Yordan Alvarez’s superb season continues

Yesterday, Houston Astros outfielder and designated hitter Yordan Alvarez hit a grand slam and led his team to an easy 13-2 victory over the Sacramento A's.
His 22nd home run of the season currently ranks him second in Major League Baseball, one home run behind the leader, Kyle Schwarber. By driving in four runs against the A's yesterday, he increased his season total to 48 RBIs, tying him with CJ Abrams for second place. Andy Pages (53) of the Dodgers leads the league in that category so far in

Over the next few months, negotiations between MLB and the players are likely to be intense. It feels more than ever that the issue of the salary cap will be a defining factor in the negotiations for the next collective bargaining agreement.
We've been talking about this for a long time… but seeing the Dodgers spend like there's no tomorrow (and, on top of that, win) has brought the issue back to the forefront.
And since both sides are pretty firmly entrenched in their respective position

If we are to believe the ambitions of the Société de développement et de mise en valeur du Parc olympique de Montréal, the return of the Expos to Olympic Stadium is not an option.
According to what we've learned from Maxime Truman, the upcoming renovations at Olympic Stadium will not include a configuration suitable for hosting baseball games.
Of the four preferred configurations, none supports the return of baseball to the city. Yet we had believed it was part of the

The Stanley Cup Final certainly provides fans with some great hockey, but for Montreal Canadiens fans, there's one thing on their minds: finding out what Kent Hughes will do to improve the team this summer.
Hughes has several options available to him to improve the team, and there are several logical targets.
However, it will be interesting to see what KH does with his 28th overall pick in the upcoming NHL Draft.
The obvious choice would be to trade it as part of a package deal to acquire an int

Former Montreal Alouettes quarterback Cody Fajardo reached a major milestone in his CFL career by earning his 50th win as a starter.
He reached this milestone on Saturday night thanks to the Edmonton Elks' 29-21 victory over the Rouge et Noir.
Fajardo also continued his climb toward another significant milestone: 100 career touchdown passes. In this game, he added a touchdown pass to his total, a drive that concluded in the second quarter with a 10-yard connection to former Alouettes receiver Au

The Toronto Blue Jays are in desperate need of reinforcements on the mound, having dealt with a slew of injuries in 2026.
That's why the return of former Cy Young Award winner Shane Bieber is eagerly anticipated; he has been on the injured list all season due to inflammation in his right elbow.
But fans may have to be patient in his case.
In fact, in his third rehab start yesterday (Saturday)—his first against Triple-A hitters—Bieber pitched two and two-thirds innings, allowing six h

The Stabley Cup final isn't over yet, but in Montreal, we're all waiting for the same thing.
In fact, we're wondering what Kent Hughes will do in the coming weeks. The Canadiens' GM wants to improve his team and will try to find a partner to make it happen.
But what can we expect? That's the million-dollar question…
I had some fun asking ChatGPT to name five logical targets for the Canadiens this summer. Artificial intelligence isn't perfect, but it gave me the names of…Dylan Larki

After being relieved of his duties as general manager of the Vikings at the end of the 2025 NFL season, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah didn't stay unemployed for long.
The executive, known for his analytical approach to professional football, quickly found a new challenge within the league.
A few weeks after leaving Minnesota, the 49ers decided to bring him into their organization on February 24, offering him a key role within their football operations department. This hire already underscored the Californi

The Dylan Larkin trade quickly became a hot topic throughout the National Hockey League.
And for good reason. When a player of that caliber becomes available, it always grabs attention because you don't necessarily see that very often in the NHL.
And right now, there seem to be three teams in particular to watch in this trade race… 
The renowned Elliotte Friedman recently discussed this on The Fan Hockey Show podcast: right now, the names of three teams are starting to circulate quit

There is a wave of optimism surrounding a possible expansion of the Canadian Football League (CFL) to Quebec City, according to a new report that is fueling discussions in sports and media circles.
According to journalist and host Sylvain Bouchard, talks have been underway for over a year regarding the construction of a future CFL stadium in the provincial capital.
According to information reported on his show Bouchard en parle on FM93, several influential business leaders are reportedly activel

The Toronto Maple Leafs made a major shake-up of their staff at the end of their disastrous 2025–2026 season.
They fired their general manager, Brad Treliving, much to Kent Hughes' dismay, while also firing their head coach, Craig Berube.
Treliving has already been controversially replaced by John Chayka, but the head coaching position remains vacant.
The Maple Leafs have interviewed several candidates, including Patrick Roy, who performed well, in an effort to find the best fit.

Former CFL player Michael Carter was found not guilty on six counts of sexual assault and sexual exploitation related to his time as a counselor at a high school in Windsor, Ontario.
The verdict was handed down Wednesday by Ontario Superior Court Judge Brian Dube, who concluded that the Crown had failed to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.
According to the ruling reported by the Windsor Star, the judge noted significant inconsistencies in the testimony of the three complainants, all form

After three games in this Stanley Cup Final between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights, it's already clear that we're witnessing one of the best finals in a long time.
Every game has been decided by a single goal, including two in overtime, making this a true classic of a series.
These are two teams that are very evenly matched in terms of talent and skill level, which makes for a completely wild battle in every game.
And let's just say that watching this Stanley Cup Final and

Mitch Marner put on a simply unreal performance last night for the entire hockey world, racking up four points, including a hat trick in the second period.
The Vegas Golden Knights' #93 was sensational, scoring two spectacular goals.
His electrifying performance was nearly overshadowed by the Hurricanes' four-goal comeback, but fortunately for Marner, the Knights narrowly escaped with a win in overtime.
After the game, Marner reflected on his historic performance, and later we heard from John To

Women's flag football will reach a major milestone in Canadian university sports by becoming a pilot sport for U SPORTS starting in the 2027–2028 season.
The announcement was made Wednesday during the organization's annual conference in Newfoundland, confirming the commitment to expand the range of sports available to female student-athletes.
This decision is part of a strategy to grow women's sports and diversify intercollegiate competitions across the country.

Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals took place last night at T-Mobile Arena in Vegas, with the series tied at 1-1.
So far, the Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights had put on an excellent show in the first two games of the series, and let's just say that Game 3 was no exception.
Here's a recap of that wild game.
We were treated to three completely different periods of regulation time in this game.
1st period: Perfectly even with no goals
In the first period, the game remained very tight

CF Montréal has reportedly made a decision regarding the future of its head coach.
According to information I was able to obtain today, the Montreal club is expected to announce in the coming days that Philippe Eullaffroy will remain in his position at least until the end of the 2026 season. My colleague Nilton Jorge also received the same information this evening.
This decision would put an end to several weeks of speculation surrounding the identity of the man who will lead the team upo

Nothing is going right for the San Diego Padres, who have lost their last six games and now trail the Los Angeles Dodgers by eight games in the National League West division.
The Padres' offense is in shambles, with Fernando Tatis Jr., Jackson Merrill, and Manny Machado not even a shadow of their former selves in 2026.
And as speculation continues about the reason for the Padres' offensive slump, Tatis has vented his frustration at the advanced statistics that have taken over Major League Baseba

The Canadiens were so close to the goal, yet so far away.
It's clear this team lacks the tools to win it all one day. Don't worry, though—Kent Hughes is on the case.
A winning team has to overcome some adversity, and that's exactly what the Habs faced in 2025-2026. Ivan Demidov believes his team will be back. He predicts not just one, but several Stanley Cups for the Habs.Ivan Demidov on the Habs' future:

The video prepared by the Blue Jays for his return to Toronto brought back some wonderful memories.
Caught up with former #BlueJays pitcher Chris Bassitt and asked him about his video tribute. He said he got choked up watching it:

The San Francisco 49ers may be forced to make moves in the trade market if they want to remain competitive in an increasingly competitive NFC West.
Despite an already well-structured roster, the pressure is mounting as their direct rivals make major moves during the offseason.
On one hand, the Los Angeles Rams made a major splash by acquiring elite defensive player Myles Garrett, an addition that immediately changes the landscape of the division.
On the other hand, the Seattle Seahawks have reta

Matthew Knies in Montreal: it was a close call.
He was literally one minute away from becoming a member of the Canadiens. But as we know, the trade fell through because of former Leafs GM Brad Treliving.
Alex Zharovsky, another prospect, and two first-round picks would have been headed to Toronto. In fact, David Pagnotta believes this trade will be revisited this summer regardless of the Leafs' direction.
But, according to Arpon Basu, Kent Hughes tried to offer that package for other stars. That

The Denver Broncos are entering a critical phase of their long-term planning, a situation that could have a direct impact on their young quarterback, Bo Nix.
The organization is taking a flexible financial approach that hints at a possible major contract extension for its former first-round pick.
Bo Nix, selected 12th overall in the 2024 draft, is currently recovering from two ankle surgeries he underwent during the offseason.
However, he is expected to return to action for training camp, which

This afternoon, the Blue Jays will face the Orioles. After suffering a (heavy) loss yesterday, the Toronto team will be looking to bounce back against a division rival.
Except that in addition to losing yesterday's game, the team also lost Daulton Varsho. The outfielder was dealing with a wrist injury, and there were questions about whether he'd be able to play today.
And as it turns out, he's not in the starting lineup today.
Let's bounce back! #BlueJays50 pic.twitter.com/GxojzVCjXy

As of today, the Canadiens hold the 28th pick in the upcoming draft. As a reminder, the reason they don't have the 29th pick is because the Senators will be drafting 32nd as a penalty for the Evgenii Dadonov saga.
Obviously, we're a long way from the days when the team was drafting in the top 5 every year. Seeing the team turn the corner in its rebuild means it's no longer in the running for the top prospects.
The Ruck twins are all well and good, but they're not exactly Ivan Demidov, you know.

Cleveland Browns linebacker Denzel Ward was keen to clarify his intentions regarding his future with the team, just days after the blockbuster trade that sent Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams.
Speaking at his celebrity softball game on Saturday, Ward stated unequivocally that he still wants to be part of the Cleveland organization, despite the departure of his former teammate and one of the franchise's defensive pillars.“I definitely want to stay here,” he said. “Myles is

Last fall, Crave released the second season of the series La reconstruction. The show follows the Montreal Canadiens and offers a glimpse into the club's day-to-day operations.
The goal was to help fans better understand what was happening as the club went through its… rebuilding process.
And clearly, the series was a huge success. We learned some very interesting things… and it's set to continue this fall.
Crave has confirmed that La reconstruction will return this fall with a new

With a record of 38 wins and 23 losses, the Milwaukee Brewers are firmly in control of their own destiny, sitting atop the National League Central Division, five games ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals.
This position is partly due to the work of the Brewers' pitching staff, led by Jacob Misiorowski and Kyle Harrison, who both currently have ERAs under 2.00.
However, Brandon Woodruff, Quinn Priester, and Logan Henderson are currently sidelined. And this week, Coleman Crow looked shaky against the

Philadelphia Eagles fans are known for their passion and their ability to quickly adopt unique traditions.
However, an idea launched by star wide receiver A.J. Brown never managed to win over the public.
During a live social media broadcast in the summer of 2025, Brown admitted to admiring the popularity of the famous chant associated with his former teammate Cooper DeJean.
Whenever DeJean made a big play, Eagles fans would let out a thunderous “Cooooop!” from the stands, creating on
