As Penn State heads into its first game of the season against the Marshall Thundering Herd, there are still things they may be figuring out on game day. After all, with over 24 transfers to implement and a whole new coaching staff, things could look a little shaky to start the season. Still, Penn State will have a game plan they believe in and new players will be ready to showcase their potential this season.
Here are five keys to the game for the Nittany Lions this weekend.
The new-look running back room for the Nittany Lions is seemingly one of the most intriguing on the entire roster. Carson Hansen, the Iowa State transfer, looks to be slotted in as the RB1, bringing a more physical play style to the backfield. However, keep an eye out for Ohio State transfer James Peoples, who has had a fantastic camp and offers a bit more of a speed element in the backfield. Still, players like Quinton Martin Jr. and Cam Wallace will look to contribute as well. Penn State fans may be missing both Nicholas Singleton and Kaytron Allen this season, but a plethora of options under Campbell will make this room sneaky strong. Don't be surprised if all four players get touches on Saturday.
As it stands, it looks as if freshman five-star Malachi Goodman will be tasked with the most key position on the offensive line: protecting Rocco Becht's blindside. While Marshall's D-line isn't the biggest of tests, this is still a step up in competition for the young O-lineman. That being said, expect Matt Campbell to give him easy reps to start. That could mean a lot of quick game elements, such as early screen passes or even play-action bootlegs so that Goodman is not right in the line of fire. For Campbell, it should be paramount that a player as important as Goodman will be this season doesn't feel overwhelmed in his first collegiate game.
This kind of sounds cliche, but in his first game as a Nittany Lion, Rocco Becht is playing with house money. While some fans will expect the QB from Iowa State who broke almost every single record with that program, we truly don't know what he'll look like come Saturday. Still, if Rocco Becht plays fast and loose, proving unafraid to challenge the Marshall defense through the air, then Penn State fans will start to believe that Becht could be the guy that can turn this team around. From what we've heard from camp, Becht has proven to be a great leader in the locker room and on the field as well. If that shows up on Saturday, the Nittany Lions might have just found a gem of a player.

Andy Cohen has spent years putting reality stars in situations where cameras catch almost everything, but there is one part of his own life he would rather keep away from competition television, his dancing.
The Watch What Happens Live host revealed that Dancing With the Stars approached him "many, many, many years ago," but he turned down the opportunity. "I can't dance on TV. No one wants to see that," Cohen said in an interview with Variety published August 25.
Cohen does dance when he is off the clock, particularly at Grateful Dead and Dead & Company shows. The problem, he explained, is what can happen once someone in the crowd points a phone at him. Cohen said videos of his moves have ended up on TikTok, where people have mocked him.
His preference now is considerably simpler than weeks of rehearsals and a run at the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. "Let me dance in peace," Cohen said. He did not suggest that DWTS has approached him again for its upcoming 35th season.
Cohen was not speaking hypothetically when he complained about having his concert dancing documented.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hunter Goodman homered in his return from a shoulder injury, Mason Adams worked into the fifth inning in his big league debut, and the Colorado Rockies snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night.
Daylen Lile went deep off Adams in the fourth, but that was all the scoring for Washington against six Colorado pitchers. Mark Manfredi (1-0) won in relief for his first career victory, and Jordan Romano worked the ninth for his 13th save in 16 chances.
Andrew Alvarez (2-6) allowed three runs and five hits in 4 2/3 innings with two walks and six strikeouts.
Playing for the first time in nearly two weeks, Goodman opened the scoring with a solo shot in the fourth, his 35th homer of the year. Connor Norby added an RBI double later that inning.
Lile's homer made it 2-1, but the Rockies restored a two-run lead when Jordan Beck scored all the way from second on a wild pitch. Alvarez covered the plate and received a throw from catcher Harry Ford before Beck came sliding in, but umpires ruled third baseman Brady House impeded Beck after he came around third, and the run was awarded.

Michigan basketball will be down two starters for its matchup with Lithuania's B-team on Monday, Aug 24.
Shooting guard Trey McKenney and center Moustapha Thiam were not listed among the starters when the lineup came out shortly before tip off and a person with knowledge told the Free Press both "will sit out with minor injuries."
Quinn Costello and Oscar Goodman will start in their places.
Thiam left U-M's 96-84 loss to Lithuania on Sunday, when Elliot Cadeau went for a loose ball on an attempted offensive rebound and rolled up on Thiam's lower right leg, which appeared to hyperextend. Thiam went down in pain for a few moments before he was helped off the floor by Mike Boynton Jr. and trainer Chris Williams.

While everyone loves a reboot, there's one character John Goodman hopes to never return to.
Ahead of the 2018 premiere of the Roseanne spinoff The Conners, the actor acknowledged that, yes, he had shed half of the weight from his formerly 400-pound frame, but he saw no point in talking it up.
"It was basically just portion control, and 'I don't need it,'" The Righteous Gemstones star explained to AARP The Magazine in 2018 of cutting down on his food consumption. "I was just shoving everything into my mouth. But I don't want to be an example to anybody when the weight comes thundering back on—when I start eating Crisco out of the can with a spoon and a side of confectioner's sugar."
Of course, nearly a decade later, he still remains righteous, most recently showing off his decidedly slimmer frame on social media.

After missing the entire series against the San Francisco Giants and the series opener against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Colorado Rockies officially placed Hunter Goodman on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder strain, retroactive to August 15.
Goodman, 26, played the entire series in Arizona last week, catching the first two games before serving as the designated hitter in the third game. During the series, he went 1-for-9, with the lone hit being a triple. He was initially in the lineup in three of the last four games but was scratched hours before first pitch each time.
The two-time All-Star catcher has had a prolific year at the plate as a key run-producer in the Rockies lineup. Entering play on Monday, Goodman is batting .251/.320/.541 with 34 home runs and 69 RBI. In his absence, the Rockies have utilized Brett Sullivan, who has batted .316 (6-for-19) with three home runs and eight RBIs during the last road trip.
In a corresponding move, the Rockies have recalled Braxton Fulford from Triple-A Albuquerque. Fulford carries a .177/.254/.290 slash with one home run and seven RBI on the season in 40 games with the Rockies. During his time with Albuquerque, Fulford is batting .270/.399/.484 with five home runs and 21 RBI in 35 games. His numbers have been excellent during his time in the Pacific Coast League, but the hit tool and plate discipline haven't quite translated in his limited big league action.

The Flintstones is a culturally beloved series that began in the 1960s. In 1994, the prehistoric family was the center of a live-action film starring actors John Goodman, Elizabeth Perkins, Rick Moranis, and Rosie O'Donnell.
Three decades later, some of the real life grown-up children of the cast are following in their famous parents footsteps. Keep reading to learn more…
Molly is John's only child
John Goodman, who starred as Fred Flintstone in the film, and his wife Anna Beth Hartzog welcomed their daughter Molly Evangeline Goodman in 1990. She went on to follow her dad into Hollywood.
According to IMDB, Molly works as a production ***** istant and designer, working on the sets of shows and films like New Girl, The Last Tycoon, and Aquarius.

PHOENIX (AP) — Kyle Karros hit a two-run homer before leaving the game following a collision with a teammate, Tomoyuki Sugano threw six solid innings and the Colorado Rockies rallied for a 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.
The D-backs fell to 64-57 as they fight for National League playoff position in a tight race. They're currently in a three-way tie with the Philadelphia Phillies and San Diego Padres for the final two wild-card spots.
Karros hit his game-tying shot in the sixth off D-backs lefty Mitch Bratt that made it 2-all. In the bottom of the inning, he had to exit the game after colliding with shortstop Ezequiel Tovar while both players were trying to field a ground ball.
Karros appeared to hit his head and looked dazed while he sat on the ground for a few minutes, but the third baseman was eventually able to walk off the field. The Rockies didn't have an immediate update on the injury.
Colorado's Hunter Goodman led off the seventh with a triple to the right-center gap and Mickey Moniak brought him home on a sacrifice fly for a 3-2 lead.

CeraVe is taking on the rise of tan culture and "tanmaxxing" with a new campaign starring Tyler Cameron, the Bachelorette alum and licensed contractor, and board-certified dermatologist Dr. Chloe Goodman.
In the L'Oréal brand's latest push, the pair pick up their toolbelts to renovate the backyard of the Tri Delta sorority house at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida, turning it into a sun-safe ***** e.
The renovation unfolds across a four-episode documentary-style series, launching on social platforms. In the opening episode, Cameron and Dr. Goodman demolish a tanning bed with sledgehammers.
In later episodes, they add features that promote sun protection: a pergola that converts an underused lawn into shaded social ***** e, landscaping for natural shade, and UV meters that alert students when rays peak and it's time to reapply SPF. CeraVe also installed dispensing stations for its new Invisible Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50, tying the campaign directly to its new product.
According to Jasteena Gill, svp of marketing at CeraVe US, consumer insight drove the concept. The campaign targets Gen Z's embrace of tanning and "tanmaxxing." Google Trends shows "tanning" searches at a five-year high, with "tanning oil" searches up 40%.

The second Matchday of the 2026/27 Scottish Premiership season is in the books, so let's take a look through the results of this weekend.
The weekend got underway at Dens Park, as Dundee picked up their first win of the new season thanks to goals from Joe Westley and Joe Bevan.
Westley gave the hosts an early lead after just nine minutes, when his right-footed strike from close range found the back of the net. Aberdeen came close to an equaliser before the break, but Owen Goodman pulled off a show-stopping save to deny Daniel Happe's header.
Dundee doubled their lead early in the second half, when Bevan fired into the top corner from a tight angle, continuing his strong start to the season so far, having now reached six goal involvements in as many games across the Premier Sports Cup and the league.
Having eased past Falkirk in their opening game, St. Mirren's perfect start continued on Saturday afternoon when they ran out 1-0 winners at home to newly promoted St. Johnstone.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jake McCarthy homered twice in a four-hit night, Cole Carrigg and TJ Rumfield each had two hits and the Colorado Rockies beat the St. Louis Cardinals 8-6 on Saturday night.
McCarthy gave Colorado the lead on the first pitch of the game with his 420-foot drive to right-center field off Matthew Liberatore (5-9), and the Rockies went on to snap a four-game skid.
McCarthy hit his second of the game and 13th of the season in the sixth. He is hitting .305 and has seven hits in his last two games.
Liberatore went five innings and struck out three while giving up five runs on nine hits.
José Fermín had a two-run double to put the Cardinals ahead, but Carrigg hit a two-run double of his own in the third that gave the Rockies the lead for good. Hunter Goodman drove in one more before the end of the inning.

#hits #louis #liberatore

Matthew Liberatore's start went south from the very first pitch, but he avoided a meltdown as the St. Louis Cardinals were playing catchup from the beginning of the game. The question would end up being whether their less than spectacular offense lately would muster enough runs to overcome the Rockies fast start. Short answer? No.
Pitch one of inning one to the Colorado Rockies was a 95 mph four-seam fastball from Matthew Liberatore to Jake McCarthy and it traveled 420 feet into the right field stands of Busch Stadium for an immediate 1-0 Rockies lead. It could have been worse as Matthew then walked Karros and many of us in Cardinals fandom started fearing a 1st inning meltdown like we've seen from Liberatore a few times this season. Fortunately, one run is all the Rockies would get after a bonehead baserunning error as Karros was doubled off of second on a ball caught by Winn.
The St. Louis Cardinals would seize back the lead in the bottom of the 1st inning when Iván Herrera ripped a two-out double to left. Alec Burleson would strike out, but reach first on a passed ball charged to Goodman. That would bring up José Fermín who would provide a true big league 8-pitch at-bat eventually pulling an 82 mph knuckle-curve into the left field corner scoring both Herrera and Burleson giving the Cardinals a temporary 2-1 lead.
Liberatore would run into trouble in the top of the 3rd inning, too. With one out, McCarthy would reach first on an infield single. Matthew then hit Karros with a pitch giving Colorado runners on first and second. Both those runners would steal off of of Herrera before Carrigg would double to center scoring both runners and giving the Rockies a 3-2 lead. They would add more more when Goodman singled to right making it 4-2 Colorado.
The Cardinals would miss a great chance to either tie or take the lead in the bottom of the 4th inning when they would load the bases on a Fermín walk, a Blaze Jordan single and a hit-by-pitch from newcomer Everson Pereira. With two outs, JJ Wetherholt would hit a laser shot with the bases loaded that unfortunately was directed right at Rockies centerfielder Cole Carrigg to end the threat.

John Goodman's years-long health transformation is attracting fresh attention after actor David DeLuise shared an unexpected photograph from a grocery store encounter.
The casual selfie, posted August 6th, shows the 74-year-old Roseanne star smiling beside DeLuise in a supermarket aisle. Some commenters said they initially struggled to recognize Goodman, while others focused on seeing two familiar television actors together.
The photograph captures a much slimmer Goodman, but the change is far from new. He has spoken publicly for years about losing approximately 200 pounds after once approaching 400, describing the transformation as a gradual effort built around sobriety, portion control, changes to his diet and regular exercise.
Goodman has also resisted treating the weight loss as a finished project. He has described maintaining his health as an ongoing process, including periods when his exercise routine slipped and he had to recommit.
DeLuise shared the photograph after unexpectedly running into Goodman while shopping. The Wizards of Waverly Place actor called Goodman a "legend," while his post quickly filled with reactions to both the encounter and Goodman's appearance.

It was an impressive showing for the Rays offense last night, as Junior Caminero's two homers and Jonathan Aranda's four hits led the way to a 13-9 victory.
But tonight it was all about the brand new battery, as trade deadline acquisitions Freddy Peralta and and Liam Hicks both made their Rays debuts at pitcher and catcher, respectively. On the other side it was Gabriel Hughes, with just four major league starts under his belt coming into tonight.
Peralta got into some trouble immediately, giving up two hits out of the gate in the bottom of the first, but a double play and a strikeout on an elevated heater to catcher Hunter Goodman limited the damage to just one run. Whether is was just nerves or not to start the game, he recovered nicely to pitch a clean second.
Things were quiet until the top of the third when Cedric Mullins opened the Rays offense with the team's first hit of the night. After a Richie Palacios walk and a Taylor Walls bunt single, the bases were loaded with no outs. Hughes promptly struck out Yandy Diaz, but Aranda followed up with a game tying walk. Caminero gifted Hughes another strikeout, and it looked like Hughes was going to get out of it.
Until newcomer Hicks delivered the big blow:

There's nothing like waiting until the last minute, and that's exactly what happened on an action-packed day across the MLB as the trade deadline came and went at 4 p.m. MDT on Monday.
The Rockies waded into the chaos, making three of their four trades in the final hours on Monday, but didn't end up dealing Hunter Goodman, who weighed heavily in the trade rumor mill. Colorado started the day by dealing center fielder Brenton Doyle to the Chicago White Sox, then sent former starter and current RHP reliever Antonio Senzatela to the Milwaukee Brewers and finished off by shipping right-handed reliever Victor Vodnik to the Miami Marlins. Earlier in July, the Rockies traded RHP reliever Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Now, it's time to get back to baseball. That is, if the weather will allow it.
After notching triple digits again on Monday, a storm appears to be rolling in.

Winning won't be the only gauge of improvement for Missouri tennis this season.
For a program undergoing one of the biggest transitions in recent memory, success may be better measured by growth than by the amount of sets won.
Missouri enters the 2026-27 season with a new coaching staff led by Robin Goodman, an entirely rebuilt roster and only one player who has experience wearing Tigers across her chest. That's enough change to reset expectations, even in the ultra-competitive SEC.
The Tigers aren't trying to replace one or two starters. They're building an entire program from the ground up.
That reality makes patience essential.

DENVER (AP) — Hunter Goodman homered twice, had two singles and drove in five runs in the Colorado Rockies' 12-6 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Saturday night.
The victory was Colorado's 44th of the season, eclipsing last year's total with 51 games remaining.
Goodman broke his single-season franchise record for home runs by a catcher with a three-run shot in Colorado's six-run third, and hit his 33rd homer in the seventh inning for his sixth multi-homer game this season.
Goodman, a possible trade target ahead of Monday night's deadline, leads the Rockies with 65 RBIs.
Kansas City outfielder Lane Thomas was pulled from the game in the middle of the fourth inning, and was later traded to the Atlanta Braves.

Red Sox could make blockbuster move for Orioles All-Star Adley Rutschman before trade deadline originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The trade deadline is almost here, and the Boston Red Sox need to make some moves if they want to be real contenders come October.
While shortstop seems to be their main concern, getting a better catcher should be their top priority, as their current platoon is one of the worst in the MLB. While a guy like Hunter Goodman may be a bit too pricey, Boston might be able to make a deal with a division rival who's also in the hunt.

According to NY Post's Joel Sherman, the Baltimore Orioles want to deal and are listening to offers on their three-time All-Star catcher, Adley Rustchman. They also aren't against trading in the division either, so Boston has a chance.

Is Michigan State basketball a legit national championship contender? One popular podcast recently discussed the likelihood of this happening and how the Spartans can end up cutting down the nets in Detroit next April.
The Field of 68, one of the most prominent national college basketball podcasts, recently discussed whether or not Michigan State is a true national championship contender this upcoming season. That question was met with plenty of reasons from the panel for why it's possible and why Spartans fans should be excited this season.
Jeff Goodman stated during the roughly six-minute video that Spartans head coach Tom Izzo loves the team he has built and is excited about the group he's carrying into the season. The panel also discussed how the return of All-American Jeremy Fears Jr. gives Michigan State the best point guard in the game, which keeps them relevant at the top of the country.
Ultimately, the panel agreed Michigan State is going to need some of their lesser known players to step up to help carry the weight from Fears and Coen Carr. But overall, it's clear the Field of 68 crew is confident in what Michigan State has **** embled heading into the season.

SAN DIEGO – After spending the later innings feeling like they were pushing a rock up a hill, the San Diego Padres finally got over the top on a game-winning sacrifice fly by Xander Bogaerts in a wild 8-7 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night at Petco Park.
Fernando Tatis Jr. set a new career high with five hits while driving in a pair of RBI, as the Padres (54-53) cracked a home-season-best 16 hits to extend their win streak to four games. Encinitas-born Mickey Moniak hit a two-run home run, the eighth of his career against San Diego, part of his three-RBI night for the Rockies (42-56), who saw four costly errors all come back to hurt.
Jackson Merrill led off the ninth with a single, his third of the game, then stole second and advanced to third when Hunter Goodman's throw went into center field. Back-to-back walks to Luis Rengifo and pinch-hitter Sung-Mun Song cued up Bogaerts' decisive RBI, which made for the seventh walk-off win of the season by San Diego and their third time against Colorado.
The Padres rallied to tie in three consecutive innings, with Manny Machado lacing a single to the right-center alley that Hunter McCarthy bobbled and allowed Jake Cronenworth to score in the eighth. Mason Miller then came on to set the Rockies down in order, whiffing all three he faced to set the stage and ultimately earn his third win.
Reliever Adrian Morejon was able to limit the damage in the top, as after a Bogaerts error loaded the bases and a walk to Ezequiel Tovar pushed across a run, the lefty got a ground out to end the inning.

Sure, there have been a lot of stories in the MLB media about Colorado Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman. Some of those stories have indicated that Goodman might be solid trade bait as the MLB Trade Deadline draws closer on Aug. 3.
But one media outlet is making a prediction. What is it? The Rockies will extend Goodman on his contract.
This season, Goodman has been the power hitter in the middle of the Rockies' lineup. He has 30-plus home runs already and reaching the 40-home run level is not out of the realm of possibilities.
Keeping Goodman is a wise choice for Colorado, should they not trade him at all. A couple of other stories have come out in the past couple of days indicating that the asks that the Rockies are making for any deal is too steep.
Another factor involved not only for the Rockies, but for all of the MLB world, is that some executives believe there will be a play stoppage in the 2027 MLB season. There are those even wondering how many games will happen, too.

MLB Trade Rumors | Charlie Wright: The Yankees rearranged their planned starters for this weekend's series in Philadelphia. Cam Schlittler was **** ped up to start Friday on normal rest, with Will Warren pushed back to Sunday. Warren appeared in relief Wednesday to help provide some coverage during a doubleheader. With Max Fried back in the rotation and Carlos Rodón on the comeback trail, Warren's recent usage suggests his spot in the rotation could be in jeopardy.
MLB.com | Thomas Harrigan: The Yankees have gotten virtually no offensive production from the catcher position this season. With the trade deadline looming, expect them to pursue an upgrade. The most likely candidate is Minnesota's Ryan Jeffers, a righty bat who's a free agent after the season. The Athletics' Shea Langeliers and Colorado's Hunter Goodman are higher-upside plays with more years of club control, but there's no guarantee either will be moved. The Mets' Francisco Alvarez and Baltimore's Adley Rutschman loom as longshots, with Cincinnati's Tyler Stephenson and Minnesota's Victor Caratini less exciting backup plans should the rest fall through.
NJ.com | James Mertz: Paul Blackburn has broken out with the Yankees this year after moving to the bullpen full-time, posting a 2.00 ERA in 35 outings. He attributes the career renaissance in part with the consistency the Yankees have provided. The veteran contrasts that with his tenure with the Mets, who constantly shuttled him between the rotation and the bullpen. "I felt like we were just playing a video game," he said of his time across town, during which he posted a 6.00 ERA in 12 games.
CBS Sports | Rotowire Staff: Luis Gil faced live batters on Friday for the first time since early May, throwing BP. He's been on the minor-league IL, working back from right shoulder inflammation. The former Rookie of the Year was disastrous in four starts early this year and has no guaranteed role upon his return.

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Dodgers fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Even great teams have room for improvement, and for the Dodgers in 2026, one of those paths is in the acquisition of a catcher. Will Smith has been out since early June with neck inflammation, and updates on his condition have put into question if and when the veteran might be back. We asked the fans if the Dodgers should proceed with the current depth chart believing in Smith's return or plan for the worst while they still can.
All in all, with the resources that this team possesses and the lack of holes to fill, to look for a catching addition feels like a given. Perhaps more than what we may see with the bat, the Dodgers ought to look at adding a steady presence, a catcher who can be relied on to not only do his job but also excel behind the plate defensively.
What adds layers to this debate is that for a team on the market for a catcher, there are legit game-changing options to at least call about. Although none of them are explicitly on the block, controllable beyond just this current campaign, Hunter Goodman, Shea Langeliers, and Adley Rutschman each could be seen within reason as trade candidates. Acquiring any of them, though, would inevitably back the Dodgers into a corner down the line since Smith is going nowhere long-term.
Perhaps in Minnesota, the Dodgers might find targets that are more their speed in Ryan Jeffers or Victor Caratini. Quietly, one of the better-hitting catchers in the AL over the last four seasons, Jeffers has been phenomenal with a .933 OPS in a short sample (44 games) due to missed time this year. With Caratini, who is under contract through next season at a reasonable rate, the Dodgers would be getting stability above all else, adding a player perfectly willing to fade into a backup role down the line. Caratini might even provide Rushing insurance if the youngster hits his way into staying on as a starter in the playoffs.

With the 2026 MLB trade deadline fast approaching, rumors are beginning to circulate wildly.
Earlier this week, the Colorado Rockies traded RHP Seth Halvorsen to the Los Angeles Dodgers for right-handed pitcher Nick Frasso and outfielder Landyn Vidourek.
I don’t think anyone expected the Rockies to move Halvorsen, but it’s another reminder that the Rockies have a new front office, and they are open for business. As general manager Josh Byrnes told media earlier this week, “We’ve got to do business with 29 teams.”
And in case you missed it, in his newsletter this morning, MLB.com’s Thomas Harding spelled out what the Rockies would be looking for in return for Hunter Goodman. (Spoiler: It’s a lot.)
So given what we know now about teams contending for the postseason and those marked as sellers, including the Rockies, which players do you think the Rockies will be moving prior to the deadline? And feel free to speculate on where you think those players might go.

Red Sox could target one of these three All-Star catchers if they buy at the MLB trade deadline originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Tonight, the Boston Red Sox have a chance to make franchise history, as they look to win their 16th game in a row, breaking the previous record from 1946. Win or lose, Boston has shown that they are real contenders, and probably will be buyers at the trade deadline.
MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand believes so as well, as well as the New York Post’s Jon Heyman. With that in mind, here are three big name catchers Boston could target if they really want to get a star.

Goodman would be the top of Boston’s list, but he does seem to come with a hefty asking price. This season, he’s slashing .257/.326/.565/.891 with 16 doubles, 31 home runs, and 57 RBI in 94 games.

The MLB trade deadline is now under two weeks away. While everybody is focused on the big names who could be moved, like Tarik Skubal or Mason Miller, it can often be most beneficial to think about the players who remain and still wind up benefiting from the trade. In this article, I'm going to look at players who could see their fantasy value improve actionably at the deadline, whether they are the ones traded away or the ones who find themselves filling a vacated role.
For this article, I'm only going to focus on trades that seem likely. So I know that Shea Langeliers and Hunter Goodman are being floated in trade rumors, but I don't think either one of them is going to be moved, so we're not going to discuss which catchers could step into starting roles in two offensive-friendly environments. I will admit that left us with a list that doesn't include a lot of "league winners," but that's also the nature of the expanded playoff format. There are a lot of teams that still find themselves in contention, so we may not see as many impact hitters be traded away, which means there might be fewer openings in lineups.
With that preamble out of the way, let's get to the names.
Cole Carrigg - OF, Rockies: Carrigg has hit well in his rookie season, slashing .287/.367/.519 in 34 games with four home runs, 27 runs scored, and 23 RBI. He has slightly below-average barrel rates and hard-hit rates, so he's not tearing the cover off of the ball, but he has good bat speed and is making better-than-league-average zone contact, which is a nice profile in Coors Field. Yet, despite being a switch hitter, Carrigg seems to be splitting playing time with Tyler Freeman. A trade of one or both of Jake McCarthy and Mickey Moniak would open up an everyday role for Carrigg, who wouldn't be a MUST ADD, but would be a nice depth outfield piece in a great home park.
Victor Bericoto - OF, Giants: Bericoto is currently on the injured list with a strained oblique, but by the time the trade deadline rolls around, he will have already missed a month, which means he could be returning shortly thereafter. The rookie has slashed .293/.305/.552 in 59 plate appearances with four home runs, nine RBI, and one steal. He has a 46.5% hard-hit rate and also posted a 50.4% hard-hit rate in Triple-A while posting elite bat speed numbers, so the power production could be very real. He does have some swing and miss in his game because he is an aggressive hitter, but he also has league-average zone contact rates in the minors and a 91.5% rate in his limited MLB sample, so he might make enough contact to make the power work. The Giants are currently shopping Jung Hoo Lee, which could open up a regular outfield spot for Bericoto when he's back from injury.
