How many outfielders is too many outfielders to possibly squeeze into the major league roster picture at once? The Orioles, with this week’s signing of Ramón Laureano, have got a lot of people thinking that one possible resolution of what is now an apparent jam is that somebody is going to get traded. The O’s still seem to need a top-of-the-rotation starting pitcher and there could maybe stand to be some more certainty in the bullpen too. This is not just a thought process playing out solely among Orioles fans. Elsewhere on the SB Nation MLB network, our friends at…
The winter window has given Milan new life, both from an environmental point of view and on the field too, something Sergio Conceicao wishes to use. As MilanNews recall, the Rossoneri beat Roma 3-1 in the quarter-finals of the Coppa Italia thanks to a brace from Tammy Abraham, but it was Santi Gimenez’s assist for Joao Felix’s goal that really got the excitement bubbling given both were making their debut. All of this obviously made Conceicao happy, which he did not try and hide after the game: “I am very satisfied and happy with the fans: on Wednesday with the…
As the records will show, AC Milan’s last signing of the January 2025 mercato was Riccardo Sottil – even if Joao Felix was announced later. But why did the club fight for the Italian? Milan have regularly done things on the wire this season. For example, the 2-1 against Inter and the 3-2 against Parma. Of course, they have also been victims of the timings too. In the mercato though, they found themselves on the right side of the clock. As the clock reached 11:58 on Monday, February 3, the Rossoneri completed the signing of Sottil from Fiorentina, taking things…
Galatasaray were forced to dig deep with Alvaro Morata leading the way in the absence of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen. Super Lig giants Galatasaray proved their squad depth on Thursday, securing a dominant 4-1 victory against Boluspor in the Cup even without their star Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen. The win marks a big step forward for the Turkish giants in the competition, providing a morale boost as they claimed their first win on Thursday. Boluspor initially threatened an upset, taking an early lead that silenced the home crowd. However, new signing Alvaro Morata quickly emerged as the hero of…
Option 1: Do nothing, let the Washington Commanders or the Detroit Lions trade for Myles Garrett and forget about contending for a Super Bowl any time soon. Option 2: Trade for Myles Garrett. What do you think the 49ers should do? Garrett arguably is the best player in the NFL not named Patrick Mahomes and he just requested a trade this week. Apparently, eight years of playing for the Browns is enough. He says he wants to go to a contender. He’s 29. To get him, the 49ers probably would have to trade their first-round pick this year and maybe…
Many people from the Los Angeles area are thrilled with the blockbuster trade that made former Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic a member of the Lakers over the weekend. Jacob Posner is not one of those people. That’s because the Palisades Charter High School graduate is a diehard Mavericks fan — and he became one because of Doncic. “When Luka came into the league and became a Mavs [player], I immediately was like, ‘That’s my guy and I wanna be a Mavs fan,’” Posner told CBS News Texas from a hotel room in Sicily, Italy, this week. A 20-year-old Dartmouth…
Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr lost two players just an hour before a game. Preparing to face the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night, both Dennis Schroder and Andrew Wiggins departed in a five-team trade that sees Jimmy Butler head to San Francisco. Kerr would have a rotation of players in mind when he got to the arena in Salt Lake City. However, those plans would have to be tossed as his front office was finalizing a deal with the Miami Heat that would send Butler to Golden State as both Wiggins and Schroder left the team. The Heat…
Joao Felix’s debut goal for AC Milan has got Chelsea supporters talking on social media. It has only been one game, but Joao Felix already looks like he is going to be a real threat for AC Milan. His goal against AS Roma was a very good one, with the forward lobbing Mile Svilar to help Sergio Conceicao’s side win 3-1 in the Copa Italia. Felix’s strike comes at a time where Nicolas Jackson is struggling to find the back of the net. After failing to score in Chelsea‘s 2-1 victory over West Ham United on Monday, the centre-forward has…
AC Milan have announced their new 25-man squad list for the UEFA Champions League knockout phase, and there are predictably some key changes. Compared to the list presented in September for the initial ‘league phase’, the rules allow only three new signings from the January transfer window to be added, regardless of the number of exits and regardless of their homegrown status/age. It is instead possible to modify List B (U21 players who have spent at least two consecutive seasons at the club) without limits. From the new signings, Santiago Gimenez, Joao Felix and Kyle Walker have been included. Luka…
It’s Super Bowl week, but Myles Garrett has dominated NFL news since his request for a trade from the Cleveland Browns. The 2023 Defensive Player of the Year wants to be on a contender, and a plethora of current and former players have begun the recruiting process. San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is the most recent current player to pitch Garrett, and he joins two other Niners teammates who have publicly shouted out the defensive end. The Browns drafted Garrett No. 1 overall in 2017 after going 1-15 the year prior. He came out of Texas A&M as…
