Florida State SS Alex Lodise wins the Dick Howser Trophy as the top college player in the nation
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Florida State shortstop Alex Lodise has been named winner of the Dick Howser Trophy as the national player of the year, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association announced Friday. Lodise is the third player in program history to win the Howser, joining J.D. Drew in 1997 and Buster Posey in 2008. The award has been presented annually since 1987 and is named after former FSU All-American and head coach Dick Howser. Lodise was named Atlantic Coast Conference player and defensive player of the year, and he also is a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award as the top amateur player in the nation and Brooks Wallace Award as the nation's top shortstop. Lodise ranked among the national leaders with a .394 batting average, 17 home runs, 18 doubles, 68 RBIs and .705 slugging percentage. He committed only five errors on 216 fielding chances (.977) and was part of 34 double plays. The junior from Jacksonville, Florida, had at least one hit in 48 of his 58 games. He had 31 multi-hit games and 13 games with three or more hits. Among his season highlights was hitting for the cycle in a March 25 game against Florida — finishing it with a walk-off grand slam.

Cubs Trade Idea Grabs Chris Sale From Braves Amid Pitching Injuries
Cubs Trade Idea Grabs Chris Sale From Braves Amid Pitching Injuries originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Not every team in Major League Baseball has played as well as the Chicago Cubs, as one of the other National League contenders, the Atlanta Braves, has been one of the most disappointing teams in baseball. Advertisement When the Braves entered the year, the expectation was for them to compete for a World Series. Instead, they're already 13.5 games back in the National League East, sitting in fourth place, even below the brutal Washington Nationals. With the Braves struggling as much as they have, many expect them to potentially sell at the deadline. One name who could be moved is Chris Sale, a left-hander who is arguably still one of the top arms in MLB after dominating hitters a year ago, winning the National League Cy Young Award. While Sale is much older, 36 years old, he's still been a very elite arm, something the Cubs would love to add to the middle of their rotation. Chicago Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer talks to the media after introducing pitcher Shota Imanaga (not pictured) during a press conference at Loews Chicago Krzaczynski-Imagn Images In a recent trade idea from Newsweek, they'd accomplished just that. Newsweek discussed how the Braves could be sellers at the deadline due to their recent performance, and Sale makes perfect sense for what the Cubs currently need. Advertisement 'Sale is not a name that would've been thought of at the beginning of the season, but he has now become an intriguing option due to the struggles from the Atlanta Braves. 'After a shaky start to the season, Sale has bounced back and has a 2.79 ERA with 107 strikeouts across 80 2/3 innings pitched,' they wrote. Sale hasn't been as good as he was in 2024, but he still has a 2.79 ERA and has struck out 107 hitters in 80.2 innings. With that type of production, he'd be the best arm on Chicago's staff, something the front office should be looking for.

Cubs Trade Idea Lands Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi
Cubs Trade Idea Lands Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Cubs are one of the most dominant teams in the National League. Led by the sixth-ranked offense, Chicago has secured a modest five-game advantage in the NL Central and is showing no signs of slowing down. Advertisement Despite the success, injuries have decimated their starting rotation, creating a lack of top-tier arms capable of dominating in the postseason. While Shota Imanaga is on track to return sometime later this month, the Cubs cannot solely rely on him. President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer said as much to the media earlier this week by revealing the team is in the 'information gathering stage.' Although he did not list potential trade targets, it is apparent that the Cubs intend to play at the top of the trade market. One starting pitcher who would fill Chicago's need for a proven postseason ace is Texas Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi. Texas Rangers pitcher Nathan Eovaldi (17) throws during the first inning against the New York Yankees at Globe Life Dieb-Imagn Images Eovaldi has been on the injured list since May 29 due to a triceps injury, but the 35-year-old is eligible to return on Friday. If proven to be healthy, Eovaldi may be the most overlooked pitcher potentially on the trade block. Advertisement The former two-time All-Star leads MLB with a 1.56 ERA, 0.808 WHIP, and one shutout across 69.1 innings. He may not have the name value of Sandy Alcantara or Zach Gallen, but his track record is far better, especially in the playoffs. Touting a 9-3 record and 3.05 career ERA, Eovaldi has been a steady presence in each of his three trips to the postseason. Placing him at the top of a group consisting of Imanaga, Jameson Taillon, and Matthew Boyd would give Chicago a formidable starting rotation in the playoffs. The hang-up in acquiring Eovaldi is his three-year, $75M contract signed through 2027 and his no-trade clause. Eovaldi could be reluctant to leave Texas, knowing it is his birthplace, and after just signing a new deal. However, with the Rangers dangerously close to last place, he may value a chance at winning a third World Series trophy over comfort. If the Cubs are serious about contending this season, they will embrace an all-in mentality at the deadline. Eovaldi's history of postseason success might be enough to push them over the top.
