Juan Soto is not returning to the New York Yankees.
That’s what my fellow Yanks fans need to start telling themselves as the Soto Sweepstakes continues with the star outfielder making his rounds while getting wined and dined by every baseball team that could possibly afford the 26-year-old and his expected massive contract.
Of course, the Yankees will be contenders for Soto and will pay lip service to not only him, but perhaps even more importantly, a frustrated Yankees fan base. That’s what being worth $7.8 billion as a franchise allows one to do.

The 76ers terrible season keeps getting worse with the latest report about Joel Embiid.
The Philadelphia 76ers were supposed to be a championship contender after signing Paul George to a four-year max contract in free agency. George joined 2023 NBA MVP Joel Embiid and rising star Tyrese Maxey for a tailor-made ‘big three’ pairing that felt destined to be a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference.
One month into the season, the 76ers are the worst team in the NBA.

Our insiders answer one big question surrounding the league’s top contenders, including what’s at stake for high-profile teams.
It’s unusual for an NFL general manager to be fired in-season, but it’s also hard for a GM to have six losing seasons with no playoff appearances and keep his job. Meet former New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas, who just addressed both scenarios.
The Jets on Tuesday fired Douglas, an NFL source confirmed to OutKick.
SNYtv in New York was first to report the move.
The club has named former Cleveland Browns GM Phil Savage as the interim general manager, per a source.
And club owner Woody Johnson making these moves is not exactly a surprise.

Necas has been on fire and anyone in the NHL could have had him.
We’re almost 20 games into the NHL regular season and nobody has been a bigger surprise than Martin Necas of the Carolina Hurricanes. The 25-year-old center is on a heater, with 11 goals and 19 assists in 17 games, ranking third in the league in points scored, and he’s got 21 points in his last 10 for good measure.
A Necas breakout season isn’t that surprising in isolation. He’s routinely shown flashes that he could become a top flight forward.

The Charlotte 49ers fired head football coach Biff Poggi after the team fell to 3-7 following a 59-24 loss to South Florida over the weekend. The report of his firing came on Monday, yet on Tuesday, Poggi made his way to Charlotte’s practice.
While some may have assumed Charlotte players weren’t on great terms with Poggi given their record and the fact that the team is riding a four-game losing streak, that doesn’t appear to be the case at all.
As Poggi made his way onto the field on Tuesday, the entire team ran over to their now-former head coach to show him some love.

Taking after Charley Hull, Lexi Thompson is sick and tired of the slow pace of play on the LPGA.
Following her runner-up finish to Nelly Korda at last week’s ANNIKA driven by Gainbridge, Charley Hull sounded off on the biggest issue plaguing the LPGA: slow play.
The Englishwoman provided a “ruthless” solution, saying that a player should lose their card after three violations. Lexi Thompson echoed that sentiment despite categorizing it as “aggressive.
