MLB rumors: Yankees narrowing in on specific position before trade deadline

Hong Kong football powerhouse Kitchee has hired former Brighton defender Inigo Calderon as their new head coach, hoping he can turn things around after a disappointing season. Calderon steps in following Edgar Cardoso’s departure, who left after Kitchee failed to win any trophies for the first time in over a decade. The move was reportedly facilitated by John Morling, a key figure in Hong Kong football with ties to Brighton’s academy.

Editor’s Note: Kitchee is betting on Calderon’s experience—both as a player and his coaching background—to revive their fortunes. For fans, this signals ambition after a rare slump, and Calderon’s connection to Brighton’s system (via Morling) suggests a strategic hire rather than a random gamble. It’s a big moment for Hong Kong football, where Kitchee’s success often lifts the entire league’s profile.

Indian chess prodigy D Gukesh just pulled off a stunner—beating world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen twice in a row at a major tournament in Zagreb. Even Carlsen admitted Gukesh is "doing incredibly well," while chess legend Garry Kasparov used the moment to question whether Carlsen’s dominance might be slipping. Gukesh, playing with the tougher black pieces, is now leading the event with five straight wins.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another chess upset—it’s a potential changing of the guard moment. Gukesh, only 18, is proving he can consistently outplay the best, while Carlsen’s invincibility is suddenly up for debate. For chess fans, it’s a thrilling shake-up in a sport where dominance usually lasts for years.

Australia had a rollercoaster first day in the second Test against the West Indies, collapsing early before Alex Carey (63) and Beau Webster (60) bailed them out with a gritty century stand. Their partnership pushed the Aussies to a respectable 286, turning what could’ve been a disaster into a competitive total.

Editor’s Note: Test cricket’s all about resilience, and this innings was a perfect example. After a shaky start, Carey and Webster’s partnership not only saved Australia’s blushes but also sets up an intriguing battle—can the West Indies chase this down, or will Australia’s bowlers capitalize? Either way, day two’s got plenty to watch.

The Dodgers have parted ways with a promising Triple-A hitter batting .330, a move that comes on the heels of Max Muncy's serious injury. While the team is shuffling players to fill gaps, letting go of a high-performing minor leaguer raises eyebrows—especially when they’re already dealing with a key player’s absence.

Editor’s Note: Losing Muncy is a big blow to the Dodgers' lineup, and cutting a hot hitter from the minors adds another layer of uncertainty. Fans might wonder if this is a strategic misstep or just a tough call in a tight spot. Either way, it’s a storyline to watch as the team scrambles to stay competitive.

The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays faced off in a game packed with standout plays, and FOX has rounded up the best moments—think clutch hits, slick defensive plays, and maybe a homer or two. Whether you missed the action or just want to relive it, these highlights have you covered.

Editor’s Note: For baseball fans, especially Yankees and Blue Jays supporters, this is a quick way to catch the game’s juiciest bits without sitting through nine innings. It’s also a snapshot of how these AL East rivals are performing mid-season, which could hint at playoff momentum (or drama) down the line.
