The movement on these pitches!
The start of the 2023 MLB season is quickly approaching, which means we’re very close to another year of watching pitchers throwing some absolutely nasty pitches with so much movement that make us wonder how anyone can even get a hit in MLB. 
One of those pitchers is Chicago Cubs right-hander Hayden Wesneski. The 25 year old is battling to be the fifth starter for the Cubs and his final start of the spring on Thursday should have locked that spot up for him.

The ex-Eagles and Patriots receiver has landed in Baltimore as a new weapon for the offense.
The Ravens are signing former Eagles and Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor to a one-year deal, according to Jordan Schultz of The Score.
The deal will be for one year for $3.25 million, per ESPN, and could be worth up to $6.25 million, Schultz reports. Schultz notes that Agholor will reunite with Tee Martin, who was Agholor’s college wide receivers coach at USC and Greg Lewis, who was his wide receivers coach in Philadelphia.

Cy Young winners Max Scherzer, Sandy Alcantara, Jacob deGrom, Shane Bieber, Corbin Burnes, Blake Snell, Corey Kluber and Zack Greinke are slated for Opening Day.

Receiver Nelson Agholor, who spent the past two seasons with the Patriots, has reached a one-year deal with the Ravens, sources told ESPN.

Dave Dombrowski said the Phillies plan on Rhys Hoskins missing the season and that Darick Hall would get the majority of time at first base.

The former cornerback believes the precedent was not set properly.
As Lamar Jackson’s contract saga rolls on, the NFL industry continues to discuss how it is possible that a 26 year-old former MVP remains available, after the Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on him. The quarterback’s reported desire to land a close-to fully guaranteed deal appears to be a turn off to the majority of teams.
While some people may think Jackson’s asking price is too high, Richard Sherman chose to defend Jackson.

If the draft plays out like SI’s latest mock, here’s what that means from a fantasy perspective.
The NFL offseason has gotten off to a fun start, and it’s not close to being over!
Derek Carr, Jimmy Garoppolo, David Montgomery, Miles Sanders, Brandin Cooks, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Darren Waller (among others) will be wearing different uniforms, and we’re still waiting on a potential blockbuster trade between the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers involving future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers.

TNF matchups featuring teams with losing records could become a thing of the past.
NFL fans, as well as more specifically fantasy football managers, cross your fingers as a vote could make Thursday Night football a more viable and attractive option starting next season.
According to a report in the Sports Business Journal, NFL owners will vote on a new flex plan for Thursday night games during next week’s league meeting.
As we all know, the highlighted primetime games have often served up sloppy, low-scoring affairs between bad teams.

The Memphis women’s basketball player who was caught sucker-punching a Bowling Green player going through the teams’ handshake line on Thursday night has officially been charged with assault.
Following Bowling Green State’s 73-60 win over the Tigers in the women’s NIT game, Memphis fifth-year senior Jamirah Shutes was seen exchanging words with BGSU’s Elissa Brett. Shutes then threw a punch which resulted in Brett hitting the floor and Memphis staff having to pull Shutes out of the fray.
