The Baltimore Orioles are going to be one of the most fascinating teams to monitor ahead of the July 30 trade deadline. If they want to land someone, they have the ability to do so because of how many elite prospects they have in their farm system. Virtually every rebuilding team would jump at the opportunity to ship out their best players to get these youngsters in return. But, it’s not clear how aggressive the Orioles are going to be. Mike Elias doesn’t want to completely deplete his assets, hoping he can still hold onto some of his top prospects who might…

There is a new regime at Chelsea as Enzo Maresca looks to stamp his mark in his first Premier League season. It feels like a lifetime ago when the Italian replaced Mauricio Pochettino at the Stamford Bridge helm but preparations are in full swing ahead of an important campaign.

This summer, the Blues have signed Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Omari Kellyman, Renato Veiga, Caleb Wiley, Marc Guiu and Tosin Adarabioyo…

Reese, a rookie for the Chicago Sky, impressed in her first All-Star Game appearance, notching a double-double as the WNBA squad upset Team USA.

Initially dismissed by Red Bull sporting director Helmut Marko, the allegation has since taken a new turn, sparking discussions within the team about Verstappen’s pre-race activities. Verstappen’s recent decision to avoid late-night sim races ahead of a Grand Prix provides compelling evidence to support these internal discussions.

Even during Red Bull’s period of dominance, Verstappen was known to openly express his feelings to Lambiase. Although Lambiase said this in jest,…
