Mike Rizzo on MLB's betting suspensions: 'You have to be smarter than that'

Mike Rizzo tells the Junkies that DJ Herz's MLB debut was 'a big step forward'

Grant & Danny wonder if Commanders found something out before releasing Brandon McManus

JUNKIES: Which player atop the NBA Draft Board is a better fit for the Wizards?
We’re about three weeks away from the NBA Draft, so it’s crunch time for Will Dawkins and company to make their choice for No. 2 - and unlike many years, where there’s a clear No. 1, 2024 is a flip-flop of two guys based on personal preference.
