He had a fire inside of him, as evidenced by his brilliant home run trot during a two-run explosion in the opening inning. Putting the Yankees ahead 2-0 in the first inning, New York never looked back.…

Premier League giants Chelsea decided not to sign Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise despite strong interest in his services. The Blues targeted the Palace star last summer but the player decided to sign a new contract at Selhurst Park, surprising Chelsea with his decision. Chelsea revived their interest in the player this summer again with his Premier League form impressing some of the biggest clubs in England. Olise scored 10 Premier League goals and provided 6 assists in 19 appearances in the 2023-24 season, forcing the west Londoners to target him, along with Manchester United. However, the Premier League club…

Napoli are on the verge of sending flop Jesper Lindstrom to Olympique Lyonnais on loan with an option to buy for €20m, claim reports in Denmark. The 24-year-old was a huge investment last summer, as the Partenopei paid Eintracht Frankfurt €30m plus up to €5m in various add-ons. He proved to be a total disaster at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, contributing one assist in 29 competitive games and never quite finding a position to play in. Primarily a trequartista or able to play on either wing, he struggled tactically with the demands of Serie A and simply made no impact in…

Katie Boulter has her sights set on the world’s top 10 and is hoping her success can help inspire more female coaches in tennis. The 27-year-old is enjoying the best period of her career, having soared from outside the top 150 to a high of 27 in the rankings in less than a year, winning WTA Tour titles in Nottingham and San Diego along the way. Previously, Boulter’s trajectory had been a story of periodic highs amid long spells out of the game through injury and struggles to break through the lower levels of the sport. Now she is a…

A year ago Atlanta Braves wunderkind Ronald Acuña Jr. became the first 40/70 player in baseball history — he finished the season with 41 home runs and 73 stolen bases — en route to being named NL MVP. He hit .337/.416/.596 overall and led baseball in hits (217), runs (149), and total bases (383). It was the greatest power/speed season in baseball history, truly. Acuña turned only 26 in December and, thanks to the eight-year extension worth $100 million he signed in April 2019, he is the biggest bargain in the sport. Atlanta owes Acuña only $17 million a year from 2024-26, with $17…

The revelation emerged while Bell elaborated on the leadership within his team. Mid-discussion, he let slip: “Whenever Chase [Briscoe] comes into the car,” seemingly confirming rumors of Briscoe’s transition to Joe Gibbs Racing. Bell quickly realized his mistake, adding, “I…

He came up to the majors when the Braves had little pitching at all, and he left the Braves not because he really wanted to, but because the team now had too much talent for him to stay around. Hoping that a change of scenery would help, Avery signed a one-year contract with the Boston Red Sox in January 1997.
