Already a team in the C.J. Abrams derby

With less than two months to go before the Major League Baseball trade deadline, trade talks are already beginning to surface.
And the latest one involves Washington Nationals shortstop C.J. Abrams. According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, at least one team is in the running to acquire the 25-year-old.
It's unclear how willing the Nats are to trade their prospect, but one thing we do know, according to Heyman, is that it wasn't the Bronx Bombers who inquired about Abrams' availability.But e

The Blue Jays hosted the Yankees this afternoon. And let's just say the Toronto team didn't exactly live up to expectations.
And when I say the team, I mean everyone… except Kevin Gausman. He was good.
The Blue Jays' No. 1 pitcher came out to win. He pitched seven innings, giving up just one run.
On the mound, he looked dominant.

Although the NHL season isn't over yet, that hasn't stopped rumors from swirling throughout the league.
And with the draft and the opening of free agency fast approaching, discussions are heating up among team executives.
Here are the latest rumors from around the league.

There are several questions surrounding the Maple Leafs, particularly regarding Auston Matthews' future in Toronto.

Addison Barger is making progress
He could be playing in the minors next week, if all goes well.
Addison Barger has progressed to throwing from 120 feet in Dunedin at the PDC, according to Schneider. He's taking regular batting practice and will move on to hitting off pitching machines in “the next couple of days.”
From there, Barger could move to rehab games mid to late next week. #BlueJays

As we know, the Canadiens need a second-line center.
In fact, that's currently the missing piece the Habs need to truly be among the teams contending for the top honors.
Dany Dubé discussed the situation at center for the Habs in an article on TVA Sports, and now that Nick Suzuki has cemented his status as the league's top defensive center by winning the Selke Trophy, Montreal needs a center who excels at both ends of the ice, like Sam Bennett.The Canadiens have their Aleksander Barkov; n

On Thursday, June 11, Shane Bieber pitched brilliantly in Triple-A for the Buffalo Bisons. Over five innings, the pitcher allowed no earned runs.
He walked only one batter and threw 62 pitches.
We thought that would be enough to see him back in the Majors as early as his next start, but the plan is to have him pitch one more time in Buffalo.
And after that, he should be back.

Tomorrow night, the Hurricanes will have the chance to win the Stanley Cup. The team is just one win away from the title and will need to win one of their next two games against the Golden Knights to be crowned champions.
For their part, the Knights need to find solutions… and if they want to mount a comeback, they'll need better performances from Carter Hart.
The starting goaltender in Vegas is having a tough series, as he is the first goaltender in history to have allowed at least four

Cam Schlittler is having a breakout season in a Yankees uniform. The young starting pitcher has the best ERA in the American League so far this season (1.87) and has been truly dominant on the mound.
He's the best starter in a rotation that relies on Max Fried (who is currently injured) and Gerrit Cole, after all. That says a lot.
And today, Schlittler will take the mound for his team in a matchup against the Blue Jays. He'll use the opportunity to reconnect with Toronto fans… and he's al

Earlier this week, it was announced that Nikita Kucherov had won the Hart Trophy. The Lightning forward, who went on a tear in the second half of the season, edged out Connor McDavid and Nathan MacKinnon in a very, very close race.
And that's not even counting Macklin Celebrini, who could have closed in on the top three if he had led his team to the playoffs.
But beyond those four players, there's another who received a first-place vote: Nick Suzuki. We didn't know who had voted for the Habs for

Yesterday, against the Athletics, the Colorado Rockies suffered their 44th loss of the season. That high number of losses puts the team in last place in Major League Baseball. Nothing very surprising, you might say, and you'd be absolutely right: the Rockies are terrible.
In fact, at this rate, Warren Schaeffer's team is on track to suffer more than 100 losses for four consecutive years. In 2025, they suffered 119 losses.
It's no surprise, then, that fewer and fewer Colorado fans are showing up

Samuel Montembeault had a dismal 2025–26 season. The Quebec native started the year as the No. 1 goaltender, but his poor performances quickly saw him drop to third in the pecking order.
He was overtaken by Jakub Dobes… and by Jacob Fowler, who could have otherwise benefited from a full season as a starter in Laval.
As a result, many people expect to see Monty traded this summer. After all, a three-way competition for the starting job isn't particularly desirable, and moving on coul

Lane Hutson has just had (another) strong season in a Habs uniform. The defenseman scored 12 goals and tallied 78 points in 82 regular-season games before adding 16 points in 19 playoff games.
And all that earned him a sixth-place finish in the Norris Trophy voting.
Except that, in reality, there's still something peculiar about the situation: Hutson doesn't really have a regular partner… and he's the one being asked to adapt to accommodate depth players like Jayden Struble. And that has

Exactly one year to the day after making a sensational debut in Major League Baseball, Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Jacob Misiorowski pitched a near-perfect game yesterday against the Philadelphia Phillies.
The 24-year-old was too much for the Phillies' seasoned lineup, which was left with little to no answer. In the end, only Kyle Schwarber managed a bit of success against the Brewers' pitcher, getting a hit off him.
In an easy 6-0 win, Misiorowski allowed just one hit en route to a complete

The Canadiens finished sixth in the overall standings and made it to Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals without a true second-line center.
It's quite a feat, when you think about it.
It's still possible that they could resolve this well-documented issue in spectacular fashion in the coming weeks. But it's also far from impossible that they'll pass on addressing it again this summer—or at least turn to more “modest” options.
Some are also talking about acquiring a right-han

Once again this year, we can expect a busy offseason from Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens, with several issues on the table.
The Habs want to improve immediately ahead of next season, and that involves three potential acquisitions: a second-line center, a top-6 winger, and a right-handed defenseman.
The most pressing need is clearly a second-line center—a need that was already identified last summer but ultimately never addressed.
In fact, it ended up being temporarily filled by the

The 2026 World Cup has really kicked off in recent days, as the three host countries—Mexico, Canada, and the United States—have all played their opening matches.
The result?
Canada is the only host country that failed to deliver a victory to its fans, settling for a disappointing 1-1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina.
It was an extremely frustrating match yesterday afternoon, as Canada sorely lacked opportunism in a game it could have easily won.
This draw, which felt like a loss,

About a week ago, Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki won the Frank J. Selke Trophy, awarded to the National Hockey League forward who demonstrates the best defensive skills.
This is quite an accomplishment for Suzuki, even though it had been expected for some time, given that he has received numerous votes over the past several seasons.
This feat really highlights Suzuki's importance and talent, as he is the first player since Guy Carbonneau in 1992 to win this trophy.
In short, we're all ve

He clarified that his shoulder is the part of his body that is taking the longest to heal. He expects to start throwing again soon.

Alexis Lafrenière is struggling to make his mark as an impact player in the NHL. In fact, I'd say it's more of an issue with the Rangers, because he doesn't seem to be getting the opportunities he needs to prove himself.
This season, he tied his personal best for points (57), but let's just say that's far from the production expected of a talented forward drafted with the very first overall pick… six years ago.
A change of scenery could certainly do him some good to jumpstart his c

Rumors surrounding a potential trade involving Maxx Crosby continue to be the talk of the NFL.
This time, it's the San Francisco 49ers who are being linked to the formidable quarterback sack specialist in several hypothetical scenarios discussed by analysts and league observers.
According to several recent reports, San Francisco could become a serious contender to acquire Crosby if the circumstances align during the 2026 season. The idea would be particularly plausible if the 49ers find themselv

Rumors are swirling in the NHL right now, as the Stanley Cup champions are set to be crowned in the coming days.
It's nothing new that there are talks about players who might change teams during the playoffs.
Teams currently out of the playoffs need to take stock of their season and figure out what they're missing for the next round.
There are names that have come up frequently in recent weeks, including Dylan Larkin, Nico Hischier, and others.
In this article, we'll focus on the cases of Alex T

The idea of Justin Jefferson wearing a Buffalo Bills uniform seems highly unlikely at this point, but that hasn't stopped some NFL analysts and observers from speculating about a blockbuster trade between Buffalo and the Minnesota Vikings.
For several seasons now, Justin Jefferson has been considered one of the best wide receivers in the entire NFL. Thanks to his speed, agility, and ability to make big plays, he has become the cornerstone of the Vikings' offense. His arrival in Buffalo would ins

Things are heating up with the Blue Jays.
As expected, the team has activated Alejandro Kirk from the 60-day injured list. He'll be able to play against the Yankees tonight as the cleanup hitter.
To make room for him, the Blue Jays had to clear a spot on the active roster (26 players) as well as on the 40-man roster. A player on the 60-day injured list is excluded from the 40-man roster.
To achieve this, the Blue Jays opted to designate veteran Tyler Heineman for assignment.

If there's one head coach who's definitely got people talking, it's John Tortorella. The fiery coach has his own unique style, and not everyone is a fan.
When he was hired by the Vegas Golden Knights with just a few games left in the regular season, many people had a lot of questions.
One of the questions on many people's minds was: why is Tortorella getting another chance behind an NHL bench?
After all, this is the first time since 2004 that he's reached the Stanley Cup Final, back when he won

Larry David was at the Knicks’ game 4, seated between David Zaslav and John McEnroe. I want to dunk on Zaslav for being there, but he is from NYC, so he gets a pass on this and this alone.

On January 28, Marco Marciano joined the Montreal Canadiens as a new addition to the coaching staff.
He took over (on an interim basis) from Éric Raymond as the Habs' goaltending coach.
And let's be honest: his arrival was a game-changer… because at that point, the Habs' goalies were struggling. Jakub Dobes, in particular, finished the season strong and was also excellent in the playoffs.
Pascal Vincent played alongside Marciano during his career and shared a great story about his
