Tarik Skubal’s price could drop

If the Detroit Tigers continue to struggle as they have since the start of the season, two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal is likely to be traded. However, if Skubal continues to perform as he has since returning to action, Detroit may not receive the full value of its star player in exchange for his services.
Because once again yesterday (Wednesday), Skubal—making his third start since returning from the injured list—allowed four runs to the New York Yankees en route to a 4-

I guess $120 million isn’t always enough.
According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Jason Robertson turned down an eight-year contract offer from the Seattle Kraken worth a total of $120 million, representing an average annual salary of $15 million.
Yes, yes. Fifteen million dollars per season.https://t.co/O1WP18i1Ap

The Hurricanes have just won the Stanley Cup. Yet, they reportedly tried to make an even bigger splash.
According to Frank Serevalli, the Carolina team reportedly submitted a major offer to the Jets in an effort to acquire Connor Hellebuyck.

MLB and the Players Association, as we know, are in the midst of negotiations for their next collective bargaining agreement. And this year, more than ever, it feels like the issue of the salary cap is taking center stage.
The league seems adamant about implementing one… while the players are adamant that there shouldn't be one. And that's what's causing the threat of a (long) labor dispute to loom over the sport.
That said, on this topic, MLB has decided to put forward a new proposal reg

Big news in the NHL.
There's reportedly some movement on the Mason McTavish front. We know the forward has been at the center of trade rumors for the past year… and it seems we're getting closer to a resolution.
According to Frank Seravalli, there are currently “advanced discussions” between the Ducks and the Rangers regarding a trade involving McTavish.
The reporter notes that nothing has been finalized… but that this is a possibility to keep an eye on.

Jennifer Lawrence has been papped more regularly in New York lately. She lives there and she was also filming there recently, working with Leonardo DiCaprio on Martin Scorsese’s What Happens at Night. They reportedly wrapped on the project a couple of weeks ago so now she has more down time and she’s been seen going for walks, with or without her baby, on bike rides, and also heading to the gym, which is what she was doing this morning.

The Canadiens have kept a pretty low profile since the trade frenzy began a few days ago. Aside from a minor trade that sent Luke Tuch to Columbus, the team hasn’t really made any moves.
Will something happen? We'll see.
That said, just because the Habs haven't made any moves doesn't mean the club isn't doing anything. According to Pierre LeBrun, the Habs are one of the most aggressive teams right now. David Pagnotta has also made similar comments.The Canadiens are reportedly making severa

Mason McTavish is a name that just won't go away in Montreal. The Ducks' center—who seems quite clearly tradeable—is seen by many as a good fit for Montreal.
He's left-handed, physical, young, signed to a long-term deal… and most importantly, he plays center.
That said, it seems that Pat Verbeek, for better or worse, remains steadfast in his high demands for any potential trade involving McTavish. And Eric Engels, in an article for Sportsnet, explained why the Habs are unlikel

As a sign that the 2026 Major League Baseball season is fast approaching, we're already six weeks away from the MLB trade deadline, and things are going to move quickly in the coming weeks.

Despite the end of his nine-game suspension, star quarterback Chad Kelly's future in the Canadian Football League (CFL) remains uncertain.A recent high-level meeting with Commissioner Randy Ambrosie failed to resolve the impasse regarding the Toronto Argonauts player's reinstatement.
At the heart of the dispute is an extremely restrictive clause that league officials are attempting to impose on the 30-year-old player. The league is demanding that he sign a “last-chance agreement.” Th

For the past few hours, there's been a lot of talk about Kirill Marchenko in Montreal. The Habs are looking into the matter, and the Blue Jackets—even though they don't want to trade him—are listening to offers.
And seeing Valeri Nichushkin arrive in Columbus has only added to the uncertainty surrounding the situation.
And just moments ago, the Canadiens completed a trade with the Jackets. Except it wasn't exactly the one everyone was expecting.
Instead, Montreal traded Luke Tuch to

Tom Holland and Zendaya are now in London promoting Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Before that it was Paris, just last night, and before that Rome, earlier this week. Normally when Zendaya is on a press tour, her fashion is the dominant headline. On this press tour though… I mean I’ve enjoyed the fashion, the fashion is always, always, always A+++, but the fashion is not what I’m thinking about.What I’m thinking about is how cute they are, how sweet they are – so cute

For the past few hours, Kirill Marchenko's name has been the talk of Montreal. The Blue Jackets seem open to listening to offers (though they aren't necessarily looking to trade him), and many sources are starting to mention the Habs in connection with this situation.
That doesn't mean it's definitely going to happen, but it's something to keep an eye on.
And it's interesting to note that just minutes ago, the Blue Jackets made a trade. The team acquired Valeri Nichushkin from Colorado.

As we know, Brendan Gallagher is expected to be traded soon. And from the start, it's seemed likely that the veteran might end up in Vancouver.
He's a native of the region, the Canucks need leadership to kick off their rebuild, and the team's new coach, Manny Malhotra, played with Gallagher in Montreal.
That said, the deal isn't finalized yet. It's also worth noting that today, Gallagher officially became an honorary citizen of the city of Montreal.Gallagher, honorary citizen! @MTL_Ville @Soraya

The trade market continues to shake up teams in the Canadian Football League.The Ottawa REDBLACKS have confirmed the signing of American quarterback McLeod Bethel-Thompson, a move that marks a significant change within the organization.
This signing comes shortly after the departure of Dru Brown, who was traded to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. To quickly fill this void, Ottawa has chosen to rely on a veteran with extensive experience in the CFL and several other professional leagues.

At this time four summers ago in 2022, our gossip preoccupation was Don’t Worry Darling, directed by Olivia Wilde, starring Florence Pugh and also Olivia’s then-boyfriend Harry Styles. Florence wasn’t f-cking with the movie, all kinds of rumours were flying around about what went down on that set, and the most toxic corner of Harry’s fandom was taking full advantage of the situation in a hate campaign to bring Olivia down. The whole mess peaked in August that year when th

Last week, it was reported that the Canadiens had not yet spoken with Kirby Dach's camp about a new contract.

What will the Canadiens do in the next few hours? That's the million-dollar question right now.
We know the club is currently looking into a lot of different options. And even though Jeff Gorton says the club expects to draft 28th tomorrow, there are reasons to be skeptical.
We'll believe it when we see it.
And it's interesting to note that in the last few minutes, one name has started to be linked quite a bit to the Canadiens: Kirill Marchenko.

It's true that the Toronto Blue Jays have had to deal with their share of injuries since the start of this Major League Baseball season.

Michael Hage is one of the top prospects in the Canadiens' organization.
He's seen as a young player with the skills to play in the top six of an NHL team, but he may still need a little more time before he gets there.
That's one of the main reasons he's said he wants to return for a third season in the NCAA. He wants to work on his game as a center and add some weight to his frame as well. But not so fast…
If we're to believe what Jeff Gorton said earlier this afternoon, Michael Hage mig

The first round of the 2026 National League draft will take place tomorrow.

Basically, Gorton said there's a “good chance” the Habs will draft at No. 28 tomorrow. The Canadiens are exploring their options, but Gorton's comments suggested tha
