10 Players Who Impressed Early at Steelers Training Camp
Week one of Pittsburgh Steelers training camp is in the books and the team is off for a day-long break before returning to Saint Vincent College for week two. This week, padded practices will begin, and the Steelers are expecting to see their "poll position" starting quarterback on the field after missing the opening week. But what's yet to come, we'll wait for. For now, it's time to look back at those who took an early stance in Latobe and came out of the opening week as the most impressive players on the field.
An inside look at everything that went wrong and how a would-be assassin was able to put Trump in his bullseye
New details about the hours leading up to the Trump rally shooting show gaping holes in the Secret Service’s security detail that allowed a 20-year-old gunman to have a clear shot at Donald Trump and a crowd of his supporters. Several reports depict a stunning lack of communication between...
Steelers Safety And Former Ravens DB DeShon Elliott Says Pittsburgh 'Feels Like Home'
The Pittsburgh Steelers' safety depth was decimated last season due to injuries. General Manager Omar Khan made a point of adding to the position room this offseason to make sure that the team doesn't have to deal with issues at safety again in 2024. While DeShon Elliott wasn't the flashiest signing, he's a hard-hitting safety that understands AFC North football and should fit in perfectly with Pittsburgh's defense. Elliott, Damontae Kazee and Minkah Fitzpatrick all offer unique skill sets at the safety position, but they all have one thing in common: they like to hit. Pittsburgh's secondary hasn't exactly been great...

Pirates Option Jack Suwinski to Triple-A, Activate Bryan Reynolds; Bailey Falter Returns From IL
The Pittsburgh Pirates have optioned outfielder Jack Suwinski to Triple-A Indianapolis. It clears a roster spot for outfielder Bryan Reynolds, who has been activated from the Bereavement List. The 2024 season has been a major disappointment for Suwinski, who turns 26 years old on Monday. In 88 games on the season, Suwinski carried a dreadful .188/.264/.324 batting line with only 17 extra-base hits including nine home runs. In Sunday’s comeback win over the Arizona Diamondbacks, Suwinski went 0 for 2 and struck out in both of his plate appearances before he was pinch hit for late in the game. Over his last...
The dark deportation albatross brooding above a Trump win | HUDSON
Two weeks before shots rang out in Butler, Pennsylvania, I received a solicitation from the Trump campaign headlined “I NEED YOU ON MY WAR COUNCIL!” If you are wondering why the campaign would waste time and money soliciting a Democrat, I should confess I subscribe to several conservative publications in the interest of remaining current with right-wing perspectives. These subscriptions hint I might be a Republican fundraising prospect. All sorts of appeals for campaign donations tumble into both my snail mailbox and my email — usually from Democrats. You learn a lot about the temperature of American politics from receiving the messages partisan direct-mail mavens believe might hook you.
Fantasy Football: Who Benefits Most from New Steelers Offense?
Fantasy football is back, and as kickoff for the 2024 season nears, it’s clear that the game has evolved in remarkable ways. Long gone are the days when the Pittsburgh Steelers offense was synonymous with fantasy dominance, led by the electric duo of wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le’Veon Bell. But it might not be as bleak as it’s been the last few years, either. With new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith hoping to breathe some life into the Pittsburgh attack, a new generation of Steelers is ready to make their fantasy football mark. Let’s dive into what the Steelers have...
Dan’s Daily: Why John Gibson Wasn’t Traded; Future Penguins Core
The Pittsburgh Penguins prospects countdown reached No. 1 Sunday, and there is a new top dog in the 2024 PHN rankings. Unlike in years past, when compiling the list, it felt like the Penguins had a future. I dare submit that Penguins fans might want to borrow a page from the Pirates fans and start to like prospects coverage. Elsewhere in the Daily, Eric Stephens answered the question, why haven’t the Anaheim Ducks traded John Gibson? After all, the guy has been on the NHL trade block and has wanted out of Anaheim for at least two years. Colleagues slapped a grade on the Philadelphia Flyers signing Travis Konecny to a huge contract, our Detroit colleagues shined a light on the player development of the Detroit Red Wings, and dreams do come true in Florida.
A bold mock Aroldis Chapman trade proposal that would fix the Pirates' outfield
Outfield has clearly been an issue for the Pittsburgh Pirates this year. Jack Suwinski hasn’t been able to follow up his 26-homer campaign, Edward Olivares was optioned after his disappointing start to the season, and Michael A. Taylor also hasn’t been able to replicate anything close to his 21-homer campaign last year. Bryan Reynolds has been about the only useful outfielder the Pirates have, as of right now.
Red Sox trade one of their top-ranked prospects to acquire 23-year-old pitcher from Pirates
WORCESTER — After nearly two months of solid baseball with the WooSox, Nick Yorke is shipping up to ... Indianapolis. The Boston Red Sox’ infield/outfield prospect was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday in exchange for right-handed pitcher Quinn Priester. Yorke played in 83 games this season for Double-A Portland (45 games) and Triple-A Worcester...
Steelers QB Competition: Did Justin Fields catch up to Russell Wilson in first week?
Latrobe, Pa. -- Justin Fields received a unique opportunity by proxy for Russell Wilson’s calf injury: The Steelers got to see him with the first team for an extended time. They experienced the trials and tribulations of the Fields experience. He dazzled with his deep balls all over the yard but made many annoying mistakes. This would all spiral and change from a snap-to-snap basis. It all gave Fields a solid four days rather than one, allowing him to surge forward.
Pirates rally with tying run in 9th inning, 4 in 10th to beat Diamondbacks 6-5
PHOENIX — Ji Hwan Bae scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch in Pittsburgh's four-run 10th inning, Joey Bart hit a tying run-scoring double in the ninth and the Pirates rallied to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 on Sunday. The teams combined for five hits through eight innings,...
Red Sox cash in top prospect trade chip for young Pirates starting pitcher
When the Boston Red Sox traded for James Paxton on July 26, many fans and experts believed he was the only help the rotation would get. But the Red Sox and the Pittsburgh Pirates made an exchange on July 29 that will bring a young, controllable starter to Boston. The Red Sox have traded No. 6 prospect Nick Yorke to the Pirates in exchange for Quinn Priester, a righty starter and 2019 first-round pick. Priester has pitched to a 5.04 ERA with 31 strikeouts and 13 walks in 44.2 innings this year. He's a 6.46 ERA pitcher across both his...

Pirates Draft Signings: Second-Rounder Wyatt Sanford
The Pittsburgh Pirates have signed their second-round draft Wyatt Sanford, who was taken with the 47th pick. Sanford, an infielder out of Independence High School in Texas, was rated as MLB Pipeline’s 35th-best prospect available in this year’s draft. He was named a second-team All-American during his senior season and was recognized as the Defensive Player of the Year in in District 10-5A. The surehanded Sanford projects to be a strong defender at shortstop at the next level due to his range, athleticism and above-average arm. According to Pipeline’s scouting report, he has the ability to play a number of different positions...
