Cristhian Vaquero To Spend 2022 Season In Dominican

Washington Nationals outfielder Cristhian Vaquero is likely to spend the 2022 season in the team's Dominican Republic academy. The 17-year-old prospect is the second-ranked international prospect in the signing class, according to MLB Pipeline. Vaquero received a franchise-record $4.925 million signing bonus a month ago. The switch-hitting Cuban prospect projects as a potential five-category impact […]

Mets Expected To Have Interest In Yusei Kikuchi

Free-agent starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi is likely to have multiple suitors this offseason. However, it appears the New York Mets have strong interest in the veteran left-handed starter. In 29 starts, Kikuchi registered a 4.41 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 162/62 K/BB ratio over 157 innings with the Seattle Mariners in 2021. Those stats don't look […]

Martin Truex Jr. Loves High-Wear Tracks Like Fontana

Martin Truex Jr. starts 12th on Sunday from the Auto Club Speedway at Fontana. The No. 19 car has won this race before in 2018. Truex Jr. is in a good position once again. 2019 and 2020 saw him start from the back of the field which made it hard for him to make up […]

Tyler Reddick was the fastest in Practice Session B on Saturday but could not make it to the final round of qualifying. As a result, he starts 11th for the Wise Power 400. Reddick finished 11th in his only race on the track in 2020 at the top level. What could he do on the […]

MLB Still Not Close To Deal

The second meeting between the MLB and the MLBPA didn't go well on Saturday. The players presented a "comprehensive offer" after the first meeting of the day. The MLB reacted badly to the offer, which in turn outraged and frustrated the MLBPA. The players moved the CBT by two million in years 2-4. Also, offered […]

Chase Elliott Rounds Out Top 10 At Fontana

Chase Elliott finished just behind fellow Hendricks driver William Byron Jr. on Saturday. That resulted in qualifying tenth for the Wise Power 400.

Brad Keselowski Begins Eighth At Wise Power 400

Brad Keselowski may be a marked man after last week's Daytona 500, where there were several incidents. However, this week he qualified in the eighth position for the Wise Power 400. The RFK Racing driver had back-to-back top-10 results in 2019 and 2020 on this two-mile oval. He won the race in 2015 and has […]

Joey Logano Brushes Wall, Qualifies Seventh At Fontana

Joey Logano had an interesting time on Saturday as he brushed the wall a little but still wound up seventh in qualifying. Starting inside Row 4 will not be so bad for the Ford No. 22. This is not like 2020 where, he finished 12th. Before that, Logano had five straight top-five results including a […]

Ryan Blaney Starts Sixth At Fontana On Sunday

Ryan Blaney will start from the sixth position at the Wise Power 400 on Sunday. The Team Penske Ford almost pulled off a win at Daytona last week and could have some success again this weekend in Southern California. Blaney had one misleading result but three top-10 finishes before that. In 2020, the No. 12 […]

Daniel Hemric Qualifies Fifth For Wise Power 400

Daniel Hemric was the second Chevy to qualify in the top-five for the Wise Power 400 on Sunday.

He wound up just 0.359 […]

Denny Hamlin Thriving At Fontana Ahead Of Sunday's Race

Denny Hamlin started the weekend well at practice. He topped all drivers and then consolidated that result by qualifying fourth for Sunday's Wise Power 400. Hamlin finished 0.303 seconds behind Austin Cindric for the pole. The No. 11 car has looked very fast much like his teammate, Kyle Busch. Now, Hamlin has never won this […]

Kyle Busch A Favorite For The Wise Power 400

Kyle Busch qualified third for Sunday afternoon's race at Fontana just 0.211 seconds behind Austin Cindric. The younger Busch has excelled on the two-mile track in past years. He has seven top-three results in his last nine races. The high-wear course favors the Joe Gibbs Racing driver. Even two years ago, Busch battled his way […]

Erik Jones Qualifies In Second At Fontana

Erik Jones nearly won the pole for the Wise Power 400 on Sunday. He came up just 0.116 seconds short of the pole winner, Austin Cindric. Jones has a little bit of success at the Southern California track. He does have a top-ten result in his last two races on the two-mile d-shaped oval. While […]

Austin Cindric Takes Pole For Wise Power 400

Austin Cindric backed up his Daytona 500 win by taking the pole position for Sunday afternoon's race at Fontana. The 200-lap race could unfold much differently, but for Cindric to win the pole is significant. He is the only Ford in the top-five cars. That is somewhat surprising. Cindric held off Erik Jones by just […]

Jakob Poeltl Won't Play Saturday

San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Spurs will rest some of their starters.

Josh Richardson Tagged As Questionable For Saturday

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat.

Also, Joshua Primo […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Miss Saturday's Game

In the meantime, Daniel Gafford and Thomas […]

Tomas Satoransky Agrees To Buyout With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs guard Tomas Satoransky has agreed to a buyout with the organization.

That being said, Satoransky is leaving San Antonio and is expected to sign with the Washington Wizards. His best […]

Fred Vanvleet Uncertain For Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. It's the same knee issue that kept him sidelined before the All-Star break. Although, Vanvleet returned on Friday, but looked at less than 100 percent during that contest. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors rest Vanvleet […]

Dejounte Murray Won't Play Versus Heat

San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. It's the second game of the back-to-back set, so the Spurs are being cautious here.

Keldon Johnson Ruled Out On Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He'll join teammates Dejounte Murray (knee) and Jakob Poeltl (back) on the sideline for Saturday's contest. Devin Vassell and Lonnie Walker IV are looking like solid streaming options with the Spurs banged up. Both should see heavy […]

Jacksonville Builds Support For Trevor Lawrence’s Development

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence's progress during his second professional season is undoubtedly the team's quickest path to contention in 2022. Already equipped with new head coach Doug Peterson, Lawrence will have even more experienced voices overseeing his development: Press Taylor (offensive coordinator), Mike McCoy (quarterbacks coach), and Bob Cooter (passing game coordinator). "He's eager […]

Jonathan Hernandez Back On A Mound

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jonathan Hernandez (elbow) threw off a mound on Friday for the first time since having Tommy John surgery last April.
