The standout player in Philadelphia Eagles training camp was recently retired. Predicting the Philadelphia Eagles training camp standouts for the summer was not too difficult. John Ross was not among the many names that immediately sprang to mind. Ross, freshly out of retirement since November of 2023, joined the Eagles in May following a tryout and has utilized the early half of training camp to remind spectators when he was the ninth overall choice by Cincinnati in 2017. The way that Ross has appeared in drills or even while working with Jalen Hurts and the starting offense has been the…
The Phillies’ home David Dahl added; Brandon Marsh (hamstring) on IL.

Despite being on track to play in all 162 games, he is currently on pace for 22 home runs, 73…
Another Braves contract extension is due. The Braves have won 11 of their previous 13 games, are an MLB-best 19-7, and are coming off a series victory over the team with the second-best record in baseball. They have arrived as expected to start the 2024 campaign, but what makes this early season run so remarkable is that they are succeeding without their stars performing at their peak. Marcell Ozuna has been the team’s best offensive player, while Reynaldo Lopez has been the Braves’ best starting pitcher. Hell, I could even make the argument that the most valuable player of the…
