Scott White ranks the two-start pitchers for the upcoming scoring period and then categorizes them by how usable they are The names depicted here are highly speculative and subject to change One of the most common ways they change is with the addition of a spot starter when a team is scheduled to play six games in a row but it happens often enough that I'm taking the extra step this year of pointing out which of the two-start pitchers is scheduled for Tuesday and Sunday in the upcoming scoring period since they're the most likely to lose out in such a scenario All information is up to date as of Sunday afternoon SANDY — Smokey Bear joined students and staff at Sprucewood Elementary School on Tuesday to help plant a unique Artemis I Moon Tree The school's new Douglas fir seedling is dubbed a "moon tree" because it was grown from a seed carried aboard NASA's Orion spacecraft when it circumnavigated the moon in November 2022 traveling over 270,000 miles in its journey from Earth and back The seeds for five tree species were aboard the unmanned spacecraft for the Artemis I mission Department of Agriculture Forest Service grew the seedlings before distributing them to approved tree stewards School librarian Sara Lee first learned about moon tree stewardship after reading "Moon Tree: The Story of One Extraordinary Tree" by Carolyn Bennett Fraiser Lee explained that Frasier contacted her to let her know about the book in August 2022 because a moon tree was located near the school in Draper She then found out NASA was introducing a new generation of moon trees as part of its national STEM engagement and conservation education initiative so she applied for her school to be considered After waiting two years to hear back about the application Lee was surprised to find out the school had been selected to be a steward out of more than 1,300 applications "I was blown away when I got the first email saying that we had tentatively been chosen," Lee said We got our welcome packets and then the tree came the next day." The school dedicated its moon tree at a celebration on Tuesday Six students acknowledged for demonstrating leadership by following school rules helped Lee Smokey Bear and teacher-of-the-year recipient Emigh Lo plant the seedling in a patch of grass near the playground "I think (the moon tree) is really cool because it traveled around the world and space I think it's cool we had someone special to share it with," said Matthew was that Smokey Bear was being portrayed by Lee's husband who is a cartographer for the Forest Service and helped coordinate the special appearance "We had great support from our local Forest Service office and my administration was awesome They treated this as the big deal that I was hoping it would be," said Lee Students officially welcomed the tree to their campus by participating in their school's "happy chant" before ending the celebration Principal Cathleen Schino also reminded students to take care of the tree The tree will be surrounded by a barrier to protect it from stray balls and toys from the playground and is accompanied by a plaque that explains its status as a moon tree Students at Sprucewood Elementary School in Sandy react as they meet Smokey the Bear and participate in a "moon tree" planting on Tuesday Deseret News)"NASA and the Forest Service have trusted us to take care of this tree and to keep it safe and healthy," said Schino "So we're going to make sure that we take care of it by admiring it with our eyes instead of our hands We've been practicing giving compliments all year and using emotional safety NASA began the new generation of moon tree stewardship as a nod to the historic Apollo 14 mission astronaut and former smokejumper for the U.S carried hundreds of seeds to space to see if they would still grow after being in a zero-gravity environment but they were able to save 420 seeds that would later be planted at national monuments in celebration of the U.S Four of those trees were initially sent to Utah in the 1970s, but only two are still accounted for. One is a Douglas fir that was planted at the state Capitol but was cut down after being destroyed by a tornado in 1999. The other is a sycamore tree planted at the Lone Peak Conservation Center in Draper that is still standing Draper's almost 50-year-old moon tree is now joined by two of the new generation's seedlings — one at Sprucewood Elementary and another at Glacier Hills Elementary "I feel like it's special," said Lee "Not everybody has a tree grown from a seed that traveled 270,000 miles from space something that even when (students are) older they'll remember that this happened and it's accessible here (can bring their) kids back some day and show them." Lee explained that the area where the tree was planted is also special because it was previously home to another tree planted in memory of a student who died but now Lee hopes the area will continue to be visited by students and remembered for generations to come Sandy Spring Museum invites the community to celebrate a beloved tradition at its 42nd annual Strawberry Festival on Saturday the museum grounds at 17901 Bentley Road in Sandy Spring will transform into a vibrant hub of family-friendly fun • Lively performances across two stages showcasing local talent • The legendary “world’s best” strawberry shortcake • A selection of local craft beers and refreshing strawberry-themed beverages for both adults and children • A marketplace featuring over 30 talented artisan craft vendors • A diverse culinary experience with more than 10 regional food vendors offering everything from French crepes to Middle Eastern cuisine hands-on activities highlighting multicultural traditional arts “The Strawberry Festival beautifully blends the excitement of a festival with the warmth of a community reunion,” says Allison Weiss “It’s remarkable that an event of this size still feels like an old-fashioned We are often touched by stories from attendees who first experienced the festival as teenaged volunteers and are now sharing its magic with their own children and grandchildren.” This year’s festival will evoke a sense of nostalgia the return of the popular community bake table and the much-anticipated strawberry shortcake eating contest “Where else can you discover such genuine old-fashioned fun in today’s digital world?” she adds SANDY — With just one goal in the last four games Utah Royals head coach Jimmy Coenraets decided to change up the starting lineup Saturday against the North Carolina Courage Fifteen-year-old Herriman native KK Ream got her first start as a winger in the adjusted lineup becoming the youngest starter in NWSL history in the process "To start a game and to play the way that she did I think that's good," Coenraets said of the teenager "It's something that we can build upon." Ream became the youngest Utah Royals player ever when she signed with the club in December as a forward; and at 15 years she set another record as the youngest player in league history to start a NWSL game "KK has so much potential," Utah captain Kate Del Fava said "It's just getting her in the right position so she can be successful on the field." the record-breaking starting lineup did not result in a change in offensive output as the Royals were shut out for the fourth time in the opening seven games of the season with a 2-0 loss at home to the Courage A composed finish from Ashley Sanchez, relentless pressure from Ryan Williams and Manaka Matsukubo, and a perfect performance by Casey Murphy give the North Carolina Courage their second win of the season.Utah Royals vs NC Courage highlights presented by @Nationwide pic.twitter.com/W20aiCcjoy Coenraets' winning percentage in 2025 now sits at 14% more than a quarter of the way through the season the same as Amy Rodriguez's when she was fired as head coach of the Royals in June 2024 "This can't be the case every game," Del Fava said after the team's fifth loss concede goals and then decide to show up and play." Both North Carolina goals came in the first half with the second going down as an own goal off of Del Fava just before halftime Mina Tanaka subbed on in the second half to strengthen the attack in her first action since March but wasn't able to find the back of the net in her return from injury who is one of four players with one goal this season for Utah mentioned a missed opportunity she had in the first half and the process of improving the quality of passes and shots being taken by her and her teammates "I am just trying to get as many quality chances on goal myself or setting up teammates as possible because those will ultimately lead to goals," Sentnor said "Really just trying to get us into goal zone opportunity chances instead of just half chances here and there." goalkeeper Mandy McGlynn put up five saves in the loss and also forced a missed penalty late in the game Utah heads on the road next for a tough pair of matches at Angel City and the Washington Spirit before returning to America First Field on May 23 against the Orlando Pride If you previously used a social network to login to WRALSportsFan.com click the “Forgot your password” link to reset your password Welter: Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson's relationship with UNC is still a love story, but the honeymoon's over and I'm afraid of the twist Welter: Like famous draft fallers before him, Shedeur Sanders will have a chance to prove if he was taken too late or right on time Belichick, UNC end spring ball with unremarkable practice Panthers Playbook: Is this a make-or-break year for QB Bryce Young?

Deeds | April 17 With no end in sight to the rebuild and Alcantara controlled through the 2027 season it would be a complete shock if the Marlins held onto him until his contract came to a close he’s sure to be an extremely sought-after commodity The right-hander’s 4.70 ERA in three starts this year is far from impressive He’s generating grounders at a phenomenal 65.1% clip with a 3.86 FIP and a 3.91 xERA despite his lackluster 19% strikeout rate and 12.7% walk rate Those strikeout and walk figures will become concerning if they hold up over a larger sample size it seems fair to expect the righty to return to his previous dominant form Alcantara has posted a 3.33 ERA with a 3.71 FIP and a 21.4% strikeout rate against a 7.1% walk rate That sort of volume would have value even if Alcantara was a league-average pitcher given the increasing difficulty with which teams are forced to piece together their rotations He’s also appealing from a financial point of view He is making $17MM this year and next year less than half of what some other ace pitchers get Then there’s a $2MM buyout on a $21MM club option for 2027 Alcantara himself tells Jackson that he wants to stay in Miami but is aware that he has no say in the matter they can trade me.” While the righty eventually getting moved appears to be something of a fait accompli the Fish would still have two full seasons of team control to market if they opted to move him this offseason instead Unless the 8-10 Marlins are able to make a surprise surge into contention for an NL Wild Card spot this summer or Alcantara’s performance declines enough that lucrative trade offers start to dry up it’s hard to see the club getting more value out of their star by waiting for the offseason another year of information regarding their prospects and young players could allow them to make more informed decisions about which areas of the roster to target improvements for in the return package That would give potential suitors for Alcantara alternative options they surely wouldn’t have available to them this early in the calendar When do MLBTR readers think the Marlins should start trying to trade Alcantara Would jumping the market and opening up the bidding now allow them to maximize their asset should they wait to see if Alcantara can re-establish himself more before putting him on the market this summer or could waiting even longer to deal him this offseason be the best course to take MLBTR Originals MLBTR Polls Miami Marlins Sandy Alcantara 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago Yu returns in a month and is still like 2024) but not sure how long you depend on Hart and Vasquez and not much at all behind them right now 3 weeks ago Someone get AJ a fresh line of the good stuff 3 weeks ago but rotation should be okay this season even if Darvish doesn’t make it back I’d be okay trading for him this winter if the Padres don’t resign King 3 weeks ago Maybe he’s cheaper to obtain this Offseason 3 weeks ago G – I suggested 5/130 on King on another post Then the FA post popped up with some data suggesting that might be light I would not go Salas and DeVries but pretty much the rest of the top 30 might be required Hosmer / Cease and King salaries in 2025 all rolled together can make it work in 2026 3 weeks ago Padres issue right now is they cleared out a lot of (IMO) marginal prospect talent in Arraez and Scott trades last year alongside Merrill’s graduation but most upside talent is at the lower levels They just don’t have a lot of talent to offer that’s not far away Maybe you could get away with just one of Salas or De Vries headlining but it’d require the Marlins to be exceptionally high on some secondary/tertiary pieces I don’t see the need in another starter until the fall. if Darvish comes back and they can extend King that’s 4 playoff-caliber starters thru 2026 3 weeks ago He has a 4.70 ERA and is walking players at twice his career averages They are not going to get Ace return for him 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago He is coming off TJ and missed time to injuries in 2018 In 2023 he only made 28 starts before the injury His 4.19 ERA with below average SO% in 2023 before the TJ and 2025 after the TJ points to #4 starter 3 weeks ago I assume you don’t even want your team to trade for him 3 weeks ago He was a rookie in 2018 and threw almost 30 more innings than 2017 He was 2nd in IP behind Cole from 2019-2023 He’s even 26th in IP from 2021-2024 without a single out last year We disagree on the definition of a workhorse He vastly outperforms his SIERA (almost by a whole run) but partially that’s due to his low Ks (which allows him to pitch deeper into games) His situation is similar to Cease coming off 2023 with the added wrinkle of TJ: career year into a down season Would you have called Cease a #4 coming off his 2023 3 weeks ago You just said the major reason not to acquire him ERA is not as predictive of future performance as SIERA is So what should you expect as a ceiling going forward The Padres acquired Cease for far less than anyone predicted precisely because of his 2023 season Alcantara will be no different except he will cost the acquiring team much less than Cease because not only did he have a mediocre season prior to surgery he also HAD TJ surgery and is not performing well now 3 weeks ago Some guys are perpetual SIERA/xFIP underperformers because neither of those accounts for the quality of contact Matt Cain’s career ERA was a half-run lower than his SIERA and xFIP and I would expect Alcantara’s 2025 ERA to end up closer to his career ERA than his career SIERA/xFIP marks 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago you are either fooling yourself or unaware Whats the cost for his blended ERA over 4.50 One yr in the past 7 yrd wins at double digits 3 weeks ago Put him on a team link the Yankees and the guy is a big winner I love the stat heads you come up with all these fomulas and such The facts are these days pitchers ats 6 inning men This is a guy that typically that can go 7-8 innings Tossing a few less strikeouts works out fine to get more innings These days teams are usuing 6 guys in a 9 inning game Even a guy averaging 6-7 innings these days is not that common 2 weeks ago straight – We have no idea how long it will take for Sandy to return to pre-TJS form teams wouldn’t want to give up a huge haul for just 2 more years of his services For example Buehler returned from TJS May 6th and he is still pitching like crap a year later 2 weeks ago 2 weeks ago and his velocity is down almost 3 MPH from his peak All the more reason for the Marlins to hold Alcantara to the deadline unless they’re blown away by an offer 2 weeks ago 2 weeks ago He was only middle of the pack when he got hurt with a 4.14 ERA and 4.03 FIP and now he has pitched like a back of the rotation starter since coming back Maybe if the Marlins hold him until the offseason and he can show he is actually at least back to being #3 starter quality by then 2 weeks ago Rodon had a 2.88 ERA prior to signing for big bucks 2 weeks ago SIERA is the best predictive pitching stat for a reason Because the exceptions to the rule are few and far between Right now there is one active player that used to have a low ERA despite his high SIERA He hasn’t been able to in the last 2 seasons he has pitched in 2023 and 2025 He got absolutely destroyed today for the 2nd outing in a row 2 weeks ago Players don’t get a return based on what they do AFTER they are traded They get a return based on what they have done BEFORE they are traded 2 weeks ago In his last two games including today Alcantara’s velocity is down 2+ MPH from his peak He used to sit 98+ and now he only hit 98 twice today with his average at 96.5 2 weeks ago Haven’t seen anything from today’s game but you’re incorrect about his previous game (4/12 against Nats) according to Statcast: his average fastball velocity was 97.6 His average fastball velocity from 2021-2023 was 98.0 his average fastball velocity in 2025 was 97.4 I’m not going to judge a pitcher in his physical prime too harshly over a 20-inning sample size coming off of TJ He has a career ERA of 3.34 and an “averaged” career xFIP and SIERA of 4.10 I’ll say if he stays mostly healthy this year Let’s check back on this one at the end of the year 2 weeks ago Average pitchers don’t get teams to give up something like what the Padres gave up for Cease 2 weeks ago That was for the season through his 3rd start 2 weeks ago an Ace doesn’t have a 4.14 ERA and then a 7.27 ERA the next season he pitches 1 week ago 3 days ago 3 days ago They could’ve traded him without him making a start but teams would wanna see his performance coming off TJ; they’d be handicapping their return No point in selling low; they’ve got so much control they can see if he can’t get back to his pre-TJ performance 2 days ago They would have received a bigger return if they had traded him before he pitched a game than if they trade him now 3 weeks ago I have no faith in Miami to get quality returns for big league commodities 3 weeks ago The marlins should roll the dice and wait at least another month or to the deadline No reason to trade him right now when there are some questionable results so far Though scouts likely can see if the stuff is there now and that he will bounce back Three starts is literally nothing especially after missing a year The workhorse part is probably not a big reason to trade for him this season This is the type a player preller usually goes after but I don’t see it this year If darvish is back in a month or so they really don’t need him My guess is we could see them pick up someone for the backend of the rotation if needed Right now left field is the Padres biggest need I don’t see them trading neither of Salas or DeVries Perhaps they could move Cease and then acquire him for more long term stability 3 weeks ago He hasn’t been very good so if Preller is going to go after him If his performance improves and he puts up an ERA in the 3s by the deadline he is going to be very expensive With 2 full seasons of team control for just $34 million he would be a major acquisition just a touch less expensive than Cease was to acquire Possibly as much as 3 organizational top 30 prospects As it is today he is returning from a major surgery with poor results out of the gate and that is after a mediocre season prior to the injury that precipitated the surgery He would not garner the type of return most think A couple of middle of the organizational top 30 MLB ready prospects and a lottery ticket should get it done today 1 week ago Padres and AJ Preller will make a compelling offer Preller has made at least 2 major deals with the Marlins over the last few years including landing Marlins relievers Tanner Scott and Bryan Hoeing in a six-player deal and All Star Infielder Luis Arráez in separate deals Salas will be the Padres starting catcher in late ’25 or early ’26 De Vries will be the Padres starting SS in late ’25 or early ’26 1 week ago He needs to learn to hit before the Padres think about calling him up 3 weeks ago Before don mattingly blew out his arm and threw away his second cy young 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago Naw he was throwing him 150+ pitches in games like a little leaguer 2 weeks ago @HATE: A simple google search will tell you that the most pitches Alcantara has ever thrown in a game are the 117 he threw in a complete game vs the Yankees on 8/12/23 He also threw 115 in another complete game 0n 5/22/22 Has never come close to being forced to throw “150+ pitches in games like a little leaguer” by either Mattingly or Schumaker Sorry the facts don’t back up your narrative 3 weeks ago 2 weeks ago Probably went your whole life making crap up and people thought you knew what you were talking about and now they call you out every time and get their phone out to verify your stupid statements lol 3 weeks ago No sense in trading him after TJ when results are bad you’ll be trading him at the low point of his market Let him string a few vintage Alcantara starts together and then start talks 2 weeks ago 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago Every Start is a risk and if you get a good return now I would do it If you get 95 cent on the dollar take the offer But if you get only offered 60 or 70 cents on the dollar it would be better to wait till the deadline So basically tell teams you can have him now but only if you are willing to really pay up 3 weeks ago I don’t foresee a better pitcher hitting the trade market so I’d be holding onto him until either the trade deadline or the off-season or you wait until all 29 teams have the same record in November 2 weeks ago 3 weeks ago Throw in another Cy Young candidate and we’ll give you Ozuna Mozeliak should make this trade to undo his biggest blunder since ignoring Max Scherzer wanting to be a Cardinal 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago The whole Cards team has surprised me a bit 2 weeks ago I think Contreras is a little overrated but think if Jordan Walker ever gets it going in the power department and if JJ Weatherholt finds some playing time 3 weeks ago That will NEVER happen even if the Braves paid his salary A guy who is going to be 35 and a free agent to be DH 3 weeks ago 2+ years I really don’t think the return is that different I’d say only deal him if someone overpays for now 3 weeks ago It’s gonna take a huge haul to get him I don’t know if I’m comfortable giving up a package led by Anthony or Mayer 3 weeks ago He has to actually show he is a TOR starter to get a return that includes any top 100 prospect His 4.70 ERA and 4.7 BB/9 don’t say Ace 3 weeks ago or do you think a few starts makes a guy a #4 or #5 2 weeks ago 3 weeks ago Even if he is not an ace this year he will command 2 top 100 prospects and one more solid org prospect He is 29 and under control next year with a 20 mil 2027 Club Option Teams will what that even if he is a 4 era pitcher this year which is normal in tj return Question is what kind of top 100 prospects it will be 90 overall and a good orgs top10 guy imo it would be a decent price that a contender should pay But maybe they ask for a top10 overall prospect which is a steep price 3 weeks ago Meant what not what in that sentence above:) I don’t think a top5 overall prospect is on the table But maybe someone is willing to give a prospect from the backend of the top10 2 weeks ago The last 2 guys I can think of traded with 2 years of control were Cease and Crochet Cease had a 3.37 ERA in the 2 seasons prior to the trade The White Sox got 1 back of the top 100 prospect for him 2 players at the back of the Padres top 10 Crochet had a 3.58 ERA in his only season as a starter and Boston’s #11 and #14 prospects prior to the trade Alcantara had a 4.14 ERA in the last season he pitched Alcantara will not get a return even close to Crochet and the one for Cease is out of the question too unless he really picks it up between now and the deadline 3 weeks ago Consider what they just traded for crochet who was younger cheaper with the same amount of control and not coming off major surgery .then realize there is zero chance the marlins get a top 20 or better prospect in all mlb for sandy..especially with hows hes pitched thus far 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago You don’t have call waiting on your cell so you can take another call on the other line 3 weeks ago 3 weeks ago Sure do – not sure why you ask “what century is this” like you don’t think people don’t have multi line hardwired phones in their offices or something though It isn’t some “last century” specific term – yet anyway I just threw a sarcastic reference back at you to make a point someone has used the term “call waiting” from landline lingo 2 weeks ago I have 3 separate numbers that feed into my cell phone including an 800# 2 weeks ago Out – I can be on a call and another comes in and I can tap “hold and answer” If that isn’t the exact same process and result as the household landline (with only one line) call waiting then I don’t know what it could be called 3 weeks ago Peak value for top talent is always in July The Marlins assume some risk holding onto him that long Both Marlins fans will be disappointed either way 3 weeks ago So far he hasn’t shown he is a top talent post-TJ 3 weeks ago Hardly anyone bounces back from TJ that quickly Another argument for letting him ride until July 3 weeks ago He wasn’t great during the season before the injury 3 weeks ago 2 weeks ago Nevertheless I agree with the premise of this article that he will be one of the hottest commodities in the trade market this summer Feel free to explain why you believe otherwise 2 weeks ago Does that mean he will have a lot of teams asking about him because back of the rotation starters are in high demand or does it mean he will have just a couple of teams asking about him because they think he is better than a #3 2 weeks ago I hope this clears up any confusion you may have 3 weeks ago They have traded every other good player they have had in the past 3 weeks ago I’ve followed his entire career and have watched every pitch he’s thrown He’s on the downslope and not worthy of anything more than a high AA 3 weeks ago pitchers coming off Tommy John are not workhorses Add in the fact that he missed time to injuries in 2018 and 2020 and definitely not a workhorse 3 weeks ago From now to the end of the yr who will have more innings The Dodgers would love to work it out for him He would slot into that team as maybe the most innings from any of their starters or close to it Who will have more innings Alcantra or Glasnow Having a guy who can go further gives the relef squad a break 2 weeks ago What does what a pitcher did after they signed have to do with what their value was before they signed Snell put up a 2.25 ERA with SD and a 3.12 ERA with SF before signing his deal He put up one of the best 2nd half in MLB history last season That is why he was worth so much in the FA market then got hurt and missed an entire season and now has a 4.70 ERA and got lit up in his last outing Innings or starts do not = value without high performance. See Patrick Corbin who never missed a start from 2021-2024 and had the 4th most starts in the game If Alcantara had put up a low 2 or even a low 3 ERA in 2023 like Snell did in his last 2 seasons before becoming a FA you might be able to say that he had Ace upside but he had a 4.14 ERA which was just a little better than average With declining SO rates and increasing BB rates that is not going to entice some team to pay a huge return for him for the 2025 stretch run He needs to prove he is better than a back of the rotation starter 1st That is why they should hold him at least until the deadline This season he started out ok with velocity right at his career averages but since then he has already had to skip a start since returning this season and his velocity in his 3rd start against the Nationals a game in which he got lit up for 4 runs in 5.2 IP The Marlins need to hold onto him and hope that he can turn things around this season so they can get a good return for him 2 weeks ago 3 weeks ago What else do the Padres have left to trade If they are trading for a starter you’d have to think one of their top two prospects would have to be included I wonder what starter the Rays are looking to trade after Joe Boyle flashed some potential Any of the Rays top five would cost a top prospect but Littell could probably be coaxed away for less than your top two 3 weeks ago Padres window closed two or three years ago after spending like clowns 3 weeks ago Id say they have to either trade both of their top two prospects and go for it this season or trade both of their starters and stack some prospects for ’26 Im interested to see which and would be surprised if they didnt make any trades at all 3 weeks ago You never know about injury or poor performance but the Padres still have a majority of the team under contract for ’26 and King this fall while Suarez will probably opt out; along with Hosmer’s contract ending they will have plenty of options and flexibility 3 weeks ago The Padres have the best record in baseball They ARE going for it and they will continue go for it for the foreseeable They haven’t had to trade their top two prospects either and have no reason to This is the deepest team in the franchise’s history 3 weeks ago BOTH Peralta and Suarez would have to have exceptional seasons to opt out Merely good would not be enough to get them more guaranteed money at 34 and 35 years old respectively the Padres will have likely gotten to best seasons they will have in the rest of their careers at that age I really hope they pitch well enough to opt out that is $78.9 million coming off the payroll and will leave the Padres approximately $45.6 million below the 1st CBT before arbitration raises With approximately $35 million in arbitration raises for 2026 if they retain everyone and Merrill’s new contract kicking in the Padres would be right around the CBT before filling any of the holes left by those players leaving 3 weeks ago There’s a new CBA coming in ‘26 and with the way salaries are skyrocketing the CBT will be raised without a doubt 3 weeks ago Pads fan..i totally get your excitement..i would be excited as well but lets not forget they have not even played 20 games yet and 13 of which have come at home..over 140 to go. 2 weeks ago Padres are certainly an interesting team as far as payroll and contracts go It will be interesting to see how they handle the the trade deadline because the pay increases to Machado and Tatis are approaching and they are going to bite 2 weeks ago MLB is already saying they will lock out the players again 2 weeks ago 2 weeks ago If the owners locked put prior to expiration they would be in breach of contract The most likely scenario is a lockout prior to 2027 like last time i think 2 weeks ago 2 weeks ago 1 week ago Mookie Betts stated that the Padres were actually a better team than the Dodgers when they met them in the playoffs last year 1 week ago AJ Preller and the Padres Scouting system has been among the best in baseball at finding drafting and signing talent both in the majors and internationally Many who do not know the Padres knack for finding “sleeper talent” say that every time the Padres make a trade that their farm is empty?

Chicago Red Stars Ally Sentnor and Claudia Zornoza continue to pull the strings in midfield for Utah but they'll have their hands full against a Courage squad that saw Ryan Williams and Kaleigh Kurtz

otherwise inconsistent campaign North Carolina are stacked with talent itching for a breakout with Shaw—still searching for her first goal in Courage colors—leading the list of players you simply can't afford to give space to Add in Kaleigh Kurtz's Ironwoman streak and a team starting to click at just the right time and this one has all the makings of a thriller Mandy McGlynn had an unconventional journey to becoming a premier NWSL goalkeeper from her Jacksonville roots to college at Virginia Tech Mandy McGlynn played the waiting game as she rose upward through the ranks of the United States Women’s National Team goalkeeping pool as a teenager committing to college soccer over 500 miles away from home to a determined backup not getting many chances amid the COVID-19 pandemic a year in Sweden focused on improving herself and becoming a premier goalkeeper in the NWSL with Utah Royals it was far from a straightforward path for McGlynn McGlynn’s rise began with her playing for local youth clubs including Jacksonville FC Storm and Orlando City ECNL as well as her Sandalwood High School team McGlynn made a name for herself earning numerous goalkeeping awards along the way becoming a professional soccer player was never really on her radar McGlynn’s plan was to have a great academic career and grow as much as she could between the sticks She had mostly settled on attending an Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) school to meet those goals McGlynn was primarily deciding between Virginia Tech and Clemson with Texas as another potential option that hung around due to its facilities and program investment located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Blacksburg “This is so sick,” McGlynn remembers telling herself They had a major that really was all I wanted to do.” The Hokies’ low position in the ACC proved to be another selling point I knew that they were at the bottom of the ACC,” McGlynn said “I knew I would get a lot of looks as a goalkeeper I just thought it was a perfect scenario for me That decision turned out to be a great one for McGlynn The keeper started in goal for 75 of the Hokies’ 78 games from 2016 to 2019 and picked up first-team All-ACC goalkeeper accolades for her last two seasons McGlynn wasn’t quite sure she wanted to become a professional long-term you should enter the draft next year,” McGlynn’s coaches told her when she was a college junior I had no idea what was going on in the professional world ‘You could be picked to play pro,’ I’m like McGlynn entered the 2020 NWSL draft where she was selected 20th overall by Sky Blue FC (now Gotham FC) the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the upcoming season McGlynn arrived in New Jersey as part of an already strong goalkeeping core including Canadian international Kailen Sheridan and Didi Haračić McGlynn got one chance to prove herself between the sticks for Gotham and I realized I had a lot of growth to do as a professional,” McGlynn said.” A lack of playing time was one of the factors that led to a move to Sweden where she signed with Piteå IF in the 2023 Damallsvenskan The other was a piece of advice given to her by now-Carolina Ascent Head Coach Phillip Poole Coincidental timing ultimately sealed the deal for McGlynn when her contract for Piteå arrived on her birthday “I always attribute Sweden as a transformative year for my career,” McGlynn said Just getting those 26 solid games in a really good league was pivotal for me and it gave me a lot of confidence to come back into the NWSL and fight to be a number one.” McGlynn returned to Gotham FC where she made 17 appearances and won the NWSL Championship with one of to be honest,” McGlynn said.“We’re winning 2-1 and I just have a feeling like something big is going to happen That moment came in the 96th minute of six added minutes as a long ball was played over the top toward Elyse Bennett at the top of the box With the ball seeming destined to meet her head McGlynn made a quick decision to make the block It was a save that was perfectly in-line with her mantra of taking things one step at a time “I went with my gut feeling,” McGlynn said.“I was just going off what I felt I had no pros and cons list going on in my head.” In an attempt to make the goal small for Bennett What do we do?’ I was actually surprised how long I stayed on the field because I got to set up the wall was forced to cover in goal as Gotham was out of substitutions it was pre-taped as if Gotham had already won making the sinking feeling of the split-second decision loom even larger like a muffled roar through the locker room doors Before McGlynn could process what was happening her goalkeeper coach came charging into the room in celebration she thought she might have cost her team the game and the championship After her time in Sweden and the run to an NWSL Championship McGlynn had grown her value within the league tremendously That led to her receiving the opportunity to join recently-returning Utah Royals ahead of the 2024 season This led to McGlynn’s breakout year with 84 saves a NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year nomination and a new five-year contract with Utah It also led her to another one of her major goals—debuting for the senior U.S McGlynn had represented the United States at the U-18 and U-20 levels continuing in the system seemed like it might be at its end as COVID caused her to get lost in a shuffle McGlynn finally got her shot and made her debut in a 3-0 victory over Argentina on October 30 McGlynn picked up in 2025 where she left off the previous season continuing to get call-ups to national team camps In the opening match of the 2025 season for Utah McGlynn found herself with another unusual moment for goalkeepers—becoming the 4th NWSL goalkeeper to ever provide an assist A post shared by National Women's Soccer League (@nwsl) “I honestly didn’t think much about it because I try to hit that ball a lot of times and they usually get picked off by the center back It was just like a personal little accomplishment but it wouldn’t have been as great if it wasn’t for Bianca (St-Georges) at the other end It was really like a fire start to the season,” recalled McGlynn McGlynn credits the foundation of her goalkeeping journey largely to Chris Barocas He’s the coach McGlynn still goes back to with clips of her gameplay Talk about coming full circle. @mandyhaught I can’t express how proud I am of what you have done and I’m glad I have been there to witness a couple moments along your journey. Thanks for everything! Can’t wait to see where you go from here. pic.twitter.com/IzCVYyG5TM “We have a great relationship,” McGlynn said Between him and former USWNT goalkeeper Jill Loyden McGlynn gives thanks for the perspective she has received from both as she has navigated a career that began as just fun as a youth into McGlynn becoming one of the best goalkeepers in the league McGlynn finds herself a consistent part of the USWNT goalkeeper conversation McGlynn shared her gratefulness to be a part of that conversation but I oftentimes remind myself to take a step back.” With eight goalkeepers getting call-ups over the last year McGlynn treasures the moment and opportunity “It’s just so cool to be a part of the conversation and compete at that level and be a part of this unprecedented time and see what happens.” With a rapidly growing corps of strong goalkeepers in the system and the continually expanding landscape of women’s soccer McGlynn’s path forward will likely not be straightforward the twists and turns of her career have prepared her for whatever comes next The Des Plaines History Center’s longtime volunteer Sandy Johnson received the Illinois Association of Museums 2025 Volunteer Service Award for her remarkable 30 years of volunteer service to the organization The History Center celebrated Johnson’s well-deserved honor on April 30 and presented her with a framed certificate from the IAM commemorating her achievement she is the heart and soul of the Des Plaines History Center and the 1907 Kinder House Museum,” said Stan Kotecki president of the Des Plaines History Center Board of Trustees Sandy has contributed her time and talents in virtually every area of the organization and engages our community with her wonderful storytelling ability.” Johnson’s expertise in archival work has been instrumental in preserving the history of Des Plaines Whether transcribing century-old diaries and correspondence identifying faces in faded photographs or researching the origins of local landmarks Sandy’s dedication has helped safeguard these irreplaceable records ensuring they remain accessible for future generations through the History Center’s collections and exhibits Johnson is also a recognizable presence in the History Center’s tent at the annual Fall Fest in September She can be found dressed in her 1800s reenactor’s garb demonstrating how to turn wool into yarn on a traditional spinning wheel much to the delight and fascination of kids and adults who have never seen this process Johnson represents the Des Plaines History Center at countless city events telling the public about the center’s various memberships and adult programs and the popular Hands-on-History children’s programs Johnson continues to inspire with her boundless energy and unwavering commitment to the History Center This recognition is a fitting tribute to her incredible impact but staying positive after bumpy night in LAApril 30th LOS ANGELES – Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara is one of the most confident players in the game but he finds himself in the midst of an existential crisis A dejected Alcantara walked off the field after an early exit for the second time in his last three starts during Tuesday night’s 15-2 Marlins loss to the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium This is certainly not the Alcantara the baseball world expected to see after a 17-month absence from Tommy John surgery but I feel terrible just being out there and having the same result and I can't do nothing when my teammates need me the most,” Alcantara said I'm tired of having the same success out there Coming off his first quality start of the season his last time out Alcantara surrendered seven runs on seven hits and five walks across 2 2/3 innings giving him four on the season – tied for second most in MLB Alcantara also permitted four steals for an MLB-high 11 allowed in 2025 This is a far cry from the pitcher who earned a workhorse reputation by tossing the most innings of any Major Leaguer from 2019-22 and won the ‘22 National League Cy Young Award “We just have to kind of go back to work there and try to figure that out,” Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said just getting command back and strike-throwing It was really a struggle from the first inning tonight just never really could catch a rhythm and get settled in Some pitches that were kind of more heart of the plate it's just as much trying to get back to commanding and executing pitches at the rate that we're all accustomed to.” So used to being on the right side of a leaderboard here is where Alcantara ranks among 119 Major League pitchers with a minimum of 25 innings this season: These were his career totals from 2018-23: Alcantara has given up as many hits (26) as innings he has pitched (26) His 8.31 ERA is the highest in any six-start span in his career Alcantara believes his atypically poor command could be due to his arm not being “on time” with his different release points “I know we’ve got like five more months left to get better and I’ve just got to keep working and keep positive.” Shohei Ohtani ambushed Alcantara’s first-pitch sinker and deposited it over the right-field wall for the third first-pitch homer in 144 career starts against Alcantara Seven other Dodgers would bat in a three-run first that included a mound visit and a pair of PitchCom issues while Alcantara was caught by Marlins No. 4 prospect Agustín Ramírez for the first time “It was big,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said but to be able to score three runs after we gave up [one] early says a lot about the offense and where we’re at.” So what can Alcantara and the Marlins do to help him regain his Cy Young form The FanDuel Sports Network Florida broadcast speculated whether the organization might place him on the 15-day injured list so he could work on things The more likely option would be going back to the drawing board during his pitch design session in-between starts “We'll put our heads together with him and just see what we think is the next best step to try to right the ship a little bit,” McCullough said “We certainly all know there's a much better version there and so we'll just have to go in tomorrow and see what we can all do to try to get it going.” Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics
