Since the White Sox acquired him at the end of July, Miguel Vargas has been worse than Martín Maldonado offensively. That is not a typo. Following the team’s 100th loss of the season on Sunday, Vargas’ stats with the White Sox sit at an anemic .097 batting average and .370 OPS. For reference, Maldonado was hitting .119 with a .403 OPS when he was designated for assignment in mid-July. It is one thing for a player to struggle, but Vargas has been awful in his stint with the White Sox. His struggles are becoming a significant problem with no clear fix.

The Los Angeles Dodgers made a tough decision this week when they designated Jason Heyward for assignment, and it sounds like the veteran outfielder is taking it quite hard. Heyward became the odd man out in L.A. when Chris Taylor returned from a groin injury he suffered last month. On Saturday, Dodgers slugger Freddie Freeman...

This season, Mark Vientos has been the breakout player and a must-watch attraction for the New York Mets. Vientos has exploded with his power and average, doing things the Mets never knew he could. In only 80 games played, Vientos would lead nine out of the thirty teams in home runs.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another installment of Last Word On College Football preseason predictions. We’ve already covered the ACC, Big 12, and Big 10 which leaves one league. Of course, it’s the SEC where “It just means more.” As you are well aware Oklahoma and Texas joined the league for 2024. With that, the divisions are no more. This is the first time since 1991 that there won’t be divisions in the league. Under the new setup, the top two teams meet in Atlanta on December 7th to see who gets the bid to the College Football Playoff. We asked our writers to rank the schools 1-16 and let’s start counting them down from first to worst with our Last Word 2023 SEC Predictions.

SAN DIEGO — The Mets needed five outs Sunday to finish what had been a good few days in the land of perfect weather and gain in the wild-card race on two of the three teams ahead of them.

It was all going smoothly until Jose Butto walked No. 9 hitter Matt McCoy in the eighth. 

Moments later, Butto was watching Jurickson Profar circle the bases, having flushed the Mets’ lead with a two-run blast.

The late-inning meltdown ended with Edwin Diaz walking off the mound with his head down, after Jackson Merrill’s ninth-inning blast rocketed into the right field seats and...

After signing him to a standard contract last season, the New Orleans Pelicans have waived small forward Matt Ryan. The 27-year-old spent the entirety of last season in the Pelicans’ organization. In 27 games played with the team, Ryan averaged 5.4 points and 1.4 rebounds. Additionally, he shot 43.4% from the field and 45.1% from behind the three-point line.

The Los Angeles Lakers are in an interesting spot right now. Despite making a Western Conference Finals appearance in 2023, they took a step back last season. Even though they had a 47-35 record, a four-game improvement from the 2022-23 season, they lost to the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs. They made some big moves, such as re-signing LeBron James to a two-year contract and hiring JJ Redick as their next head coach. However, outside of that, the team did very little to get closer to championship contention. Their core is likely set in stone and will be until James leaves the team or retires. Because of this, the Lakers will eventually have to focus on their post-James plans. However, according to The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor, they have the exact player they want to build around–Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic.

NBA: Best Point Guards Remaining In Free Agency

As the 2024 NBA offseason continues, the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in a familiar situation—searching for the right pieces to complement their superstar duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. With the departure of Spencer Dinwiddie to the Dallas Mavericks in free agency, the Lakers need another ball handler and a point-of-attack defender at the guard position. One intriguing option for the Lakers who remains on the free-agent market is former first overall pick Markelle Fultz.

Lakers Should Take A Flyer On Former 1st Overall Pick

Miami, FL

As the embers of a hot summer cool off, former sixth overall pick Danilo Gallinari remains unsigned. At 36 years old and far removed from his prime, many are thinking the Italian forward will return to his home country to continue his career. Not only does Gallinari have experience with Olimpia Milano, the premier team in Italy, players at this stage in their careers often begin to look for opportunities abroad. For example, 36-year-old Patrick Beverley eschewed NBA offers to sign with Hapoel Tel Aviv. The primary impetus for his move was the chance to have an expanded scoring role.
