In total, 130 players decided to become free agents, according to the MLB Players Association. With that in mind, we’re taking a look at the biggest contracts out there and how they rank among those most lucrative in MLB history. Shohei Ohtani 700 million for 10 years The Japanese sensation made MLB history by signing a 10-year contract to the tune of $700 million. Yet, it’s got to be said that Ohtani is a special kind of guy. With a base salary of $70 million per season, he took the decision to defer his salary so the Dodgers could have more wiggle room where building a better roster is concerned. After all the point of leaving the Angels was to join a contender. To that end, the two-way star will earn $2 million per season with the rest being paid at a later date.

NBA champion and “Survivor” contestant Scot Pollard is “awake and feeling great” a day after a heart transplant, his wife said Saturday on social media. “Scot has a new heart!” Dawn Pollard posted Friday night on X, formerly known as Twitter. “Surgery went well and I’ve been told the heart is big, powerful and is a perfect fit! Now on to the crucial part of recovery." She posted an update Saturday, writing: “Look who’s awake and is feeling great! Breathing tube came out early this morning and he started cracking jokes and singing, ‘I left my heart in San Fran-Nashville.’ We are all amazed at Scot’s recovery so far!” Pollard, who turned 49 on Monday, needed a transplant because of damage to his heart from a virus he caught in 2021 that likely triggered a genetic condition he has known about since it killed his father at 54, when Scot was 16. Pollard’s size complicated efforts to find a donor with a heart big enough to fit his 6-foot-11, 260-pound body. Earlier Friday...

Inter Miami play their second Game of the 2024 MLS campaign on Sunday, a trip to the West coast to take on LA Galaxy . The Herons opened with a win on Wednesday evening, seeing off Real Salt Lake thanks to goals from Robert Taylor and Diego Gomez. Head coach Tata Martino had switched to a 4-3-3 formation for the season opener and Miami looked much more stable in possession, with a better balance in attacking areas. Taylor started on the left of a front three and his dynamism offered crucial contrast to the more stationary, but enduring impactful, Lionel Messi and Luis Suárez. In midfield Gomez and Julian Gressel did the running for Sergio Busquets .

The Western Conference bloodbath continues Sunday, February 25 as the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns face off with both teams desperate for a win.  The Suns are losers of two straight against other West opponents, while the Lakers are just 2.5 games behind Phoenix in the standings and are desperate to climb out of the play-in part of the bracket. A win by L.A. puts them in a virtual dead heat with the Suns, who are trying to stay afloat amid injury woes for Bradley Beal. The NBA odds for today’s game favor the Suns in a high-scoring affair, but I think one superstar is going to outshine the rest. My NBA picks and predictions for Lakers vs. Suns expect LeBron James to keep running up the score against Father Time with a strong offensive showing on Sunday. Lakers vs Suns odds Lakers vs Suns predictions It is always a special event when LeBron James and Kevin Durant clash.  Before this season, it had been five years since the two generational supe...

Manchester City moved to within a point of Premier League leaders Liverpool with a 1-0 victory at Bournemouth on Saturday evening. Phil Foden scored the winning goal midway through the first half and the visitors had to dig in deep to secure their victory on the south coast. The Cherries did immensely well to stay in the Game and ramped up the pressure on City late on but they couldn't quite carve out enough clear openings. How the game unfolded City should have taken the lead inside the opening ten minutes. Bernardo Silva dropped deep into his own box to collect the ball and play it long for Foden, who flicked it into the path of Erling Haaland, and he somehow fired wide when bearing down on goal. Straight back down the other end, Ederson had to be at full stretch to deny Milos Kerkez's long-range drive. With 24 minutes on the clock, City broke the deadlock. A clever dink over the Bournemouth backline from Mateo Kovacic found Haaland, whose bouncing half-volley was pushed asi...

Most of the NFL teams and fans were caught off guard by the recent news that the 2024 NFL salary cap would increase to $255.4 million, up from $224.8 million last season . That is a whopping $30.6 million increase. The reason that the cap is ever increasing is the same reason that gas, food, and housing costs increase. Inflation. As prices rise, so must salaries rise to keep pace. But this year’s increase is far in excess of even the most hopeful of projections. In fact, this year’s increase represents the largest year-to-year increase in total money in free agency history. # NFL Salary Cap through the years: 2024 - $255.4M 2023 - $224.8M 2022 - $208.2M 2021 - $182.5M 2020 - $198.2M 2019 - $188.2M 2018 - $177.2M 2017 - $167.0M 2016 - $155.3M 2015 - $143.3M Over the last 10 years the increase has been massive 💸💰💵 pic.twitter.com/q0J4fnrUPi — NFL Rumors (@nflrums) February 24, 2024 Part of the reasoning behind the massive boost is a new NFL broadcast deal that will pu...

Erik ten Hag has warned Antony that he must work hard to recover his starting spot at Manchester United. The Brazilian, an £82m signing from Ajax in 2022, has failed to justify that price tag thus far and is no longer a regular in Ten Hag's starting lineups. He is yet to score or assist a goal in the Premier League this season. With Rasmus Hojlund out injured for the next few weeks, there is less com Pet ition for minutes in United's attack, but Ten Hag insisted Antony is not guaranteed minutes with a damning assessment of the 24-year-old's form. "He has to prove a point, that he will do," Ten Hag told the media. "And he has big potential. He hasn’t shown it lately, but I know what his talent is, and it’s about proving his talent, and it’s about him. And, yeah, he will probably get his opportunities, right? "You have com Pet ition, and now he has to show himself on the training pitch, but also others because we have opportunities there. With [Amad] Dial...
