The top MLB free agent has found a new landing spot, and it’s the two-time defending champions. After one season with the Chicago Cubs, outfielder Kyle Tucker has agreed to a deal with the Dodgers, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
The Cubs extended a qualifying offer to Tucker in early November, which he declined. As a result, Chicago will receive draft-pick compensation for the outfielder.

The Mets have swung and missed on star free agent outfielder Kyle Tucker, who is signing with the Dodgers.
With Tucker now in tow, Los Angeles will likely have four MVP candidates hitting consecutively in their lineup — Tucker, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman. 
In addition to the Mets and Dodgers, the Blue Jays had been heavily connected to Tucker.
The Mets had reportedly extended a four-year offer to Tucker worth roughly $50 million annually. 
Tucker, who turns 29 years old later this week, was the biggest name available in this year’s free agent class.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby scored one of Pittsburgh’s three power-play goals and the Penguins beat the Philadelphia Flyers 6-3 on Thursday night.
Crosby also had an assist to become the eighth player in NHL history with at least 19 50-point seasons. Crosby, who reached 50 for the sixth consecutive season, has points in 29 of his last 34 games against the Flyers.

We are officially into the new year and need your help to decide our men’s player of week for Jan. 5-11 by voting in the poll below.
Here are our top five men’s candidates and a recap of their outstanding performances from across week nine of the college basketball season.
Derek Simpson (Saint Joseph’s)
It’s been a roller coaster ride on Hawk Hill this season with a new head coach joining weeks before the season, an up-and-down start to the campaign and the departure of Deuce Jones II.

This game looked like it was defense-optional in the opening frame, but it turned into a blow-for-blow heavyweight battle by the end. The Huskers fell to 14-4 (3-4 in the Big Ten) and Michigan State improved to 18-1 (6-1 in the Big Ten). Nebraska was lead by Amiah Hargrove and Britt Prince in scoring with 21 and 16 points respectively. The stats tell of a game that was extremely even, but the one number that stood out is paint points. The Spartans scored 46 compared to Nebraska’s 34.
This Nebraska team is very different than recent Amy Williams squads.

New York Mets owner Steve Cohen decided to give fans in Flushing the ultimate tease on Thursday, posting a cryptic tweet amid a high-stakes pursuit for big-name free agents. 
During what has felt like a not-so-Amazin’ dry spell this offseason, the billionaire’s social media activity sent the fanbase into a tailspin.
The big fish on the Mets’ radar has been star outfielder Kyle Tucker. Fans have been monitoring every flight path and rumor, and Cohen seemingly winked at the crowd this afternoon after going full “Conclave” with his messaging.
