Philadelphia Flyers set to lose another top goaltender for nothing
Despite joining their AHL team in 2023/24, it appears as though the Flyers are on the verge of losing yet another promising prospect. The Philadelphia Flyers goaltending situation hasn't been going well in the past few years, so when Alexei Kolosov, a former third-round pick came to the AHL to join the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in 2023/24, confidence was high that he could be an NHLer of the future.

Phillies Trade Candidates Narrowing as Deadline Approaches
A new report by USA Today’s Bob Nightengale details the Philadelphia Phillies’ narrowing options for trade candidates. This comes as the July 30 trade deadline is quickly approaching. It has been widely reported that the Phillies want a right-handed outfield bat to platoon with Brandon Marsh in left field. This is because Marsh struggles against left-handed pitching. In 49 at-bats against left-handed pitchers this season, he has a .378 OPS and a 10 wRC+. Some of the names mentioned by other reporters for this role were ruled out by Nightengale. While Matt Gelb of The Athletic has stated that team control is not a factor, someone on an expiring contract is likely to fill this role.
