He had two outings that stood out in this most recent postseason run, the first being his ALDS start against the Yankees, where he went 5 1/3 innings and didn't allow a single hit on 78 pitches. He had just one walk and 11 strikeouts to his credit before he was pulled with the no-hitter still intact. The second outing was his second start of the World Series, taking the mound for Game 5 on the road in Los Angeles.

The Spanish outlet claims that Van Dijk and his representatives fought until the last minute to secure a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu. Van Dijk reached out to Real Madrid to join them His agents are said to have reached out to intermediaries in Spain in a bid to establish direct contact with Real Madrid's hierarchy, hoping to explore the possibility of a move.

The New England Patriots' Mike Vrabel undertook a major roster rebuild in the 2025 offseason. One position he addressed was the edge on defense. He signed free agents Harold Landry III, who has performed as expected, and also K'Lavon Chaisson, who has exceeded expectations after nine games and is headed for a career season with 5.5 sacks already. Chaisson's previous high had been five sacks in 2024.

We already heard that the French international doesn't have a release clause in his contract (as was the case at Crystal Palace before). But, of course, no one could be 100% sure on the matter. Now, head of sport, Max Eberl, has officially confirmed that there is no release clause, and this was a clear sign to the Premier League to say, "You've got no chance of getting this player."

As long as he's still got an important role to play, for Manchester United, I still feel there's a willingness from all parties to get a new contract done. Maguire is very much open to staying at Man United. There's been talk of reported interest from the Saudi pro league, but Maguire would prefer to stay at Manchester United as long as the terms are right.

Despite some hand wringing, the San Jose City Council voted unanimously Tuesday, with Vice Mayor Pam Foley absent, to approve a new, expanded contract with the firm to provide the technologies to the San Jose Police Department. The city extended the existing contract, portions of which were set to expire in December, through June 2031. The decision also increases the city's payments to Axon over a five-year period beginning July 2026 by about $9.3 million to a total estimated cost of $17.4 million.

Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali is effectively contracted to the club until 2030 after it was revealed the midfielder signed an extension during his 10-month suspension for gambling offences. Tonali joined Newcastle from AC Milan in July 2023 on a five-year contract, but saw his first season prematurely ended when his ban was handed down in October. According to multiple reports, the Italy international then approached the club about taking a pay cut.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave doesn't look at social media too often, but it doesn't mean he doesn't see things. Trade rumors about him and running back Alvin Kamara were "all over the internet," he acknowledged last week. Olave said he understands his name will be floated out there as the trade deadline approaches on Nov. 4 due to the Saints' struggles and 1-6 record.

Rogers' rise at Aston Villa has been nothing short of remarkable. Signed for an initial 8 million, potentially rising to 15 million, the Englishman has become a key part of Unai Emery's fluid attacking system, often operating on the left wing or as an inside forward. Earlier reports even suggested that Chelsea were considering a blockbuster 80 million bid for Rogers.

No matter how many suitors line up for Crosby's services, it sounds like the Raiders refuse to budge. Perhaps best of all for the franchise, Pelissero notes that Crosby wants to stick with the Raiders. While the edge rusher has a strong desire to win, he wants that to happen in Las Vegas. Of course, the player previously showed his commitment to the franchise when he inked a three-year, $106.5MM extension this past offseason.

Luka Modric is continuing to show that age is just a number after a series of inspiring performances for Milan, including in Sunday night's 2-1 victory over Fiorentina, and now, it looks like the option to extend the Croatian's one-year contract is nothing but good news for the Rossoneri. Modric, who turned 40 in September, was a key player in Milan's 2-1 win over Fiorentina, leading the midfield, showing great vision and a spirit of sacrifice. The Rossoneri veteran won the ball back, controlled the space, and inspired his younger teammates, as he has done all season.

Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun has agreed to a five-year, $125 million rookie contract extension with the franchise, agent Bill Duffy of WME Basketball told ESPN on Monday. Braun, the No. 21 pick in the 2022 NBA draft, has been a developmental find and success for the Nuggets brass. The Nuggets' top executives, Ben Tenzer and Jon Wallace, made it a priority to negotiate a new long-term deal to lock in Braun as part of the franchise's core moving forward.

There is no denying it. 2025 is the year of Jake Ferguson. The Dallas Cowboys gave their tight end an extension while back in training camp this summer and look like absolute geniuses for doing so. Ferguson is having the best season of his career to date and Sunday's win against Washington was a great example as he hauled in two touchdowns.

Barcelona have confirmed that young prospect Landry Farré has signed a new contract with the club until 2028. The 18-year-old is widely considered to be one of the best defenders coming through the ranks at present and has now committed his future to the Catalan giants. "FC Barcelona and player Landry Farré have reached an agreement to extend the defender's contract for two more seasons, so he will remain linked to the Club until June 30, 2028."

Right after the extension news, I noted that while the cost seems high for what many consider to be a mid-tier center, it was a ' necessary evil' since Toronto's stats show they struggle whenever Poeltl is out. Last season, Toronto went 9-16 in games without Jakob Poeltl, and I vividly remember two matchups against the Memphis Grizzlies where the Raptors were absolutely obliterated, thanks in large part to monster performances by rookie Zach Edey.
