Stay with us for full broadcast information and real-time coverage throughout the game. Mexico face Panama in a 2026 international friendly that opens their calendar for the year, marking the first of two preparation matches during a window that is not part of the official FIFA schedule. Javier Aguirre approached the match as a key opportunity to evaluate domestic-based players from Liga MX, with European-based players unavailable since clubs are not required to release them outside official dates. Mexico travel to the Rommel Fernández Stadium aiming to secure a much-needed victory after a challenging run of results. The group coached by Aguirre is winless in its last six matches, posting four draws and two losses, with its most recent victory coming in the Gold Cup final against the United States. This friendly offers a chance to reset, test new combinations, and regain confidence ahead of future competitive commitments. Panama, meanwhile, look to take full advantage of this matchup as part of their preparation toward a historic second World Cup appearance. Facing one of their strongest Concacaf rivals represents one of the toughest tests for the side led by Thomas Christiansen, who sees this friendly as a crucial benchmark to measure progress and fine-tune their approach against elite regional opposition.

With the New York Rangers once again open for business, reports hint there is only one untouchable player on Mike Sullivan’s team, and it’s not captain J.T. Miller. It’s not déjà vu. The New York Rangers find themselves in an eerily similar position to where they were last NHL season. General manager Chris Drury confirmed the team is set to trade some of its top assets, and there may be only one untouchable player on Mike Sullivan’s roster. As much praise as J.T. Miller gets for being a culture-changing captain, he could also be moved. In the 2024-25 NHL campaign, Drury sent a league-wide memo stating that New York was entertaining trade calls for key veterans. A year later, the Rangers have parted ways with some household names, yet remain stuck in the same square. Now, despite Miller making something clear to Sullivan and his teammates, changes are expected inside the locker room, and no one might be truly safe. Well, except for one star: Igor Shesterkin. NHL on TNT’s panel recently discussed the drama in New York, with Anson Carter and Tuukka Rask suggesting Shesterkin is the only player the Rangers can’t trade. According to them, the Broadway Blueshirts should at least be open to offers on everyone else. That includes stars like Adam Fox and Mika Zibanejad, as well as veterans like Vincent Trocheck and J.T. Miller. Rangers with trade clauses When there’s a will, there’s a way. If the Rangers truly want to trade any player on the roster, there’s usually a way to make it happen. That said, some players present taller hurdles to clear. As it stands, six Rangers carry full no-movement clauses this season: Artemi Panarin, Mika Zibanejad, J.T. Miller, Adam Fox, Vladislav Gavrikov, and Igor Shesterkin. Igor Shesterkin at Madison Square Garden Additionally, four others are under contracts with no-trade or modified no-trade clauses (M-NTC): Jonathan Quick (20-team no-trade list), Carson Soucy (12-team), William Borgen (no-trade clause, becomes M-NTC in 2026–27), and Vincent Trocheck (12-team). Panarin is on his way out For a team and organization that has struggled in almost every area of the game lately, Drury has seemingly found his bread and butter: his willingness to move any player if the price is right. That strategy is now fueling trade buzz around Artemi Panarin. ‘The Breadman’ is playing on a contract year, and New York has made it clear it won’t be handing him a new deal after the 2025–26 season. The Rangers won’t just sit idle until Panarin’s contract runs its course, either. Instead, the top priority in the Big Apple has shifted to finding a trade New York can live with—and one Panarin is willing to waive his full no-movement clause for.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold voiced a straightforward statement about his health which served as a warning for the Los Angeles Rams ahead of the NFC Championship Game. The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams are set to meet once again during the 2025 NFL season. This time, the two NFC West rivals will clash with a trip to Super Bowl LX on the line. With the players within smelling distance of their career dream, nothing is going to stop them. Sam Darnold made that much clear when asked about his oblique injury. Every NFL playoff game is a chess match. But when divisional rivals meet with a trip to the Super Bowl hanging in the balance, every move is layered with intent, every mistake magnified, and the game within the game takes center stage. Absolutely nothing is left to chance. However, at the end of the day, it’s football. Anything can happen, and as the common saying goes: “It’s players over plays”. In that regard, Darnold—who truly knows what it means to defy the odds and bounce back from the abyss—is willing to put his body on the line to guide Seattle to its fourth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. As the Rams are set to walk into one of the league’s loudest venues, Darnold dropped a strong confession. “Felt good [after the game] I got to continue to get prepared and ready for Sunday. I felt confident letting it rip,” Darnold admitted during his media availability on Wednesday. QB Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks Chess match between Rams and Seahawks After watching the Seahawks’ defense dominate every phase of the game, special teams fire on all cylinders, and the ground attack reach another level with Kenneth Walker III leading the way, learning that Darnold is healthy and confident enough to rip the pigskin only adds another layer of concern for Rams head coach Sean McVay. Moreover, the Seahawks confirmed Darnold could get a new weapon to face Los Angeles. Though an authentic student of the game, McVay has built his reputation on outscoring opponents in shootouts rather than engaging in drawn-out chess matches. Now, it appears the young mind guiding Los Angeles may be forced out of his comfort zone as he goes up against arguably the most underrated head coach in the NFL: Mike Macdonald. Third battle Seattle and Los Angeles have met twice so far in the 2025 NFL season, splitting the regular-season series. Both games were decided by a combined margin of just three points. The Rams edged the Seahawks 21–19 at SoFi Stadium, before Seattle returned the favor with a 38–37, game-of-the-year contender at Lumen Field. Back in the Emerald City for the third and decisive matchup, both teams know what to expect from each other. However, instead of shedding light, that just means they are essentially in pitch-black darkness. The two coaching staffs will come up with tweaks to their game. Thus, it’s truly anyone’s game. The winner will represent the NFC in Super Bowl LX, played at another familiar stage: Levi’s Stadium, home of fellow NFC West rival San Francisco. Regardless of who emerges on top, there’s little doubt that both the Seahawks and Rams are more than deserving of this opportunity.

The Baltimore Orioles have made a significant move by acquiring Pete Alonso, and reports suggest they might not be done yet. Speculation is swirling around the team's potential to further bolster their lineup with an additional star to complement Alonso's power at the plate. The Baltimore Orioles are facing skepticism from their fanbase as they prepare for the upcoming season. Following a disappointing end to 2025, the team was made aware of its shortcomings. Determined not to repeat past mistakes, they’ve taken pivotal steps this offseason, notably by acquiring Pete Alonso and other key players to bolster their roster.

According to a report by USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, the Orioles could soon unveil a major player acquisition. Nightengale noted on his X account, “Rival executives expect the Baltimore Orioles to be the next team to secure a front-line starter from the free-agent market, particularly now that the New York Mets are out of the running after acquiring Freddy Peralta.” With several high-profile free agents still evaluating their next move, anticipation builds around who the Orioles will choose to complement Alonso. Known for his experience and talent, Alonso is set to lead the team in the forthcoming season. Pete Alonso looks on while playing for the Mets. Potential targets for the Orioles The Orioles are linked to several notable figures in the offseason market, with reports consistently mentioning Framber Valdez as a top candidate, that was intended by the Yankees and Mets. Valdez was purportedly a target for the Mets prior to their acquisition of Freddy Peralta. Potential Acquisitions for the Orioles Include: Sandy Alcantara (Marlins): The Marlins are in a “reset,” making Alcantara a prime trade candidate.Edward Cabrera (Marlins): This promising right-hander could be part of a trade involving Ryan Mountcastle.MacKenzie Gore (Nationals): The Orioles have been linked to Gore as a younger, left-handed option should Valdez negotiations falter.
