In their quest to enhance their roster with top-tier talent, the New York Yankees are reportedly poised to target a crucial player they missed during last season's trade deadline. With rumors circulating extensively about players potentially joining other teams next season, the New York Yankees are among those looking to rebound in 2026. Following a disappointing end to the last season, fans of the franchise with the most World Series titles in MLB history expect a stronger performance. According to MLB analyst Jim Bowden, the New York Yankees are actively pursuing Miami Marlins star Sandy Alcantara. Alcantara, a prominent target during the last trade deadline, did not end up with the Bronx Bombers in 2025, but the front office is allegedly in talks with the Marlins to bring in the 30-year-old pitcher. Past negotiations reportedly almost reached an agreement, and now, with ample time and the Yankees’ needs clearly identified, Alcantara could potentially become the team’s first roster addition for 2026. Alcantara might seamlessly fit into a rotation that already includes Max Fried and Carlos Rodon, two top-performing pitchers for the Yankees last season. However, several details still need ironing out before Alcantara might be seen wearing a Yankees jersey in 2026. I’ve been seeing a lot of reports about the Marlins being open to trading Sandy Alcántara, and if the reports are true, the Yankees should 100% pursueThere have been trade rumors around Alcátara for years now, but nothing big ever happened in the market.

Although his stats didn’t place him on any leaderboards, he was still a crucial player for the Marlins that year. Over 31 games, he posted a 5.36 ERA, with a 0.1 WAR, allowing 165 hits, 107 runs, including 22 home runs, and 57 walks. These numbers indicate that the Yankees may need to address some issues, as Alcantara hit unwanted career highs, particularly in runs allowed. Other teams reportedly interested in Alcantara Despite last season’s statistics, Alcantara is still regarded as an elite player, having won a Cy Young Award and been selected for the All-Star game twice. This reputation makes him a desirable asset for any team. The Los Angeles Dodgers are reportedly one of the teams interested in Alcantara, and according to Yahoo Sports’ Garrett Kermann, a blockbuster trade could see him move from the Marlins.

Jaxson Dart’s New York Giants face a tough test on Monday Night Football in Week 13 as they take on the New England Patriots in Foxborough. Despite a turbulent NFL season, the New York Giants are determined to finish on the most respectable note possible. That’s why Jaxson Dart and the rest of the squad are looking to make a statement in Foxborough and snap the New England Patriots’ streak on Monday Night Football in Week 13. After missing the last few games, with Jameis Winston taking over, Dart will finally be back in the lineup at Gillette Stadium tonight. “Mike Kafka confirms Jaxson Dart will start MNF vs. Patriots,” the Giants announced via X. The rookie has flashed real potential whenever he’s had the chance to take the field with the rest of the squad. In fact, he’s impressed enough to force the coaching staff to send none other than Russell Wilson to the bench — a player from whom much more was expected this season. Why Dart was sidelined The New York Giants rookie quarterback missed the team’s last two games because he was in the NFL’s concussion protocol. He sustained the concussion during the Giants’ Week 10 loss to the Chicago Bears after taking a hit. Jaxson Dart #6 of the New York Giants. Due to the strict protocol, which requires medical clearance by an independent neurological consultant, he was ruled out for the subsequent games against the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions. Dart’s numbers at the helm of the Giants’ offense Jaxson Dart has posted solid numbers this season, accumulating 1,417 passing yards. He has demonstrated efficiency in the red zone with 10 passing touchdowns while maintaining good ball security with only 3 interceptions. This performance has resulted in a strong 65.5 QBR, indicating a high level of overall effectiveness in his starts.

Chicago Blackhawks star Connor Bedard delivered a powerful message to the rest of the NHL after a candid encounter with the Anaheim Ducks. Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks overcame a disastrous start to secure a key comeback win over the Anaheim Ducks. Several familiar faces reunited at the United Center when Ducks and Hawks went to battle, but there was no place for friendly chatter. Instead, the two sides treated fans to one heated showdown in the NHL season. Two of the youngest rosters in the league provided one of the best games in the 2025-26 NHL season. During Joel Quenneville’s return to the Windy City, the Ducks came out of the tunnel looking shot out of a cannon. Anaheim scored twice in the opening minute, taking Bedard and company by surprise. The Ducks even took a 3-0 lead in the first period, but the Blackhawks never threw the towel, walking away with a 5-3 victory. It wasn’t always pretty. More often than not, the game turned chippy, as stars on both sides of the ice went at it. Even Bedard got his hands dirty, as he starred a brief skirmish with Ducks forward Mason McTavish. After the game, Bedard didn’t stutter to put the rest of the league on notice. As skilled as he is, he isn’t afraid to stand up for himself when tempers flare and push comes to shove. “It’s fun when games get feisty like that,” Bedard confessed during his postgame interview with Chicago Sports Network’s Darren Pang. Bedard sure proved he is up for the task when the tide gets rough, finishing the game with 4 points (2G, 2A). His magical 2025-26 NHL season continues, as the former first overall pick now registers 37 points (16G, 21A). Bedard and McTavish went at it after the buzzer leading to a big scrum 😳 pic.twitter.com/aEdYb4LdPB— B/R Open Ice (@BR_OpenIce) November 30, 2025 Bedard and McTavish go at it Former teammates for Team Canada in the 2022 IIHF World Juniors, Bedard and McTavish sure seemed to have forgotten about their shared history during Chicago’s 5-3 victory. What started off as an argument—with slashes involved—at the faceoff slot led to a spat after the final horn went off at the United Center. In between those two sequences, Bedard put the game away with an empty-net goal, which he celebrated by staring down the Ducks’ bench. Still, after the game, Bedard expressed nothing but praise for McTavish. “Yeah, we are pretty close, actually. He is someone that always wants to compete. I was roommates with him. Everything we do, he’s trying to make it a competition,” Bedard commented on McTavish after the game. “I’ll probably go say hello to him right now. Such a great player. He’s a fun guy to play against.” Connor Bedard at the United Center on November 30, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. Blackhawks-Ducks could become a classic for years Chicago and Anaheim boast the third- and seventh-youngest rosters in the NHL, respectively. With both sides taking massive strides this season, it’s easy to believe the Hawks and Ducks could spark a rivalry that lasts for years. Perhaps Sunday’s clash in the City of Big Shoulders will one day be remembered as the league’s first taste of an electric matchup between them. Those who missed the meeting in Chicago will have another chance soon, as the Blackhawks visit the Ducks on December 7th, hoping to sweep the season series for the first time since the 2021-22 campaign.
