Braves predicted to sign $85M ex-Cubs Gold Glove finalist with power bat after career-best season originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Atlanta Braves won the NL East last season and nearly reached 100 wins, which was a great accomplishment. However, the beginning of the season was plagued by injuries and a suspension.
The Braves signed Jurickson Profar two offseasons ago, but the move has been nothing but detrimental. In fact, he has missed 243 games due to suspensions, including a year-long suspension in 2026.
"Atlanta Braves designated hitter Jurickson Profar is facing a 162-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug for the second time in the last year, sources told ESPN on Tuesday. Profar, 33, is the sixth player to receive a 162-game ban for PED use since Major League Baseball increased the penalty for two-time offenders to a full season in 2014. He will forfeit the entirety of his $15 million salary," ESPN's Jeff Passan wrote.
Heading into the offseason, one of the biggest questions for Atlanta will be how it addresses left field.

Nearly one in three veterans who relies on the government for health care could benefit from taking psychedelic drugs like magic mushrooms or MDMA.
That's not the ******* sment of some hippie or fading 1960s rock star. It came from Andrew Gradison, a senior adviser at President Donald Trump's Veterans Health Administration. Gradison told a conference for psychedelics enthusiasts this month that he is eager to ramp up the VA's capacity to give the drugs to as many as 2.1 million veterans with mental illnesses like post-traumatic stress disorder or depression. Gradison said 6.4 million veterans regularly rely on the VA for care.
No government regulator has deemed psychedelics safe or effective for mental illness. Under former President Joe Biden, the Food and Drug Administration in 2024 resoundingly rejected a proposal to authorize MDMA — also known as ecstasy — combined with talk therapy, to treat people with PTSD.
But psychedelics are getting a second chance in the Trump administration. Trump in April issued an executive order to accelerate research, clinical trials and patient access to the drugs. Republicans in Congress are among psychedelics' biggest backers. And the constituency they are seeking to please, veterans, are disproportionately Republicans.
Veterans, frustrated with high suicide rates among their fellow ex-service members, are lobbying aggressively to see Trump follow through.

Hugh Hefner's widow, Crystal Harris, has urged Jessica Biel not to play the Playboy founder's wife in a new movie about life in the mansion.
Earlier this week, it was announced that Biel had joined the cast of the new movie Playmates, inspired by writer/director Lorraine Nicholson's own experiences at the Playboy mansion during her childhood.
Harris DM'd Biel, and then shared that Instagram message on her grid, tagging the actor.
"Please reconsider playing Hugh Hefner's 'wife' if this film intends to romanticise him or the Playboy world," she wrote.
"I was actually his wife, and I experienced ***** ual, emotional, financial and physical abuse in that relationship. Many other women have come forward with allegations of rape, coercion, drugging and exploitation as well.
"There are also deeply troubling concerns involving minors. I hope everyone involved in this film takes the time to listen to the women who lived it before helping Hollywood turn it back into nostalgia."

Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) is offering a dividend yield of roughly 6% today. That is well above the roughly 1% yield on offer from the S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and the 1.4% average yield of pharmaceutical stocks. There are good reasons for the negative view of Pfizer, but investors may be ignoring the company's over 100-year history of success. Here's why you may want to consider buying this out-of-favor dividend stock while others are fearful.
Pfizer's stock rocketed higher during the coronavirus pandemic, as investors myopically focused on the company's COVID vaccine. When COVID turned out to be a less serious long-term threat than originally believed, Wall Street dumped Pfizer. At this point, the stock is down more than 50% from its 2021 high. That is a big part of the story behind the high yield.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
However, there's another piece that is more fundamental to the pharmaceutical industry. Like all drug makers, Pfizer's drugs receive time-limited patent protections. When patents expire, generic versions of the medications can be produced. That generally leads to a dramatic decline in revenue from Pfizer's drugs. Right now, Pfizer is facing down some notable patent expirations. This is a completely normal dynamic in the pharmaceutical sector.
Patent expirations are why drug companies are always on the lookout for new drugs. The problem is that patent expirations follow a set schedule, but drug development does not. Pfizer's drug pipeline isn't producing major new drugs right now, and it looks like it may have to work through a period in which new drugs won't fully offset revenue lost to patent expirations. This isn't uncommon, either, but investors are likely focusing on the short term rather than the long term when it comes to Pfizer.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — President Donald Trump, facing protesters and a poor political climate, fought to rally Texas voters behind Senate candidate Ken Paxton on Wednesday night in a bid to stave off sweeping Democratic victories in the nation's most populous red state.
But Trump's remarks were not focused solely on Paxton.
Speaking to a packed Freeman Coliseum, Trump also pledged to award retired baseball star Roger Clemens the Presidential Medal of Freedom, restated his support for the death penalty for drug dealers and clarified recent comments in which he talked about the possibility of Iran bombing American cities as part of a recurring riff about how high fuel costs are "a small price to pay" for the war.
"You want to see problems? Let them hit San Diego, let them hit Los Angeles," Trump said. "We're not going to let that happen. We protect our cities. We protect our country."
The president's message was interrupted repeatedly by protesters, including by one who appeared to be close to the stage. In all, at least a dozen demonstrators interrupted the president. Some were led away by police.

Students at Cornell University began what was billed as a seven-hour sit-in on Wednesday in solidarity with "Jane Doe," the former student who alleges she was drugged and raped by multiple members of a fraternity on its Ithaca, N.Y., campus in October 2024.
"Seven hours for the seven hours she endured," a coalition of Cornell student groups said in an Instagram post announcing the demonstration. "Seven hours of solidarity. Seven hours demanding change."
About 80 students gathered in a campus dining hall named for Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison on Wednesday afternoon, according to NBC News. The protest was part of "Zero Day," which organizers described as an "economic blackout calling on students to disrupt business as usual by not attending class or spending on campus."
A Cornell University student sits with a sign during a campus-wide sit-in on Oct. 7.
The sit-in comes two days after thousands of people took part in a campus rally protesting Cornell's handling of Jane Doe's allegations. Demonstrators held signs accusing the school of protecting the alleged rapists and demanding accountability.

Michael Douglas, firmly in his smooth silver-fox era, has opened the door into secret compartments of his life. Douglas, 82, has just published an incredibly dishy, wildly entertaining, at times both hilarious and painful new memoir, One ****** uva Ride. It's a tale that spans generations of Hollywood royalty, from his father Kirk's rise to stardom to his own run of classic films as both producer and actor: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), The China Syndrome (1979), Romancing the Stone (1984), Wall Street (1987), Fatal Attraction (1987), Basic Instinct (1992), and Falling Down (1993), to name some of the biggest. Written with Shane Salerno, the book is one of those rare memoirs that both entertains and sheds light on a lost world of Hollywood of glamour and decadence, with lots of ****** and drugs and even some rock & roll.
To discuss all this, Douglas has invited me into his palatial apartment overlooking New York City's Central Park, one of several homes he owns and enjoys. He's a welcoming and gracious host, no servants or ****** istants bustling about. Just Douglas padding around in his socks, still as slim, handsome, and charming as ever. Douglas makes me a coffee, and we sit down in a living room with a view of his two Oscars, an Emmy, and other awards. Between Douglas and his wife Catherine Zeta-Jones, the trophy case is so large it fills up a corner of the massive living room.

Hayden Panettiere's jewelry has already been **** ed off after her death, according to her former fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko.
Panettiere, known for starring in TV shows Nashville and Heroes, died August 16 of an accidental drug overdose. She was 36.
In a new court filing, Klitschko requested temporary guardianship of the actor's estate on behalf of their 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, and shared his concerns that Panettiere's belongings have been mishandled since she died in August.
Documents filed Monday read that Klitschko "believes that a non-family member previously connected to Hayden sold certain items belonging to Hayden, believed to include jewelry, to a **** shop," according to Entertainment Weekly
Klitschko, 50, said that the **** shop has refused to disclose specific information about the items without police contact — leading to his worries that remaining items could be "sold, transferred or otherwise rendered unrecoverable."

Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly unleashed a tirade at Olivia Rodrigo on Monday (October 5), telling the pop star to "shut up and stick to singing" after she spoke out about the Cornell 7 case.
"Olivia, in sum, you don't know what the f*** you're talking about. Shut up and stick to singing," Kelly said on her SiriusXM show, per Variety. "I liked you better when you were in front of a microphone singing your weird little depressing songs."
On Sunday (October 4), Rodrigo shared a post on her Instagram Story supporting the Jane Doe at the center of the Cornell 7 lawsuit. "Shame on Cornell and on every institution who protects rapists and abusers over women," the "drivers license" singer wrote. "I stand with Jane Doe. Her bravery reverberates across the country and the crimes against her will not go unpunished."
She added, "What she lived through matters, and so does the failure of those who could have intervened but chose not to. She deserves answers, consequences, and lasting change."
Rodrigo was talking about the lawsuit filed against Cornell University by an unnamed student, who accused seven men of raping and drugging her at a frat house party in October 2024. Her lawsuit claims that the university failed to protect her and instead protected the perpetrators.

Barry Keoghan has built a career by choosing characters that are rarely easy to understand. The Irish actor can appear vulnerable in one film and deeply unsettling in the next, often bringing an unpredictable quality to his performances. His journey into acting was equally unconventional, beginning far from the traditional routes into the entertainment industry. A difficult childhood in Dublin shaped his early years, while an unexpected opportunity introduced him to acting. Since then, Keoghan has developed into an internationally recognized performer with roles spanning independent dramas, major blockbusters and psychological thrillers.
Born in Dublin, Keoghan experienced considerable instability while growing up. His mother struggled with drug addiction and died when he was young, and he and his brother spent several years in foster care before being raised largely by their grandmother and aunt. Despite his later success, Keoghan has spoken warmly about returning home and immediately slipping back into ordinary family life, joking that celebrity status does not excuse him from making his bed or cleaning up after himself.
His entrance into acting came almost by chance. As a teenager, Keoghan noticed a casting advertisement in a local shop window for the Irish crime film Between the Canals. He responded despite having little professional experience and eventually secured a role. Television work followed, including the Irish drama Love/Hate, helping him develop his craft and attract greater attention.
His international profile grew dramatically in 2017. Keoghan appeared in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk as George Mills, a young civilian caught up in the evacuation of Allied soldiers from France. That same year, he delivered a very different performance opposite Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman in Yorgos Lanthimos's The Killing of a Sacred Deer. As the mysterious Martin, Keoghan demonstrated the unnerving screen presence that would become one of his greatest strengths.
Rather than remaining within one genre, he continued moving between dramatically different projects. He entered the Marvel universe as Druig in Eternals, appeared in The Green Knight and gained major acclaim for Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin. His performance as Dominic Kearney earned him a BAFTA and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor.

AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:ABBV) was trading at around $263 on October 5, up 14.18% over twelve months. Its payout ratio is 190.40%. The company distributes nearly twice what it reports as profit.
A dividend that large is either about to be cut or is being paid out of something the earnings line does not show.
READ ALSO: Here is Why Tripadvisor (TRIP) is a Bad Investment at Today's Price
AbbVie reported net income of $6.27 billion and generated $16.87 billion of free cash flow. Dividends are paid from the second number, so a ratio measured against the first is describing depressed earnings rather than a company living beyond its means.
The margins show what depresses them. Operating margin is 40.04%. Net margin is 9.80%. Thirty points vanish between those lines, and where they vanish matters. Costs that high sitting below the operating line are not the business failing to earn. They are the amortization of a drug portfolio AbbVie bought rather than discovered, plus interest on the debt that bought it.

Supporters have launched an online campaign in recent weeks aimed at protecting the identity of a woman, identified as "Jane Doe," who alleges in a civil lawsuit that she was drugged and raped by multiple members of a Cornell University fraternity in 2024.
Jane Doe's lawyer says that the ex-Cornell student has received "multiple threats" in recent days aimed at exposing her real identity.
"There are people out there trying to track her down," Thomas Giuffra, who ‌represents Jane Doe, told CNN's State of the Union on Sunday. "They said, 'We're gonna shut you up. You're gonna still get hurt by us. You're gonna pull this lawsuit out or we're gonna do something to hurt you even more.'
"The threats, the abuse to protect what's going on, the status quo — these guys are disgusting," Giuffra added.
Among those trying to identify Jane Doe is political commentator Michael Tracey, who publicly asked anyone with information about her identity to contact him and said he would publish her name and identifying details.

Hayden Panettiere kept the engagement ring Wladimir Klitschko gave her after their relationship ended. Now her loved ones reportedly cannot find it, according to an Oct. 2 report from Us Weekly.
An unnamed source told the publication that friends and family suspect someone who spent time with Panettiere in her final days may have taken the ring while ***** ing her possessions.
The Heroes and Nashville actress died Aug. 16 at 36 in Greenville, South Carolina. The county coroner later ruled her death accidental, caused by the combined toxic effects of several drugs, Fox Carolina reported.
Panettiere and Klitschko's daughter, Kaya, 11, is her mother's sole heir, according to the ***** ociated Press. Her parents never married and ended their relationship in 2018.
Panettiere confirmed the engagement during an Oct. 9, 2013, appearance on Live With Kelly and Michael, after Kelly Ripa asked about the diamond on her hand. She said their schedules had prevented them from setting a wedding date, ABC News reported. Later that month, she told E!

Bruce Willis' beloved blended family is cautiously optimistic that some of the new treatments for dementia may help his situation, a source tells Examiner.
"They're all looking into everything and they are open-minded even about risky drugs and surgeries that are still in the clinical trials phase," reveals the source. "Anything Bruce might be remotely eligible for, they're inquiring about."
Wife Emma Heming Willis has become a fierce advocate for frontotemporal dementia awareness after Bruce, 71, received his devastating diagnosis in 2023, even launching the Emma & Bruce Willis Fund for Dementia Research and Caregiver support in March.
The Die Hard star shares daughters Mabel, 14, and Evelyn, 12, with the former model, 50, and daughters Rumer, 38, Scout, 35, and Tallulah, 32, with ex-wife Demi Moore.
"They're all still Bruce's biggest advocates and cheerleaders," says the source. "And they point to the idea that the Bruce they have always known is still in there somewhere, because they can see it in his eyes."

Rob Reiner's death cast a different light on the friendship he shared with Michael Douglas, but the connection between the two men was forged long before their relationship became part of a tragic story.
Michael has now revealed that some of their most meaningful conversations centered on their sons and the pain of watching them struggle with drug issues.
In his memoir, "One ****** uva Ride," the 82-year-old recalled a friendship where two fathers could speak openly when neither had easy answers.

Michael Douglas has recalled how he once had a "heartbreaking confessional" with Rob Reiner regarding their sons' troubles.
The This Is Spinal Tap director, 78, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were found dead at their Brentwood, Los Angeles home last December.
The couple's son, Nick Reiner, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder over their deaths. He has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial in custody.
On Monday, The Los Angeles Times published an excerpt from Michael's new memoir, One ******* uva Ride, in which the Oscar-winning actor described a conversation he once had with Reiner.
"We both had sons with serious drug issues and we both, at times, had been at the end of our rope," he writes, according to the outlet. "It was a heartbreaking confessional for us, but I know we gave each other some measure of comfort during the hard times."
Previously, Rob had discussed Nick's substance abuse issues and rehab stays. The pair made the 2015 film, Being Charlie, about his experiences.

The 46-year-old Challenge legend sat down with fellow Massachusetts native Andy Bachman on the Creators Inc. Podcast, where the conversation turned to the first money lesson fame taught him. Early on, the advice was to send the checks home and deal in cash, which he now calls "arguably the worst financial advice I ever got."
"It wasn't like I had bad credit. I just didn't have any," Tamburello explained. "And then mom thought I was a drug dealer."

In a new interview with Variety, the 32-year-old actor and comedian jokingly likened himself as a survivor while speaking to journalist Marlow Stern.
"I'm one of the survivors — the few and the proud. We're like the Marines," Davidson said. "Look, man, that's a really tough atmosphere if you're not game. One of the things I love about Kim and that whole family is they're like, 'This is what we do.' I found that very attractive and mature."
He continued, "And I was never subjected to anything I didn't want to be a part of. She was super respectful of all of it, but the craze of that lifestyle — being followed everywhere, having security and looking over your shoulder — for a guy with mental stuff, and at the time drug problems, was a little too much for me. But we're cool, and I have a lot of love for her, and I knew what I was getting into."

The woman who alleges she was drugged and raped by multiple members of a Cornell University fraternity in October 2024 told one of the accused men in a recorded phone call weeks later that she was "10 shots deep" when she arrived at the Chi Phi house and was now struggling to remember what had caused "so much damage on my body and brain."
"The only way for me to heal is to know what happened," the woman, identified as "Jane Doe" in a civil lawsuit, said during a Nov. 7, 2024, call, according to audio obtained by ABC News. "That's why I'm trying to just piece it together, you know, like I'm just like confused."
During the call, the Chi Phi fraternity member told her that she consented to having a threesome with him and another fraternity brother.
He also insisted that Jane Doe had told him she had not been drinking when she showed up.
"You did tell me you were sober, by the way," he said. "You said you hadn't been anywhere."

Megyn Kelly is calling out what she sees as a lack of due process when it comes to Cornell's Chi Phi fraternity brothers amid their Jane Doe gang rape investigation.
On Monday's episode of "The Megyn Kelly Show," the host suggested the public has already made up its mind regarding the seven men named after a former student filed a civil suit claiming she was drugged, ******* aulted and gang-raped by them in 2024.
"These young men have had their names plastered all over every major newscast in America for a week now," Kelly said. "The mob has decided they're guilty and ought to be put to death, which is literally what we are hearing in several circles online without a trial, without a due process chance to defend themselves. Not in a kangaroo court on a college campus, which is a joke, but in an actual court, either civil or now it's looking more and more likely criminal."
She added: "This is deeply immoral. There are two sides to every story. You don't know, and I don't know what happened inside of Cornell that night. We know that there's been a story told by Jane Doe. We know that from her own story, the DA – a Democrat – said there's no case here… And we know it took her two years to file a civil suit… Now her lawyers are all over the television, ripping on the DA."
Kelly is not the only news personality to question the due process of the case. "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin also spoke out wondering if the men's names should not be going up across a number of news networks.

Olivia Rodrigo has called out leaders at Cornell University over their handling of an alleged ****** ual ****** ault case.
Last month, a former student - known only as Jane Doe - filed a civil case in New York in which she claimed she was drugged, ****** aulted, and gang-raped by seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity in 2024.
The fraternity chapter was barred following the allegations but none of the individuals reported to be involved have faced criminal charges.
Taking to Instagram Stories on Sunday, Rodrigo issued a statement in which she expressed her concerns.
"Shame on Cornell and on every institution who protects rapists and abusers over women," she began.
The Drop Dead hitmaker went on to emphasise that she supports the woman who filed the case.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military said it attacked a boat suspected of being used to smuggle drugs in the Caribbean Sea on Sunday, killing four people, as the Trump administration continues its yearlong campaign against alleged traffickers in Latin America.
The latest attack brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to at least 235 in 70 strikes since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls "narcoterrorists" in September 2025. As with most of the military's statements on strikes in the eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, U.S. Southern Command said it targeted the alleged drug traffickers along known smuggling routes.
The military did not provide evidence that the vessel was ferrying drugs. A video posted on X showed what appeared to be an explosion destroying a moving boat, which the military said was a go-fast vessel.
The Trump administration is pursuing deals with allied nations to extend its offensive to land across multiple Latin American countries. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said during a visit to Panama in August that Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras had agreed to allow the U.S. to carry out joint military operations against criminal groups on their soil. Guatemala denied reaching such a deal. Ecuador launched similar missions with the U.S. in March.
President Donald Trump has said the U.S. is in "armed conflict" with cartels in Latin America and has justified the attacks as a necessary escalation to stem the flow of drugs into the United States and fatal overdoses claiming American lives. But his administration has offered little evidence to support its claims of killing smugglers.

Two of the seven men accused of ***** ually ***** aulting a Cornell University student at a fraternity house in 2024 were expelled, while others were ordered to take ***** ual harassment training and write "reflection papers," according to university disciplinary records obtained by the New York Times.
The records offer the most detailed look yet at how Cornell handled the case, which has drawn national outrage and is now under criminal investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
On Friday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said that a woman who alleges she was drugged and raped by multiple members of a Cornell University fraternity in 2024 was "failed" by those obligated to protect her.
Hochul's comments came a day after announcing she had lost faith in the district attorney overseeing the Cornell University rape case and signed an executive order appointing James as a special prosecutor to lead the investigation.
"In what world would the police learn from a victim that she'd been literally gang raped while intoxicated by five men in a fraternity house and not elevate those allegations to the district attorney?" Hochul said at a press conference with James in New York. "In what world does the district attorney not even interview her or anyone else involved or even request the full transcript?

As outrage builds around the case involving a Cornell University student allegedly gang-raped in a fraternity house in October 2024, the university’s president has broken his silence with a statement Saturday.
Jane Doe’s alleged experiences raise “heartbreaking and troubling issues about ******* ual ******* ault, dehumanization, and aspects of party culture, alcohol, and drug use,” Kotlikoff said in his video statement.
The Cornell president added the allegations raise questions around the initial investigation, saying the university does not have “all the answers” but is committed to investigating and finding them. He said next week, Cornell’s board of trustees will announce an independent review into the handling of the 2024 case by an outside law firm.
