Of all the free agent announcements made over the last couple days, none have hit harder than Klay Thompson's decision to join the Dallas Mavericks on a three-year, $50 million deal. It's the end of an era, truly, for the Golden State Warriors. Thompson was a cornerstone for basketball's great modern dynasty. He was supposed to retire in San Francisco and watch his jersey ascend to the Chase Center rafters.

The Los Angeles Lakers struggled to find any traction in 2023. While there is no questioning the greatness of Anthony Davis and LeBron James, the rest of the roster never stepped up. This offseason, the Lakers are reportedly aggressively trying to add another star, but any championship roster is defined by the pieces around those stars. The Lakers re-signed one of those pieces today. Guard Max Christie is coming back to the team on a four-year deal.

In a season where many things are going right for the Philadelphia Phillies, it has, unfortunately, been anything but for one of the members of the bullpen. Luis Ortiz was looking to hold on to a spot in the Phillies bullpen this season, but his injury woes significantly derailed that plan. He appeared in just one game during the Opening Weekend series against the Atlanta Braves, spraining his ankle. He pitched in five games in the minors during rehab but was delayed due to right shoulder inflammation and was then shut down with forearm discomfort.
