The Yankees acquired Jazz Chisholm Jr. from the Marlins on Saturday, it was announced. Miami is receiving three prospects, including catcher Agustin Ramirez.
The Phillies bolstered an already strong bullpen, acquiring closer Carlos Estevez from the Angels for top pitching prospects George Klassen and Samuel Aldegheri.
The Las Vegas Raiders fired the first shot in the Great Kermit The Frog Puppet War of ‘24 (although, saying “Kermit The Frog Puppet” is redundant; he is a puppet), and now it’s time for the man with the froggiest voice in football — Patrick Mahomes — to issue his response.
If you missed it, early this week, it appeared that some Raiders were busy rounding up a Kermit puppet and a wig instead of studying their playbook, and it still gave us this instantly viral moment.
Don’t look now, but the New York Mets are hot.
The Mets have been the best team in the National League since July 1, going 14-7 to surge to the top of the NL Wild Card table. Beyond the record, there were reasons to expect the Mets to improve even further, thanks to the return of starting pitcher Kodai Senga.
Senga was one of the few bright spots in the Mets’ dismal 2023 season, putting up a 2.98 ERA with nearly 11 strikeouts per nine innings and 3.4 WAR, per Fangraphs. But Senga started 2024 on the injured list thanks to a posterior capsule strain.

High jumper Gianmarco Tamberi — who famously split the gold with Qatar’s Mutaz Essa Barshim at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics — was given the honor of being his nation’s flag bearer during Friday’s opening ceremony, but perhaps that flag waving got a little too vigorous, and it led to Tamberi’s wedding ring flying off his finger and into the river.
The 2024 Paris Olympics are officially underway. Here’s what is happening on Day 1 of the Games.
How much money are you going to be making over the next four years? If you’re Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love, that answer is $220 million.
Yup, you read that right. After his first full season in which he barely got the Packers into the playoffs, Green Bay made Love one of the highest-paid players in NFL history. (If I could go back in time and tell my younger self what career path to take, I wouldn’t hesitate to tell him he should be a quarterback).
Now that Love has got his massive pay day, that means that the 2020 quarterback class has raked in some serious cash.
