Bond traders are pricing in a Federal Reserve interest-rate hike Wednesday with a level of conviction that has proven right for decades. Interest-rate swaps tied to Fed meeting dates show traders see more than a 90% chance that Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh and his colleagues will lift the benchmark policy rate by a quarter point from the current 3.5%-3.75% range. That equates to roughly 23 basis points of tightening priced in. Kitty Richards Senior Fellow at the Groundwork Collaborative joined Balance of Power saying it will be difficult for the Fed to not raise rates.

Mets news: Ex-GM drops 'disappointed' admission on NY not re-signing Pete Alonso appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The New York Mets have the difficult task of facing the man who set their all-time home run record a little more than a year ago. He also happens to be responsible for one of the most famous dingers in recent playoff history. That is not the type of player fans want to see in a different uniform. Beloved first baseman Pete Alonso will return to Citi Field for the first time since inking a five-year, $155 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles last December, and with that big reunion comes endless evaluation and nitpicking.
Former Mets executive Sandy Alderson was running the front office when the organization selected the Polar Bear in the 2016 MLB Draft, so it is no surprise to hear how he feels about New York failing to re-sign Alonso.
"I was disappointed," Alderson told Brian Kenny on MLB Now, one day after being inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame. "Pete Alonso was drafted by Tommy Tanous, the scouting director at that time, in the second round. Basically a home-run hitter who got on base. And that's what he's been since he came to the big leagues. Let's say his defense is not…. superb. Poor defense doesn't outweigh the kind of homegrown, home-run, impact talent that Pete Alonso can provide.

Another round of layoffs has brought dramatic cuts to a city's local newspaper.
On Monday, Hornets beat reporter Rod Boone of the Charlotte Observer shared on social media that the paper eliminated his position, along with seven colleagues, in the latest round of McClatchy cuts.
Boone said that the news came "less than 48 hours after being told corporate had given the green light to bring back my podcast they whacked two years earlier." He also noted that the cuts meant that the paper will no longer have a writer dedicated to covering the Hornets, a first since the team's inception in 1987.
The cuts are just the latest in a series of layoffs made at papers controlled by McClatchy. The Miami Herald also laid off staffers this week, including sportswriter Greg Cote, who went back five decades with the paper. The Sacramento Bee was also caught in the wreckage, losing its sports department entirely.
Media layoffs have only become more common in recent years, and local newspapers are especially suffering. They have also often come with a shocking lack of respect from those in charge of deciding who stays and who goes. As Boone says, he got the news of his release just days before his fifth anniversary at the paper, and just days after he was ****** ured that he was clear to bring his podcast back on the air. Similarly, Cote's dismissal from the Herald came after 54 years of service, and he got the news on his birthday.

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) is expected to participate in practice Monday, Sept. 14, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
SOURCE: NFL.com
Why It Matters: Henderson was not available to play in Week 1 because of the injury but is off to a good start this week. Fantasy players should monitor his progress this week to see if he will be cleared to play. He will share playing time with Rhamondre Stevenson if active and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in leagues.

This was the 23rd week of full minor league play (stats are entering play on Monday, September 14th).
According to FanGraphs (which factors in age and proximity to the big leagues), prospect Theo Gillen tops the system and might just find himself in the running for Minor League Player of the Year. Gillen ranks 4th among all minor leaguers while Caden Bodine ranks 11th.
Meanwhile, Aidan Cremarosa is the top hurler in the system. Over his first professional season, Cremarosa has a 2.82 ERA | 3.02 FIP with a 29.8 K% & 6.0 BB% over 76.2 IP in Single-A. FanGraphs slotted the 22-year old as the 30th top prospect in the Rays system during their midseason rankings.

While the transfer window may be shut, Ajax are not quite done yet in reinforcing the squad. According to De Telegraaf, Ajax are just one of a number of sides keen on signing now former Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma. The 30-year-old is a free agent, having left Tottenham this summer. Other sides from top five leagues are interested in the former Tottenham man, so it is by no means guaranteed that Ajax will land the Malian international.
Yet Ajax have shown an ability to pull in some big named players this summer. Julian Brandt left Borussia Dortmund for Ajax during the recent transfer window and is already proving to be a good signing for the Dutch side.
Bissouma, when fit, would certainly add some quality to the Ajax midfield. Last year the Malian only managed 11 games for Tottenham. Overall, he played 111 games for Tottenham, scoring twice. Prior to that he excelled with Brighton after coming through the Lille system, having moved to France from Real Bamako as a teenager.

Minnesota Vikings QB Carson Wentz went 12-for-19 for 133 yards, three touchdowns and no INTs in relief of QB Kyler Murray (concussion) during the Vikings' 39-22 comeback win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, according to ESPN.com.
Why it Matters: Murray left in the first quarter with a concussion and may not make it back in time to face the Chicago Bears Sunday. Wentz took a beating, and he was helped out by several terrible penalties on Green Bay's defense. He still put the ball in the end zone, but it doesn't look sustainable. He's only a QB2 in superflex and two-QB leagues.

Red Sox's $60M Prospect Not Expected to Come Up Due to Tough Injury originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
As the Boston Red Sox deal with multiple injuries on both sides of the baseball at the moment, there is certainly a path for some players to return to the big-league roster. One of those guys was Kristian Campbell, the former star prospect whom the Red Sox paid very early, a decision that hasn't exactly worked out to the fullest just yet.
However, it's also important to recognize that Campbell is very young, and with a ton of upside and what he's shown throughout the minor leagues this season, especially recently, there's a lot of hope that he can eventually be that guy.
While there seems to have been a possibility that he could have been called up over the past few days because of some of the injuries the Red Sox have dealt with, it's now being reported that because of his injury, it doesn't seem likely that he's going to get the call.
This is an unfortunate situation in what's been a tough past year or so for Campbell, but it's the harsh reality of Major League Baseball.

More than 30 years ago, all over the walls of a high school about an hour west of downtown San Antonio, the signs started appearing.
In breezeways, next to lockers, and around the cafeteria, the motivational slogans kept popping up, some scrawled in magic marker on poster board, and others printed out on long sheets of dot-matrix paper. They were hung by a D'Hanis baseball coach who wanted to remind students that they could win anything with the "RIGHT MENTAL ATTITUDE," and that "PRESSURE MAKES DIAMONDS," and that "WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GET GOING."
A bunch of clichés, maybe, but harmless ones. The coach meant well, and his team wound up winning state.
One of his colleagues, though, was a world-class wiseacre, and couldn't resist the opportunity to poke fun. Bill Lovett coached boys basketball and taught history. And above the chalkboard in his classroom one day, there was a long dot-matrix printout bearing a slogan of his own creation.
"AN ELEPHANT IN DISGUISE IS STILL BIG," it read.

Las Vegas Raiders TE Michael Mayer signed a three-year contract extension with the Raiders Saturday, Sept. 12, worth $45 million. The extension includes $30 million in guaranteed money.
SOURCE: Ian Rapoport – NFL Network
Why It Matters: Mayer will be joining the starting lineup while Brock Bowers is sidelined, so he will have fantasy value over the next few weeks. He should see a decent amount of targets in Week 1 and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues.

Tigers news: AJ Hinch can't imagine a rookie as good as Kevin McGonigle appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
With only 15 games left for the Detroit Tigers in the 2026 MLB regular season, it's only a matter of time before they get mathematically eliminated from the postseason hunt. With a record of 68-79 even after taking a 6-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies on the road on Friday, they are 6.5 games back of the third and final Wild Card spot with six teams ahead of them in the standings.
Nonetheless, even with the Tigers poised to miss the postseason, it's difficult not to feel excited over their prospects of being a contending team in the near future. After all, they have quite the impressive position player core — with rookie Kevin McGonigle turning plenty of heads already despite being in just his first season in the big leagues.
McGonigle did go 0-4 on the night in the Tigers' win over the Rockies. But as a whole, he has been brilliant this season for the Tigers. He ended the night with an OPS of .788 to go along with 16 home runs and 62 runs batted in — being a consistent table-setter for Detroit. And manager AJ Hinch believes that he should be the runaway favorite to win the Rookie of the Year award.

Rudy Martin Jr. spent 12 seasons in the minor leagues without reaching the majors. At 30 years old, he came closer than ever to walking away from baseball.

Martin's promotion comes after a difficult month. The Blue Jays designated him for ****** ignment twice, but he continued to wait for another opportunity.

It's Week 1 of the fantasy football season, and while we're not dealing with any bye weeks yet, we're always dealing with injuries. Players you drafted a few weeks ago could be a bit banged up by this point. This will be a weekly piece where I look at readily available players to grab and drop into your lineups.
*Streamers are players who are rostered in 50% or fewer of Yahoo! leagues.
Shough and the Saints visit the Detroit Lions, where we see a big 49.5 over/under. Shough posted 18 fantasy points or more in each of his final six games last season, pretty darn good for a player rostered in only 40% of leagues this season. The Lions allowed the 9th most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks last season (18.2) and have a bad secondary, putting Shough in a good spot.
With Tua Tagovailoa potentially out for Week 1, the Falcons might get back to basics and aim for a run-heavy game. Of course, Bijan Robinson leads the way, but there's no reason for the Falcons to run him into the ground in Week 1.
It's a lower total vs. the Steelers, but a few carries and a vulture at the goal line is a path to production for Brian Robinson.

Over the last couple of years, we've seen the same players who helped make Juventus Women what they have become over their first decade of existence head out on new adventures one by one. For much of that Italian core, it has involved a move to the United States and the NWSL. First there was Sofia Cantore and Lisa Boattin, then Cristiana Girelli head to the West Coast and the sunny weather of California.
Now, we have the latest pillar of the Bianconere's past heading across the Atlantic to play outside of Italy for the first time in her very accomplished career.
The club announced on Friday that Italian winger Barbara Bonansea — one of the final pieces of the original Juventus Women roster to still be playing in Turin — is heading to the United States and joining the San Diego Wave on loan. As part of the move, the 35-year-old Bonansea extended her contract with Juve until 2028. But she is now very much an NWSL player, and much like when Girelli joined Bay FC, it will be one that sees her join one of the best leagues in the world for more than just the current campaign.
The loan move, as of now, will run through June 2027, according to the Wave's press release announcing the signing.
With BB heading to San Diego and the sunny beaches that come with it, that now leaves just two original pieces of the Bianconere's ******* le-winning debut side still on the roster: Martina Rosucci and Cecilia Salvai.

Dallas Cowboys RB Malik Davis (hip) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 11, and has been ruled out for Week 1.

Why It Matters: Davis suffered the injury during practice, so fantasy players can keep an eye out to see how long he may be sidelined. Javonte Williams will see most of the work at running back in Week 1 and can be at least a No. 2 back in fantasy leagues.

New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) practiced fully on Friday, Sept. 11, and is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the Detroit Lions.
SOURCE: NewOrleansSaints.com
Why It Matters: With Kamara listed as questionable and practicing fully, he could factor into the backfield. He could be used as a flex play in leagues or an RB2 or RB3 in deeper ones. He will be a volatile play, though, with the team signing Travis Etienne Jr. this offseason, it leaves a lot up in the air with their backfield.

When the Los Angeles Dodgers started the 2026 campaign, their hopes of becoming the first MLB team to three-peat since the '90s New York Yankees dynasty seemed pretty good. While their team features All-Stars scattered throughout their roster, a lot of their strength revolved around their two-way superstar, Shohei Ohtani. Now, just weeks away from the postseason, he finds himself on the injured list.
On this episode of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss if the back-to-back defending champions fumbled the injury situation with the four-time MVP winner and if Ohtani will be ready for the NLDS. They then get into Los Angeles calling up top prospect Josue De Paula and if his impressive showing in the minors will be able to translate this early in his career to the big leagues.
Later in the show, Jake and Jordan revisit their bold predictions for the 2026 season from March and see how many they've gotten right, which ones are still in play, and which have hopelessly fallen by the wayside. The guys then make their selections for this week's edition of The Good, The Bad and the Uggla before highlighting the importance of baseball on the 25th anniversary of 9/11.

I figured I wasn't going to post anything more until the Game Thread, but everyone is reporting that the Jays are calling up 30-year-old outfielder Rudy Martin. They picked up Martin off waivers from the Royals, back in July.
He was drafted by the Royals in the 25th round of the 2014 draft and he's played basically everywhere since, except for the major leagues, but that ends now (hopefully, I hope he gets into some games). I admire guys who keep playing, keep the dream alive.
This year, playing for three different minor league teams, he's hit .274/.394/421 with 11 home runs, 55 walks, 83 strikeouts and 45 steals in 369 at bats. He's played all three outfield spots in his career.
He's a left-handed batter.
And he's not on the 40-man roster, so there are a couple of moves that will have to be made.

With 2.5 weeks remaining in the regular season, those in the fantasy baseball playoffs should be focused on adding players with favorable schedules in the coming days. The list this week includes hitters to stream this weekend (Henry Bolte, Jeff McNeil, Colt Keith) as well as those who should be added by Monday (Ty France, Mickey Moniak, Cole Carrigg).
The same can be said on the pitching side, as those who need a weekend streamer can skip to the bottom of this article.
Ty France, 1B, Padres, 31%: France has been one of baseball's best hitters in the second half, batting .324 with a .937 OPS. Unfortunately, he remains on waivers in many leagues, as managers opt to chase an influx of exciting rookies rather than adding a boring veteran. But that should change over the weekend, as France and his teammates will open next week with four games at Coors Field against a Rockies pitching staff that ranks last in baseball with a 5.50 ERA. Managers in deeper formats could also consider Jake Cronenworth (6%), who has hit second in the lineup of late, or catcher Luis Campusano (1%), who is working as a DH often enough to keep him in the regular lineup.
Mickey Moniak, OF, Rockies, 26%: Moniak has some similarities to France, as a boring veteran who is having his productive season overshadowed by a constant stream of youngsters on the waiver wire. The 28-year-old has been terrific at home (.957 OPS) and against right-handers (.835 OPS) this season, which makes him a potential league-winner next week when the Rockies play seven games at their hitter-friendly home park, including five versus right-handed starters. Those who cannot add Moniak can consider his teammate, Cole Carrigg (15%).
Henry Bolte, OF, Athletics, 30%: Bolte is the fastest runner in baseball and has a bit of pop, which has made him the Athletics regular leadoff hitter and one of baseball's most explosive players. He is batting .320 since the beginning of August, and during September he has already accumulated four homers and five steals. Like many Athletics hitters, Bolte has fared best at his offense-inducing home park, which is where he will play this weekend. It helps that the series will come against the Mariners, who surprising rank 28th in baseball with a 5.39 ERA since the All-Star break.

Today is the day of the first on-ice activity for the Colorado Avalanche in the 2026-27 season. A group of 25 rookies are gathering at Family Sports Center at 9:00 a.m. for a one-day practice before they head off to San Jose, Calif. for the annual rookie tournament.
Late last week the roster was announced which features almost as many defensemen (8) as forwards (13). The only two players with NHL experience expected to attend are forwards Nikita Prishchepov and Taylor Makar, though several others on this list could see their NHL debut soon. All eyes will be on goaltender Ilya Nabokov and forward TJ Hughes who might even make an impact on the Avalanche this year.
It's nice to see five of the nine members of the 2026 Avalanche draft class in attendance including including forwards Beckett Hamilton and Shawn Carrier, defenseman Ondrej Ruml and goaltenders Alexandre Raymond and Tobias Tvrznik,
Those prospects playing in the NCAA or Europe this season are not listed and were not expected to attend rookie camp or Avalanche training camp. However, it is curious the class headliner, 43rd overall Egor Shilov is missing especially since he has chosen to spend one more year in the QMJHL with Victoriaville. But, there is a clue from those who cover the Canadian junior leagues that ongoing visa issues are to blame.
Translated from Quebec journalist Matthew Vachon this reads:

Sen. John Fetterman has faced a tide of public criticism from fellow Democrats as he stakes out lonely ground as a critic of the far-left wing of his party — and another wave rolled in Wednesday after he made a surprise video appearance at the Republican midterm convention.
So far, however, his Senate colleagues haven't joined the pile-on.
Democratic senators are staying above the fray as they work to flip the majority in November amid constant speculation that the 57-year-old Pennsylvanian could trigger a nightmare scenario by leaving the party and caucusing with the GOP.
Some have worked to publicly bat down suggestions that Fetterman could abandon Democrats for the final two years of his term — something he has denied considering, even as he continues to raise eyebrows with his outspoken support of Israel, bashing of democratic socialists and close relationships with Senate Republicans.
"John Fetterman is a friend and an important member of our caucus. It's a waste of energy to get spun up about his voting record or place in our party — he votes with us 90 percent of the time," Democratic Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont, who is close with Fetterman, said in a statement to POLITICO before the convention appearance. "We need a big tent if we're going to win in November."

Yankees news: Anthony Volpe gets brutally honest on 'whirlwind' of getting back to majors appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Anthony Volpe did not have a quiet return to the big leagues. He made it as loud as he could, and he did it with his bat during Thursday's series finale against the Colorado Rockies at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
In his first game back to the majors, Volpe went 3-for-5 with five RBIs. His grand slam in the seventh inning further buried the Rockies, as it stretched New York's lead to eight runs, 10-2. The Yankees ultimately won the game to the tune of a 10-3 score.
"Unexpected whirlwind," the 25-year-old Volpe said following the game, describing what the past 24 hours had been for him (h/t Gary Phillips of NY Daily News Sports).

As Justin Steele and the Chicago Cubs looked at how much time was left in the season and how much further the lefty had to go in his rehab, they came to the realization that starting was no longer an option for this season. If Steele was going to help the Cubs in the big leagues this season, it was going to have to come out of the bullpen.
"We just didn't have enough time to get built up to start," Steele said in an interview with the Des Moines Register on Sept. 10.
The Chicago Cubs ace allowed two runs on four hits with three strikeouts in two innings out of the bullpen against Toledo in a rehabilitation ****** ignment outing with the Triple-A Iowa Cubs at Principal Park on Sept. 10.
"I feel good," Steele said afterward. "Not giving up too hard of contact. I'd like my velo to be a little bit better but it's part of the process."
The process has been a long one for Steele, an All-Star for the Cubs in 2023. The southpaw, who hasn't pitched in the big leagues since 2025, underwent Tommy John surgery and was originally slated to return to the mound sometime at the midway point of 2026.

The NBA brought the hammer down on the LA Clippers and owner Steve Ballmer for circumventing the salary cap to funnel more money to Kawhi Leonard — and now federal prosecutors are looking into the matter.
The Justice Department has opened a criminal investigation into the Clippers' efforts to secure "no-show" endorsement deals for Kawhi Leonard, the New York Times reports. This investigation is being run out of the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn, the office that has traditionally looked into issues with professional sports leagues.
The investigation is in its earliest stages, and it's unclear what, if any, federal charges could come out of it, according to the report.
The Justice Department investigation comes in addition to the Securities and Exchange Commission looking into Daktronics' role in the scandal, as it had an endorsement deal with Leonard despite never having had a celebrity endorser before and there being no evidence Leonard did anything for the company. Daktronics is publicly traded, and the SEC is tasked with protecting shareholders.
The NBA oversaw a year-long investigation of its own into the Clippers working to circumvent the salary cap with Leonard and last month came down with the harshest penalties ever imposed on a team:

Welcome back, readers! I am happy to return for a second year as The Sporting Tribune's fantasy football ****** yst. If you are new here, my mission is to help fantasy managers with any dilemmas or questions they may have through the course of the season to ultimately win their leagues. For the next 17 weeks, I will produce weekly fantasy content that will go over the waiver wire, rankings, and Start 'Em, Sit 'Em columns.
Being a fantasy manager often means having to make difficult roster decisions, but I aim to take some of the guesswork out of it with my Start 'Em and Sit 'Em column for every position. It goes without saying that I won't include obvious calls like "start Trey McBride" or "sit Tommy DeVito." Instead, I search for players that could be perceived as fringe that could propel your lineups for weekly wins.
As always, if you have any questions or don't see your players on here, feel free to follow me on Twitter (X) – JamesNewell96 and send me a message, where I typically respond in a timely manner.
Kyle Pitts Sr. @ PIT (Projected FPTS - 9.4): Despite the news of Cooper Rush likely being named the Week One starter, I am still high on Pitts. He finished last season as one of the top fantasy tight ends with Kirk Cousins under center. Besides, Atlanta doesn't really have many options for pass catchers after Bijan Robinson and Drake London, and new head coach Kevin Stefanski typically uses his tight ends. Pittsburgh is also a favorable matchup, allowing 11 touchdowns and the third-most points to the position last season.
Dallas Goedert vs. WSH (Projected FPTS - 8.5): Goedert finished last season with a career-high 11 touchdowns. While it's easy to ****** ume some regression, the Eagles traded A.J. Brown, and rookie wideout Makai Lemon is coming off a hamstring injury. Philly's passing attack will likely feature DeVonta Smith and Goedert for at least the early part of the season. He will take on a Commanders team that allowed 12 touchdowns the season before (tied for the second-most). Goedert should expect to see a fair share of targets, making him worth putting in your lineup.
