It has been nearly seven years since Manchester United broke the world record transfer fee for a defender to sign Harry Maguire from Leicester City.

The Pittsburgh Pirates are teeming with young, talented pitching. From Paul Skenes and Bubba Chandler to Braxton Ashcraft and Jared Jones, the Pirates are loaded with dynamic arms.
Pittsburgh ranked seventh in ERA last year, and it’s easy to see why. The team has more pitching than it knows what to do with.
Dan Plesac, a three-time All-Star who pitched two seasons for the Pirates in the mid-1990s, is particularly impressed by Pittsburgh’s starting rotation. He likes it so much that he recently compared it to a famous National League dynasty on MLB Network.

Alijah Arenas sunk into a folding chair, his face buried in a towel, his breathing heavy.
For the last few days, smack dab in the middle of his long-awaited breakthrough at USC, Arenas had gotten sick. He’d spent the last few days worn down, leaving his status for Wednesday night’s marquee matchup with No. 10 Illinois uncertain.

Sahibzada Farhan etched his name into the record books with a maiden T20I century during Pakistan’s T20 World Cup 2026 Group A clash against Namibia on Wednesday. However, while the milestone was significant, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan was not entirely impressed with how the opener approached the closing moments of the innings.
Farhan reached his hundred in the penultimate over but did so in a manner that raised eyebrows. On the second ball of the 20th over, he calmly pushed the delivery towards long-on for a single to bring up the landmark.

The experienced batter, long seen as one of Pakistan’s leading run-scorers, has struggled for form in the competition. On X and other platforms, fans have questioned why he has not made an impact, even when opportunities might have arisen earlier in the tournament.
The 31-year-old had originally been picked as a fail-safe option.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Wearing a protective boot earlier this week, Arkansas star Darius Acuff Jr. snapped back when coach John Calipari asked if he was going to miss Wednesday night’s game at Alabama.
