Following up last week's Part 1 of potential Rangers first round picks at #23, there are five more names that are intriguing for the Rangers at this spot.Assuming the Rangers keep this pick, they will likely get a solid prospect with a high ceiling, most likely three years away from being a legitimate NHL option.

The 2022-23 Stanley Cup champions are the Vegas Golden Knights, clinching the prize on home ice in Game 5.The top seed in the West defeated the eighth seed in the East, the Florida Panthers.Dom just posted Bits late yesterday afternoon, and unfortunately for us, there have been no new New York Islanders articles posted anywhere valuable since then.

Red Sox "To be able to just impact the team with my bat is something I feel like I can do."After going under the knife for an elbow procedure in January, Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.The 30-year-old infielder was on-site at Fenway Park on Monday as part of his ongoing rehab process, and took part in 120-foot throws in the infield.

BOSTON - The Red Sox have been nailed by the injury bug all across the diamond throughout the first half of the season, subjecting the team to quickly adapt in order to keep themselves on track.Most recently, Boston was cornered to make a plethora of bullpen moves, placing left-hander Joely Rodríguez on the 15-day injured list and optioning Ryan Sherriff to Triple-A Worcester while recalling Kaleb Ort and Brennan Bernardino as corresponding roster recalls.

Red Sox right fielder Alex Verdugo is hoping to achieve a Major League Baseball career first this season.Verdugo, who broke into the big leagues with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2017 before a trade to Boston in 2020, failed to earn an All-Star nod in any of his first six seasons.But as the calendar flips to June, the 27-year-old is in the conversation for a trip to this year's Mid-Summer Classic in Seattle.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have not been very nice to Sheldon Keefe, letting him twist in the wind for weeks now.The Toronto Maple Leafs might keep him on after hiring Brad Treliving, but they shouldn't.Keefe has shown that he makes terrible lineups and that doesn't do anything to give the team an edge.

Maddie Meyer/Getty Images Jaylen Brown's forgettable showing in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals may have little bearing on his future with the Boston Celtics.ESPN's Brian Windhorst reported at the 16:57 mark of his Hoop Collective podcast he believes Brown, who's eligible for free agency in 2024, will re-sign when the moment comes.

The RaptorsHQ's Draft Watch is back, and we're here to foolishly figure out who the Raptors' front office will select 13th overall in the next few weeks.This task is a tall order, as President Masai Ujiri and GM Bobby Webster's tandem is putting everyone on a wild goose chase as to who's really in the running to replace Nick Nurse as the new Raptors head coach.

Hallelujah, they're finally paying attention.After years of inexplicably being ignored by voters for the NBA's All-Defensive team, O.G. Anunoby - one of the most effective, dogged, and versatile defenders in the league - was finally selected for the league's All-Defensive second team.Anunoby started the year on a defensive tear, right from opening night, when he grabbed three steals; that set the tone for his season, where he ended up with a league-high 128 thefts and led the league in steals per game (1.91), too.

A quick check on Clay Holmes numbers would tell you that he has been lights-out this year, with a 2.84 ERA, a 2.41 FIP, a 53.1 percent groundball rate, and 11.37 strikeouts per each nine innings in 25.1 frames.However, if you have followed the Yankees this season, you probably know that he has been inconsistent.

Jodie Burrage has the British number one ranking and a top-100 place in her sights as she looks to write a positive narrative this grass-court season.Bone stress in her arm forced the 24-year-old to miss her chance to qualify last month for the French Open, where no British women were in the main draw for the first time since 2008.

After a lot of hype from game makers in 2021, big publishers have been relatively quiet on the idea of integrating non-fungible tokens into their games since the collapse of Ubisoft's "Quartz Digits" platform last year.But EA Sports this week is proving the game industry hasn't completely abandoned the blockchain-based collectible technology, announcing a partnership with Nike's ".Swoosh" NFT platform to let players "express their personal style through play."

New offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy is coming into an environment where his Washington offense has plenty of untapped potential within some of his top playmakers.The turnover that the Kansas City Chiefs saw at the receiver position last offseason didn't alter their run-pass ratio, but it provided Bieniemy and head coach Andy Reid a challenge in creating different mismatches.

Manchester City hold all the cards in their hands as the draw at Real Madrid leaves the second leg at The Etihad as the deciding factor.Pep Guardiola will be wise to change a few things, not radically, but to give his side a really good chance to win.Let's talk two things they can add:

Ahead of an expected White House bid in the coming days, Florida Gov.

Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida on Monday offered a new rationale to Republicans for why he should be president, saying he could fortify the Supreme Court's conservative majority during a potential eight years in office.You would have a 7-2 conservative majority on the Supreme Court that would last a quarter-century, Mr. DeSantis said during an address to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Orlando.

Aaron Rodgers spent an entire interview blasting the Packers but Green Back OT David Bakhtiari appeared to shade his former QB as a response.While Aaron Rodgers is on to his NFL rebound, the New York Jets, it appears he might still be having a bit of trouble getting over his ex.That ex, of course, is the Green Bay Packers, the team that drafted him and that the quarterback led to a Super Bowl and nearly two decades worth of immense success.

Celtics Brian Windhorst expects Jaylen Brown to remain a Boston Celtic.Jaylen Brown has one year left on his deal with the Celtics and is eligible to sign a supermax extension next summer if it is offered to him.But, after an atrocious performance during the Eastern Conference Finals, there are questions about whether Boston should offer him that kind of money.

The Boston Celtics are on the verge of history, and oddsmakers think they'll finish the job in Game 7 against the Miami Heat on Monday.Boston is an eight-point favorite in that game, but more importantly, the Celtics' odds to win the NBA Finals are continuing to skyrocket with each win.Entering Game 6, the Celtics were +280 to win the NBA Finals, which was still ahead of Miami (+550 at the time).

The Nats are real... ly mediocre!That's the first takeaway getting to Memorial Day and 1/3* of the way through the season.Reading a season can be hard because we want to put weight on the more recent games but that's not how a season works.The first 18 games count just as much as the next 18 as much as the next 18.

Francisco Lindor hit a a bases-clearing single in the sixth inning that proved decisive in the Mets' 3-2 win over the Nationals.(Jonathan Newton/The Washington Post)A list of things the Washington Nationals did Friday night, in a 3-2 loss to the New York Mets, that it would have been harder to imagine them doing in 2022:

Last year Giants quarterback Daniel Jones had the best season of his career while the Jets' quarterback situation was a mess.But this year, Jones is not the No. 1 quarterback in New York.Jones is fine with that.Asked this week whether the arrival of Aaron Rodgers means Jones has been relegated to the role of New York's "other" quarterback, Jones said it's not a concern of his.
