TAMPA – The worst thing that ever happened to Jasson Domínguez is being nicknamed “The Martian.” The best could turn out to be teammates with Amed Rosario. There is “very good player potential” in Domínguez. An All-Star Game or two, potentially for 20-20 players. But probably not ‘The Martian’. But that nickname, and the heady […]
The irony of fueling is that it doesn’t work. Sure, there are a few exceptions in the lottery era, most notably with Gregg Popovich, whose long-term damage to the NBA includes being the godfather of tanking, load management, and condescension toward the media. But if you look at the recent history of champions and finalists, […]
The competition made a move this weekend, with the Cavaliers dealing DeAndre Hunter and two second-round picks to the Kings for a pair of guards: Keon Ellis and Dennis Schröder.

The bigger problem may be their stiff competition in the AL East, which is gearing up […]
Baseball seasons, like elections, have consequences. And so the Mets’ uber-makeover began with a blockbuster: the surprise star swap that sent beloved Brandon Nimmo to Texas in an outright deal for Marcus Semien. The sentiment is out the window after a disastrous 2025 Mets season in which they memorably and pathetically failed to beat the […]
TORONTO — They were inevitable. Indomitable. And now indisputably historic. These Dodgers were harassed by the Padres in the NL West. Pushed hardest by the Phillies in the NL playoffs.
