Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn ImagesPHOENIX Buzz over the Phoenix Mercurys blockbuster Kelsey Plum trade continues to dominate the conversation around the league, with one former player giving her perspective on the move.News of the trade broke late Saturday night, with the five-time All-Star making her way to the Valley to help bolster a team looking to slip into the postseason. However, the trade package sent guard Monique Akoa Makani to the Los Angeles Sparks along with two high draft picks.Many questioned whether the package was too much to give up for a player who is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, but former Mercury player Adrian Williams-Strong doesnt see it that way.Jun 13, 2026; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum (10) celebrates after defeating the Phoenix Mercury in overtime at Mortgage Matchup Center.

It shows that we have not given up on the season and are making moves to win.Williams-Strongs comments reflect a win-now mentality rather than writing off the season. Instead, theres still a postseason berth to chase, and Plum could be the catalyst that helps Phoenix erase its six-game deficit and make a late playoff push.Jun 13, 2026; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Los Angeles Sparks guard Kelsey Plum (10) passes around Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas (25) in the first half at Mortgage Matchup Center.

Around Phoenix, making the playoffs isnt just viewed as a possibility its the expectation. Her comments reflect that standard, and the front offices aggressive move for Plum suggests it feels the same way.At 11-19 with only 14 games left to make a push, theres little room for error.

The one Cincinnati Red who was never going to get traded before the Aug. 3 deadline has heard his name come up, if only in dream scenarios by other teams, like the Boston Red Sox.Its a first for All-Star shortstop Elly De La Cruz, but it almost certainly wont be the last time his name comes up in trade speculation as the clock ticks toward his free agency after the 2029 season. Especially if the Reds don't get the next retooling of the roster right.Im not the one who makes those calls, he said, adding he hasnt thought about trades even as several teammates are on the trade block and even as his name has come up this time around. You know, its a business. But I dont know.Reds Pirates Chase Burns Reds top Pirates behind some of their best young starsDe La Cruz, 24, has been at the center of the Reds competitive plans since his jaw-dropping midseason debut in 2023.But by the time this season ends, theyll have spent more than half of his club-controlled years with the team earning just one, two-game playoff cameo along with what could be two losing seasons among his first three full seasons in the majors.Maybe thats why clubs such as the Red Sox are asking about him this far out from his walk year, and reportedly offering a bunch of prospects. Maybe thats why some rival evaluators speculated among themselves last month about what it might take to get the Reds to consider trading both Hunter Greene and De La Cruz at this years deadline never mind the sizable public-relations nightmare it would create.The problem is that the longer the Reds fail to win theyre burning up one of their most precious resources: De La Cruzs prime.De La Cruzs agent, Scott Boras, outlined the argument against signing a long-term extension with the Reds before De La Cruz had a full season in the majors.And when the two-time All-Star turned down a 12-year offer believed to be in the $240 million range before the 2025 season, it all but assured the timeline for his services in Cincinnati are likely to expire when the Reds play their final game of 2029.Asked about his desire to stay with the club long-term with a strong enough offer, De La Cruz said, Im just thinking about playing day by day. Im not thinking about that stuff.De La Cruzs value has never been so obvious as it has been since he returned from a hamstring injury in late June.The two-time All-Star, who probably missed a selection this season because of the first injury-list stint of his career, has been torrid at the plate from the leadoff spot for the last month, showing off his power and jacking up the RPMs on the base paths almost weekly all month.A little chip on his shoulder from what some consider an All-Star snub?No, he said. Just chill. I know I missed a lot of games. Thats why I didnt go to the All-Star game.Mostly, hes just feeling much better physically than he has in a long time.The result: In 27 games from June 29 through the end of July, De La Cruz hit .306 with six home runs, a .400 on-base percentage, 14 extra-base hits overall and a .974 OPS. Oh, and he was 10-for-11 on steal attempts.Im not worried about numbers, he said. I just want to win.Thats the point. It has been from the start for both parties.And now with this season mired in a last-place slog, the clock starts ticking a little louder when it comes to getting the roster right quickly heading into next season with the whole scenario complicated by a looming labor lockout. (Not to mention Hall of Fame manager Terry Francona heading into the final guaranteed year of a three-year deal that has a club option for a fourth.)If the fortunes of this club dont turn quickly over the next year or so, the fortunes of De La Cruzs career will be found within greener payrolls somewhere else.And the trade speculation will likely turn into real conversations during what figure to be some expensive seasons the next three years.If the rumors become more than rumors next year, or the year after?I dont think about that. I just think about playing, De La Cruz said. Thats not my business. I just play.If they trade me, I cant control that.This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Another lost season means clock ticks louder on Elly De La Cruz tenure

The Cincinnati Reds, perhaps to be expected, have waited until the final 24 hours before the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline to deal veteran players from their last-place roster.With seven pending free agents and a at least two other players under club control drawing interest into the final day before the 6 p.m. deadline, a flurry of deals are all but certain.Which Reds players could be traded?Here is the Reds trade-chip report heading into the final hours (*-pending free agent):On the move? Emotional Tyler Stephenson braces for trade after long-ball farewellReds trade deadline: Brock Burke, Reds teammates brace for 24-hour trade flurry to deadlineCatcher Tyler Stephenson* (.256, 9 HR, .759 OPS): The longest-tenured Red hit a home run Sunday in what even he believed would be his final at-bat in 11 years with the organization. A lot of emotions, he said afterward. He has significantly raised his trade value in his last 35 games, going 39-for-112 (.348) with five home runs 10 doubles, 13 walks, 15 RBIs and a .992 OPS.Right-handed starter Brady Singer* (5-10, 4.35 ERA): The overall numbers and more than $4 million left on his contract dont tell the whole story of his value, which has increased since getting past early-season blister and foot issues. He has a 2.70 ERA and 1.182 WHIP in his past 10 starts.Right-handed starter Hunter Greene (2-2, 6.83 ERA): Greene makes this list less because of an especially strong desire to move him than because of strong interest from some other teams in the 2024 All-Star in the wake of trades that took top pitchers Tarik Skubal and Freddy Peralta off the market. Greene is especially attractive for the cost certainty of the next two years ($15 million and $16 million) and club option ($21 million) remaining on his contract. He has been up and down in five starts since returning from elbow surgery to remove bone chips but has flashed his trademark swing-and-miss stuff.Left-handed reliever Brock Burke* (2.52 ERA, 56 games): The veteran has been one of the most reliable pitchers on the Reds staff this year, leading the league in appearances (56) and turning in his best overall performance in four years so far. He comes with the added value of postseason experience for the Rangers 2023 World Series champs.Left-handed pitcher Caleb Ferguson* (1-0, 4.01 ERA, 26 games): A deadline move for Ferguson would mark his third consecutive season of being traded at the deadline. He missed almost the first two months due to a right oblique injury. He had a 1.76 ERA entering July but has struggled over the past month.Third baseman/DH Eugenio Surez* (14 HR, 39 RBIs, .663 OPS): Surez, who hit 49 home runs last year, was moved at last year's trade deadline, taking his power and home runs from Arizona to Seattle, where he came within a game of winning the AL pennant. He's disappointed in Cincinnati partly due to missing a month due to a left oblique injury but he hit six homers in July.The $5 million left on his one-year deal makes it harder to deal him for value.First baseman/DH Nathaniel Lowe* (12 HR, 35 RBIs, .799 OPS): Lowe has been a versatile and productive platoon player throughout 2026, both defensively and at the plate where he has raked against right-handers this year. He might have the most raw power of any Reds player in 2026.Right-handed pitcher Pierce Johnson* (2-1, 4.96 ERA, 37 games): A veteran backbone in the rebuilt Reds bullpen, Johnson missed about a month of the season due to right-elbow inflammation. He has been healthy since, and If he can get back to the postseason, he has a .150 ERA over 12 playoffs appearances. Outfielder JJ Bleday (19 homers, 46 RBI, .803 OPS): The lefty-hitting Bleday, who has two years of club control left, spent the first month of the season in Triple-A Louisville, but still is on pace a career year offensively. The price for him might be steep because Terry Francona likes Bleday, and hes as likely to open next season in the Reds lineup as get traded now.This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: 9 Cincinnati Reds who could be dealt by MLB trade deadline

WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 02: Alexandra Eala of the Philippines looks on during a women's singles championship match against Jessica Pegula of the United States on the final day of the Mubadala DC Open 2026 at William H.G. FitzGerald Tennis Center on August 02, 2026 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty Images) GettyAlex Ealas pursuit of her first WTA title will stretch into another day.The Mubadala DC Open womens final between Eala and Jessica Pegula was postponed overnight after persistent rain prevented play from resuming Sunday at the Rock Creek Park Tennis Center in Washington.ABS-CBN reporter Dyan Castillejo, who was at the venue, reported at 9:07 p.m. that play had been abandoned for the night and would resume Monday. A restart time had not been announced.The match will continue from the point at which it was suspended. Pegula leads 6-4, 1-2, with Eala ahead in the second set and the players due to return at the changeover.Mondays starting time will depend on the weather, court conditions and the tournaments revised order of play. Philippine viewers will also need to account for the 12-hour time difference: A Monday daytime restart in Washington would occur Monday night in Manila.Rain Wipes Out Multiple Restart AttemptsThe final was originally scheduled to begin at noon Sunday but was delayed for approximately three hours by rain and lightning.Pegula and Eala eventually took Stadium Court around 3 p.m. The American converted two of her three break-point opportunities to capture a closely contested opening set 6-4.Eala responded by holding twice to lead 2-1 in the second set. Neither player faced a break point in those three games, and the Filipina won all seven points played behind her first serve.Rain returned with the players at the second-set changeover, suspending the final at 3:57 p.m. after only 55 minutes of tennis.Organizers spent the next five hours searching for a playable window. Several projected resumption times came and went as intermittent showers repeatedly interrupted the court-drying process.Shortly before 6 p.m., the tournament announced that lightning was no longer in the vicinity. Conditions improved enough for crews to work on the court, but the rain returned before the players could begin warming up.Castillejo reported at 8:06 p.m. that the court was almost dry. Less than an hour later, she delivered the discouraging update that rain had returned and left the surface wet again.That shower ended any realistic chance of completing the final Sunday.Alex Ealas Historic Bid Put on HoldThe postponement leaves both finalists facing the unusual challenge of carrying the tension of a championship match overnight.Pegula stands one set from her third title of the season, the 12th of her career and her second in Washington. She won her first WTA trophy at the tournament in 2019.Eala, meanwhile, must win two sets Monday to claim her first tour-level singles championship. The 21-year-old is contesting her second WTA final and her first at the 500 level.The Filipina reached the championship match by defeating Zheng Qinwen, defending champion Leylah Fernandez, world No. 10 Elina Svitolina and four-time Grand Slam winner Naomi Osaka.Pegula won their only previous meeting, prevailing 7-6 (3), 5-7, 6-3 in the 2025 Miami Open semifinals.Their rematch has already extended across two days. The winner will finally be decided Monday, weather permitting.Like HEAVY's content?Be sure to follow us.This article was originally published on HEAVYThe post Eala vs. Pegula Washington Final Postponed: When Will Match Resume? appeared first on HEAVY.

Head coach Kevin O'Connell of the Minnesota Vikings looks on against the Atlanta Falcons during the first quarter in the game at U.S. Bank Stadium on September 14, 2025 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by David Berding/Getty Images) GettyThe Minnesota Vikings had a very productive practice on Saturday, and several things stood out to the writers who were there. The connection between quarterback Kyler Murray and wide receiver Justin Jefferson in particular caught the attention of some writers.Murray was 14-of-17 on the day, and was sufficient in doing so. He also was able to connect with Jefferson a bunch, as the two continue to get acclimated and acquainted on the field.Vikings Duo Showing ChemistryOf course, linking up with your star wide receiver is never a bad thing. Even still, it certainly is heading in the right direction. SKOR Norths Jason Harmon noticed this immediately.Murray was precise, effective, and decisive in 11-on-11 work and utilized Justin Jefferson early on an impressive pass downfield. While the two are still figuring out their timing together, the potential is already flashing.Jefferson noted on Friday that he was seeing improvements with both quarterbacks over the course of this camp. He reiterated that he is having dialogue with both of them and just trying to get on the same page. This is certainly important, as Jefferson will be a key part of the offense, as he has been throughout his entire Vikings career.In the meantime, Murray and Jefferson have begun to find a connection during the course of practice. This was evident earlier last week. Jefferson and Murray connected on five of eight passes, as the quarterback was working on vertical routes. Murray went 8-for-8 on the drill overall, and five catches to Jefferson are certainly a step in the right direction.Vikings QB Has Up-And-Down Deep BallThat Murray deep-ball is polarizing in and of itself. Murray tied for seventh in the NFL with a 62.5% well-drawn percentage on passes of 20+ yards when he has been healthy. However, he ranked 39th in accuracy and 38th in completion rate on 20-plus-yard throws last season.Breaking this down even further, the quarterback slipped to last in the NFL with a 21% completion rate on passes over 25 yards. This was according to statistics from Roto Wire. There were concerns about how Murray threw the deep ball. However, those were put to rest by SKORs Judd Zulgad earlier last week.Time will tell how Jefferson and Murray will pan out. Jefferson himself will be looking to bounce back from a season that saw him record only 12.5 yards per reception. He tallied only two touchdowns last season. With that being said, he still had a 1,000-yard year. It seems as though Jeffersons skill set allows him to adapt to whoever is under center.Practice will be important for these two over the course of the next couple of weeks. If Murray can continue to refine that deep call, the pair should be able to have an exciting year. Of course, that all depends on Murray winning the quarterback competition. Nevertheless, a positive trend with Jefferson will certainly be able to work in his favor as Kevin OConnell makes his decision.Either way, Jeffersons playmaking ability should be exciting for any quarterback. He has been one of the most dynamic receivers ever since he came into the league, and it would be reasonable to expect that cannot change anytime soon. Quarterback play has been inconsistent for the Vikings, but the one constant has been Jefferson. If anything, thats been a theme throughout the course of his career.Like HEAVY's content?Be sure to follow us.This article was originally published on HEAVYThe post Vikings New QB-WR Connection Is Already Turning Heads appeared first on HEAVY.
