When Major League Baseball released the first update on All-Star Game voting last week, Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies had a rather commanding lead at first base in the National League, with more than 1.1 million votes, as opposed to the 713,858 votes for his top competitor: Freddie Freeman of the Los Angeles Dodgers. With Harper on pace to make the All-Star Game for the eighth time, has the 31-year-old — in his first full season at his new position — seized the crown as the best first baseman in baseball? At least as far as the 2024 season has gone, it’s pretty hard to argue that anyone…

Baker joins Birmingham City just days after leaving her former club. She has signed a three-year deal with the Blues.

Baker went on to make 19 appearances for The Foxes in the Barclays Women’s Super League and she scored her only league goal in a 1-0 victory at Brighton & Hove Albion in the 2022/2023 season. Baker announced her Leicester City departure last…

McMinn contracted a mystery infection that led to most of his right foot being amputated.

His nickname is The Tin Man.[1] Playing career[edit] Early years[edit] Born in Castle Douglas and raised in nearby Dumfries,[1] McMinn was alleged by The Scotsman to be called ‘Teddy’ at school because he ran as if he had a teddy bear tucked under his arm.[2] In his autobiography McMinn stated it was because as a toddler he and his teddy bear were inseparable.[1] McMinn started his playing career at Scottish junior side Glenafton Athletic in 1981.[1] McMinn joined Glenafton from Dumfries High…

Speaking of breaking news, as the Braves were introducing Olson during a press conference on Tuesday, they announced they had already signed him to an eight-year, $168 million contract that includes a $20 million club option for the 2030 season. NORTH PORT, Florida — The first call from a general manager to a newly acquired player is usually perfunctory, a simple welcome. But when Atlanta Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos phoned Matt Olson on Monday after acquiring the All-Star first baseman in a trade for the Oakland Athletics’ slugger, he had more news. Anthopoulos told Olson that his next call would go to Olson’s agent to open conversations…

Birmingham City asked the EFL to schedule their upcoming League One fixture with Wrexham AFC to be played in the United States. More and more American investors and owners are getting involved in English football. From the non-league to the Premier League, and everything in between, the beautiful game is currently being seen as a great opportunity for the affluent members of the USA. By Christmas 2023, 22 of the 72 teams in the EFL had some level of American investment, whether it was full ownership or minority stakeholdings. That number has increased since then, with West Bromwich Albion being sold to Shilen…

Birmingham City have reportedly made an audacious bid to take their upcoming League One fixture with Wrexham to the United States. According to the Daily Mail, Blues bosses raised the prospect of playing their home game with the Hollywood-owned Dragons across the Atlantic, only for the notion to be quickly dismissed by the EFL. Sources have since told WalesOnline that the proposals were never formally put to authorities, but have confirmed that any such move would have been robustly knocked back by EFL chiefs.

Peacock-Farrell joined Burnley back in the summer of 2019, when he arrived from Leeds United for a reported £2.5million. Since then however, the goalkeeper has struggled to establish himself at Turf Moor, making just a handful of appearances for the Clarets. He also spent the 2021/22 campaign on loan at Sheffield Wednesday, and the most recent campaign saw him loaned to Danish side Aarhus. Birmingham City keen on Burnley goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell As per this latest update, Birmingham City…

It’s safe to say that Wayne Rooney will never be a popular man with Birmingham City fans after last season. The finger of blame was largely pointed at the former Manchester United man in the wake of the Blues’ relegation to League One last season, after his dismal time at the helm at St Andrew’s. With just two wins from his 15 matches in charge of the club, the 38-year-old’s appointment turned out to be the kiss of death for the Midlands outfit, who suffered relegation into the third tier for the first time in 30 years. Plymouth Argyle were one of the clubs that…
