SAN JUAN, PR - What started as a bizarre report linking Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz to cockfighting events in Puerto Rico somehow escalated even further Friday morning — and now the focus has completely shifted to Diaz’s inner circle. Earlier today, a viral USA Today investigation alleged that Diaz had been connected to multiple cockfighting events on the island through social media posts, promotional appearances and local interviews. The report referenced photos and event adve

Another week, another major shakeup in the race to the 2026 Cancun Playoffs. Remember: in these rankings, losing is winning. Stack defeats, collapse in dramatic fashion, create clubhouse dysfunction — that’s how you climb toward Cancun glory. And right now? Several franchises are beginning to separate themselves from the pack. Top 10 — Cancun Elite 1. North Japan Samurai (67–0, NPB) At this point, they’ve transcended baseball entirely. The defending Cancun champions improved

The Cancun race is tightening. Contenders are separating themselves — not by winning, but by fully committing to the art of losing. Remember: the worse you are, the better your Cancun chances. Stack wins, and you’re headed in the wrong direction. Here’s where things stand after another chaotic week across MLB. Top 10 — Cancun Contenders 1. North Japan Samurai (47–0, NPB) Still perfect. Still inevitable. The defending Cancun champions somehow improved to 47-0, with Tony Ohtani

BRONX - The New York Yankees are making an unprecedented in-season adjustment after second baseman Chazz Jizzums was formally banned from issuing ABS (Automated Ball-Strike) challenges for the remainder of the 2026 season, league sources confirmed early Saturday morning. Jizzums, who opened the year with a staggering 1-for-67 success rate on challenges, had become a nightly subplot across the league—frequently halting games to contest pitches that, more often than not, weren’

The road to October in Cancun is heating up. Every week, we’ll be ranking all 30 MLB teams — plus two certified Cancun powerhouses — based on their likelihood to qualify for the 2026 Cancun Playoffs. Quick reminder: these rankings reward losing. The more you lose, the closer you are to Cancun. Win too much, and you risk falling out of contention entirely. (Unless you’re North Japan.

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Dodgers are doing what they always do: seeing a problem… and immediately attempting to solve it by acquiring the best possible player available. According to Fax Sports insider Holly Baylor, the Dodgers have “checked in” with the San Diego Padres regarding closer Mason Miller following news that newly acquired All-Star closer Edwin Díaz is expected to miss up to three months after elbow surgery. Early discussions are rumored to center around youn

ATLANTA — Hold onto your catchers’ masks, baseball fans — this one’s going straight into the blooper Hall of Fame. Last night at Truist Park, in the top of the ninth with the Braves already down 3-0, Guardians speedster Steven Kwan took off for second on a wild pitch from Osvaldo Bido. What should’ve been a routine play turned into an absolute comedy of errors starring Braves backstop Jonah (also known as Jonas) Heim. The ball squirted into the dirt. Heim lunged… fumbled… sta

ATLANTA — In the most insane sports crossover of 2026, the Atlanta Falcons have officially signed Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss to a two-year contract worth $8.5 million (with $2 million in performance bonuses tied to tackles and sacks) to play linebacker. The deal was fast-tracked after Walt Weiss dropped Angels slugger Jorge Soler with a perfect form tackle straight out of an NFL film room during a benches-clearing brawl at Angel Stadium Tuesday night. Here’s how it wen

TORONTO - Hold onto your Dear Leader bobbleheads, baseball fans — this one’s nuclear. In the most geopolitically unhinged transaction since the Cold War, the Toronto Blue Jays have traded struggling left-handed reliever Brendon Little to the North Korea national team, sources tell ESPN’s Jeff Passan. The deal was sealed late Monday night, just hours after Little turned a bad night into an international incident. Facing the Colorado Rockies in Toronto’s 14-5 beatdown, Little e

QUEENS - In what may already be the most chaotic storyline of Opening Day, a report from TMZ has sent shockwaves through both clubhouses and timelines alike: social media influencer Livvy Dunne was allegedly seen Snapchatting New York Mest third baseman Brent Baty during the game—just moments after he ripped a go-ahead three-run triple off her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes. Yes, that actually happened. According to multiple fans sitting behind home plate scrol
