MLB’s original Shohei Ohtani sweepstakes found itself consumed by questions of fit.
In the winter of 2017, as Ohtani embarked on the process that ultimately led him to join the Angels, these questions kept popping up alongside the ordinary queries about what a player wants and where he might go. These felt more existential.
Reds prospect Christian Encarnacion-Strand is poised to make his major league debut after being recalled from Triple A. He’s slotted into Cincinnati’s lineup as the No. 7 batter and designated hitter in Monday’s game against the Giants.
But before he even walks on an MLB field for the first time in his career, he’s already made major league history by having the longest name on record in the history of the game.
This is kind of messy for the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants.
The NFL deadline for franchise tag players and their teams to agree on a multi-year contract passed Monday afternoon and neither Josh Jacobs nor Saquon Barkley got deals done.

Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had a season to forget in 2022, missing time due to a thumb injury and struggling with accuracy on the field.
After throwing 15 interceptions last year, tied with the Texans’ Davis Mills for the league high despite appearing in just 12 games, Dallas’s starting signal caller boldly guaranteed he’d throw fewer than 10 picks in 2023, though not everyone seems to be buying what he’s selling.
“I won’t have 10 interceptions this year,” said Prescott.
