Giants Select Daniel Jones At No. 6 Overall

The New York Giants selected Duke quarterback Daniel Jones at No. 6 overall in the 2019 NFL draft. We knew that the Giants would be looking for Eli Manning's successor in this draft, we just weren't sure that they'd go with a QB with their first of two picks in the first round. Jones is […]

Buccaneers Draft Devin White At No. 5 Overall

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Louisiana State linebacker Devin White with the No. 5 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. The Bucs definitely need help all around on the defensive side of the ball, and White, an inside linebacker, will bring speed and productivity. He led the SEC with 123 tackles in 2018 and […]

Raiders Take Clelin Ferrell At No. 4 Overall

The Oakland Raiders selected Clemson defensive end Clelin Ferrell with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Ferrell clearly has first-round talent, and he's a traditional 3-4 defensive end that should fit well in Oakland's defensive system. Some thought that Josh Allen was the best pure edge rusher in this draft, but […]

Jets Select Quinnen Williams At No. 3 Overall

The New York Jets selected Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. Big Baby, a nose tackle, was considered by many to be the best overall prospect in this draft. He'll be a force to reckon with in the middle in the AFC East and will […]

49ers Go With Nick Bosa Second Overall

The San Francisco 49ers selected Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa with the No. 2 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft.

Cardinals Take Kyler Murray First Overall

The Arizona Cardinals selected Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2019 NFL draft. This was the expected move all along, and the Cardinals finally confirmed it on Thursday evening.

Drew Smyly Expects To Miss One Or Two Starts

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Drew Smyly said his arm was tired from a heavy workload and needed a break. He expects to miss no more than one or two starts. The left-hander hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2016 with the Rays, so it's understable that's he might already be fatigued. It's not a […]

Andrew Heaney Throws Bullpen Wednesday

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Andrew Heaney (elbow) had a successful short bullpen session on Wednesday and will throw another one on Saturday and use all of his pitches, according to manager Brad Ausmus.

Erik Gonzalez Out 10-12 Weeks

Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Erik Gonzalez, who had surgery on Thursday to fix his fractured left clavicle, will return to "full major league baseball activities" in roughly 10 to 12 weeks.

Bills Could Trade Up For Quinnen Williams

If Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray goes to the Cardinals at No. 1 overall and Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa goes at No. 2 to the 49ers, the Buffalo Bills could trade up to No. 3 to select Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, according to rival general managers. The Jets own the third overall pick, […]

He had 65 tackles and three interceptions and […]

Joey Wendle To 10-Day Injured List

The Tampa Bay Rays placed infielder Joey Wendle on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a wrist fracture and called up infielder Christian Arroyo and reliever Austin Pruitt from Triple-A Durham in corresponding moves.

Quinnen Williams An Option At No. 1 Overall

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim reached out to Alabama defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to let him know that he's still a possibility for the team at No. 1 overall, according to a source.

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, the Houston Texans are open to trading linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, who they placed the franchise tag on.

Brandon Morrow Could Resume Throwing In A Few Weeks

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Brandon Morrow (elbow), who is still in a diagnostic stage, could resume throwing in a few weeks. Morrow recently had a setback with his right elbow and has been shut down for the foreseeable future. He missed the entire second half last year and has no timetable for a return. As […]

Addison Russell To Work At Second Base

Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said that shortstop Addison Russell will see repetitions at second base while on his minor league rehab assignment.

Redskins Aren't Serious About Trading Up

The Washington Redskins aren't very serious about trading up in the first round into the top five picks, according to sources. Washington's calls about trading up are "Bruce Allen being Bruce Allen."

Yankees Acquire Cameron Maybin

The New York Yankees acquired outfielder Cameron Maybin from the Indians on Thursday, but it's unclear what they gave up in return.

The Atlanta Falcons have shown a willingness to trade up into the top 10 picks of the first round on Thursday. The Falcons currently own the No. 14 overall pick in the first round, but they are expected to use one or more of their nine draft picks this year to move up, most likely […]

Raiders Like Dwayne Haskins

The Oakland Raiders moved Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins up their draft board late this week, according to a source.

Joc Pederson, Corey Seager, Max Muncy Out Against Lefty

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Joc Pederson, shortstop Corey Seager and first baseman Max Muncy are not in the lineup against Cubs left-handed starter Jon Lester on Thursday.
