Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 06:18:48 GMT

A catcher drafted by the Orioles will start the All-Star Game. It just won’t be the one currently on their roster.Texas Rangers catcher Jonah Heim topped Baltimore’s Adley Rutschman in the second phase of fan voting to be elected the American League’s starting backstop in next month’s Midsummer Classic at Seattle’s T-Mobile Park, Major League Baseball announced Thursday night. Heim, one of four Rangers who fans voted to start, was the Orioles’ fourth-round draft pick in 2013 and was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in 2016 for utility player Steve Pearce.The first overall pick in the 2019 draft, Rutschman was the only Oriole to be a finalist at his position. He won the first phase of fan voting by a comfortable margin, with his nearly 1.3 million votes roughly 320,000 more than Heim’s total.

James Harden requests yet another trade after picking up $35.6 million player option

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 06:18:48 GMT

Things have officially gone haywire in the Atlantic Division.James Harden, the aging playmaker and expert trade demander, opted into his contract for the Sixers on Thursday because it will help facilitate a deal and he desires a relocation, according to ESPN. The Knicks and Clippers were reported as early suitors for Harden, who has requested trades from three different teams in a span of just 2 ½ years.The Clippers make more sense as a destination for Harden, 33, who was unhappy living in New York during his short stint with the Nets. People around the NBA were skeptical the Knicks would seriously pursue Harden to pair with Jalen Brunson in the backcourt.Perhaps more important is the domino effect in Philadelphia. If Harden is out, what does that mean for the Sixers’ contending timeline and Joel Embiid, in particular? Embiid, the league’s reigning MVP, has been mentioned around league circles as New York’s ideal trade candidate if he ever demands out.The 30-y...
