Bobby Witt Jr. has been nothing short of excellent since breaking into the league with the Kansas City Royals. He signed a whopping 11-year deal worth $288.8 million prior to the start of the 2024 season. However, that deal includes an opt-out after the 2030 season.

Pep Guardiola watches Manchester City draw with Brighton in the Premier League Pep Guardiola vowed that Manchester City would rediscover their defensive focus after another sloppy display on Saturday. Erling Haaland and Omar Marmoush gave the hosts the lead at the Etihad against Brighton but they were pegged back twice and could have lost the game late on when Carlos Baleba blazed over when unmarked in the box. It was more points dropped in a disappointing campaign that leaves City nervously looking over their shoulders in the race for Champions League qualification. They are in fifth place with nine games to go, although…
Rasmus Hojlund is back among the goals for United as the club consider options in attack this summer It didn’t quite beat the first time, but Rasmus Hojlund’s 13th Premier League goal for Manchester United still carried plenty of emotion. The Danish striker has banished the doubters once again to end his barren run in front of goal. It took Hojlund 15 games to register his first league goal for United last season. He scored against Aston Villa on Boxing Day to begin a run that turned a famine into a feast. But his second campaign has been even tougher than his first, and as the…

It would be wrong to suggest Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is afraid of a challenge. He made the decision to come aboard a ship last February that had lost its way and was sinking fast. He paid more than £1billion to secure a stake initially worth just 27.7 per cent. Growing up on a council estate in Manchester, Ratcliffe came from nothing, working hard to make his fortune. He will have taken risks throughout his career to generate his personal wealth and find himself in the position he is today. However, investing in a football club is not a…
Yankees’ $10,000 Prospect Turns Heads With Jaw-Dropping Spring Breakout Performance. If pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange wasn’t already on the New York Yankees’ radar, he most certainly is now. Lagrange dazzled in Saturday’s Spring Breakout game against the rival Baltimore Orioles, frequently topping 100 and 101 mph over four innings. The 21-year-old allowed two runs (one earned) and struck out two in the 5-4 loss. “This was a big, big opportunity for me,” Lagrange said. “It meant a lot.” Lagrange retired 12 of his final 13 batters and hit 101 mph on his last pitch.
