Not many players did better for themselves in the 2018 Major League Baseball playoffs than Joe Kelly. Kelly was sensational throughout the Boston Red Sox’s march to a World Series title, owning a 2-1 record with a 0.79 ERA with 13 strikeouts over 11 1/3 total innings. Kelly took his game to the next level in the Fall Classic, allowing just four hits over six scoreless innings. The dominant stretch came at a perfect time for Kelly, who’s set to hit the open market when MLB free agency opens this offseason. The right-hander has experienced success as a middle reliever, but he could be looking for an elevated role out of the bullpen.

LeBron James’ Agent Gives Very Simple Reason For Each Free Agency Decision
LeBron James’ career has featured three significant free agency decisions.

On the surface, it might seem like James can’t stay in one place for too long. But don’t let the nomadic lifestyle fool you.

LeBron James Sheds Light On His Mindset Ahead Of NBA Free Agency
The Golden State Warriors claimed their third NBA championship in four years Friday night when they completed a series sweep over the Cleveland Cavaliers. While Game 4 marked the final contest of LeBron James’ 2017-18 season, it might also have been the last time he donned a Cavaliers uniform.

Logan Ryan Makes Compelling Pitch For Ndamukong Suh To Join Titans
Logan Ryan is a cornerback for the Tennessee Titans, but he appears to be serving as a general manager during the NFL offseason. The Titans have been one of the more active in the past few months.

Isaiah Thomas had his best NBA seasons in Boston as a member of the Celtics. And even though he harbored some hard feelings toward the franchise after they traded him to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Kyrie Irving last offseason, the electric guard is open to wearing the green and white again. Thomas, who was traded from the Cavs to the Los Angeles Lakers at the NBA trade deadline, held a question and answer session on Twitter on Sunday. When he was asked about returning to Celtics as a free agent this summer, he didn’t shut the idea down. Now that would be something. Thomas averaged 28.9 points for the C’s last season while leading
Tom Brady Says Goodbye To ‘Brothers For Life’ As Patriots Free Agents Depart
