Derrick Rose is in Ohio Monday for a meeting with the Cavaliers.

As expected, the Cavaliers and Derrick Rose will meet today to continue their discussions on a possible one-year deal pairing the former MVP with LeBron James as a potential replacement for Kyrie Irving.

The former MVP is reportedly leaning towards coming to Cleveland. Free agent point guard Derrick Rose is meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers today, reports ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, and he is leaning towards to signing with the Cavs over the Los Angeles Lakers. According to Wojnarowski, Rose...

The Knicks re-signed him so it must have been good! Ron Baker's flowing locks, pesky defense and aight jump shot endeared the undrafted free agent out of Wichita State to the New York fanbase pretty quickly. Like, at first, it was more of a joke thing. We were asking ourselves who the hell is this...

The Cavaliers are taking calls on Irving, but no deal is close at the moment. Kyrie Irving may be available on the trade market after making a request to be dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski says that no deal is impending as of now while discussing Derrick Rose’s free...

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw set to go on 10-day disabled list with back injury.

Clayton Kershaw isn't sure if this back injury is as severe as the 2016 malady that sidelined him 10 weeks, but he feels "a lot of frustration."         

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw is headed to the disabled list after his latest back injury.

The Dodgers warned their fans in recent weeks they might not make a major addition before the July 31 nonwaiver trade deadline. The words and ideas shared by the front office pointed to the organization retaining its top prospects instead of trading them for reinforcements, as the team’s architects...

The Dodgers were reported to be interested in Yu Darvish even before today’s news broke that Clayton Kershaw is very likely headed to the disabled list.  Regardless of whether Kershaw’s injury proves to be serious or not, Dylan Hernandez of the L.A. Times argues that the Dodgers should still acquire...

According to USA Today's record projections, the New England Patriots will go 16-0 this season.

The New England Patriots know all about starting a season with a significant player suspended. Future Hall of Famer Tom Brady missed the first four games last season because of his involvement in Deflategate.The Patriots found a way to win three of those four games without Brady. They then went 11-1...

New England is the only team to have gone 16-0 before. Until Super Bowl XLII, the 2007 season was a perfect storm for the New England Patriots. Despite playing one of the NFL's hardest schedules, the team defeated every one of its opponents up to that point behind a historically efficient offense,...

The 2017 non-waiver trade deadline is exactly one week away, and already the Yankees have swung a pretty significant seven-player trade with the White Sox that, more than anything, added high-end depth to the bullpen. I know Todd Frazier is the biggest name, but that trade was about Tommy Kahnle and David Robertson. Adding those […] The post Scouting The Trade Market: Lance Lynn appeared first on River Avenue Blues.

The Cubs will see a new look from the Sox this week. You already know that the White Sox made one truly significant trade this month, the one that sent Jose Quintana to the Cubs. The Sox also made another significant deal, sending David Robertson, Todd Frazier and Tommy Kahnle to the Yankees. For more...

Jaimie Garcia trade talks have intensified since the lefty’s gutty performance Friday night. Garcia pitched seven strong innings against the Dodgers and crashed a grand slam home run. That makes two straight sharp performances. Garcia’s solid performances weren’t against bottom feeders, either. The veteran limited Arizona to one run on four hits while striking out seven on July 16. Five days later he held the National League’s best team to three runs on seven hits while striking out four and walking only one. At least eight teams are reportedly negotiating with the Braves. The Brewers...

Check out everything going on in the American League Central. The Twins have traded Nick Tepesch to the Blue Jays for cash. Tepesch made only one start for the Twins this year, but the 28-year old has previously pitched for the Rangers and the Dodgers. The veteran’s minor league stats weren’t awe...

SEVEN DAYS remain until the non-waiver trade deadline.  The Braves expect to trade Jaime Garcia by Wednesday.  But after that…? Let’s review the Atlanta Braves‘ plausible trade candidates and see how they are doing since the All-Star break: Brandon Phillips.  Still a hitting fool at .429 (OPS...

Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks had an interesting theory as to why tendinitis suddenly flared up in the middle finger of his pitching hard. "Flipping the bird to people, maybe it was too much of that," Hendricks said with a hearty laugh before the Cubs faced the Cardinals on Sunday night at Wrigley...

CHW (38-57): RHP Miguel Gonzalez (4-9, 4.89)  CHC (51-46): RHP Kyle Hendricks (4-3, 4.09)  First pitch: 1:20pmCST What a difference a week makes. The Cubs go 8-1 out of the gate and end up in first place, tied with the quickly fading Brewers. Hendricks has been on the shelf for a month and a half...

Rick Porcello lost again on Sunday. The Boston Red Sox pitcher is now 4-13 on the year, after winning the Cy Young award last season. Boston’s offense hasn’t helped him much, but he’s not helping his case either with a 4.52 earned run average. A look into that 4.52 ERA though, and you’ll notice that Porcello’s been […] The post Boston Red Sox: Rick Porcello needs to solve HR problem appeared first on OutsidePitchMLB.

It's looks like it will be Chris Sale, Drew Pomeranz—and then a total crapshoot. On Sunday, Rick Porcello joined David Price in the 'Disappointment Dog House', with a frustrating performance in which he coughed up three solo home runs—despite going at least six innings for the 18th straight time....

Jacoby Ellsbury became a $21 million per year pinch-runner over the weekend, while Clint Frazier pressed his case to remain in the Yankees’ lineup.        

ESPNs Buster Olney suggested a few possible swaps for outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, who has lost his job in the New York Yankees lineup and at age 34 is still owed about $77 million. MINNEAPOLIS -- What's the easiest way to get rid of a bad contract? Swap it out for another...

With a new ownership group set to take over the Miami Marlins, there have been rumblings that Giancarlo Stanton and his 13-year, $325 million contract could be traded to usher in a new era.

It isn’t unusual for the Red Sox to bring a 20-year-old prospect into the heat of a pennant race, as club promoted Xander Bogaerts in 2013 and Yoan Moncada just last season.  As WEEI.com’s Rob Bradford points out, however, he difference between those callups and today’s news about Boston’s promotion of Rafael Devers is that…

I didn’t expect the Kansas City Chiefs coaching staff or GM to be all that upset about Tamba Hali’s tweets. It’s easy to say that Tamba is just doing that because he wants to win so badly. End of story. That’s basically what the Chiefs new GM Brett Veach said at his Monday press conference. "I know Tamba,” Veach said. “I love Tamba. I'm not concerned about that." Veach said that he and Andy Reid would both talk to Tamba when they got up to camp (he said he was going right up to camp after the press conference). “Everyone in our facility loves Tamba,” Veach said....
