Alex Cora with the Yankees: Crazy Enough to Be True?

Will Aaron Boone keep his job?
Despite another Yankees elimination—which makes the team's current streak without a World Series title the longest in franchise history—the question remains.
But… everyone is asking it even though they know the answer. Brian Cashman will likely get a contract extension, and he'll probably stick with his manager.
We talked about it last night on the Passion MLB podcast: it's the most likely scenario, even if a change would be good.

In 2026, the Houston Astros became the worst team in MLB history to make the playoffs, with a record of 81 wins and 81 losses. Sure, injuries threw a wrench in the works, but the fact remains that things weren't looking good in Houston this season.
In fact, under manager Joe Espada, the Astros have made the playoffs in two of the last three seasons but haven't won a single playoff game.
It's therefore expected that this will be his swan song. Especially since the Seattle Mariners intend to inter

Clearly, the chants from Habs fans didn't convince Dylan Larkin and his entourage to agree to a trade to Montreal. Larkin and his wife still have the city of Montreal on the athlete's no-trade list.
Will that change? Renaud Lavoie and Elliotte Friedman refuse to close the door entirely, but let's just say the chances remain slim.
Why is Dylan Larkin—who trained with Cole Caufield over the summer and was practically traded to the Habs last August—categorically refusing to join a Canad

I like this thing that studios are doing just as production begins on a film – sharing footage from the screen test process as the actors begin to find their characters and their performances through their wardrobes. It helps to build anticipation for the project but also they often time it just ahead of when the cast is expected to shoot exteriors, so that the first images of the actors in costume isn’t from the paparazzi.Production is now underway on Miami Vice ’85, directed

At the start of the season, the Canadiens had eight healthy defensemen vying for a spot on the team. Lane Hutson, Mike Matheson, Noah Dobson, Alexandre Carrier, Arber Xhekaj, Jayden Struble, and Adam Engstrom made the cut.
David Reinbacher, on the other hand, was sent back down.
The Canadiens also had Kaiden Guhle on the roster, but he was injured. There was a chance he would return quickly, which is ultimately what happened.
But now, with Jayden Struble gone and Mike Matheson day-to-day, the Ca

The Los Angeles Dodgers lost Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Brewers last night (Monday) in Milwaukee and now trail 2-0 as the series moves to Dodger Stadium for Game 3 tomorrow (Wednesday).
And for this pivotal matchup, a key player on the California team may be absent from the field—at least early in the game.
In fact, Shohei Ohtani's slump is severe enough that the Dodgers are considering benching him for Game 3 of the series, according to manager Dave Robe

After today's practice, Martin St-Louis spoke with the media.
First, he announced that Mike Matheson (lower-body injury) won't play tonight. Owen Beck will take his place in the lineup, and the team will go with 12 forwards and six defensemen.
Otherwise, Jacob Fowler will be in net.Jacob Fowler will be the starting goaltender against the Sabres.

As long as the Canadiens don't give us any details about Oliver Kapanen, the situation will continue to be strange and keep people talking.
That's to be expected. After all, sometimes he's at practice… and sometimes he's not. It depends on how he's feeling that day.
We don't know exactly when he'll be back to full health. But we do know that the Canadiens felt the need to recall Owen Beck to serve as the 12th forward.Beck is here this morning.

Dear Gossips,In addition to the unfunny, lazy, and offensively bad jokes that the audience had to endure on Saturday Night Live this weekend, delivered by a host who Lorne Michaels obstinately insists on inviting back (because he’s the ultimate instigating troll), one of the other downsides is that the host controversy overshadows the performance of the musical guest.

The Rangers need help in goal. We all know that.
Joonas Korpisalo is going to miss a good month of action, and the team's No. 1 goaltender (Igor Shesterkin), as you probably know, won't be returning to action this season.
The team is stuck with Dylan Garand and Spencer Martin for now. Not ideal, no.
The Rangers may not necessarily have the roster to win the Stanley Cup as early as 2027, but let's just say they'll need more stability than this between the pipes this season.

The number 9 has followed the Montreal Alouettes everywhere this season. The team is aiming for its ninth Grey Cup in franchise history, Jason Maas has been repeating his “Grind for Nine” slogan since 2024, and the club has won all nine of its home games.
For Geoffrey Cantin-Arku, the parallel with 2009 is striking: that year, Montreal was also undefeated at home before winning the championship.
The driving force behind this success is Davis Alexander. On Monday, against the Saskatch

Last week, Frank Seravalli revisited the Canadiens' offer to the Blue Jackets for Kirill Marchenko. The insider noted that, according to his sources, Kent Hughes was prepared to offer five assets to the Blue Jackets in exchange for the Russian player.
The talk was of two forwards and a defenseman—all currently playing in the NHL—plus a first-round pick and a conditional pick that could become a first-round pick.
In reality, it's widely agreed that this is a pretty massive offer. We d

For the past week, the Canadiens have been without Ivan Demidov. The young Russian, who is a key part of the team's offense, is sidelined with a foot injury.
According to the latest reports, he was still wearing a walking boot just a few days ago.
However, tonight, our colleague Maxime Truman reported some good news: according to what he's heard, Demidov's foot is healing quickly.
Although that could still change, we should expect the Russian to be out closer to two weeks (rather than four weeks

Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs. Logan Henderson: The matchup between the two starting pitchers in the Dodgers-Brewers game looked promising.
But it quickly became clear that the starting pitchers weren't going to capture the spotlight for the right reasons.
Teoscar Hernandez opened the scoring in the first inning with a sacrifice fly. Also in the first, William Contreras hit a single to tie the game at 1-1.
In the third inning, the Dodgers took a 2-1 lead on a wild throw by pitcher Henderson to first bas

Dylan Larkin has been the talk of the town for a while now. We know that the forward, who wants to leave Michigan, isn't (yet?) ready to accept a trade that would send him to Montreal.
And that's despite the fact that the fans showed him some love on Saturday night… and that the Habs are (truly) willing to pay to bring him in.
So the question is whether, at some point, Larkin (or his camp) will change his mind and accept a trade to Montreal. And Elliotte Friedman, on his podcast “32

About six months ago, the New York Islanders took everyone by surprise when they fired Patrick Roy. This all happened with just four games left in the Isles' season, when they were still in playoff contention.
We know how it turned out: Peter DeBoer's arrival didn't have the desired effect, and the team ultimately missed the playoffs.
And Mathieu Darche, the Islanders' GM, was ultimately criticized by many for that decision because of the results that followed. Many saw it as a lack of respect f

Josh Anderson is a crowd favorite in Montreal.
He skates well, he's imposing, he's intimidating, and he's a huge asset to the team.
He's currently in the final year of his seven-year contract worth $5.5 million per season, and many are eager to see what his next contract will look like and whether he'll want to stay in Montreal.
It's hard to say what his next contract will look like, but we now know that Josh really wants to stay in Montreal.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. just had a somewhat disappointing 2026 season. On the surface, his stats (19 home runs and 41 stolen bases) aren't terrible, but he didn't hit as well as he did in 2025.
More importantly, he finished the year quite a bit short of his goal of a 50-50 season.
All of this comes as Chisholm Jr. is just a few weeks away from full free agency. And while we don't necessarily expect to see him return to the Bronx, we're starting to consider other options.

We often see NHL players buying new cars.
We remember that when Jonathan Huberdeau was traded from the Florida Panthers to the Calgary Flames, he had to part with his luxury cars. They weren't really meant to be driven in Calgary.
When players earn several million dollars a season, it's normal to see them buying luxury cars or sports cars (like Lamborghinis).
Others opt instead for big trucks, and that's exactly what Cole Caufield did just recently.
The small forward for the Habs treated himself

Things are happening with the Canadiens.
Kent Hughes didn't make a trade… but the team recalled Owen Beck from the Laval Rocket.

Um, are you okay, Doby?
I wondered that after seeing what he said after today's practice.
Because it's… weird?
Basically, Jakub Dobes was asked how he felt about Samuel Montembeault's return—Montembeault is likely to rejoin the team soon, considering his injury isn't (very) serious.
And Doby, who needs to prove himself to earn more ice time, mentioned that it's more fun with three goalies on the roster. Is it just me, or… is that a weird comment?It's funny to have all three g

Connor Hellebuyck’s situation in Winnipeg is taking on enormous proportions.
He decided not to report to his team's training camp and has been suspended (without pay) ever since.
And now, the Jets find themselves in a strange situation… because the team can't seem to find a partner to dance with when it comes to a trade.
According to Elliotte Friedman, this means the goaltender may have no choice but to return to action with the Jets… even if that won't satisfy anyone. The fa
