All of a sudden, one of the Dolphins' biggest weaknesses entering the season, cornerback, isn't a big weakness any longer. It's an interesting phenomenon, a curious turn of events. This trio of castoff and no-name cornerbacks - Jack Jones, Rasul Douglas and Cornell Armstrong - has emerged as a reliable crew, something that was on display in Monday's 27-21 win over the New York Jets.

1913 The White Sox purchased the contract of a future Hall-of-Famer, pitcher Urban "Red" Faber, from Des Moines for $3,500. Faber would go on to win 254 games, with four seasons of 20 or more wins with Chicago. In the 1917 World Series win over the Giants Faber went 3-1, throwing 27 innings, with two complete games and a 2.33 ERA.

Some transactions result in meteoric success, like the Thunder and Celtics acquiring players like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jayson Tatum through trades.

In 2012, the Braves faced the Giants, with both teams scoring only one run in the first nine innings but the Giants overpowering Atlanta with a final score of 9-4.

While even the most optimistic Heat fans wouldn't put this roster up against the NBA's best, that's not necessarily required to escape the East.

Ingram didn't play a single game for the Raptors this season but what he brings on the floor for a team that is starved of offensive creation is unquestionable. He is a potent mid-range scorer, a proficient pick-and-roll ballhandler, a solid catch-and-shoot player, and can play well off of Scottie Barnes, similar to how Pascal Siakam did.

The Bulldogs secured a trio of talented transfers, aiming to strengthen their roster after a playoff exit, with notable additions in key positions.

The Yankees made pivotal roster moves this season, successfully acquiring players like Paul Goldschmidt and Max Fried who significantly improved team performance.
