Yankees' Max Fried ready for first taste of Subway Series
Facing the Mets is nothing new for Max Fried. In eight seasons with the Atlanta Braves, the left-handed Fried threw more innings (109) against the Mets than any other opponent, while his 23 appearances and 18 starts were tied for his most against any team. Advertisement Fried's 2.48 ERA versus the Mets was his lowest against any of the Braves' National League East rivals. But Sunday night marks his first start against the Mets as a member of the Yankees — and his official introduction to the Subway Series. I just enjoy competing,' Fried told the Daily News on Saturday. 'I just enjoy going out there and playing, so these matchups, especially when it's Mets-Yankees, it's exciting.' Fried watched from the dugout as the Yankees won Friday night's Subway Series opener, 6-2, and then as they fell, 3-2, on Saturday afternoon. Both games in the Bronx were sellouts — and very rowdy. Advertisement 'I grew up in Los Angeles, so you get a little bit of that with some Lakers-Clippers stuff, just being in the same city,' Fried said. 'They shared the same stadium for a while. It's cool. It's a cool rivalry that everyone's really looking forward to, and obviously you could see [it in Friday's opener] with the energy in the stadium.' Fried, 31, is off to a stellar start in his first season with the Yankees. He entered Sunday with a 1.11 ERA, the lowest among qualified pitchers, through nine starts, while his 6-0 record gave him a share of the MLB lead in wins. When the Yankees signed Fried in the winter to an eight-year, $218 million contract — the biggest deal ever for a left-handed pitcher — it marked their first major addition following the departure of slugger Juan Soto. Advertisement Soto signed a record-setting 15-year, $765 million deal with the Mets following an unprecedented bidding war with the Yankees, Toronto Blue Jays, Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. 'I was waiting for him to sign, so I was definitely watching him and seeing how that was shaping out,' Fried said of Soto. 'But I haven't given too much thought of what [would have] happened if something else [did]. I was excited to get the opportunity to come here, and I've been really enjoying it so far.' That was part of a fluid offseason for both clubs. After adding Fried, the Yankees also signed first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and traded for outfielder Cody Bellinger and reliever Devin Williams. They showed interest, too, in right-handed starter Griffin Canning, who ultimately signed a one-year, $4.25 million deal with the Mets. Advertisement 'If we didn't end up with Fried and this second group of players, we probably would have gone the Soto-Canning path,' Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake told The News on Saturday. Fried has been a godsend for the Yankees, who entered Sunday with an 8-1 record in the games he started. The Yankees have leaned on him even more after ace Gerrit Cole underwent season-ending elbow surgery during spring training. In his lone start against the Mets last season, Fried hurled seven no-hit innings at Citi Field before exiting with 109 pitches. The Mets spoiled that no-hit bid with two outs in the ninth against Braves closer Raisel Iglesias. Going into Sunday's game, Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor was 3-for-28 (.107) with a home run in his career against Fried, while left fielder Brandon Nimmo was 3-for-27 (.111). Advertisement First baseman Pete Alonso was 10-for-36 (.278) with two homers and 12 strikeouts. Soto, who faced Fried regularly as a member of the Washington Nationals, was 9-for-27 (.333) with five walks and nine strikeouts, with a double accounting for his lone extra-base hit. 'He's obviously got a really good heater,' Alonso said of Fried. 'He can command the ball inside and out of the zone, and I think it's his control, control of where he wants to put the ball on a consistent basis. He's obviously got really good stuff. He's a great arm.' Fried was part of the Braves' tight division battle with the Mets in 2022, as well as last year's playoff push that took both teams down to the wire. Advertisement He won the World Series with the Braves in 2021. Now with the Yankees, Fried is again embracing the biggest stage. 'It's been really great to get to play with these guys,' Fried said. 'I've got really great teammates who want to go out there and win every day. We're playing some good baseball right now, and it's been a lot of fun to go out there and compete.'

Travis Scott mistaken for trespasser, tackled by security at Lakers-Clippers game
Travis Scott found himself in an unexpected courtside altercation on Tuesday night after a security guard at the Intuit Dome mistook him for an unauthorized spectator. The rapper, who was sitting courtside for the Lakers-Clippers game alongside Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin and his daughter Kylie, was stopped while attempting to exit the arena after the game. As Scott, wearing a brown coat, chain, and green shirt, made his way across the court, a security guard—seemingly unaware of his identity—firmly grabbed the back of his coat, attempting to restrain him. Video footage shows Scott struggling to break free before additional security and venue staff intervened, allowing him to continue on his way. NBA security didn't recognize Travis Scott 💀 (h/t — Legion Hoops (@LegionHoops) "Security thought Travis Scott was a random 😭😭😭," one user posted, capturing the moment the rapper was nearly tackled on the hardwood. Security guard gon be working at Chuck E. Cheese by the end of the week — Real Sturdy 🧠👁✊🏽 (@KingSmoove009) Love Travis but the man has zero Aura, that's an honest mistake — Karabo🦉 (@_kaysway_) Despite the bizarre incident, Scott appeared unfazed, dapping up someone near the tunnel before exiting. The situation left fans in disbelief, considering Scott's global fame as a multi-platinum artist and former Super Bowl halftime performer. The Clippers and Intuit Dome officials have yet to comment on the incident, while Scott himself has remained silent. Meanwhile, on the court, the Lakers dominated the Clippers with a 122-97 victory, led by LeBron James' 26-point performance.

NBA trade deadline live updates: Lakers introduce Luka Dončić, Jimmy Butler market remains fluid
The NBA trade deadline is 3 p.m. ET Thursday, but the league didn't waste any time getting the party started. The Dallas Mavericks shocked the world by dealing Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night in a deal that included Anthony Davis. The Sacramento Kings did what they had to do by sending former All-Star De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs in a three-team deal Sunday night. Many speculated this year's trade deadline would be difficult because of new CBA restrictions that greatly limit the flexibility of teams over the luxury tax, but monster headlines are still being made. And the ongoing Jimmy Butler saga continues to evolve in Miami, with the latest reporting centering around his unwillingness to sign an extension with the Golden State Warriors, who had shown interest in acquiring the six-time All-Star. When will the next blockbuster deal go down? Yahoo Sports has you covered with the latest rumors, signings, trades and analysis as teams scramble to make moves before the deadline. Details for every trade can be found here. The first blockbuster trade of the season, and one of the most stunning deals in recent history, went down late on Saturday night. The Dallas Mavericks sent superstar Luka Dončić to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis. Here's everything you need to know about that wild trade: Lakers championship odds jump after Luka Dončić trade Luka and LeBron? How the NBA All-Star draft predicted the trade Does shocking Luka Dončić trade signify a changing NBA landscape? Grading the Lakers-Mavs trade: Who won the swap? Mavs GM defends trading Luka Dončić away Mark Cuban wasn't involved in Luka-AD trade LeBron James plans to stay with Lakers thru deadline Mavs blown out by Cavs after trade Winners and losers of the Mavs-Lakers trade Luka thanks Mavs fans amid protests at team's arena He's not playing. But Luka Dončić is the building for Tuesday's Lakers-Clippers game. Luka getting ready to take in his first game on the Lakers bench 🤩Lakers-Clippers on TNT 🍿 — NBA (@NBA) February 5, 2025 Mavericks fans, understandably, are upset about the Luka Dončić trade. And there are reports that the Mavericks have actually offered refunds to some of those upset season-ticket holders. For more, click the photo: An inside look at Luka Dončić's subdued Lakers introduction from Yahoo Sports' Vincent Goodwill. Click on the photo for story: The Philadelphia 76ers are trading Caleb Martin to the Dallas Mavericks, sources tell ESPN. — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 4, 2025 Dallas is sending Quentin Grimesand Philadelphia's 2025 second-round pick back to the 76ers for Martin, sources tell ESPN. — Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 4, 2025 Sources: Jimmy Butler's camp has repeatedly told Heat he's in shape, healthy and ready to continue his career and move past this immediately. Their messaging to Heat has been to negotiate best deal possible and once in red zone, if that team is granted permission by MIA to speak… — Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) February 4, 2025 Luka Dončić was introduced on Tuesday as the newest member of the Los Angeles Lakers, following Saturday night's shocking trade from the Dallas Mavericks that shook the NBA. Sitting on a dias alongside Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka, Dončić said he would "take the high road" in response to comments about him from the Mavericks after the trade was made. "At some point, I knew this was going to happen, but I always take the high road," Dončić said. "I had my amazing moments in Dallas with my teammates, coaches and, most importantl,y the fans. They always supported me. It was an amazing journey." "That first day was really hard. I felt like this last 48 hours was one month ... Today was much better. I'm just very happy to be here."- Luka Doncic on his emotions after being traded to the Lakers — CBS Sports (@CBSSports) February 4, 2025 Dončić said he has always looked up to new teammate LeBron James and called it "a dream come true" to play with the NBA's all-time leading scorer. Though he said he hasn't had much time to think about basketball since the whirlwind circumstances of the trade, Dončić has thought about how he and James will work together on the court. "I'm excited to learn from him," he said. "We both make our teammates better. Our IQ is very high." Read the full story here. "When I got a call, I had to check if it was April 1st. I didn't really believe it at first."–Luka on when he got the call he was being traded — ESPN (@espn) February 4, 2025 Only a few days removed from the stunning trade that sent Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards remains shocked and bewildered that a deal of that magnitude could go down. Dončić, who turns 26 later this month, is a five-time All-NBA First Team player and last season's scoring champion, among other accomplishments. To Edwards, he still can't get over the fact that the Mavericks would be open to moving a player on that level. "They say that nobody knew about the trade. That's crazy," Edwards said following Minnesota's loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday. "At 25 [years old], they traded probably the best scorer in the NBA. And he didn't know about it. There's a lot more digging somebody's gotta do to find out why he got traded. Because you don't just trade him at 25. He just went to the Finals. I feel bad for Luka, man." The reaction across the basketball world has been a mix of anger and disbelief. Mavericks fans are upset that general manager Nico Harrison believed this was a trade to make for a 26-24 team that sits eighth in the Western Conference. Some protested the move on Sunday by staging a mock funeral and spray-painting messages directed at Harrison. Dončić's own father slammed the organization, saying his son "absolutely doesn't deserve this." Read the full story here. Anthony Edwards on the Luka Doncic trade 😂😂😂 — SneakerReporter (@SneakerReporter) February 4, 2025 Michael Porter isn't going anywhere. Nuggets coach Michael Malone insisted on Monday night that, despite rumors to the contrary, the team won't be trading Porter before Thursday's deadline. "No because we're not trading Michael Porter," Malone said on Monday, via ESPN. "So I'm not touching base with anybody on that ... And if there's something coming obviously [Nuggets GM Calvin Booth] will talk with me and I'm sure we'll communicate with whatever players. But Michael is a really important piece, he helped us win a championship." Porter has averaged 18 points and 6.4 rebounds per game this season. He had a season-high 36 points in Monday's 125-113 win over the Pelicans, too. We have a pick swap on Monday night. The Oklahoma City Thunder received the Charlotte Hornets' 2030 second-round draft pick (which originally belonged to the Denver Nuggets) in exchange for their 2029 second-round draft pick (which originally belonged to the Phoenix Suns. We'll see what this leads to, if anything ... The Thunder have acquired Denver's 2030 second-round draft pick from Charlotte in exchange for Phoenix's 2029 second-round draft pick. — Marc Stein (@TheSteinLine) February 4, 2025 The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback talked about the stunning trade surrounding his favorite NBA team at Super Bowl media day on Monday night. "As a Dallas fan, it hurts me." .@PatrickMahomes on the Luka Dončić trade📺: #SBOpeningNight on @nflnetwork 📱: Stream on @NFLPlus — NFL (@NFL) February 4, 2025 LeBron James was out for dinner when news his Los Angeles Lakers had traded for Luka Dončić took him by surprise, according to ESPN's Dave McMenamin. It is hard to believe that James was blindsided by the news, since the agent he shares with Anthony Davis, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, was reportedly alerted to the proposal in the days before a deal; but it makes some sense, because this deal is not about James. This trade was about the opportunity to acquire a 25-year-old perennial MVP candidate at half the cost. It was not about this season, either. The Lakers are not winning a championship with James making 35% of their salary cap. It will be incredible theater for James and Dončić to share the floor together. If Dončić adopts James' conditioning regimen, the Lakers will be better for it, but James is 40 years old; he cannot sustain the kind of peak two-way performance they need from his $48.7 million for an entire playoff run. Which is why the Lakers should trade James now. The Golden State Warriors have been linked to Jimmy Butler, whose relationship with the Miami Heat has been quickly deteriorating as Thursday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline approaches. On Monday, ESPN's Shams Charania shed some light on what the Warriors are looking to do to give future Hall of Famer Stephen Curry a chance to extend his championship window. And it's apparently more than just looking at Butler. "The Warriors are legitimately calling about every All-Star made calls on EVERY includes Paul George, LeBron James and Kevin Durant" ~ @ShamsCharania #PMSLive — Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) February 3, 2025 Whatever the Warriors decide to do, it'll be fascinating to see it unfold. Luka Dončić with a message for the fans 💛 — Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) February 3, 2025 With the NBA trade deadline approaching, some teams who are traveling on Thursday are reportedly making contingency plans for any major trades. A few teams have rearranged their itineraries to avoid being in the air while the deadline passes, per Chris Haynes — avoiding any potentially awkward situations mid-flight. In light of major NBA movement recently, a few teams that are scheduled to travel on Feb. 6 of the trade deadline have adjusted itineraries after realizing the team would be in the air when the deadline passed. This is to prevent a potential awkward flight. — Chris Haynes (@ChrisBHaynes) February 3, 2025 Several teams will be flying out to play games on Friday. One of these is the Miami Heat, who travel to Brooklyn for a game against the Nets on Friday; the Heat are trying to find a landing place for Jimmy Butler amid an ongoing saga as Butler seeks a trade. Other teams that will be traveling on Thursday include the Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs, Milwaukee Bucks, Philadelphia 76ers, Toronto Raptors and Utah Jazz — all of whom could try to make moves ahead of the deadline. After spending his entire eight-year career in Sacramento, De'Aaron Fox is headed to San Antonio as part of a three-team trade. Fox released a statement on his Instagram thanking the fans for "all the love you've showed me and my family." A few words from De'Aaron Fox … — Jason Anderson (@JandersonSacBee) February 3, 2025 The Golden State Warriors, at least for now, are out on Jimmy Butler. The Warriors ended trade talks with the Miami Heat on Sunday night after he told them that he's not willing to sign an extension there, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. The Heat's Jimmy Butler has communicated to the Warriors that he's unwilling to sign an extension there & therefore trade talks to send him to Golden State have ended for now, sources told ESPN. — Brian Windhorst (@WindhorstESPN) February 3, 2025 De'Aaron Fox got his wish.
