Padres Expected To Cut Ties With Surging Outfield Prospect In Deadline Deal
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The San Diego Padres seem bound to hunt a few big trade targets at the upcoming deadline. They need to add an outfielder above all else, but it wouldn't hurt for them to add some pitching, too. With outfielders like Steven Kwan and Jarren Duran reportedly on their radar, the Padres need to be willing to cut ties with some top prospect talent to land them. FanSided's Eric Cole recently predicted the Padres would cut ties with outfield prospect Tirso Ornelas. Ornelas has crushed Triple-A pitching, but struggled in the big leagues. It could be time for a change of scenery. SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 27: Tirso Ornelas #21 of the San Diego Padres looks on before the game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Petco Park on April 27, 2025 in San Diego, California. SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - APRIL 27: Tirso Ornelas #21 of the San Diego Padres looks on before the game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Petco Park on April 27, 2025 in San Diego, California."Including Ornelas here is more just hoping he gets to a new organization where he could actually get some playing time as opposed to the crowded Padres roster," Cole wrote. "While the numbers and tools aren't the loudest with Ornelas, the guy can just hit and could probably help a team right now. "If AJ Preller finds a real upgrade for left field, catcher, or their rotation, including Ornelas, could give their trade partner a MLB-ready bat and allow San Diego to include lower-level prospects to round a potential deal out." Ornelas has been good in Triple-A, but big league pitching seems to be a tick too good for him right now. That doesn't mean he's a bust, but he certainly can't help the Padres win right now. If San Diego is going to go after an outfielder on the trade market, it would make sense to send an outfield prospect back in return. Using Ornelas in a deal to acquire a big league outfielder makes perfect sense for the Padres. More MLB: Mariners Predicted To Swing Blockbuster Eugenio Suárez Trade To Win AL West

SCORE Act advances through committee, moving college sports reform closer to House floor
A bill that would help regulate college sports and how athletes are compensated by schools made it through a House committee on Wednesday — a notable step on the way to it conceivably being put to a vote — while public criticism of the potential legislation also mounted. After years of lobbying for help from Congress by college sports leaders, the SCORE Act is the first bill to move through committees in either chamber. The House Energy and Commerce committee and the Committee on Education and the Workforce both approved the bill with only Republican votes and no Democratic support. Advertisement That clears the way for the bill to go to the floor of the House for a vote, but the soonest that could happen is in the fall Congressional session starting in September, with summer recess looming. Before either hearing was held, attorneys general from Florida, Ohio, New York, Tennessee and the District of Columbia sent a letter to six committee chairs and ranking members of Congress, detailing their strong opposition to the bill. 'The SCORE Act is a misguided effort that will enshrine in federal law the arbitrary and biased authority of the NCAA at its worst,' the letter said. The proposed legislation from seven Republican and two Democratic sponsors prevents athletes from obtaining employment status and mirrors many of the terms of the recent House v. NCAA settlement. It would officially end most administrative restrictions on athletes' name, image and likeness (NIL) compensation, but it allows schools and conferences to establish what is and isn't permissible. Should it pass, it would override current NIL laws, which vary from state to state, and grant antitrust protections to the NCAA and conferences. Critics say the bill is too deferential to the NCAA and power conferences, who have led the efforts to push for a federal law. Even if the SCORE Act passes a House vote on partisan lines with Republicans in control, it faces a much higher bar in the Senate. The bill would need 60 votes to pass in the Senate, including seven Democrats. One of those Democrats, Sen. Maria Cantwell, has already voiced opposition to the SCORE Act, calling it the 'national championship of all heists.' The players' associations of several professional sports leagues also came out with a joint statement, encouraging lawmakers to reject the bill. Big West commissioner Dan Butterly wrote in a letter to Rep. Michael Baumgartner (D-Wash.), another SCORE Act critic, that too many of the bill's provisions are skewed toward what would work for schools in the wealthiest conferences rather than the majority of Division I schools. Advertisement 'Institutions within The Big West are proud to offer meaningful educational and competitive experiences to student-athletes. But without financial safeguards, structural flexibility and inclusive policymaking, reforms like the SCORE Act may unintentionally harm the very programs they seek to protect,' Butterly wrote. As written, the SCORE Act probably has little chance of garnering enough support to pass the Senate, if it gets there. Still, the progress is meaningful. For the first time, lawmakers have prioritized the need to help college sports sort out its issues enough for a bill to be debated in committee and possibly sent to the full body for consideration. The next notable step out of Washington on college sports could be coming from the executive branch. President Donald Trump has signaled his interest in getting involved in the issue, possibly by forming a commission to search for solutions or by signing an executive order. A draft of 'Saving College Sports,' obtained by The Athletic, directs the Secretary of Labor and the National Labor Relations Board to address the debate over the employment status of college athletes. It also calls for members of Trump's cabinet and other political officials to pursue policy and protections in a number of other areas related to college sports, including rules that could be challenged by antitrust complaints and continued opportunity for scholarships and roster spots, along with preventing 'unqualified or unscrupulous agents from representing athletes.' — Stewart Mandel and Justin Williams contributed reporting.

Aaron Glenn ready for the challenge of being Jets head coach: "This is something that I've been waiting on for a long time"
Aaron Glenn woke up at 3:30 on the morning of his first training camp practice as the New York Jets ' head coach and couldn't fall back asleep. A text message sent from his wife an hour earlier had a familiar message: "Just be A.G." "And that's who I'm going to be," a smiling Glenn said after a light practice Wednesday. "Right, wrong or indifferent, nothing's going to change about how I operate, nothing's going to change about the way that I think. "But, man, I was excited." And he has been wide awake since. "This is something," he said, "that I've been waiting on for a long time." Glenn, who turned 53 last Tuesday, was hired by the Jets in January in a return to the franchise with which he was a star cornerback for the first eight seasons of his 15-year NFL playing career. Thirty-one years after being a rookie player in Jets camp, the longtime assistant coach is now tasked with trying to turn around the fortunes of a franchise that hasn't made the playoffs in 14 seasons, the league's longest active drought. "Listen, I know the pain," Glenn said. "I know all the things that the fans have been through and I know all the things you guys have been through. I might have been gone from here, but I've never been gone in spirit, so I get it. That sticks with me a ton. "I'm just telling you guys that now, I understand the pain and I'm hoping, I'm praying and I expect to make sure that pain goes away. I think about that every day." Glenn's most recent coaching gig was overseeing a defense that helped the Detroit Lions rise to one of the NFL's best teams under Dan Campbell. He played for Bill Parcells and coached for Sean Payton and kept meticulous notes, building his own foundation for how he'd do things if and when he ever got the chance to do so. Glenn has focused on changing the culture around the facility. It's an often overused term in football, but after all the losing for so long, the Jets sorely needed it. When he gathered his team Tuesday after the players officially reported for camp, Glenn told them it's a "one-day mentality" with the knowledge that the Super Bowl is always the ultimate goal. But it starts with the work that's being put in during the hot, muggy days of the next several weeks. "I've been coached by one of the greatest coaches of all time and I kind of know how it looks and know how it feels when it comes down to being around people who can take me and a team to the highest level," said defensive tackle Quinnen Williams, who played for Nick Saban at Alabama. "And (Glenn) got every aspect in him. He's got every quote. "The way he carries himself, I know he's going to be one of the greatest coaches in this league." That's high praise, but Williams isn't alone. The fact that Glenn was once a star player -- he made three Pro Bowls and was selected to the Jets' all-time four-decade team in 2003 -- carries a lot of weight with the men he's now leading as a coach. "For me, it was just getting in front of him, meeting him," fourth-year wide receiver Garrett Wilson said. "He's done this thing, he's played at a high level. He's been a Jet before, which for me is like, it's huge, man. ... He can relate. "And then not to mention, he's seen the blueprint for what it means to take a team that hasn't had much success and turn them into a top of the league, premier team, right? He's seen the blueprint twice or three times. So for me, that's really all I needed to hear." Glenn and his Jets just need to manifest it all on the field, particularly when they start their season on Sept. 7 at home against Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers. And maybe Glenn will find some time to sleep before then. "We have this whole day where we have things we need to get done," he said. "So I'm looking forward to every part of every minute of every hour of what we have going on today because it's a day of teaching. And I want to make sure I go through that the right way."
