Almost universally, All-Star-caliber players were once the best at every aspect of baseball. Eventually, they all need to make a decision.

Veteran free agent point guard John Wall is planning on holding a private workout for multiple teams Sunday in Las Vegas, according to a report from Bleacher Report’s Chris Haynes.
Wall, the former No. 1 overall pick of the 2010 NBA Draft, most recently averaged 11.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 5.2 assists in 34 games for the Clippers last season. The five-time NBA All-Star, who has also played for the Rockets and Wizards during his career, has averaged 18.7 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 8.9 assists over 11 NBA seasons.
NBA fans hoping to see a Summer League battle between No. 1 pick Victor Wembanyama and No. 3 selection Scoot Henderson will have to wait a while longer.
While the Trail Blazers are set to take on the Spurs on Sunday, Portland will reportedly be taking the court without Henderson, who will be sidelined due to an injury he sustained during his debut on Friday, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes.
Henderson suffered a shoulder injury during the Trail Blazers’ first Summer League game before exiting Friday’s game against the Rockets during the third quarter and not returning.
For every athlete, there’s got to be that moment where they go Danny Glover and something makes them realize that they’re “getting too old for this s–t.” For Richard Sherman, that was when he had to cover
Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith.
Sherman was one of the league’s top cornerbacks (and a world-class trash-talker), especially during his time in Seattle. After a few years in San Francisco, Sherman played one last season in 2021 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after which he called it a career, hung up his cleats, and picked up a mic.
Cody Bellinger is having a resurgent 2023 season for the Chicago Cubs.
And it’s making him the target of potential trade rumors at the upcoming Major League Baseball deadline.
Bellinger previously played at an MVP level, winning the award in 2019 for the Los Angeles Dodgers. But the 27-year-old bizarrely struggled in the proceeding years.
His 2021 season was exceptionally bad; Bellinger hit .165/.240/.302, good for just a 47 wRC+.
2022 wasn’t much better. Bellinger was 17% worse than league average on offense, though he did contribute his customary exceptional defense.
“Please don’t throw him the ball.
Jordan Lawlar, Spencer Jones, Jackson Merrill and other prospects reflected Saturday on their first favorite MLB stars.
Despite not reaching a conference title game so far in his seven-year career, the quarterback of America’s team appears to be itching for a championship as he heads into his eighth season with the Dallas Cowboys.
The 2016 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, who has led Dallas to four playoff appearances four times, turns 30 later this month. Nick Eatman of DallasCowboys.com bluntly asked the two-time Pro Bowl selection: “does turning 30 make it even more urgent for you to win?”
“One thousand percent,” said Prescott.
The NBA is set to debut its first-ever in-season tournament during the 2023–24 campaign.
On Saturday, the league hosted the 2023 NBA In-Season Tournament Launch, during which they released additional information regarding the details of the competition.
The tournament will consist of all 30 NBA teams, eight of which will advance to the knockout stages and compete for the NBA Cup. In the first stage, known as Group Play, teams will be divided into six groups, three per conference, with division not playing a role in determining the groups.
Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz continues to show that he’s a force to be reckoned with anywhere on the field, including the basepaths.
On Saturday, the Reds rookie had a sudden onse kleptomania and stole every single base he possibly could in just two pitches.
Cincinnati was on the road in Milwaukee, and with the Reds up 6-5 in the top of the 7th inning, De La Cruz stole second.
Then, he caught the Brewers sleeping and scampered his way to third base. It certainly helped that the Brewers couldn’t be bothered to have anyone cover third base, but no less impressive.
