With the New York Yankees rotation struggling with the worst ERA in the majors right now, it is clear that general manager Brian Cashman needs to go out and get some help.

Pablo Lopez is a possible solution.

The 29-year-old Twins right-hander is currently sidelined with a minor hamstring issue, but he’s expected to return well before the trade deadline. And if Minnesota doesn’t get out of its slow start to the season, Lopez could instantly become one of the top starters on the market. He was an All-Star in 2023.

If Lopez returns from injury and regains his form, the Twins may ask for a big name talent to headline a deal. With Gerrit Cole out for the year and the rest of the rotation showing serious cracks, New York might be unable to afford not to make a deal, no matter how high the cost.

Rangers fans still showed up Thursday at Madison Square Garden, as they always do, to witness the end of a season which offered them very little to be proud of.  

They’ve endured a disastrous 2024-25 campaign all the way through.

The Rangers became the fourth team in NHL history to miss the postseason one year after winning the Presidents’ Trophy, dropping from a franchise-record 55 wins all the way down to 39.

They managed a 4-0 win over the Lightning in Thursday’s regular-season finale, but neither team had anything to play for.

Rory McIlroy, the pre-tournament second “choice,” behind Scottie Scheffler, survived a bad last round and won a playoff vs Justin Rose, to win the prestigious Masters golf crown for the first time.

Oh he nearly blew it, but now has won 5 major golf tournaments.

McIlroy is now the sixth golfer ever to win all four majors and achieve the career Grand Slam, joining Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.

Quite good company!
