The St. Louis Cardinals could part ways with Paul Goldschmidt this summer. Goldschmidt is one of the key players mentioned as a trade candidate. He joins Ryan Helsley and Jojo Romero– as well as Kyle Gibson, Lance Lynn and possibly Sonny Gray. Much can change from now over the seven weeks until the deadline even though the Cardinals are facing the possibility of a significant roster overhaul. If they pursue this route, there’s potential for Goldschmidt to be traded to a team that needs infield help.

The Orlando Magic were arguably the biggest surprise in the Eastern Conference this past season. Due to their youth, the Magic were considered to be one year away from being contenders in the East. However, the Magic produced their best season in over a decade, finishing fifth in the conference at 47-35, though they fell to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

The injury hits keep on coming for the struggling Chicago Cubs. Jordan Wicks is the latest Cubs pitcher to hit the injured list in a season where the pitching staff has yet to be fully healthy. The Cubs placed Wicks on the 15-day IL on Saturday after he suffered a right oblique strain in Friday’s start against the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field. Wicks sustained the injury in the second inning and had to exit the game. It was the left-hander’s second start since coming off his first stint on the IL. He had previously missed all of May with a strained forearm. Despite the bad news on Wicks, it could mean that Kyle Hendricks will return to the rotation after a stint in the bullpen.

According to Bleacher Report, the Detroit Pistons could target Los Angeles Lakers point guard D’Angelo Russell in free agency. With ample cap space and a desire for veteran leadership, the Pistons are poised to make significant moves. Despite a tough start to the 2023-24 season, Russell rebounded strongly, silencing trade calls from Lakers fans. He finished the season with impressive averages of 18.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 6.3 assists on shooting splits of 46/42/83. His potential acquisition could bring the experienced leadership the Pistons need to guide their young roster.

Almost a decade ago, Colorado Rockies starter Austin Gomber was selected in the fourth round of the 2014 MLB Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. In February 2021, St. Louis sent the left-handed pitcher to Colorado in part of the Nolan Arenado trade. He’s spent the last four seasons with the Rockies, and he’s arguably having the best year of his career in 2024. The Cardinals are currently one game under .500 with a 33-34 record. They are just on the outside looking in of a National League Wild Card spot. St. Louis has improved their roster since last season, but the starting rotation has been the team’s weakest link. They could certainly trade for another starter before the trade deadline. There’s a possibility of a reunion between St. Louis and Gomber, for the right price of course.

Rockies Starter May Get Traded Back To His Original Team

The Pistons have made a change to their coaching staff. No, it’s not the change you’re thinking about. On Friday, the Pistons strategically hired Fred Vinson, a seasoned Pelicans assistant coach, to join Monty Williams’s staff. Vinson brings a wealth of experience, having spent the past 14 seasons with the Pelicans, including five seasons as an assistant under Williams (2010-2015). Vinson’s close connection to Pistons’ President Trajan Langdon enhances his potential influence on the team. This move also suggests that Williams will get at least one more season to prove he’s worth the $78.5 million contract he signed in the summer of 2023. So, who is Fred Vinson, and what can he bring to this Pistons team?

Just when the Atlanta Braves offense looked like it had life again, another injury in their outfield struck. Michael Harris II left Friday night’s 7-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays with left hamstring tightness. After a leadoff single in the first, Harris took third on an Ozzie Albies double and was visibly in pain. He left the game moments later, replaced by J.P. Martinez, who stayed in for the remainder of the game. Harris will have an MRI on Saturday but has already been placed on the 10-day injured list.

By the end of the year, the owners of Kentucky Speedway will have paid Gallatin County more than $900,000 for tickets never sold to races never run. NASCAR abandoned the racetrack following the 2020 Quaker State 400, but a 20-year PILOT agreement (Payments In Lieu Of Taxes) obligates Speedway Motorsports Inc. to two annual payments through 2031: a $180,000 lump sum and a $1 per ticket fee with a $230,000 minimum, even if the venue remains vacant.

Jrue Holiday and the Boston Celtics attempted to become the 10th team to win an NBA Finals via a sweep on Friday night. They ended up not coming close to achieving that feat. Game 4 of the NBA Finals saw the Dallas Mavericks win in laughable fashion by the score of 122-84. That cuts Boston’s series lead to 3-1. No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in NBA playoff history, but the Mavericks dreams of doing so are still alive.
