The Seattle Mariners added Outfielder Randy Arozarena to their roster in exchange for multiple prospects. Seattle is in the middle of a losing skid but they are still in first place and looking to increase their chances of having a productive post-season run. The Mariners have a horrible offense and are in desperate need of some pop in their lineup. Arozarena started the season slow but has picked it up a lot since the start of June, adding his dynamic 5-tool presence to the struggling Seattle offense is a huge opportunity to address a need. The Mariners gave up OF Aidan Smith, RHP…

Team USA has taken home the gold at mens 5×5 Basketball event four the past 4 years straight, also taking 7 of of 8 since the 1992 dream team took the world by storm and literally made the game international.

The only finish lower than gold in the modern era was the 2004 team taking the bronze, which led to the recruitment of Kobe Bryant and a sea change in the culture and seriousness…

Yankee star Aaron Judge was limited because the Mets simply chose not to pitch to him as he was walked four times. The Yankees weakness is clearly the inability to put a threat behind Judge in the lineup right now. They simply…

Shockingly, the team they play for is not real title contender.That’s right. The two players dominating the world stage on a roster made up of the very best players available are teammates, but not for a contender…How is this even possible? You’d have to ask Los Angeles Lakers leadership about that. Somehow, since the bizarre dismantling of their title winning team in 2020, owner…

Jets’ wide receiver Garrett Wilson was overjoyed at the prospect of the beleaguered franchise adding Las Vegas Raiders wideout Davante Adams. Adams was also a teammate of Jets quarterback Aaron Rogers during their Green Bay Packer days where they formed a strong offensive duo for seven seasons. Of course, Rogers has yet to have an impact for the Jets himself, but is also vocal about wanting Adams on his side once more. He has been making efforts to recruit Adams and give the Jets a shot to contend for a playoff berth. The 7-10 season last year was a massive let down, even by…

This included 2 of 5 shots from three (his first makes from that distance this summer). The younger James has already shown his propensity to play defense picking up steals, blocks, deflections and rebounds throughout his summer league start. Being the son of one of the greatest and most scrutinized players of all time immediately put a harsh spotlight on Bronny. From claims that he was undeserving of…
