1 day ago | yardbarker.com | Patrick McAvoy

It sounds like one former member of the Milwaukee Brewers has found a new home. Former Brewers starter Wade Miley signed a minor league deal with the Cincinnati Reds in January but opted out of his deal on June 1st. He wasn't a free agent for long, though, as he is re-signing with the Reds on a big league deal, as shared by MLB Trade Rumors' Steve Adams. "The Reds announced Wednesday that they’ve signed left-hander Wade Miley to a one-year, major league contract," Adams said.

The New York Jets have had some questions at the safety position over the last few years but they may have found solutions. New York signed veteran safety Andre Cisco in free agency. He's expected to play a big role for New York in 2025, but he isn't the only guy the team has added this offseason so far. The Jets also took Malachi Moore in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft and there's already some high hopes around him.

The Philadelphia Eagles' defense is loaded with exciting, young talent. Philadelphia has built the majority of its defense through the NFL Draft and one guy who took his game to another level in 2024 under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio was linebacker Nolan Smith. As a rookie in 2023, he was more of a role player. He saw time in all 17 regular season games, but didn't start a game and finished the campaign with one sack and 18 total tackles.

The St. Louis Cardinals have a tough month ahead and are going to have to navigate the starting rotation. There isn’t much time off this month, so the Cardinals are going to have to find a way to get through while keeping their starters healthy. When the Cardinals are in a similar situation earlier in the season, they shifted Steven Matz from the bullpen to the rotation. That certainly is possible this month as well.

The Milwaukee Brewers had another scare on Tuesday night. Two-time All-Star Brandon Woodruff has been rehabbing in the minor leagues as he has been working his way back to the big leagues.

The Boston Red Sox and Kansas City Royals have been talked about a lot recently. The reason for this hasn’t been about the play on the field at the big league level, but instead the fact that these clubs have two of the most exciting prospects in baseball right now. Boston has outfielder Roman Anthony and the Royals have slugger Jac Caglianone. ESPN’s Jeff Passan even recently shared a whole column with the subject being when Anthony and Caglianone would get the call-up to the big leagues.

The New Orleans Saints had Derek Carr under center for the last two years. The stint wasn't all bad, but surprisingly came to an end this offseason with Carr announcing his retirement. There were plenty of rumors early on shortly after the Super Bowl about the potential of Carr being traded or cut. Reports even surfaced that Carr showed a willingness to be moved. But, the Saints opted to keep him until he announced his retirement.

One former member of the Philadelphia Eagles opened up about his time with the organization. Former Eagles receiver, Golden Tate, spent just eight regular season games with the franchise in 2018 and yet that was enough for him to say that it was the "most dysfunctional locker room" he was a part of in his 11-year NFL career on "Bussin' With The Boys.""The most dysfunctional locker room for me was the Philadelphia Eagles," Tate said. "The most dysfunctional place.

It’s been an odd couple of years for the New Orleans Saints but, the Derek Carr era right now officially is over. Derek Carr signed a four-year, $150 million deal with New Orleans ahead of the 2023 season. The first year in New Orleans wasn't too crazy. He started all 17 games for the Saints and the team went 9-8. Carr threw 25 touchdown passes to just eight interceptions over that stretch.
Jets Have Game-Changer In Justin Fields: ‘Sky Is The Limit’

The New York Jets have a new quarterback and he has completely turned heads in camp already. Justin Fields already has a bigger opportunity than he had any point last year with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He did start six games with the Steelers, but that was because Russell Wilson got hurt. There was some chatter about a potential quarterback competition in Pittsburgh last year, but that didn’t really shake out.
