Blazers Seeking Massive Return For Damian Lillard

According to Aaron Fentress of The Oregonian, the Blazers are seeking a lot in return for guard Damian Lillard, including roughly four first-round picks and two quality players. While most had expected that acquiring the multi-time All-Star wouldn't come cheap, the asking price is higher than anticipated, considering his age. Lillard finished last season by […]

The San Jose Sharks have signed winger Filip Zadina to a one-year, $1.1 million contract.

Erik van Rooyen Wants To See The Weekend

Erik van Rooyen has languished badly on the PGA Tour this season. The South African golfer has now missed seven straight cuts including last week at the John Deere Classic.

Seamus Power To Try And Continue Momentum

Sahith Theegala Hoping For Better Results This Week

Sahith Theegala has not seen the top 20 since back to back top-10 efforts at The Masters and the RBC Heritage. That ninth and and fifth was probably the high-water mark for the American golfer in 2023. One of his better results was a tie for 27th at the US Open during this seven event […]

Spencer Steer Excelling So Far In 2023

In his first full major-league season so far in 2023, Cincinnati Reds infielder Spencer Steer has made a name for himself. He's been a big part of the reason why the Reds head into this week's All-Star break sitting atop the National League Central division, as he's currently slashing .277/.367/.477 with an .844 OPS, 14 […]

Jonathan India Heads Into All-Star Break Cold

Cincinnati Reds second baseman Jonathan India did hit two home runs on the Fourth of July last week, but he's heading into this week's All-Star break with a .200 average (7-for-35) with three long balls, eight RBI, five runs scored and nine strikeouts in nine games so far in the month of July.

Zac Gallen To Start For NL In All-Star Game

Arizona Diamondbacks right-hander Zac Gallen will get the starting nod for the National League in Tuesday's All-Star game in Seattle, and he'll be opposed by New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole for the American League.

San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto continues to display one of the best eyes at the plate in baseball, as he heads into this week's All-Star break with a National League-leading 83 walks in 396 plate appearances.

Sean Casey To Serve As Yankees' New Hitting Coach

Former Cincinnati Reds first baseman Sean Casey will be the New York Yankees' next hitting coach, according to sources. It's expected that Casey will fill the role for the rest of the season so he can better decide if it's a position that he would like to remain in moving forward. The 49-year-old has been […]

Josh Donaldson Dealing With Lower-Body Injury

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said after Sunday's game against the Chicago Cubs that third baseman Josh Donaldson (calf) has been "a little beat up" since the team's previous road trip, which is why he was serving as the designated hitter the last few days. Boone also said it's part of some "normal wear […]

Gerrit Cole To Start For AL In All-Star Game

New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole has been named the starter for the American League in Tuesday's All-Star game in Seattle. Cole is unlikely to go for more than a few innings after making his last start of the first half of the season on Saturday against the Chicago Cubs, when he went 7 1/3 […]
