Share this: Bryce Harper already looks ready for Opening Day. The Washington Nationals star outfielder had a subpar 2016 season but he made his spring training debut with a bang Saturday. Harper was facing New York Mets left-hander Sean Gilmartin in the second inning and he put a hurt on the first pitch he saw, blasting it well over the right-center field wall. Take a look at the tape-measure blast below. Harper, the 2015 National League MVP, saw his numbers dip last season as he hit .243 with 24 home runs and 86 RBIs, a far cry from his MVP numbers the year before. The four-time All-Star hit just .226 off lefties in 2016, so opening the spring with a first-pitch homer off a left-hander is certainly

NBA Rumors: J.J. Redick Will Likely Re-Sign With Clippers In Offseason
Share this: J.J. Redick has been a valuable role player for the Los Angeles Clippers since his arrival to the team in 2013, and it sounds like he’ll continue to do that for years to come. Redick is set to be an unrestricted free agent at season’s end, but Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders is reporting that the sharp-shooting guard has already committed to re-signing with the Clippers in the offseason. “Several league sources labeled Redick as a non-starter for Rivers and company and there is a belief that Redick already has committed to re-sign in July,” Kyler writes. After making $7.3 million this season, it’s projected that Redick’s price tag will go up. Still, Kyler believes that Los Angeles will be willing to

NBA Rumors: 76ers’ Jahlil Okafor ‘Will Be Moved’ Before Trade Deadline
The likelihood of Jahlil Okafor remaining with the Philadelphia 76ers beyond Thursday’s 3 p.m. ET NBA trade deadline appears slim. “He will get moved, I can tell you that,” NBA.com reporter David Aldridge said Tuesday on NBATV. “They’re not going to go into next season with him on the roster and they’re not going to finish out this season with him on the roster.” Okafor, a solid offensive center, is averaging 11.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game this season. He’s not an above average rim protector, but the former third overall draft pick has made strides defensively since his rookie season. The 76ers have dra... NESN.com
NBA Rumors: Timberwolves Interested In Acquiring Knicks’ Derrick Rose
Share this: It’s been a season to forget for the New York Knicks. The team has underperformed on the court, and the front office has grabbed headlines for all the wrong reasons. The Knicks appear to be willing to part with most of their players, as Carmelo Anthony has been the subject of trade rumors for quite some time. However, a new Knicks’ player found himself in the rumor mill on Monday: Point guard Derrick Rose. The Minnesota Timberwolves have reportedly reached out to the Knicks inquiring about Rose’s services, according to ESPN’s Ian Begley. This trade would make sense on multiple fronts. The Timberwolves are in need of guard depth after Zach LaVine’s torn ACL ended his season. Also, it would be a reunion
Drew Pomeranz Focused On Being A Starting Pitcher In 2017 Season
Share this: The Boston Red Sox certainly bolstered their pitching staff in the offseason with the addition of Chris Sale, but there still are question marks when it comes to the back end of the rotation. One candidate for the No. 4 or 5 starter could be Drew Pomeranz, who the Red Sox acquired via trade last season. Pomeranz was an All-Star with the San Diego Padres in 2016, but he struggled upon his arrival to Boston. However, as spring training is officially underway, Pomeranz has put last season in the rear-view mirror and is focused on being a starting pitcher for the Red Sox in 2017. To hear what Pomeranz had to say about the upcoming season, check out the video above from
