The focus of the season for the Baltimore Orioles has been on winning games. Rightfully so, too, as that’s always the goal during the year. However, after acquiring Corbin Burnes in a blockbuster trade in the offseason, they have to figure out his contract situation. The right-hander hits free agency at the end of the season and is expected to command a contract well over $200 million. Things have changed for the Orioles in multiple ways, but historically, the franchise hasn’t paid players in that type of way. Their young core does allow them to pay Burnes, as many of them don’t hit free…

There was a name that stuck out to any in the starting line-up for the friendly against Rapid Wien this evening as Paulo Fonseca opted to give Mattia Liberali a chance to show what he can do. As La Gazzetta dello Sport recall, Fonseca decided to go with a 4-2-3-1 system and there were plenty of candidates for the playmaker role such as Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Daniel Maldini among others, but Liberali got the nod. Born in 2007, Liberali has enchanted for the Primavera with his imagination and technique, his dribbling in tight spaces, his movement and his ability to create. In…

Baseball began Friday afternoon. The Cubs resembled a teenager who had overslept their alarm. A defensive error contributed to the loss. The Cubs were down five runs before their offence showed any sign of life. As a result, the overall outcome was a listless loss. With a good road trip leading up to the break, it appeared that the Cubs were on the verge of returning to contention. But this is how quickly things can change. The Cubs have now dropped three out of four. That still leaves them with six out of ten. That is a good stretch. However,…

LeBron’s kid has finally started to score in the previous two games, with 12 and 13 points against Atlanta and Cleveland, respectively. The Bulls also have a colorful character in their lineup – 11th pick of the draft, Matas Buzelis. And so far, the…

FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas baseball team could not make a move in the SEC race Saturday night at Baum-Walker Stadium. The third-ranked Razorbacks lost 8-5 to 15th-ranked Mississippi State to even their three-game series at one game apiece. Arkansas (41-10, 18-8 SEC) could have tied Kentucky and Tennessee for the SEC lead with a victory. Instead, the Razorbacks trail those SEC East teams by one game with four games remaining in the regular season. Because Texas A&M lost for the second consecutive day at Ole Miss, Arkansas maintained its two-game lead over the Aggies in the SEC West. Mississippi State (33-17, 15-11) stayed alive…
Few talents in football are generating the same amount of interest that Francesco Camarda is right now, and AC Milan are lucky enough to have the youngster among their ranks. Every week, there is a new thing to get excited about when it comes to Camarda, and it is difficult to not fall into the trap of getting over-excited about him. The 16-year-old has already made his Serie A debut, which lessens the pressure when he next is elected to make the step, and he is scoring goals for fun. It has been a very successful summer so far, he…
