Which Canucks Would Make This Year's Hypothetical All-Star Game?
This is not the first time that the Canucks and Hurricanes have discussed a potential trade involving Nečas. Last season, reports indicated that the two teams were discussing a trade where Nečas would head to Vancouver in exchange for center Elias Pettersson. In the end, no trade occurred, and Pettersson signed an eight-year extension just a few days later.
Canucks asked about Necas in Miller trade talks but were quickly told no.

With Carolina acquiring both Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall, it looks like they are out of the Miller sweepstakes. Reporting over the past couple of days had linked the Hurricanes to Miller, but no deal appears to have materialized. Miller has also been linked to the New York Rangers and, according to reports, was almost dealt to his former team less than two weeks ago.The Canucks are slowly running out of time to make a massive trade this season. The 2025 Trade Deadline is scheduled for March 7th, which is 42 days away. Based on the way Vancouver is playing, fans can expect plenty of rumours surrounding the team up until the deadline hits.

Yankees Slugger Has Blunt Message For Team Amid Losing Stretch
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 New York Yankees have struggled for a few weeks now, and it's starting to become concerning for the Bronx Bombers. The Yankees are a shocking 7-9 in the 16 games following the All-Star break, including the crushing three-game sweep they suffered at the hands of the surging Miami Marlins. The Bronx Bombers have beaten themselves a lot as of late. Their defense has been lackadaisical at times, while they seem to run themselves into at least one or two outs per game. Recently, young slugger Ben Rice sent a strong message to the team, fans and media about the Yankees and their sense of urgency going forward. MIAMI, FLORIDA - AUGUST 03: Trent Grisham #12 celebrates with teammate Ben Rice #22 of the New York Yankees after hitting a home run during the first inning against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot park... MIAMI, FLORIDA - AUGUST 03: Trent Grisham #12 celebrates with teammate Ben Rice #22 of the New York Yankees after hitting a home run during the first inning against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot park on August 03, 2025 in Miami, Florida. More"I wouldn't say there's concern, but I would say, I think a little sense of urgency would be good for us going forward," Rice said on Sunday, via YES Network. "Just to continue do what we can to win ballgames. And that's gonna be do all the little things. It's gonna be, hopefully, we sync up pitching and hitting. That's it." The Yankees are in third place in the American League East, sitting 4 1/2 games behind the Toronto Blue Jays at this point. They sit in the second wild-card spot, half a game up of the Seattle Mariners for the third spot. But they're only 2 1/2 games ahead of the Texas Rangers, who are hunting for the wild card. If the Yankees can't right the ship in the coming weeks, there's a chance they're on the outside looking in on the postseason. The good news is that Aaron Judge should be back in the lineup in the near future. Judge's dominance can typically overshadow the smaller mistakes, but the Yankees still need to clean it up.

Battle for starting job on 49ers OL is over according to position coach
The San Francisco 49ers have been dealing with multiple injury situations through the early stages of training camp, but one was rectified last week offensive lineman Ben Bartch returned to field after a quadriceps injury that he suffered away from the team's facilities landed him on the active/non-football injury list to start camp. Bartch, 27, played collegiately at Saint John's from 2016-19, earning All-MIAC in his last two seasons before the Jacksonville Jaguars took him in the fourth round (No. 116 overall) of the 2020 NFL draft. He was a starting guard in Jacksonville for two seasons before a knee injury, but he was benched not long after his return and was waived and placed on their practice squad in November 2023. The 49ers signed Bartch a few weeks later and have used him as a backup for most of the last two seasons. With Aaron Banks leaving on a four-year, $77 million deal with the Green Bay Packers in free agency, San Francisco gave Bartch a one-year, $1.34 million extension and were expected to give him an opportunity to compete for the starting job in training camp. While Bartch was sidelined for the first few practices, there was some belief that the veteran may win the job, but offensive line coach Chris Foerster gave him a vote of confidence over the weekend. 'It's Bartch's job to lose, really,' Foerster said on Sunday. 'Nick [Zakelj] had a chance when Ben was hurt early, but Ben came back quick enough that if Nick would have really asserted himself, [he could have] taken the role, but he didn't. He was good, but we still feel Ben gives us the best shot.' Zakelj actually played more offensive snaps in 2024 (162) than Bartch has in two years in San Francisco (93), but he didn't take the leap that Foerster and the 49ers were hoping he would. As long as the group remains healthy, San Francisco's line should be Trent Williams, Bartch, Jake Brendel, Dominick Puni and Colton McKivitz from left to right entering Week 1. They've started seasons with worse units. More 49ers: 49ers sign 30-TD WR, release sixth-year WR to open roster spot

Yankees predicted to sign three-time batting champion this offseason
Yankees predicted to sign three-time batting champion this offseason originally appeared on The Sporting News The New York Yankees may be adding one of the best pure hitters in Major League Baseball this offseason. Paul Goldschmidt has helmed first base well for the Yankees this year, but is on a one-year, $12.5 million contract and is set to be a free agent after this season. Goldschmidt is 37 years old and is not getting any younger. Though he is a seven-time All-Star, he will not be New York's long-term option at first base. That is where the three-time batting champion Luis Arráez steps in. Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller predicts that the Yankees will sign Arráez to a six-year deal this offseason. "Luis Arráez has won three consecutive batting titles and could be in the mix for a fourth if Will Smith either fades down the stretch or even fails to make enough plate appearances to qualify, which he is barely on pace to do," Miller wrote. "But Arráez doesn't draw walks, hit home runs, steal bases or play great defense, making it tough to see anyone giving him a $20M AAV. If he's reaching $100M total, it's probably going to need to be at least a seven-year deal. Arráez certainly is not a power hitter, but he consistently gets on base. The 28-year-old has a career average of .319 and is slashing .298/.333/.740 this season and has only struck out 12 times in 430 at-bats. Arráez is on a one-year, $14 million deal with the San Diego Padres, but with his skill set, he would be a welcome addition with New York. More MLB:
