1 day ago | clutchpoints.com | Russell Steinberg |Nish Patel

The Texas Rangers endured a scary moment on Monday night when their closer, Luke Jackson, took a 111 mile-per-hour come-backer off his hand in the ninth inning of a game against the Colorado Rockies. The Rangers won the game, 2-1, but manager Bruce Bochy said there was cause for concern about Jackson. “We'll see how he responds.
Why Sabrina Ionescu 'always dreamed' of playing one more game at Oregon

1 day ago | clutchpoints.com | Russell Steinberg |Nish Patel

The New York Liberty’s 84-61 win over the Toyota Antelopes on Monday night was a mere sidebar to the main event: Sabrina Ionescu’s return to Oregon. The homecoming game for Ionescu and teammate Nyara Sabally was one of several around the league meant to celebrate WNBA stars in the markets they once called home. But for Ionescu, it held a little extra weight. During her senior season, Oregon was arguably the best team in the country and had a real chance to win its first-ever national championship.

Angel Reese attempted 16 three-pointers for the Chicago Sky as a rookie, and heading into year two, you shouldn't expect her to suddenly be a real threat from long-range. Probably.
Rafael Devers situation hit with sobering take from Whit Merrifield

The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal is more on Devers’ side of the debate. He argues that the Red Sox were well within their right to ask Devers to move to DH in favor of a better third baseman. But the team is paying him to hit, and asking him to learn a new position on the fly isn’t fair when his value comes almost entirely at the plate.
Rafael Devers situation hit with sobering take from Whit Merrifield

2 days ago | clutchpoints.com | Russell Steinberg |Nish Patel

As the Rafael Devers saga continues in Boston, Kansas City Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield has weighed in on the Red Sox slugger's predicament. The Red Sox bumped Devers from third base to DH this season when the team acquired Alex Bregman, something their star wasn't thrilled about as he entered year two of a 10-year, $313.5 million contract. Now, with first baseman Triston Casas out for the season, Devers is refusing to play first — a spot he has never played in his Major League career.

2 days ago | clutchpoints.com | Russell Steinberg |Nish Patel

Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is the National League player of the week after he hit .500 between May 5 and 11 with 3 home runs, 7 runs scored, 12 RBI and a 1.500 OPS. It's the 10th player of the week honor of Freeman's career and his first of 2025. The reigning World Series MVP is now hitting a National League-best .376 with nine home runs. He also leads the league in slugging percentage (.734), OPS (1.170) and OPS+ (228), though he doesn't yet have enough at bats to qualify.
2 trade candidates to help Blue Jays build roster around Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

2 days ago | yardbarker.com | Russell Steinberg

The Toronto Blue Jays made a statement when they signed Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to a 14-year, $500 million contract extension. The team expects to contend, and it expects to contend for a long time. The problem is you can’t win multiple World Series on the back of one player and the Blue Jays aren’t exactly stacked down on the farm; MLB.com ranked the Blue Jays’ farm system the 27th best out of 30 teams going into the season.

Alex Rodriguez shuts down Shohei Ohtani GOAT talk with 1 name

2 days ago | yardbarker.com | Russell Steinberg

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani seems to do something absurd every time he steps on the field, but Alex Rodriguez isn’t ready to throw the GOAT moniker his way just yet. When Zach Gelb of The Zach Gelb Show asked A-Rod point-blank if Ohtani is the best player he’s ever seen, the former New York Yankee had another name in mind.

Comenzaron las declaraciones de apertura en el juicio por tráfico sexual de Sean ‘Diddy' Combs, y los argumentos de ambas partes revelaron que las acusaciones hechas por Cassie y una Jane Doe no identificada, serán el punto principal del juicio. "Este es Sean Combs", comenzó la asistente del Fiscal de los Estados Unidos Emily Johnson el lunes 12 de mayo, después de que se finalizara el jurado. "Pero hay otro lado de él. Un lado que dirigía una empresa criminal… pero no lo hacía solo".
