Phillies' 'sneaky good' trade with Mets is bullpen upgrade for Don Mattingly originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Philadelphia Phillies bolstered their bullpen at the trade deadline.They acquired right-hander Caleb Kilian in a trade with the San Francisco Giants for three-time batting champion Luis Arraez, and left-hander Brooks Raley from the New York Mets.Raley, a Major League veteran of nine years, could prove to be a "sneaky good" pickup for the Phillies, writes Bleacher Report's Tim Kelly."However, Brooks Raley was a pretty big get for a team that has had questionable bullpen performance outside of All-Star closer Jhoan Duran," Kelly wrote.In 45 games this season, Raley has a 1.96 ERA, 40 strikeouts, and a 33.9% ground-ball rate over 41.1 innings.He's capable of getting hitters out from each side of the plate.MORE:Braves get unexpectedly weak grade from ESPN for Lane Thomas trade with Royals"Perhaps the only concern with Raley is he's 38 years old, and you never know if older pitchers will wear down in September and October," Miller added. "As is, though, he immediately leapfrogs Orion Kerkering and Jos Alvarado, joining Jonathan Bowlan as the most trusted setup options for Don Mattingly."With Jhoan Duran at closer, Raley may be Mattingly's go-to guy in late-game situations.Right-handed batters have a .636 OPS against Raley in 88 at-bats this season, potentially giving Philadelphia's skipper confidence to give the lefty a longer leash.More MLB news:Cubs land Kevin Gausman in blockbuster trade with Blue JaysWhat did Mets get for Freddy Peralta?

Spalletti: Juventus had good attitude with Chelsea, David couldnt do moreLuciano Spalletti explains the positives from Juventus beating Chelsea 1-0, updating Kenan Yildiz fitness, and why Jonathan David was hauled off. He couldnt do more.HONG KONG, CHINA AUGUST 5: Danny Welbeck of Chelsea FC (L) and Manuel Locatelli of Juventus FC (R) Competes for the ball during the Chelsea v Juventus Pre-Season Friendly at the Kai Tak Stadium on August 5, 2026 in Hong Kong, China.

(Photo by Valerio Pennicino/Getty Images)We managed to remain a team unit throughout the match, both when suffering under pressure, and on the counter-attack, Spalletti told Sky Sport Italia.The attitude was one of unity. Chelsea know how to do everything, build from the back, finish, set off with pace, so it was important that we didnt bow down to them.HONG KONG, CHINA AUGUST 5: Edon Zhegrova of Juventus FC (L) celebrates after scoring his goal wth Kenan Yldz of Juventus FC (R) during the Chelsea v Juventus Pre-Season Friendly at the Kai Tak Stadium on August 5, 2026 in Hong Kong, China. (Photo by Yu Chun Christopher Wong/Eurasia Sport Images/Getty Images)Kenan Yildiz has struggled with a recurring knee issue for months and came off the bench today to provide the assist for Zhegrova.He is a very important player for us, we are limiting the minutes he has on the field as part of a planned process. He no longer feels pain and is smiling, so thats good to know, added Spalletti.Zhegrova scored a great goal, but the most important thing was the performance, his attitude throughout the match. He lost the ball a few times, but also showed what he can do when it is at his feet. A player must never stop working to become stronger.There were a few eyebrows raised when David came on at half-time today, only to be substituted off again after 30 minutes.Its August, you have to do a lot of substitutions and strategic ones too, explained the coach.I gave debuts to two youngsters, and had David on the field for 30 minutes, he couldnt do more at this moment in time. I thought it better to use him at half-time when the game was still more lively.Randal Kolo Muani and Kerim Alajbegovic arrived over the weekend, from Paris Saint-Germain and Bayer Leverkusen respectively, but more reinforcements are expected.As Ive already said, I have a very good rapport with the club, we talked and they are working to get the best outcomes, concluded Spalletti.

Johannesburg, August 5, 2026: The milestone fifth season of the SA20 is set to get bigger and better, with T20 superstars Mitchell Marsh, Joe Root, Sam Curran, Jason Holder and Phil Salt joining the fold as the six franchises confirmed their pre-auction retentions and signings ahead of the new edition. Durban's Super Giants and Paarl Royals are the only two teams to have completed their 19-player squads before the auction, with 19 slots still available across the remaining four teams.Mitchell Marsh, Australia's T20 captain and part of the Leeds side in the Sunrisers universe in The Hundred, is in line to make his SA20 debut for the three-time champions Sunrisers Eastern Cape. Marsh will join the likes of Quinton de Kock, Matthew Breetzke, Jordan Hermann and captain Tristan Stubbs in a powerful batting line-up, set to enthral the loyal St George's Park crowd.Further north, Sam Curran, who represented MI Cape Town in the first two seasons, will don the Durban's Super Giants colours, where he will team up with his England teammate Jos Buttler. Joe Root, England's returning Test captain, who formed a formidable opening partnership with young Lhuan-dre Pretorius for the Paarl Royals a couple of seasons ago, returns to Boland Park for another season in pink.The runners-up, Pretoria Capitals, have received a significant boost to their top order with the additions of Phil Salt and Australian international Matt Short. Salt, who has represented the Capitals previously, will reunite with Short at the top of the order, with the pair currently opening together for Welsh Fire in The Hundred. The duo adds further firepower to a batting line-up featuring Dewald Brevis, Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Russell and last season's breakout star Connor Esterhuizen. England all-rounder Will Jacks, who enjoyed three sensational seasons with the Capitals, has moved down south to Cape Town to complete the trio of MI franchises, being part of the Mumbai Indians in the IPL and currently playing for the MI London setup in The Hundred."Season 5 is shaping up to be our strongest yet," SA20 League Commissioner Graeme Smith said. "Bringing in a player of Mitchell Marsh's calibre alongside the class of Joe Root, Sam Curran and Phil Salt shows the growing pull of our league on the global stage. What excites me most is seeing that quality alongside South Africa's international and domestic stars at the peak of their powers.""The franchises head into the auction with the majority of their squads already locked in, which speaks volumes about the stability and consistency we have built. This sets us up for a highly competitive Season 5," Smith concluded.On the other hand, MLC-winning captain Jason Holder will don the yellow of the Joburg Super Kings, who are on the hunt for a new captain after parting ways with Faf du Plessis, who led the side in its first four seasons. Among the other prominent releases is England wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow, who formed a formidable opening partnership with Quinton de Kock for the Sunrisers. MI Cape Town have also parted ways with long-serving players Trent Boult, Rassie van der Dussen and Kieron Pollard, while the likes of Wiaan Mulder and Nandre Burger, who were marquee signings for the Super Kings, will also enter the auction pool.The Super Kings and MI Cape Town will be the busiest teams at the auction, needing to sign seven and six players respectively, while the Capitals have five vacant slots to fill. All six teams have filled their overseas pre-signing slots, while the Super Kings will be eligible for a wildcard pick.Season 5 of the SA20 gets underway on Sunday, January 17, at St George's Park, with the Sunrisers taking on the Capitals in a repeat of last season's final. The competition culminates with the Final at Newlands on Sunday, February 21.
