MLB Roundup: Sailing Ship in Boston, Phillies Struggle, Rockies Accomplished What?
The Colorado Rockies accomplished a sweep over the New York Mets this past weekend. New York officially rank last in the MLB standings.
Much is to be said about New York’s loss but what about their division rival, Philadelphia Phillies? Philadelphia have long withhold most of their roster problems than New York and rank second to last in the NL East.
Alex Cora got fired. In my opinion, this is no surprise as baseball organizations cannot keep everyone around forever.
Boston Red Sox fans receive the John Henry silence.

Tyrese Maxey will Learn from Celtics Defeat
Tyrese Maxey had it all figured out last night against the Boston Celtics. Maxey thought he was going to buy an easy ticket from Boston and win in Philadelphia. Well, not so fast younger Maxey.
The game seemed to turn loose for Maxey in the waning stages after Boston withheld a small deficit. Maxey was dribbling, penetrating, and losing his sanity all at the same time.
Maxey is the Philadelphia 76ers best player for a reason and other than LeBron James, he and VJ Edgecomb play clutch. This paradigm has shifted quickly without Embiid in the lineup.
Embiid had a vasectomy done just weeks prior to the NBA Playoffs and Maxey has proved his point. He emerges from the tunnel a leader and leaves proud as a student willing to learn every time Maxey faints or turns a good curve.
He will learn under not one process. He will learn from his failures and rise up like the rest of Philadelphia and feel rejuvenated for the next test in which is no easy task.

2026 NFL Draft Round 1 Grades
Los Angeles Rams: B+
I am a huge Ty Simpson fan when it comes to this pick. He leaves the same intensity for Alabama and now Los Angeles. Stetson Bennett may have been a step back in recent years but I think Simpson can definitely learn from a pro’s pro Matthew Stafford and grasp information as time goes forward.
Dallas Cowboys: B-
Cowboys receive a B- for drafting Caleb Downs. Downs slipped but for huge reason. I would argue he created a lot more buzz entering college than he did exiting.
As for Malachi Lawrence, we have seen this before with Demarcus Lawrence. Only, Demarcus’ time had abated.
Kansas City Chiefs: A-
The Chiefs filled the room with one objective. Get a guy to disrupt the quarterback and they did that successfully.
New York Jets: C+
The New York Jets continue to reinvigorate the roster and they drafted David Bailey, Kenyon Sadiq, and Omar Cooper Jr. Bailey was undoubtedly a better pick than Fernando Mendoza.
Las Vegas Raiders: D
The Las Vegas Raiders drafted Mendoza with the first overall pick and the quarterback did not even shake Rodger Goodell’s hand. The arm is a little questionable, to me, since he emanates from a great, souring Indiana program.
Tennessee Titans: A
Carnell Tate is an excellent player. The Titans and Robert Saleh not only draft another viable OSU wide receiver, they add one right beside Jermaine Johnson.
New York Giants: C
I did not like the Giants picks on Night 1. I, however, liked the uplifting speech by Francis Mauigoa about letting loose, similar to Will Campbell’s draft night audition.
New England Patriots: B-
OT Caleb Lomu is an assurance policy on the right side.
Los Angeles Chargers: A+
Akheem Mesidor is the sleeper of the first round draft. If Miami won the National championship, maybe people would be talking about Mesidor more. But it is just me. Quarterbacks always get favored in the draft.
Cleveland Browns: A
Browns receive a solid A for simply no effort. They select the best offensive lineman in the draft.
Philadelphia Eagles: B
Makai Lemon was on the phone with the Pittsburgh Steelers just before the Eagles drafted him. I think Lemon has the most upside of any receiver but AJ Brown needs to bleed green another year.
Seattle Seahawks: A
Jadarian Price is a great payday for him and Seattle. They lose Kenneth Walker but Price displays more than a one-cut style.

So Soto
So, apparently New Mets outfielder Juan Soto is back in the news this time saying he has not spoken to teammates. This comes as no surprise as there were reportedly problems last year with him and former leader of the Mets clubhouse, Pete Alonso.
Now, not many legitimately know where Francisco Lindor stands in all of this but something seems fishy about the Mets situation. Just over one year ago, Soto signed a 15-year, $765 million contract with deferrals to become part of the Mets 40-man roster. Things could not get worse for the Mets as they are on a 12 game losing streak and recorded a loss to the Minnesota Twins last night.
There is no excuse for what is happening especially with GM David Stearns turn of events this offseason. He decided to flip the roster and listen to owner Steve Cohen.
Soto did not leave the New York Yankees for this and now, so far, he is paying the price.

Wemby Playing to his Last Second
Victor Wembanyama witnessed one of the worst tragedies last year at 21 years of age. He experienced a blood clot. Fast forward to the 2026 NBA Playoffs, Wemby is having the time of his life with his fellow teammates that include Stephon Castle, D’Andre Fox, and Dylan Harper.
The Spurs play with a collection of guards that can spread the court and nail buckets. Wemby is not doing anything keen to jinx the magic. Wemby averaged 25 PTS, 11.5 REB, and 51.5 FG% in the regular season.
Now he is continuing his good play at a shot of the NBA Finals. The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Trail Blazers on Sunday, 111-98. They need to defend Scoot Henderson and Demi Avdija better but that has been Wemby’s special quality this year.
All 100 voters unanimously named Wembanyama Defensive Player of the Year and what’s better is Wemby stands a shot at the MVP race with Nikola Jokic and Shai Gilgeous Alexander.
Wendy attained the award by leading the league in blocks (3.1) and taking care of stocks (steals+blocks). His 8-foot wingspan has been able to tell the rest of his story.
Wemby is a hard nosed competitor who enters his third-year very capable. These are the moments San Antonio fans live for.

T.J. Rumfield is Present
T.J. Rumfield is living in the present moment on the diamond. Rumfield was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies then traded to the New York Yankees. Brian Cashman and company thought they possessed a gem and now they are paying for it.
Rumfield is a Colorado Rockie tearing it up at first base. In 16 games, he has hit 2 home runs, 8 RBI’s, and a solid .843 OPS. Tonight, the Rockies have decided to bench Rumfield.
Rumfield is no ghost on the field when it comes to his tall nature. He is making Paul Depodesta look good and maturing nicely alongside another former Phil, Mickey Moniak.
The two share something in common, no other team has.
An agenda to play Colorado Rockies baseball and glorify the city. The Rockies finished in the bottom last year and there is no reason to get hopes down as a fan.
