Loyalty in baseball is not that common. The sport has always been a business, and players move. Free agency, trades, and roster rebuilds scatter careers across cities and uniforms in ways that make staying with a single team for an entire career something close to a miracle.
The players on this list never wore another jersey. They grew up in one city’s system, became stars in one city’s ballpark, and retired having given every at-bat, every pitch, and every season to the same organization that signed them. Some of them played through bad teams and worse contracts without asking to leave.

As the 2027 summer scouting report series rolls on, we stay in the secondary and transition to safeties. While this position group may not be as loaded as cornerback, there is good value to be had. One of those value players in question is Alabama’s Keon Sabb. Sabb played his first year at Michigan, helping them win a National Championship, before transferring to Alabama in 2024.
What does his report look like? Let’s talk about it.
Height: 6’1″
Weight: 204 lbs
Recruiting rank: Four-star recruit, no.
The New Orleans Saints and Las Vegas Raiders have played one of the most evenly balanced series on New Orleans’ schedule. The Raiders hold a narrow all-time edge, but the matchup has shifted back and forth enough over the years that no team has taken control. Their 2026 meeting holds extra weight since former Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak will return to the Caesars Superdome — this time as the Raiders’ head coach.
Las Vegas got the best of New Orleans in the most recent meeting, which was in 2024.

We asked for your views on whether Chelsea would be better off having a season without European football next season under new manager Xabi Alonso.
Here are some of your comments:
Kevin: I’d rather miss Europe for the year and give Alonso the chance to bed his team and style down. One game a week hasn’t done Manchester United any harm and I hope we could do same.
Graham: As much as it is important financially for the club to have European football next season, players are not machines and they need a proper rest.
New Delhi: The last time Yashasvi Jaiswal played an ODI for India, he scored a match-winning 116 not out against South Africa. It was only his fourth match in the format, and he was playing because captain Shubman Gill was unfit. When Gill returned, Jaiswal returned to the bench and is now out of the squad for the three-ODI series against Afghanistan, starting June 13.
Jaiswal’s omission from the ODI squad has hardly created any noise, and chief selector Ajit Agarkar subtly mentioned him when asked about Vaibhav Sooryavanshi.
Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report recently offered a one-sentence dream scenario for every NFL team entering 2026, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ projection centered around a massive season from Baker Mayfield.
The prediction suggested that a career-best year from Mayfield could help push Tampa Bay toward a deep playoff run, largely because the Buccaneers still possess a roster capable of competing if the quarterback position reaches another level.
That outlook says a lot about how Mayfield is viewed nationally entering the season.
The USMNT announces its final 26-man soccer World Cup roster on May 26 in New York, and the biggest storyline is not the veterans. It is how many young American players are genuinely in contention to make their first World Cup squad on home soil.
