expected, Westbrook exercised his ridiculous option since he'd never get anything close to that in free agency. His first season in Los Angeles was a disaster, so another reason for Westbrook to stay rather than test […]

Suns Officially Tender Deandre Ayton

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton will be a restricted free agent this summer. As expected, the Suns have officially tendered a $16.4M qualifying offer to Ayton. Despite this, it seems likely that Ayton will head elsewhere this offseason. He wants a max deal and the Suns don't seem to want to offer that high of […]

Pistons Exercise Team Option On Hamidou Diallo

Detroit Pistons guard Hamidou Diallo will be back with the organization next season. As expected, the Pistons have decided to exercise their $5.2 million team option on Diallo. He has been a solid piece for Detroit, so the team wants to keep him around. It'll be interesting to see how they split up the playing […]

Pistons Have Tendered Marvin Bagley III

Detroit Pistons forward Marvin Bagley III will be a restricted free agent this summer. The organization has tendered a $7.2 million qualifying offer to Bagley. As expected, the Pistons aren't going to let Bagley walk away after acquiring him this past deadline. They've started the process or re-signing Bagley, but we'll see what happens. The […]

Josh Okogie Expected To Leave Minnesota

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Josh Okogie is not expected to return with the team next season. The Wolves are unlikely to extend a qualifying offer to Okogie. He averaged 2.7 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 0.5 assists through 49 games last season. That being said, it's not surprising that the Wolves are expected to look elsewhere for […]

Kyrie Irving Sign-And-Trade Seems Likely

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving has received permission from the team to find a sign-and-trade partner. As of right now, the Los Angeles Lakers appear to be the only team interested in Irving via a sign-and-trade. It's unlikely that the Lakers have anything to offer the Nets to pull Irving from them. The All-Star guard […]

Frank Jackson Unlikely To Return To Detroit

Detroit Pistons guard Frank Jackson is unlikely to remain with the organization next season. The Pistons have until Tuesday to decide on the team options with Jackson and Hamidou Diallo. James Edwards of The Athletic believes that the Pistons will keep Diallo, but move on from Jackson. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Pistons […]

Pistons Expected To Keep Hamidou Diallo

Detroit Pistons guard Hamidou Diallo is likely to remain with the team for at least one more season. Diallo was traded to Detroit mid-way through the 2020 campaign. He has played fairly well and is expected to be part of the young core in Detroit. The team option is worth $5.2 million, so very affordable […]

Josh Winder To Start On Tuesday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Josh Winder will be called up to make a start against the Cleveland Guardians on Tuesday. It's uncertain which game Winder will pitch since it is a doubleheader. The 25-year-old has made seven appearances (three starts) with the Twins this season. He has posted a 3.68 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 23/9 […]

Aaron Judge Blasts Walk-Off Homer

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge put the finishing touches on what was an epic comeback victory on Sunday. The Houston Astros no-hit the Yankees on Saturday and held them without a hit through six innings on Sunday. Somehow, the Yankees came back and tied the game at 3-3. Judge crushed a walk-off three-run home […]

Brooks Raley Records Fourth Save

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Brooks Raley fired a scoreless ninth inning during Sunday's victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. He retired the first two batters before issuing a two out walk to Jack Suwinski. The 33-year-old recorded the next out and picked up his fourth save of the season. The Rays are expected to continue […]

Lou Trivino Spins Scoreless Ninth Inning

Oakland Athletics relief pitcher Lou Trivino was asked to take the ball in the ninth inning during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Royals. Trivino tossed a scoreless ninth inning to help hold a two-run lead and record his fourth save of the season. The 30-year-old gave up a pair of hits, but was able […]

Matt Duffy Removed From Sunday's Contest

Los Angeles Angels infielder Matt Duffy (back) was removed early during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The 31-year-old was pulled out of the game due to lower back tightness. It's not exactly clear what happened to Duffy, but the injury is believed to be minor. Andrew Velazquez replaced him in the lineup with Luis […]

Tanner Rainey Fires Scoreless Ninth Inning

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Tanner Rainey tossed a scoreless ninth inning during Sunday's victory over the Texas Rangers. The 29-year-old issued a walk to Josh Smith, but got Marcus Semien to ground out to end the game. This marked his 10th save of the season in 13 opportunities. Rainey has been fairly reliable this season, […]

Mookie Betts Not Cleared For Baseball Activities

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (ribs) has not been cleared for baseball activities yet, according to manager Dave Roberts. The organization was hopeful that Betts would return within two weeks. That timetable is not realistic and fantasy managers should expect Betts to be sidelined until around the All-Star break. This is certainly frustrating for […]

Kendall Graveman Records Third Save

Chicago White Sox relief pitcher Kendall Graveman was able to escape during Sunday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. First baseman Jose Abreu made two errors, which hurt, but luckily the White Sox had a three-run lead. Graveman was able to escape with his third save of the season. This was his first save since Liam […]

Yoan Moncada To Return On Tuesday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (hamstring) is expected to return on Tuesday, according to manager Tony La Russa. This was the expectation, but La Russa reiterated that Moncada is ready to play again. He has been sidelined since June 18 due to a right hamstring strain. The 27-year-old has struggled heavily at the […]

Michael Brantley Exits Early On Sunday

Houston Astros outfielder Michael Brantley (shoulder) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the New York Yankees. The veteran outfielder was pulled due to right shoulder discomfort. The organization hasn't given an update on Brantley, so hopefully he won't be forced to miss significant time. The 35-year-old was hitless in three at-bats before […]

Jesse Winker Among Six Players Ejected On Sunday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker was one of six players that was ejected during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The two team exchanged words after a pitch sailed past the head of Mike Trout on Saturday. Both sides argued on the field, but no punches were thrown. Then, Winker was drilled by a […]

Thunder Likely To Trade JaMychal Green

Oklahoma City Thunder forward JaMychal Green is expected to be moved before the beginning of next season. The veteran forward was traded from the Denver Nuggets to the Thunder on draft day. Thunder general manager Sam Presti mentioned that the Thunder are going to try and find a new team for Green. The 32-year-old is […]

Thunder Plan To Exercise Team Option On Luguentz Dort

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Luguentz Dort should be back with the organization next season. General manager Sam Presti mentioned that the Thunder plan to exercise Dort's 2022-2023 team option. Dort is set to be a free agent next offseason, so the two sides are likely to talk an extension soon. The Thunder have been impressed […]

Josh Hart Returning To Portland

Portland Trail Blazers forward Josh Hart will be returning for at least one more season. This wasn't a hard call for the organization with Hart only owed $12.9 million for the 2022-2023 campaign. Hart also has a mutual option for the following season, which means he could be in Portland for the next two years. […]

Cam Reddish Could Become Cap Casualty

New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish could be on the move this offseason. He appeared in only 15 games for the Knicks after his trade from Atlanta. There's a good chance that the Knicks attempt to trade Reddish this offseason. He is set nearly $6 million and New York wants to create cap space for […]

Jalen Brunson Could Join The Knicks

Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson could be headed elsewhere this offseason. He put together a career season and was a big part of why the Mavericks made it to the Western Conference Finals. That being said, there should be plenty of interest in Brunson this summer. He's an unrestricted free agent, which isn't great for […]

Spurs Bring Back Zach Collins

San Antonio Spurs forward Zach Collins will be around for at least one more season. The organization has decided to guarantee his $7.35 million contract for 2022. Collins put together some nice games towards the end of the season. However, he hasn't been able to play a full season since the 2018-2019 campaign. Also, Jakob […]

Wizards Showing Interest In Tyus Jones

Memphis Grizzlies guard Tyus Jones could be changing teams this offseason. The Washington Wizards reportedly have interest in signing Jones this summer. He has proven to be a capable point guard, so there should be plenty of interest for Jones in free agency. In 23 games without Ja Morant last season, Jones averaged 12.7 points […]

Lonzo Ball Is Finally Making Progress

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) has been making good progress during his rehab program, according to Bulls general manager Marc Eversley. Finally, there is some good news on Ball after he missed the final three months of last season. There have been multiple reports that Ball wasn't improving, but it appears he's making progress […]

Brandon Woodruff Looks Strong During Rehab Start

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff (ankle, finger) looked sharp during his rehab outing with High-A Wisconsin on Thursday. The right-hander went five innings, two hits allowed, one walk, and struck out seven batters. Woodruff gave up a solo home run, but was strong outside of that. It's unclear if the Brewers plan on having […]

Corey Dickerson Continues Dealing With Pain

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Corey Dickerson (calf) has been sidelined roughly three weeks and doesn't appear to be close to returning. He played the outfield for the first time during his rehab assignment on Wednesday. However, Dickerson sat out on Thursday due to lingering soreness in his calf. The Cardinals are likely to want Dickerson […]

Cole Hamels No Longer Plans To Pitch In 2022

Free-agent starting pitcher Cole Hamels has decided to end his comeback hopes for the 2022 season. The veteran lefty underwent shoulder surgery last November. Afterwards, Hamels attempted to join a team, but no organization was interested enough to give him a deal. Despite that, Hamels wants to pitch again and will attempt to make a […]
