Luis Arraez Sitting Out Again

49ers Not Getting Calls On Trey Lance

NBC Sports' Peter King puts the chances of the San Francisco 49ers trading quarterback Trey Lance at 7.86 percent.

And for what it's worth, general manager John Lynch […]

The Cincinnati Reds designated infielder Jason Vosler for assignment on Monday and selected the contract of outfielder Henry Ramos from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move.

The Toronto Blue Jays are expected to call up right-hander Nate Pearson from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday ahead of their game against the Chicago White Sox, according to a source.

The Chicago White Sox placed starting pitcher Lucas Giolito on the bereavement list on Monday and reinstated right-hander Joe Kelly (groin) from the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

C.J. Stroud Could Fall To Lions At No. 6

The Detroit Lions could surprisingly be in the quarterback market in this year's draft, and it's unlikely that Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud would fall past the Lions at No. 6 overall if he falls out of the top-five picks on Thursday night. Stroud is a younger and cheaper version of Jared Goff with better […]

Seahawks Expected To Take Quarterback In First Round

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay has a strong sense that the Seattle Seahawks won't leave Round 1 of this week's draft without a quarterback. McShay thinks Seattle could be targeting Ohio State's C.J.

Will Levis-Colts Rumors Are Very Real

The buzz surrounding the Indianapolis Colts and University of Kentucky quarterback Will Levis is very real.

The next question is whether the Colts […]

Cardinals Want Offensive-Line Reinforcements

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay keeps hearing the Arizona Cardinals want to improve their offensive line to better protect quarterback Kyler Murray. The Cardinals are also borderline desperate to trade out of the No. 3 spot, and they could slide back to take Northwestern's Peter Skoronski, who could be available at No. 11 overall. If […]

Texans To Pass On C.J. Stroud At No. 2 Overall?

ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay keeps hearing from people around the league that the Houston Texans will not take Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud at No. 2 overall this Thursday night.

Giants Giving No Indications Of An Extension For Adoree' Jackson

There have been no indications that the New York Giants want to extend cornerback Adoree' Jackson as he enters the final year of his contract in 2023. The G-Men seem content to let him play out this season and then reassess. Jackson recently signed a three-year, $39 million deal with the Giants in 2021, but […]

Parris Campbell Could Move To Outside Receiver

New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell, who was in the slot for 77 percent of his offensive snaps with the Indianapolis Colts last season, is the most likely to play outside receiver more in 2023 in his first year with the Giants. Wan'Dale Robinson is a slot-only player, while Sterling Shepard can play inside […]
