Two Potential Destinations for Max Scherzer’s Final Years as a Player

Will Max Scherzer's final start in the majors be in Toronto? Let's just say it's likely, yes.
After all, it's becoming increasingly clear that time has caught up with the pitcher, who will be welcomed into the Hall of Fame as soon as he becomes eligible for induction.
But there's still a scenario in which he could be traded by the Blue Jays by August 3.
Obviously, for that to happen, he'll have to prove he can still make an impact. And let's just say his performance in 2026 makes us seriously&md

To be a good National League player, you need talent.
We all know it's not rocket science.
But it's not just that, either. It also takes confidence: a guy who doesn't believe in himself will never be able to reach his full potential. That's true in hockey, but it's also true in life in general.
That said, Nick Suzuki shared a story that demonstrates Lane Hutson's tremendous confidence.
In an Instagram video posted on Bauer's account (featuring Hutson and Cole Caufield), the captain recounts that

The Odyssey star Matt Damon recently appeared on a podcast where he sang the praises of a Vancouverstunt double he worked with on the Christopher Nolan epic film.Damon, who plays Odysseus, the legendary Greek King of Ithaca, said on an episode of Joshua Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused that his body double for the scene when Odysseus and his crew fight the massive, heavily armed giant warriors the Laestrygonians “had the greatest arms I’ve ever seen.”Those arms belong to Va

Fourteen years ago this summer, the scandal that had the gossip ecosystem in a chokehold was the Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise divorce. It was a bombshell – not just on the public but, reportedly, on him too, because she exited herself out his life with the stealth of a ninja; and in the weeks that followed there was incessant rumouring about how she pulled it off, with burner phones and sh-t, and there was talk that she actually used the paparazzi, made herself visible, so that she could be

The British Columbia Lions made a major change to their offensive line on Thursday when they announced the release of American blocker Dejon Allen.
Allen, 32, had served as the team's right guard for the past two seasons. He started five games this year and appeared in a total of 10 games with the Lions since joining the team.
His time in British Columbia, however, was marked by physical challenges. In 2025, the veteran notably missed a long stretch of action due to injury.
Allen had joined the

Things are still happening in Toronto.
The Blue Jays announced that they have recalled Davis Schneider and Adam Macko from Buffalo in Triple-A.
Schneider is taking over for Sean Keys, who hasn't been making much of an impact in the majors lately and wasn't getting much playing time. Sending him back down was the right move for his own good.
Macko, meanwhile, is taking the place of Patrick Corbin, who is out with a sprain. He hasn't been injured in years, and this happens just when we were wonder

Every year, Dom Luszczyszyn uses his mathematical model to rank the best and worst contracts in the NHL.
Basically, he takes the remaining value of the contracts (and the remaining years on the contract) and projects the value a player would need to provide for a team to get its money's worth.
It really is a mathematical model.
Every year, it sparks a lot of discussion. A few years ago, Nick Suzuki's contract was ranked among the worst in the NHL because his model didn't project such a meteoric

Comic-Con begins today. I knew it was coming but at the same time, it took me a little bit by surprise, in part because it seems like July has just flown by, but also because the run up to Comic-Con feels…muted, compared to what it was a decade ago. I would like to talk about that, because Comic-Con used to be a big red circle on the calendar.Some of it could be just plain getting older and losing interest in things that entertained me 20 years ago. Which is fair and how it should be! Som

About three weeks ago, the Boston Red Sox were well on their way to becoming sellers ahead of the MLB trade deadline. Rumors were swirling everywhere about which players might leave Massachusetts and which teams might acquire their services.

The Montreal Alouettes continue to bolster their roster ahead of the next stretch of the season by signing American linebacker Quinn Urwiler, the organization announced Thursday.
Urwiler, 25, arrives in Montreal with an impressive college track record. The 6-foot, 226-pound player particularly stood out in 2025 with the Northern Illinois University Huskies, where he served as captain.
During his final season in the NCAA, he had an exceptional campaign, racking up 141 tackles—including 71 s

Chris Stapleton became a star with the 2015 release of Traveller and his inspired version of Tennessee Whiskey, first covered by cult country wild man David Allan Coe. It’s a connection that makes perfect sense, as Stapleton is an artist who fits the outlaw country mode to a T.The only difference is Stapleton is one of a few outlaw country rockers who sells out arenas all over the world. He packed Rogers Arena last night on the latest outing of his long-running all-American Road Show Tour

The Edmonton Oilers have come close to winning the Stanley Cup two years in a row. Last year, things took a turn for the worse with an early first-round elimination following a poor second half of the season.The pressure will be very high again this year in the Alberta city, especially since Connor McDavid will have only one season remaining on his contract at the end of the upcoming season.
Is this the Oilers' last chance to win the Stanley Cup with McDavid? The question is being asked, and acc
