As he remains stuck on zero league goals for the season, doubts about Santiago Gimenez's AC Milan future continue to swirl. Gimenez only arrived at Milan in January in a deal worth over €30m from Feyenoord, but he has so far not shown enough to suggest that he can be the long-term striker that the club have been searching a long time for.
"Dear football, I bid you farewell, I have decided to call it a day. "It wasn't an easy decision to make. Neither is it writing this. I keep re-reading these words. Maybe it's a way of accepting it a little more. "I've found some peace now, but it took me a while to make this decision. It all started in July after a visit to a specialist: 'Mattia, you no longer have any cartilage in your ankle.
The Cubs are in the market for notable rotation upgrades this offseason, and right-hander Michael King is among the names on their radar, per Patrick Mooney and Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic.

Bilal Couliably entered the season with high hopes and growing expectations from a fanbase who's patiently waited for a player to step up and prove to be the team's future. Looking at the Washington Wizards history with NBA Draft prospects, any minor inconvenience sends a scare through a fanbase, who's constantly been dealt a bad hand of luck over the last few years.
On the season Luke appeared in 91 games for the Stripers and hit a very respectable .272/.364/.340 in those games good for a 98 wRC+. With offense not really being his calling card, being able to tune in with a solid line while providing solid defense up the middle, Luke gave the Braves organization really good value despite the injury struggles. He rarely struck out (12% K%), walked at a good rate (12%), and found his MaxEV all the way up to 109 MPH.
The first day of qualifiers went off with a bang, with Nora Beck hucking backflips off the purple pole-jam while Mae Morelli landed the first butter-pad-to-down-rail transfer - a line many would chase, some successfully, others with heavy slams... This year's course ditched the hip feature at the bottom. A shame - we'd love to see it return, as it previously gave riders like Annika Morgan and Emma Crosby space to showcase style in the air as well as on steel.
Expectations were high for Fuentes in 2025 coming off a breakout 2024 with Augusta, where he pitched to a 2.74 ERA and 1.02 WHIP with 98 strikeouts over 75.2 innings as a 19-year-old.

He made just three starts with Rome, then five with Columbus, prior to his promotion to Gwinnett.

It was a cold November morning, and I had travelled with my family to our ancestral temple in a village in Tamil Nadu. My sister's 11-month-old baby was to be tonsured for the first time a religious head-shaving that in Hinduism is a way of discarding the evil eye and removing any negativity from past lives; a new start. My wife drove, but asked me to park the car while she went inside with our son and her parents.
