MLB rumors: Mariners emerge as potential trade suitor for Red Sox’s Aroldis Chapman

The Seattle Mariners may be just 39-37 overall this season, but they still lead the lackluster American League West division. Seattle would still love to further improve its roster before the trade deadline. Cal Raleigh recently returned from injury which feels like a trade acquisition in all reality, but the Mariners still have work to […] The post MLB rumors: Mariners emerge as potential trade suitor for Red Sox’s Aroldis Chapman appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Japanese Brands Are Taking Over Los Angeles Sports

When Mark Walter acquired majority control of the Los Angeles Lakers in 2025, the focus was on the sale itself: a record valuation and the close of a decades-long chapter under the Buss family. Walter’s track record, which he brought with him from the Los Angeles Dodgers, was not as discussed. Over the last decade, […] The post Japanese Brands Are Taking Over Los Angeles Sports appeared first on The Lead .

Yankees Hoping To Add Right-Handed-Hitting Catcher

Recent Mike Trout news comes at worst time for Angels

Few players in MLB history have been as consistently dominant as Mike Trout. Since arriving in the league, Trout has been one of Major League Baseball’s premier stars, putting together a Hall of Fame-caliber career while establishing himself as the…

Luke Weaver and the Mets’ bullpen continue to get it done

The New York Mets’ bullpen has been a stable force for an otherwise disappointing club, and Thursday night in Philadelphia was no different. Led by Luke Weaver’s continued scoreless inning streak and another save from Devin Williams, the bullpen backed up starter Sean Manaea to secure a 6-4 victory. The win was an example of […]

Should the Phillies Join the Bunt Parade?

I bought a pocket radio recently. Although it’s posed a few problems (reception for my favorite station is a bit shaky), it’s been a real joy to have it. It really doesn’t offer any advantages over streaming the stations digitally, but there’s something charming about it, a tactile satisfaction in tuning it manually and hearing […]

Cubs roster move: Moisés Ballesteros optioned, Justin Dean recalled

Moisés Ballesteros had an excellent start to his 2026 season, serving mostly as the Cubs designated hitter. Over his first 25 games this year, “Mo Baller” batted .387/.435/.710 (24-for-62) with five doubles, five home runs, 16 RBI and 12 runs scored. Unfortunately, he then went into an extended slump. Since that great start he’s batting […]

Shakur Stevenson weight provides food for thought on where he may fight

The surpising Shakur Stevenson weight recently he shared on social medi brings up more questions than answers. Stevenson recently stepped up to 140 pounds in the super-lightweight division in a career best performance to outpoint Teofimo Lopez by wide UD decision on points. Afterwards he said that he was going back down in weight after […] The post Shakur Stevenson weight provides food for thought on where he may fight appeared first on Boxing News and Views .

Why not another year of Eugenio Suárez?!

This week’s MLB Reacts question may well feature a classic case of striking while the iron is hot. Maybe, just maybe, we’ll look back on it later as an example of being irrationally exuberant at precisely the wrong time. Either way, this week we got some pretty definitive results! On Tuesday, we laid out the […]

South Side Sox Reacts: The White Sox … win the World Series?!?

Writer error (yeah, Brett’s wearing this one) prevented the issuance of our customary White Sox question this week (it concerned the area on the roster to strengthen at the trade deadline), so we’ll table it for a week from now. But that doesn’t mean you didn’t get your national surveys this week, with some fun […]

What will Romy Gonzalez’s role be for the Red Sox?

Romy Gonzalez began a rehab assignment at Double-A on Tuesday. Prior to the season, I outlined the impact of Romy Gonzalez’s injury, combined with the Red Sox letting Rob Refsnyder go to Seattle. I worried that the lineup would struggle against left-handers without both of them. I should have also added that the lineup would […]

Blue Jays rumors: Toronto willing to take on more salary at trade deadline

Heading into Friday, the Toronto Blue Jays’ 37-38 record has them nine games out of the AL East but currently in a tie for the third Wild Card spot. The franchise knows they’ll need a bit more firepower to go on another deep playoff run. The Blue Jays’ $282.5 million payroll is third-highest in MLB, […] The post Blue Jays rumors: Toronto willing to take on more salary at trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .

Friday roundup: NC may earmark $700m for stadium for imaginary MLB team, Steelers could seek upgrade on “expiring” 25-year-old home

Before we get to this week’s news roundup, some old business from last week: I shamefully forgot to give a shoutout to John Mozena for his outstanding liveblog of the stadium-related papers at University of Maryland-Baltimore County’s annual sports economics conference after I was unable to attend. Please check out John’s work at the Center […]
