Patriots urged to sign ex-Chiefs $54 million history-making WR as A.J. Brown backup plan originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The New England Patriots are all-in on the A.J. Brown offseason sweepstakes.All signs point to the Philadelphia Eagles' star wide receiver joining Drake Maye and the Patriots in 2026-27 and beyond, even though a potential deal was likely two months ago. However, theres always a chance that the Patriots could unexpectedly come up short in their pursuit of the three-time Pro Bowler, forcing them to pivot.Take the Baltimore Ravens, for example. The two-time Super Bowl champions were all in on landing Las Vegas Raiders star edge rusher Maxx Crosby, but health concerns caused the deal to fall through.Baltimore subsequently signed four-time Pro Bowler Trey Hendrickson instead. In the Eagles case, NESNs Aaliyan Mohammed believes the NFC East franchise should sign an ex-Kansas City Chiefs history-making WR (he broke the Chiefs single-season record for receptions in 2021-22) if theyre unable to poach Brown from Philadelphia for whatever reason.Adam Schefter reported earlier this month that the Patriots are 'likely' to trade for Brown after June 1, Muhammad wrote Thursday. The fact that the Philadelphia Eagles drafted a receiver in the first round and the fact that the Patriots did not draft a single receiver add fuel to the fire.However, until Brown is officially traded, there is a chance a different team will make the Eagles a better offer than the Patriots. What should the Patriots do in the off chance that happens?Well, Tyreek Hill is still available. Hill is an eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro. He led the league in receiving yards in 2023, but is coming off a major leg injury. Hill posted 3,509 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns in his first two years in Miami (Dolphins). However, in 2024, Tua Tagovailoa's inability to play consistently and stay healthy hurt Hill's numbers.Hill is coming off a devastating ACL injury suffered in Week 4 of the 2025-26 season. The Dolphins elected to waive the former fifth-round pick at the end of the year, allowing him to sign with whomever he pleases in free agency.Hill has been linked to a blockbuster reunion with the Chiefs, but its unclear if Kansas City is keen on bringing him back four years after shipping him to the Dolphins. Should the Eagles consider taking a chance on Hill in a hypothetical post-Brown trade pursuit scenario? It wouldnt hurt, but it wouldnt be as clear-cut a move as many think.Hopefully, for the Patriots sake, they wont have to resort to Plan B this offseason.More NFL:Giants closing in on ex-Texans $2 million starter, Dexter Lawrence replacementCowboys predicted to cut ties with George Pickens in favor of declining $10 million Bills WREagles named top landing spot for former Cowboys $21 million starter

Despite a 10-21 start and a recent 12-game losing streak, the New York Mets are expected to keep Carlos Mendoza as manager, according to president of baseball operations David Stearns. The Mets snapped their franchise-worst 12-game losing streak on April 22 with a 3-2 win over the Minnesota Twins. They've since lost five of the last six, including being swept by the Colorado Rockies. New York's 10-21 record is the worst in baseball. "We know our record is not what we want, and we know we are capable of more," Stearns said to MLB.com on Friday. "We dont view this as a manager problem, and we dont intend to make a change." The Mets are last in the National League East, two games behind the Philadelphia Phillies, who parted ways with manager Rob Thomson on Tuesday morning. The Phillies have since won three straight under interim manager Don Mattingly. Mendoza was hired in 2023 and is on the last guaranteed year of a three-year contract. He has led New York to a 182-173 overall record. The Mets collapsed in 2025, going from MLB's best record in June to barely finishing above .500, ending second in the NL East at 8379.

NEW DELHI: The much-hyped face-off between Mitchell Starc and teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi turned into an anti-climax as Kyle Jamieson stole the early spotlight in the IPL 2026 clash between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur on Friday.With anticipation building around Starcs first appearance of the season and his duel against the in-form youngster, fans were left disappointed as the contest never truly materialised. Sooryavanshi was dismissed by Jamieson in just the second over before he could even face Starc.RR skipper Riyan Parag had opted to bat first after winning the toss, but the decision quickly backfired as DCs pace attack struck early blows.Early drama, but no marquee clashStarc opened the bowling for DC and was immediately tested by Yashasvi Jaiswal, who smashed the very first delivery for a six. However, the experienced Australian had the last laugh.In the same over, Starc bowled a full toss on middle that surprised Jaiswal. Attempting to swing across the line, the batter mistimed it, ballooning the ball back to the bowler. Starc completed a simple caught-and-bowled to claim his first wicket of the season, sending Jaiswal back for 6 off 3 balls.At the other end, Sooryavanshi began brightly, stroking a confident boundary off his very first ball against Jamieson. But the promise was short-lived. On the very next delivery, a dipping low full toss sneaked under his bat, deflecting off the pad onto the stumps as he departed for 4 off 2 balls.Jamieson upstages Starc returnWhile Starcs return had dominated the pre-match narrative, it was Jamieson who ensured DC seized early control. By removing Sooryavanshi before the marquee clash could unfold, the New Zealander effectively shut the door on what was billed as the contests biggest subplot.With both aggressive RR openers back in the hut inside two overs, DCs revamped bowling attack made an immediate impact. Starcs comeback added intensity, but it was Jamiesons timely strike that defined the early momentum.

There is always baseball happening almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: The Phillies and Giants were rained out on Wednesday, forcing a doubleheader into existence on Thursday. One cant say that San Francisco would have won either of these contests had they happened at their regularly scheduled time, but, we can at least believe that they couldnt have gone much worse. The Giants lost both games, and both in the bottom of the ninth via walk-off. To kick things off in game one, designated hitter Kyle Schwarber hit career home run number 350 to cut the Giants early lead in half to 2-1. There would be no more scoring in the game until the ninth inning, from either team. And the Phillies finally scored there in an at-bat that should be studied in a lab. Righty reliever Ryan Walker threwnine sinkers in a row to second baseman Bryson Stott, all either completely outside the strike zone or at least on the far side of it, away from Stott. He managed to foul off the two of those pitches that entered the zone ever-so-slightly while he had two strikes, creating an opportunity for Walker to just miss completely with the ninth and final sinker, which catcher Patrick Bailey setup inside for in order to cross up Stott after all those pitches away, but it instead caught the exact middle of the plate and didnt do much sinking, either. The result? An RBI triple and a tie game. With Stott on third and two outs, it came down to center fielder Justin Crawford to keep this game from going to extras. Whereas Stott fought and fought until he got a pitch he could drive, Crawford jumped all over the first pitch he saw: a 95.7 mph sinker in the strike zone that he was able to poke toward shortstop, slow enough that Stott could score and he made it to first to beat the throw. The Phillies struck much more aggressively and convincingly in the second game. Shortstop Trea Turner led off with a home run, then Schwarber, playing in left, notched dinger 351 with a back-to-back shot. This was no joke of a homer, either: Schwarber hit this one 446 feet to right-center, obliterating a slider that did not slide nearly enough, and the Phillies were up 2-0. The Giants would continually answer, however, getting a run in the fourth and fifth and then two in the sixth, plus their fifth and final run was pushed across in the ninth to go ahead, 5-4. There, down to their final strike, Schwarber delivered once more. This one stayed in the park, but the result was the same: the Phillies scored a game-tying run thanks to Schwarber golfing a splitter beneath the strike zone into the corner in right, scoring DH Brandon Marsh. The Giants failed to score in the 10th, but Philadelphia did not. Stott bunted free baserunner Adolis Garcia over to third, then third baseman Alec Bohm hit a sacrifice fly to center to send the runner home. Ballgame Phillies, again. Thats the first time since 2004, perMLB, that a team has won both games of a doubleheader via walk-off. Its been a tough season for the Phillies so far, which got their previous manager, Rob Thomson, fired. But theyre 3-0 since, and coming off an exhilarating double-dose of walk-off wins. They still have quite a ways to climb, but with this roster, theres at least reason to hope that the rest of April can be put behind them, and that their season truly began this week. Well, okay, both grand slams happened in one game, but still. The Orioles played a makeup doubleheader against the Astros, just like the Phillies and Giants had their own, and Baltimore got its own little twist out of it. In this case, a pair of base-clearing dongs. The first featured Astros center fielder Brice Matthews thinking that he actually robbed catcher Adley Rutschman of a dinger, but then realizing that no, that ball went over the fence. Rutschman, by the way, is hitting .356/406/.661 on the season, and has a 1.360 OPS in the six games since he returned from the IL. After a disappointing 2025, this is the kind of start the Orioles needed to see out of their now-veteran backstop. The second grand slam came by way of Jeremiah Jackson in the bottom of the seventh. The Os second baseman just got this one over the wall, too, but at least it wasnt in any danger of being pulled back in. Baltimore would end up downing Houston, 10-3, but dont fret, Astros fans. Houston won the other game, 11-5, and part of the reason for that was Yordan Alvarezs continued resurgence from an injury-filled 2025. The Astros DH went yard for the 12th time in 2026 to put Houston up 6-0 in the second, following a strong first inning in which right fielder Cam Smith had hit a three-run homer to cap a five-run frame. Alvarez is now tied with Yankees star Aaron Judge and White Sox rookie Munetaka Murakami for the league lead in homers. Judge, you expect to see there, but Alvarez coming back with a vengeance like this and Murakami making his presence felt is something to behold. This was just a horrid start for Orioles right-hander Brandon Young, who lasted four innings while allowing 10 hits, two walks, two homers and 10 runs, seven of them earned. Again, though, two grand slams fixed/caused any potential issues in the other game, so, the day was a wash for both teams. The Mets. They have lost 17 of 20 games, despite being scheduled against the Twins, Rockies and Nationals to end April. As FOX Sports Deesha Thosar pointed out, thats thefourth-worst April the Mets have had in their entire history. The problems are numerous enough for Thosar to list out and break down but lets just focus on Thursdays tilt against the Nats for a one-day look. Juan Soto is back, which is a boon for the Mets lacking lineup, except even the star outfielder cant always escape the gravitational pull of this team. Right fielder James Wood brought him back down to Earth, robbing Soto of a solo homer in the first inning. The Nationals would then drop three runs on Mets starter Freddy Peralta across the second and third innings, but New York fought back almost immediately. Left fielder MJ Melendez hit a three-run home run off of Miles Mikolas in the bottom of the third, somehow taking this pitch way above the strike zone at his shoulders out of the park. Tie game. New York would push another run across in the sixth to go up 4-3, but that would be the end of their scoring. Peralta settled down, but he was lifted after six, and thats where the problems began anew. Brooks Raley came on in relief and picked up a hold with a scoreless seventh, but Luke Weaver then came in for him, and did not perform nearly as well. Shortstop CJ Abrams, who had already driven in a run earlier, hit a Weaver changeup left over the middle of the zone 403 feet over the fence in right-center, putting Washington up 5-4. That would also be the final score. The Mets are 10-21, the worst record in MLB, and just got through what was supposed to be an easier part of the schedule. The calendar couldnt flip over to May any faster for them, but it might not necessarily mean better things, considering. The Mets did, at least, give their fans quite the first pitch. Or a bunch of first pitches. Look, its the Team USA figure skaters throwing out the first pitch(es). Athletics first baseman won American League Rookie of the Year honors in 2025, and in 2026 hes off to a slow start in some regards, but only some. Thats because, despite batting .231 to begin the year and facing a (relative) power outage, Kurtz has an OPS of .842 supported by a .417 on-base percentage. Kurtz went 1-for-3 with 2 RBIs, a run and a walk against the Royals on Thursday in a 6-3 As victory, and that walk added another game to a historic streak he has going on. The 23-year-old Kurtz has now walked in 19-straight games, tied with Hall of Famer and one of the all-time greats in Ted Williams. Hes behind only Barry Bonds 20-game streak across the 2002-2003 seasons and Roy Cullenbines 22-game streak from 1947 for the longest such run in MLB history. The hits and homers will come, especially if he has the eye to draw this many walks, and if they dont come to the same degree as last year, its only because pitchers are terrified of his prodigious pop. But that careful pitching around him will just mean a whole lot more walks, and the As have plenty of other hitters to drive him in. Ronald Acua Jr.s defense is his one true weak spot, but thats just in general. If you want to talk about the strength of his arm, that thing is a cannon. The Braves right fielder reminded everyone of that on Thursday with this deep throw to get second baseman Gleyber Torres as he attempted to stretch a single into a double. Not on Acuas watch. And hey, a bonus high-five for a fan after a catch in right. The Braves would end up losing to the Tigers, 5-2, as Detroit avoided the sweep, but these two plays can still be appreciated for what they are. Speaking of a defensive play, Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz made the kind that you only used to see back before restrictions were put on how far fielders could change their positioning with shifting. Look at the range on display here on this grounder from Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield, which was hit to second and made its way into the outfield grass. Then, De La Cruz happened. It would have been enough if De La Cruz had merely gotten to it and kept it from becoming an extra-base hit, but he stood up and fired the ball to first in time to get Rumfield for the out. What an impressive player hes become over the years.
