The Oakland A’s have had a rough go of it so far this season, with small crowds at home games and a league-worst 18 losses. This comes after a dreadful 2022 season that saw them win just 60 games.

Outfielder Connor Joe handed out T-shirts emblazoned with the phrase “Good Vibes Only” last week, and his teammates have seemingly taken the message to heart, boosting the energy with all kinds of inspired fun. A home run is now rewarded not just with a pirate-inspired cutlass celebration but also with a custom blazer. The night’s best performer is greeted at his locker with a stuffed Pikachu.

Bobby Taylor plans to return to Texas A&M if the Aggies will have him. He has pulled a 180º.

The  Bills own the 27th pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and according to SI Sportsbook, they are most likely to take a wide receiver (+200), with linebacker (+280) being another likely option in the first round for Buffalo. Taking a wideout would break from the recent trend of drafting a defensive player with their first pick. The Bills have taken a defensive player in the first round in each of the past four drafts (2019-2022). Josh Allen was the last offensive player drafted in the first round for the Bills. Their star signal-caller was selected seventh overall in the 2018 draft.
