The Minnesota Wild’s season may have ended earlier than anyone hoped, but that doesn’t mean they’ll have a quiet offseason. The first couple of weeks haven’t been too crazy, but over the last few days, the Wild have been in the headlines for different reasons. The first was when the Detroit Red Wings’ Dylan Larkin made news for requesting a trade out of Detroit.  The second, which might not be…

The 2026 College World Series begins on Friday at 2 p.m. ET, and it again will have a strong SEC flavor. Five of the eight teams in Omaha are from the SEC. That includes two of the top three favorites — Georgia and Texas — who are +300 and +320, respectively, in the latest 2026 College World Series odds from FanDuel Sportsbook. UNC is the slight +290 favorite, with West Virginia (+700) and Ole…

The World Cup is the latest proof of concept that it’s possible to have grass fields in all 30 NFL stadiums, even the domes. But obstacles remain from keeping it full time. Source link

Though it is not a hard deadline, Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam has said that, one way or another, the team would prefer to settle the future of Giannis Antetokounmpo before the NBA Draft. That approach makes sense. Many of the teams in the market for Antetokounmpo have reasonably high picks in this year’s draft (which is set for June 23-24), and the Bucks would probably like to be able…

Barely more than a month after having a loose body removed from his pitching elbow, two-time reigning Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal will rejoin the Detroit Tigers on Saturday to start against the Guardians, manager A.J.

Mike Brown has high standards for how he wants the New York Knicks to play offense. When they don’t live up to them, he lets them know it. “I talked to our guys, I thought the second half, the ball came to a standstill,” Brown said. “I think you guys all felt it in the second half. The ball didn’t move. Whoever had it was like, ‘ok, let me try to get my own,’ or ‘gimme the ball, gimme the ball,…

The biggest winner of the NFL offseason might be Patrick Mahomes’ bank account. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback landed the largest contract in NFL history this week when he agreed to terms on a revised contract that will add two years to his existing deal.  Thanks to the restructure, Mahomes is now playing under an eight-year, $504.75 million contract. Under the new deal, Mahomes will be…

Bruce Cassidy is desperate to coach again in the NHL. It’s no wonder he’s said he’d be open to any vacancy, including the one in Toronto, where the NHL’s most valuable franchise has taken its time and talked to more than 50 candidates. While there’s no indication the Toronto Maple Leafs have actually reached out to the Vegas Golden Knights for permission to interview him and add Cassidy to a very…

Happy Thursday to the first-place White Sox. The surprising Chicago club currently sits atop the AL Central, half a game ahead of the Cleveland Guardians, marking the first time they’ve been in first place later than the first 11 games of the season since winning the division in 2021.  They are now 36-31, which puts them on pace to win 87 games. Keep in mind, the White Sox lost 101 games in 2023,…

After winning the Presidents’ Trophy in the 2024-25 season, the Winnipeg Jets underachieved dramatically this season. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck had a down year; they couldn’t replace Nikolaj Ehlers, who signed with the Carolina Hurricanes as a free agent; and the depth disappeared like snow on a hot day. As a result, the Jets are stuck in no-man’s land – not good enough to compete with top…
