Yankees 2026 Roster Report Cards: Camilo Doval

The Yankees’ 2026 roster report card gives reliever Camilo Doval an F grade after a disastrous season. Acquired at the 2025 trade deadline, Doval posted a 4.54 ERA and 4.61 FIP over 44 games, with a 10.1% walk rate and a -0.8 rWAR. After a brief early spark, his performance collapsed, culminating in a 4.50 ERA and 7.85 FIP in July, a blown save against the White Sox, and a trade to Pittsburgh on August 1. The Pirates saw a modest 3.79 ERA before designating him for assignment, and Doval finished the year with the Giants. With one arbitration year left, his future remains uncertain.

Sam Amick Says the Warriors Will Listen on Draymond Green at the Deadline, and the Kings Are Reportedly a Fit

Sam Amick told The TK Show that the Golden State Warriors will entertain Draymond Green trade offers at the February 11 deadline, noting the "quiet part" that teams know Green is a negotiable asset. He recalled the Bucks' interest last season and suggested Sacramento, where GM Scott Perry has strong Michigan ties, could be a fit—especially as Green has already mentored guard Darius Acuff. However, Green’s one‑year, $27.7 million contract prevents a trade until Dec. 15, and there’s no indication the Warriors are actively selling. The Kings face the Warriors at Chase Center on Nov. 25.

Sean McVay praises the Rams after they snap a shaky start to the 2026 season with a 20‑13 road win over the Washington Commanders in Week 9, improving to 5‑4. McVay highlighted Matthew Stafford’s poise following a turnover and praised the gutsy drive that culminated in a seven‑yard touchdown to Puka Nacua, followed by Brandon McManus’s extra point.

Colin Kaepernick “Open” to Running for Political Office Nearly a Decade After His Last NFL Game

Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick says he is open to pursuing political office if it maximizes his social impact. Speaking at the Atlantic Festival in New York, he confirmed that friends and supporters have asked about a campaign and that he will consider any viable path to affect change. Kaepernick, who last played in the NFL in January 2017 and later settled a collusion grievance, has focused on civil‑rights advocacy, his best‑selling memoir ‘The Perilous Fight,’ and the Know Your Rights Camp. Now, after revising his 2016 stance on voting, he views a run for office as another way to serve communities, though he notes the unique challenges ahead.

NBA rumors: Warriors insider clearly trying to make Nikola Jokic leaving Nuggets a thing

Warriors insider Tim Kawakami is fanning fresh speculation that Denver star Nikola Jokić could leave the Nuggets, despite the Serbian center’s recent statements that he wants to stay. Kawakami told X the NBA veteran’s long‑term extension isn’t guaranteed, and the Warriors are reportedly monitoring the situation. Jokić turned down a four‑year, $278 million offer in the 2026 offseason, eyeing a potential five‑year supermax in 2027, and still holds a $62.8 million player option for 2027‑28. With Denver sitting 5‑4 early this season, the rumor mill heats up, though insiders say the talk may be more smoke than fire.

Warriors HC Steve Kerr actually got exactly what he wanted when Jimmy Butler dressed up as a coach

During the Warriors’ 138-87 rout of the Pelicans, injured Miami star Jimmy Butler missed the game but turned heads by strolling onto the court dressed in a replica Warriors coaching uniform, clipboard in hand. Head coach Steve Kerr revealed he had jokingly suggested the idea minutes before tip‑off, only to see Butler appear in the same attire—what Kerr called a moment of “mental telepathy.” The cameo comes as Butler recovers from a torn ACL that ended his 2025‑26 season, and while he remains sidelined, his off‑court antics keep fans entertained.

NBA Round Up: Warriors Star Sent for MRI, Wemby Joins Shaq in Historic Feat, James Harden Under Scrutiny & More

Meanwhile, Victor Wembanyama joins Shaquille O’Neal as the only player in the past 50 seasons to average 29‑12‑3 through ten games, pouring 40 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocks in a 122-96 win over the Suns and fueling early MVP chatter. James Harden draws criticism after a lazy defensive play in Cleveland’s 124-112 loss to Charlotte, finishing with just 11 points. Luka Dončić (45 PPG) and Jalen Brunson (27.7 PPG) earn Week 3 conference honors.

Warriors’ Steve Kerr, Yaxel Lendeborg share reactions to ‘Coach’ Jimmy Butler’s attire

During the Warriors’ 138-87 rout of the New Orleans Pelicans, injured star Jimmy Butler stole the sideline spotlight by dressing like a coach—grey sweater, black pants, clipboard—and repeatedly urging teammates to "Pass to Steph." Rookie Yaxel Lendeborg and veteran De’Anthony Melton reacted with amusement, while head coach Steve Kerr praised Butler’s humor but noted the mockery. Butler, still rehabbing a torn ACL, used the moment to boost morale and share tips with younger players, highlighting his leadership off the court as he works toward a return.

“Feels Like Home: Jordan Poole Opens Doors For Warriors Return as Bad Blood With Draymond Green Continuous

Jordan Poole says the Golden State Warriors still feel like home and says “yes” to a possible return, even as he finishes his final season with New Orleans before hitting unrestricted free agency in summer 2027. He recalls the 2022 championship, the bitter 2023 trade after a physical altercation with Draymond Green, and a recent Chase Center visit where he reunited with Stephen Curry while Green’s tension lingered. Green later remarks he has no issue with Poole coming back. With a $34 million salary this season and a four‑year, $128 million contract ending, Poole’s future role and value remain up for negotiation.

Warriors’ Steve Kerr expresses ‘big concern’ for Brandon Williams ahead of MRI

Steve Kerr warns that backup guard Brandon Williams’ left‑hamstring injury is a "big concern" after he left the first quarter of Golden State’s 138‑87 win over New Orleans. Williams, who averages 10.4 points and 2.3 assists in 10 games, will undergo an MRI, and his status for the upcoming five‑game road trip is uncertain. The Warriors already miss Jimmy Butler, Moses Moody, Kristaps Porzingis and now face a possible loss of reserve Will Richard to a thumb injury, leaving them with just ten active players. De’Anthony Melton expressed how much Williams’ speed and leadership mean to the team.

Starting tight end Jake Ferguson and running back Tyler Goodson are ruled out for multiple weeks, while backup PJ Locke also misses the game. The team’s depth at RB is thin after Goodson’s knee issue, and the defense will need to step up without these starters.

“I’m Not Gonna Cash My Check”: Steve Young Left 16 Paychecks Worth Millions Sitting in a Drawer Before Reluctantly Giving In for 49ers Audit

Former 49ers quarterback Steve Young admits he let 16 paychecks—estimated at about $4 million—collect dust in a drawer while he was benched, refusing to cash them out of pride. The unpaid checks resurfaced only after the team’s general manager, Carmen Policy, flagged a tax issue, prompting Young to retrieve the slips from teammate Harris Barton’s apartment. Young later reflected on the incident during an In Depth interview with Graham Bensinger, noting his off‑season law school pursuits and the irony given his post‑NFL private‑equity career. The story highlights Young’s early struggles behind Joe Montana, his 1994 Super Bowl win, two MVPs, and a later successful business life.

4 quarterbacks Vikings must target before trade deadline to keep Super Bowl dreams alive

With the NFL trade deadline looming, the Minnesota Vikings must act to fix a quarterback crisis that threatens their Super Bowl chances. After a 6‑0 start, injuries to Kyler Murray and a poor outing from Carson Wentz have left the offense fragile, highlighted by an 81‑yard, two‑interception loss to Buffalo. The team is eyeing four possible QBs: familiar veteran Kirk Cousins (Raiders), system‑compatible backup Mac Jones (49ers), mobile former practice‑squad member Daniel Jones (Colts), and downfield threat Geno Smith (Jets). Each option offers a different blend of familiarity, fit, and production, but all require significant draft compensation. Minnesota can’t afford to stand pat if it wants to keep its championship window open.
