Andoni Iraola reveals concern over new Liverpool defensive signingLiverpool Team News: Gravenberch, Isak and Wirtz Set for Leeds Friendly ReturnLiverpool will finally get a proper look at three major names in Chicago. Ryan Gravenberch, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz are all expected to feature against Leeds United at Soldier Field, with Andoni Iraola confirming the plan ahead of Sundays pre-season fixture.That matters. These are not fringe players needing a token run-out. They are key parts of Liverpools build for the new season, and after arriving late to the USA camp, the head coach wants them on the pitch now, even if only in controlled spells.Iraola was clear enough: With Florian, Ryan and Alex, theyve been the ones arriving late. He added, I think weve been cautious in terms of giving them the time to reach to the level where the others are, because theyve been training for two weeks before them, but my idea is that the three of them will play the last game against Leeds.Gravenberch, Isak and Wirtz Minutes ManagedNo mystery here. Liverpool are not going to overload any of them. Iraola said, Probably well have to restrict their minutes. We still have another three weeks before the start of the season where they will play more, we can push them more. That is sensible, especially at this stage of pre-season.There was also a telling line from the head coach, and it goes to the point of these friendlies. But I think we need them to start as soon as possible because sometimes they have to make the mistakes now, so we can have time to correct them. That is honest coaching. Better the errors arrive in July than when the Premier League starts.Jeremy Jacquet Fitness Decision Still PendingOne player still in doubt is Jeremy Jacquet. The summer arrival missed the games against Sunderland and Wrexham after suffering what was described as discomfort in training, and Liverpool are not forcing the issue.Iraola said, With Jeremy we still dont know if its worth it or not to put him in against Leeds. He also made the wider situation plain: He did the first part of the pre-season, lets say, very well. Now hes feeling some discomfort, so we dont want to rush him.That caution is understandable. Jacquet has had a long spell without playing, and Liverpool are already light in senior central defence. As Iraola put it, He comes from a lot of months without playing. And obviously I would like to try with him with Virgil [van Dijk] when he recovers, because with the injury of Joe [Gomez] weve been without senior centre-backs. But we have to be careful with Jeremy, yes.Bajcetic and Endo Boost for LiverpoolThere is better news elsewhere. Stefan Bajcetic is effectively back in full training, while Wataru Endo is also closing in on a return. Iraola said, Stefan is training basically fully with the team. Wataru has started training more progressively but [is] very close to being ready.There is even a target for Endos comeback. I hope Wata can play probably against Monaco. He should be able to have some minutes. For more on Liverpools latest pre-season updates, details were first outlined here. For now, the headline is simple, Gravenberch, Isak and Wirtz are set to play, and that gives Liverpools pre-season some proper substance.

The MLB trade deadline is nearly upon us and the Cubs are right in the thick of the hot stove, with needs in the rotation and the backend of the bullpen.TRANSACTION TRACKERLAST UPDATED: Aug. 1 10:40 p.m.Acquisitions, updates & reactionsJuly 31 1:40 p.m.Tony Andracki: Freddy Peralta and Casey Mize were both scratched from their starts Friday with the New York Mets and Detroit Tigers, respectively.This is an understandable precaution teams take with the trade deadline so close and its a clear indicator that both pitchers should be on the move before Monday wraps up.The Cubs are in the market for starting pitching and either right-hander would represent a boost to the current rotation. Peralta is of particular interest given his rapport with Craig Counsell from their days in Milwaukee together. Peralta, 30, is mired in the worst season of his career (4.99 ERA, -0.2 WHIP). But he was an All-Star last season and finished fifth in NL Cy Young voting with the Brewers, posting a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and a league-leading 17 wins.Mize, 29, is a former first overall pick back in 2018. He has a 2.70 ERA this season, but has dealt with injury issues throughout his career, never topping more than 150.1 innings in a season. His velocity has also been down in a major way over his last couple starts.Both pitchers are free agents at the end of the season.[Watch the CHGO Cubs Podcast on YouTube]Other notable Cubs transactions since 7/27July 31[10:36 a.m.] The Cubs have recalled LHP Antoine Kelly from the Iowa Cubs (AAA) and placed RHP Gavin Hollowell on the 15-day injured list (right shoulder inflammation).July 29[5:05 p.m.] The Cubs have selected the contract of RHP Jake Woodford and designated RHP Andrew Wantz for assignment.July 27[3:31 p.m.] The Cubs have selected the contract of RHP Andrew Wantz and designated RHP Jameson Taillon for assignment.Possible targets & important notesSTARTING PITCHERSSandy Alcantara, RHP, Miami MarlinsThe Athletic (Jul. 29): The Marlins are unlikely to make Alcantara available before the deadline.Shane Bieber, RHP, Toronto Blue JaysReid Detmers, LHP, Los Angeles AngelsClay Holmes, RHP, New York MetsCasey Mize, RHP, Detroit TigersMize was scratched from his start Friday as a non-injury precaution leading up to the deadline.Freddy Peralta, RHP, New York MetsThe Athletic (Jul. 29): The Cubs have checked in on Peralta.Peralta was scratched from his start Friday for the Mets.Robbie Ray, LHP, San Francisco GiantsThe Athletic (Jul. 29): The Cubs are considering Tarik Skubal as their blockbuster option but would still prefer to acquire a starter under club control beyond this season.Jos Soriano, RHP, Los Angeles AngelsMichael Wacha, RHP, Kansas City RoyalsLogan Webb, RHP, San Francisco GiantsRELIEF PITCHERSAndrew Kittredge, RHP, Baltimore OriolesMason Miller, RHP, San Diego PadresLuke Weaver, RHP, New York MetsTargets headed elsewhere & other blockbustersTARIK SKUBAL Aug. 1 The Dodgers have acquired LHP Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers for OF Zyhir Hope, RHP River Ryan and RHP Brady Smith.

This massive trade across the sport will seriously put next season in jeopardy.The fire sale begins for the Detroit Tigers. Perhaps the Braves will get a piece of the pie with a Casey Mize trade, but this news is shocking and will have a large number of ripple effects.BREAKING: The Los Angeles Dodgers are finalizing a trade for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, sources tell ESPN.BREAKING: The Los Angeles Dodgers are finalizing a trade for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal, sources tell ESPN.

Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 2, 2026The writing was on the wall that Tarik Skubal was going to be dealt, but now that hes officially on the Los Angeles Dodgers, its scary hours for the rest of the National League.As for the Atlanta Braves part of this, while they traded for Lane Thomas earlier today, they absolutely must do more over the next two days if they want any chance of competing with the Los Angeles Dodgers.Chris Sale is a great ace, but this massive MLB trade will make it very hard for any team across the league to top the 2X World Series champions.The Braves are perhaps the top threat to the Dodgers right now, but a rotation consisting of Chris Sale, Grant Holmes, Bryce Elder, and Martin Perez just cant compete with Tarik Skubal, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Shohei Ohtani, and Tyler Glasnow.Where Do the Braves Go From Here?Look, however aggressive the Braves planned to be before this trade, they need to increase the urgency by about a million.Any players that Atlanta has been linked to, they need to go ahead and do everything in their power to get any possible trades done.Some of the players that the Braves have been linked to via trades are Casey Mize, Jose Soriano, Kevin Gausman, Robbie Ray, and Emerson Hancock.More MLB on Heavy: Recently Cut Los Angeles Dodgers Player Officially an MLB Free AgentLike HEAVY's content?Be sure to follow us.This article was originally published on HEAVYThe post Atlanta Braves Receive Devastating News on Trade Target Tarik Skubal appeared first on HEAVY.

Ajinkya Rahane retirement: Newly retired ex-India captain to receive hefty monthly pension from BCCI originally appeared on Cricket News. Add Cricket News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.KEY TAKEAWAYS:AjinkyaRahane retiredfrom cricket and is set to receive BCCI pension benefits.Revised 2022 pension scheme entitles him to a heftymonthly amount.Pension pauses if Rahane takes up an official BCCI administrative role.Ajinkya Rahane to receive substantial monthly pension from BCCI following retirementAjinkya Rahane brought the curtain down on his playing career on July 30, closing out a journey that included leading India to a landmark Border-Gavaskar Trophy win in Australia during the 2020-21 series as stand-in skipper.As the seasoned batter transitions into life after playing days, he'll naturally look toward fresh sources of income, and in that regard, he can count on the Board of Control for Cricket in India.Back in 2022, the BCCI overhauled its pension structure for cricketers who had hung up their boots.This change was rolled out during Sourav Ganguly's time as BCCI President.MORE:Who will be the KKR captain in IPL 2027? Three names who can replace Ajinkya RahaneHow much will Ajinkya Rahane earn as pension from BCCI?Given his tally of 85 Test appearances, Rahane qualifies for the board's highest pension bracket.Players with a similar level of experience previously received Rs 50,000 every month, but that figure was bumped up to Rs 70,000 monthly four years ago under the revised policy.As a result, Rahane will now draw a fixed Rs 70,000 each month going forward."It is extremely important that the financial well-being of our former cricketers is taken care of. The players remain the lifeline and, as a Board, it is our duty to be by their side once their playing days are over. The umpires have been unsung heroes, and the BCCI truly values their contribution," Ganguly said at the time.MORE:Why Bhuvneshwar Kumar could make it to India's 2027 ODI World Cup squad?What comes next for Ajinkya Rahane?Rahanehasn't yet spelt out exactly what his post-retirement path will involve.He has, however, indicated an interest in mentoring upcoming cricketers as the next phase of his journey.It's worth noting that his pension eligibility comes with a caveat: should he take on any official position within the BCCI, whether as an administrator or a coach, his pension payments would be paused for the duration of that role, since he would then be drawing a salary for those responsibilities instead.RecordAchievementInternational Career Span20112023International Matches195 (85 Tests, 90 ODIs, 20 T20Is)Total International Runs8,414International Centuries15 (12 Tests, 3 ODIs)International Fifties52 (26 Tests, 24 ODIs, 2 T20Is)Highest International Score188 (Test vs New Zealand, Indore, 2016)Test Matches85Test Runs5,077Test Batting Average38.46Test Centuries12Test Fifties26ODI Matches90ODI Runs2,962ODI Batting Average35.26ODI Centuries3ODI Fifties24T20I Matches20T20I Runs375T20I Batting Average20.83T20I Highest Score61International Catches150 (102 Tests, 48 ODIs)Test Captaincy Record6 matches, 4 wins, 2 draws, 0 defeatsMajor Captaincy AchievementLed India to a historic 2-1 Test series win in Australia (2020-21)Notable RecordOnly India men's Test captain to remain unbeaten after captaining in six or more TestsFor all the latest cricket news, opinion, and commentary and to share your voice, head to ourFacebook,Instagram,andX (Twitter)pages.
