Here are my top 10 MLB futures for the coming season. Last year I did have a losing futures record, but I asked consistently injured players to stay healthy and they didn't.

People really don't want me to do any work.

Call the travel on Brunson.

They say players in the modern NBA don’t play defense

What in the world are you supposed to do with this?

Dude

How do 3 refs miss that

Oh thank goodness. I thought we were going to get last battered by Gore.

Very disappointed not to get a 2027 1st, but #HowieSZN will get us another one if we need it.

🚨🚨🚨

ESPN sources: The Eagles are trading Pro-Bowl WR A.J. Brown to the Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick that is the better of New England’s two fifths. The deal that has been speculated on for weeks now finally is happening. Brown and Patriots HC Mike Vrabel are reuniting.

[Mid Major Matt @MidMajorMatt]

I would have dealt Carter and a 1st. No doubt.

[Ryan Fowler @_RyanFowler_]

The Eagles’ interest in Myles Garrett was more than exploratory, per source.

Ultimately, seems like Jared Verse/‘27 1st >>> some combination of Nolan Smith or Jalyx Hunt/combo of picks forced a clear tipping point in talks.

Jalen Carter was a name that arose in talks, I’m told, but zero potential framework revolved around the Eagles’ star up front.

[Mid Major Matt @MidMajorMatt]

Good lord. The overreactions to one bad series against the best player in the sport.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Kendrick Perkins on Chet Holmgren:

“I would trade him before the draft... He didn't swing a punch. That showed no heart whatsoever... What Chet Holmgren showed is, 'I'm soft, and I'm scared.' He was scared throughout the entire series.”
