Leading off...
The Braves actively shopping Julio Teheran & are said to want an MLB-hitter of the same age and quality. The Red Sox are one of the teams said to be interested and JBJ compares to Teheran. I can't imagine DD wants to deal away JBJ considering the season he's having.
Louisville has Super Regional home field advantage for the 2nd straight year and the best pitching depth in the country. All that said, UC Santa Barbara made them their bitch yesterday.
Game 2 and for the 1st time all season Corey Ray isn't hitting lead off for the Cards.
This guy isn't the most reliable source but he did report all the Kenta Maeda details days before major news outlets did.
He tweeted this ^ yesterday and has since said on his podcast, the Cubs want Chapman & Miller and are prepared to send back a hefty return.

UCLA will complete this season with Adidas and then begin a new, $280 million partnership with Under Armour:
So much for Notre Dame as UA's flagship school. The Irish's little $90M deal isn't shit compared to this.

Great news to start the week. After years of struggling to find a legit safety, we drafted Harrison. The guy has been nothing short of a phenom in purple thus far.
The Pro Bowl might as well be a game of flag football but I find it interesting the league continues to tweak the format. Abandoning the AFC vs NFC format in favor of a fantasy-style draft seemed to add some interest but nothing that lasted very long. The league will not only move back to the...
Atlanta has been trying like hell to trade this guy before the ruling but no dice.

More reason to despise the NFL. I'm the first to admit, "No shit, football players put themselves at risk for brain trauma", but the NFL's repeated attempts to bury facts is repulsive. Very similar to the Tobacco industry trying to bury health facts related to cigarettes back in the day.
What was thought to be a flexor strain turned out to be much worse. Smith has only appeared in the three games with the Sox this season. He was acquired from Seattle during the offseason. Boston sent Jonathan Aro and Wade Miley to the Mariners for Smith and Roenis Elias.
Louis van Gaal and his entire Dutch coaching staff was shit-canned Monday. LVG will get $7.5M for being released from his contract early and $600K in bonuses for winning the FA Cup. Utd averaged 1.29 goals per game this season, their lowest figure since 1989-90.
Jose Mourinho and his agent...
We won't see another Triple Crown winner in 2016 but this race is now must-watch.
We've seen a pretty amazing rivalry play out between Derby winner, Nyquist and Preakness winner, Exaggerator. Nyquist isn't yet confirmed but I can't imagine the race without him. The Preakness was Nyquist's...
Both changes are long overdue. Umpires have slowly dragged the zone lower and wider over the years. The Intentional Walk also makes too much sense. Just wastes time. I don't see why MLB's playing rule committee wouldn't agree to make the changes.
