The Atlanta Braves made two moves involving infielders on Thursday. They acquired utility infielder Zack Short from the Boston Red Sox and sent infielder Luis Guillorme to the Los Angeles Angels, both transactions involving cash. Guillorme, who played five games at second base and one at shortstop for the Braves this season, along with pitching one inning in relief, was traded to the Angels. The 29-year-old Guillorme had a batting average of .150 in 20 at-bats. He previously played for the New York Mets from 2018 to 2023, with a career batting average of .258. Short, aged 28, was designated…

Celebrity Lakers fan Snoop Dogg thinks that it makes perfect sense for Warriors legend Klay Thompson to sign with LA this summer. The rapper thinks the fact that the Lakers are still a West Coast team makes it an easy transition for the four-time champion. Plus, Klay’s dad, Mychal currently works for the purple and gold and also won two championships with the storied franchise. “I’m hopeful that we can get us a Klay Thompson,” Snoop Dogg told Stephen A. Smith on The Stephen A. Smith Show recently. “His dad is Mychal, he works for the Lakers, it’s an easy transit down…

There will be a very noticeable 6-foot-5, 295-pound absence at the Pittsburgh Steelers’ organized team activities next week. Six-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Cameron Heyward plans to miss the Steelers’ voluntary OTAs for the first time as he enters the last season of his current contract. “I have always attended these, but at this time, it’s just contract negotiations,” Heyward said on his Not Just Football podcast, which dropped on Thursday morning. “Ya know, I want to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, but we’ll see what happens.” Heyward, who’s set to make $16 million in 2024, was responding to and confirming a report from ESPN…

Courtney Morgan explained his responsibilities as Alabama football’s first general manager in an interview with 247 Sports. Morgan joined the Crimson Tide’s staff after Kalen DeBoer was hired as the Tide’s head coach. He worked under DeBoer in the same role at Washington and describes it as a position with multiple layers when asked about the role. I think the 50 foot answer is to bring together elite individuals in the building that can help lead the direction to what we trying to do to win a National Championship,” Morgan answered. “It changes everywhere I go. It is more resources…

Overall, I’m as suspicious of Jared Goff as anyone. I see him as a restricted quarterback who, when things aren’t perfect in the pocket, becomes nearly unplayable. What happens when Ben Johnson, the Lions’ offensive coordinator, takes over as head coach? But in each of the last two seasons, Goff has finished top-10 in the NFL in passing yards, passing touchdowns, passer rating, yards per attempt, yards per completion, pass completions, etc. So how many quarterbacks can you comfortable rank ahead of him right now, looking toward the 2024 season, should you want to rank the league’s quarterbacks? You might…

Alabama’s most significant newcomer through the 2024 college football transfer portal is barely a newbie at all, as offseason commit Kadyn Proctor spent his true freshman season with the Crimson Tide last fall. The left lineman left the program in January after previous head coach Nick Saban announced his retirement, signed to Iowa shortly after, and virtually completed spring workouts with the Hawkeyes. But on the eve of camp, Proctor announced his decision to re-enter the portal and return to Alabama. It was a whirlwind experience for everyone concerned. New Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer filled a crucial position with the…

If you want to understand the “next man up” bullpen mindset documented in each edition of the Brewers’ docuseries, “The Firemen” (the most recent of which can be watched here), see 6-foot-8 right-hander Trevor Megill on Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. This was the ninth inning. The Brewers were down two runs and down to their final strike when Megill calmly stood on a mound in the left-field bullpen. When William Contreras doubled, Milwaukee suddenly had the tying run on base. When Gary Sánchez walked, the Brewers had a legitimate chance. Nonetheless, Megill worked informally. A reliever with a 100…

The Detroit Lions will not sign veteran receiver Tyler Boyd. He signed a contract with the Tennessee Titans on May 9. However, Boyd’s departure to Tennessee may provide the Lions with another wide receiver option in the form of a trade for Treylon Burks. Mike Payton of AtoZ Sports stated that the Lions should seriously consider trading for Burks. “I’m not sure that this is a problem with Burks so much as it’s been a problem with the Titans offense and their quarterbacks,” Payton said. “Burks is now the odd man out with these moves. It’s reminiscent of Josh Reynolds’…

Geno VanDeMark is moving to a new school to play for a familiar team. The former Michigan State redshirt junior starting right guard announced his transfer to Alabama on social media on Saturday. This reunites him with offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic, who spent the previous four seasons with the Spartans and is now in his first year with the Crimson Tide. VanDeMark, who stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 329 pounds, made eight starts at right guard for the Spartans over the last two seasons. He entered the portal on April 30, his second time in five months, and has two…
