There was pessimism at the start of the offseason that the Philadelphia Phillies could re-sign both catcher J.T.

It's mid-January and the free-agent markets for both players haven't developed the way they'd hoped back in November. The Mets signed James […]

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Allen Lazard (core, wrist) and Equanimeous St. Brown (ankle, knee) and linebacker Za'Darius Smith (ankle, thumb) were all limited in practice on Tuesday.

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Stefon Diggs (oblique) and Cole Beasley (knee), linebacker Tremaine Edmunds (hamstring) and defensive tackle Ed Oliver (ankle) were all limited in practice on Tuesday.

Dominic Smith Not An Option In Left Field

New York Mets president Sandy Alderson made it clear that he's not comfortable with Dominic Smith as a left fielder.
