Yankees Predicted To Add Projected $116M Ace After Blockbuster Deadline Trade
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The New York Yankees are staring down some big decisions just ahead of the Major League Baseball trade deadline. The team has some clear needs on the roster as it looks to return to the World Series, but its season has derailed so badly that going all-in might no longer be a wise approach. The Yankees have given up first place in the American League East and lost franchise slugger Aaron Judge to the injured list. Still, it's hard to imagine any trade deadline passing without the Yankees making some kind of win-now addition. With that in mind, The Athletic's Jim Bowden predicted the Yankees would trade for one of the best available rental starters on the market by adding Zac Gallen from the Arizona Diamondbacks. Gallen appears to be available after the Diamondbacks announced their intentions to sell with a blockbuster trade of first baseman Josh Naylor to the Seattle Mariners a few days ago.

BRONX, NEW YORK - DECEMBER 21: New York Yankee general manager Brian Cashman speaks to the media during a press conference at Yankee Stadium on December 21, 2022 in Bronx, New York. (Photo by) More Satloff/Getty "The Diamondbacks are expected to be the headliner of this trade deadline," Bowden wrote for The Athletic. "After trading Josh Naylor to the Mariners and Randal Grichuk to the (Kansas City) Royals, they are now prepared to deal impending free agents Eugenio Suarez, Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly between now and Thursday's deadline." Gallen has logged a concerning 5.60 ERA so far this year but has pitched like an ace in the last few seasons. Despite a down campaign, he's projected to earn a $116 million contract this winter, per Spotrac. And he also has a hometown connection to the Yankees, as he grew up in New Jersey. With Max Fried and Carlos Rodon in the rotation, and Luis Gil expected to return in the near future, the Yankees could see a rental like Gallen as the kind of mid-rotation upgrade that makes sense for them this year. And as a result, this trade prediction is one that could well become a reality in the very near future. More MLB: Yankees Rumors: Pirates Emerging As Likely Pitching Trade Partner?

Chicago Bears to honor Virginia McCaskey, Steve McMichael in 2025
The Chicago Bears will honor matriarch Virginia Halas McCaskey and Hall of Fame defensive tackle Steve McMichael with jersey patches during the 2025 season, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Bears chairman George McCaskey told the Sun-Times that the Bears will wear a football-shaped patch with Virginia McCaskey's initials inside for every game this season, starting with next week's preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins. Virginia McCaskey passed away on Feb. 6 at the age of 102. The patch will be placed on player's jerseys above their hearts. The football is orange with navy stitches and a white outline. The navy 'M' is outlined in white and larger than the other two letters — V to the player's right, and H, for Halas, to the left. It's a nod to Virginia's father, George S. Halas, who died on Oct. 31, 1983. The Bears wore a similar patch for the remainder of the season, and it soon became permanent with the "GSH" on the left jersey sleeve which remains to this day. 'We thought it'd be appropriate to have a patch that mirrored her dad's after he passed away,' McCaskey told the Sun-Times. 'It came out great. We like the look of it.' The Bears also will not be wearing an alternate or throwback uniform this season as they remember Virginia McCaskey. The Bears will also honor McMichael, who passed away in April after a battle with ALS, with a decal on the back of their helmets. It will feature a navy football outlined in orange with white laces and his No. 76 in the middle. That same logo will be featured on Soldier Field grass on game day. McMichael was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in August 2024, less than a year before his death. The Bears have found a way to honor two important figures in their storied history who passed away this season, and fans will get their first glimpse on Aug. 10 when Chicago hosts the Dolphins for their first preseason game.
