Brian Cashman rejects Yankees' urgency narrative. So why does club appear more ruthless?

Once Anthony Volpe completed his rehab assignment from offseason shoulder surgery, he was expected to return to the Bronx as the Yankees’ starting shortstop. Instead, his first game came in front of 4,390 fans in Worcester, Mass. — not in Yankee Stadium — a stunning development for a player the club once treated as untouchable.Advertisement

Sabres look overwhelmed by Canadiens. Can Lindy Ruff help them find their game?

MONTREAL — The Buffalo Sabres aren’t in Boston anymore.That much was clear from the moment former Montreal Canadiens captain and Stanley Cup champion Kirk Muller carried the torch to the ice before puck drop of Game 3 in Montreal. The building was deafening, unlike any road environment most of the Sabres have ever played in. Defenseman Bowen Byram, who won a Stanley Cup in Colorado, said this was the loudest building he’s ever played in. A few weeks ago, the first playoff game in Buffalo in 15 y...

Everybody loves a deal, and NFL teams are no exception.The true gold strikes at the bottom of the draft (see Brady, Tom) are extremely rare, but the league’s best front offices annually find value on Day 3, in some form or fashion —  a surprise starter, a special teams ace, a versatile backup or a “glue” guy.Advertisement

Recent history shows the Fourth of July would be considered early for action, given the pace at which most clubs operate and how much can change before the Aug. 3 trade deadline.But it is the front office’s job to constantly brainstorm ideas, gather information and anticipate where those markets are moving. That’s especially true when the club looks like a legitimate World Series...

But the sum total of Posey’s moves, from the signing of Willy Adames to the trade for Rafael Devers to the hiring of Tony Vitello, is amounting to subtraction by addition.Advertisement

WNBA power rankings: How far do the Aces drop after an opening-game debacle?

Welcome to The Athletic’s 2026 WNBA power rankings. We’re tweaking the format this season to focus a little more on the teams moving up and down, so expect even more movement than usual.That’s especially true for the start of the season, after the defending champs lost by 33 points on their home court, the runners-up forgot how to play defense in the second half of a back-to-back, and the other two 2025 semifinalists lost heartbreakers at home.
