The Brewers’ trade of Corbin Burnes to the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday night for infielder Joey Ortiz, pitcher D.L. Hall, and the 34th overall pick in the 2024 amateur draft was the largest domino in a tumultuous offseason for the team. One of the players most likely to be moved in baseball coming into the offseason was Burnes. After the 2024 season, he will become a free agent, and the chance of a contract extension with the Brewers was eliminated the instant he took home the 2021 National League Cy Young Award. To be competitive with a small payroll, the…

You would have replied, “Sign me up!” if someone had informed you before to the season that the Philadelphia Flyers, sitting in third place in the Metropolitan Division, would be in the postseason at the All-Star break.

Many in the NFL were taken aback by Johnson’s choice, as he presumably declined a much larger compensation and may have forfeited his opportunity to become a head…

Naturally, there were some jeers from the TD Garden crowd on Thursday as the Celtics fell behind the undermanned Lakers. Even without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, the Lakers’ B team shot brilliantly from beyond the 3-point line all evening. However, it was evident from the first tip that the C’s were not playing with the appropriate intensity. Despite a brief lead in the second quarter, the Lakers led for the duration of Thursday’s game. The Celtics committed nine turnovers in the first quarter. However, C’s coach Joe Mazzulla claimed he wasn’t disturbed by the jeers following the team’s 114-105…
