It's rare for a shortstop of Francisco Lindor's caliber to be on the trade market, but that's exactly the case with the Mets, who are already in full sell-off mode.
But despite “Mr. Smile” being available, the New York Yankees don't seem to be in the running—or in any other race—to acquire the services of a player at the number six position.
That means the Bombers will have to find solutions from within the organization. And that clearly can't be Anthony Volpe.
In fact, f

With the new massive contracts being handed out to young NHL stars, many fans are wondering just how high the salaries of the top players in the Bettman-led league can go.
Leo Carlsson's deal with the Anaheim Ducks and Connor Bedard's contract with the Chicago Blackhawks are generating a lot of buzz, but history shows that some players have already accounted for an even larger share of their team's payroll.
With an average annual salary of $18 million, Leo Carlsson currently accounts for 17.31%

The Montreal Canadiens need a few key pieces to become even more competitive in the playoffs.
Obviously, there's the much-discussed need for a second-line center and/or a top-6 winger to form a very strong second line, but the team also lacks grit and physicality on the bottom six.
A few names were floated this summer, but Kent Hughes decided to maintain the status quo after seeing the massive contracts handed out to several players.
We can therefore assume that Hughes is banking on reinforcemen

Yesterday, Toronto was in a festive mood. The Blue Jays, who beat the White Sox, paid special tribute to the team's 1992 and 1993 squads.
Several players were in town for the occasion.
The highlight of the event was when the Blue Jays unveiled a massive 15-foot statue of Joe Carter and his famous moment.
So it was a great day for Blue Jays fans.

Yesterday, Connor Bedard finally signed with the Chicago Blackhawks after his NHL entry-level contract had just expired.
At first glance, $15 million a year seems like a lot, but in reality, it could quickly turn out to be a steal.
As we all know, thanks to a hostile offer, Leo Carlsson signed a five-year deal worth $18 million a year.
It's easy to compare Bedard's and Carlsson's situations because they were drafted first and second, respectively, in the 2023 draft, and they both made their NHL

Am I the only one who thought that by mid-July, the issue of Martin St-Louis's contract would already be settled?
Because, in fact, all the sources who brought up the subject believed that St-Louis—who has one year left on his current deal—would quickly sign a contract extension.
It was just a formality. And yet, nothing has been announced yet.
Note: I'm not saying this is cause for concern or that I think there's a problem. But what I am saying is that I'm surprised the matter hasn'

The Boston Red Sox are the team of the moment in Major League Baseball. Yesterday, they won their twelfth straight game by defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 7-6.
Wilyer Abreu once again made his mark by hitting two home runs for the second straight game. The Sox's right fielder is literally on fire, now with 15 home runs to his credit.
Boston scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to clinch the win. The day before, they had swept a doubleheader against those same Rays. These wins are cr

The Maple Leafs were the talk of the town last night.
Why? Because the team's X account posted an old goal by James Van Riemsdyk from when he was playing for the Maple Leafs.

But one might reasonably wonder if there's something bigger behind thi

To say the least, the Maple Leafs have had an eventful summer: several changes in management and behind the bench, the selection of Gavin McKenna, and several major free-agent signings.
With these personnel changes, the Toronto team hopes to regain its competitiveness as early as next season and make the playoffs after a difficult season.
However, after missing the postseason for the first time in 10 years, questions and rumors about the future of certain players in the City of Kings have begun

Even though several teams have been active in recent weeks, numerous rumors continue to circulate throughout the League.
Big names like Dylan Larkin could still change teams, and depth players could be of interest to clubs like the Canadiens.
Here are the latest rumors from across the NHL.
Morgan Frost could be an interesting option for the Habs
The Flames are rebuilding and may continue to trade away certain players.
According to David Pagnotta, who appeared on the Hello Hockey podcast, the nam

Just two years ago, the Baltimore Orioles had a chance as wide open as a barn door to win a fourth World Series title in franchise history.
However, the inability of President of Baseball Operations Mike Elias to build a decent pitching staff has derailed the last two seasons in Maryland.
Elias, however, seems to have taken to heart the saying that it's never too late to do the right thing. Indeed, starting pitcher Kyle Bradish and the Orioles agreed today (Saturday) to the terms of a five-year,

Connor Bedard has officially signed a contract for the upcoming season. The Blackhawks forward has signed a five-year deal that will pay him $15 million per year.
That's a pretty colossal sum, let's be honest.
So we're talking about a $75 million deal for Bedard, who will be in Chicago through 2031. And it's interesting to compare this deal to that of Ivan Demidov, who signed his contract a little over two weeks ago.
As we know, Demidov signed an eight-year deal in Montreal. But what's interesti
