In a vacuum, AD is the type of superstar that would appeal to the Heat. He's also one who would be a particularly intriguing fit next to Bam Adebayo in the frontcourt. There's no guarantee he'd be a player on the team's radar, but you'd have to assume there have, at the very least, been conversations inside the front office about the possibility.

The blueliner was placed on IR, Jacob Quillan, who's had a hot start for the Marlies, was recalled. On Carlo, just get right. If that means missing some time, so be it. He's had a rough start, so perhaps some time away for a reset could do wonders for his overall game. The blue line depth is being tested severely, but honestly, this could prove to be a blessing in disguise. It's not like anyone on the backend's playing particularly well right now anyway.

Peralta, 29, may not be on the same level of star power as someone like Burnes but he's still an exciting pitcher in his own right. Since joining Milwaukee's rotation full time in 2021, Peralta has been among the game's most reliable starters with a 3.30 ERA and 3.65 FIP across 738 1/3 innings of work. He's struck out an impressive 29.6% of his opponents in that time while walking 9.0%,

He was one of the best guys at seeing pitches and working counts and it's one of the reasons why we went out and traded for him, Brown told reporters at the GM Meetings on Wednesday (link via Matt Kawahara of The Houston Chronicle). We need that value in our lineup. It's the exact direction we're trying to take it. We feel like if we trade him it would be weakening our lineup. So right now, we have no interest in trading him.

At this week's GM Meetings, Krall again downplayed the idea of trading a starting pitcher and was a bit more forceful with regard to Greene in particular ( link via Gordon Wittenmyer of the Cincinnati Enquirer). Krall still declined to speak in absolutes but came close when speaking about the possibility of trading Greene, specifically: "...[T]hat's a hard one to actually say, 'Hey, we're going to trade the guy that has a chance to be the ace of your staff and top-of-the-rotation guy going into the postseason.' We're looking to figure out how to get better, but right now that's not on the table."

Tippett played his junior hockey in Mississauga, and has turned himself into a consistent 20-goal scorer, who isn't afraid to use his body to make an impact on the game. He has landed 115, 148, and 125 hits the past three seasons, and could give the Maple Leafs a nice mix of speed, skill, and determination among their top six. So far this season, the former 2017 first-round pick has scored five goals in 13 games, and is on pace for his first 30-goal season.

Jayden Daniels became the No. 2 overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft after a sensational campaign at LSU, during which his stock soared en route to winning the Heisman Trophy. The Washington Commanders recognized his special gifts, and he completely shifted the franchise's direction during a rookie campaign for the ages. Daniels also made strong connections with his former Tigers teammates. Malik Nabers developed a close friendship with the signal-caller, although they are now friendly rivals after he was drafted by the New York Giants. Another was Brian Thomas Jr., who is finding life difficult with the Jacksonville Jaguars this time around despite going over 1,200 receiving yards in Year 1 of his professional career.

The World Series starts tonight, but for Cubs fans, it's merely an impediment between this chilly Midwest morning and the official start of hot stove season. Most of us would love a sweep, though few outside of Los Angeles will root for the Dodgers as a prohibitive favorite. I can't help but dream of the time that Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. were linked to the Cubs in trade rumors. Oh, what might have been!

Since the Islanders can't give up on their franchise goalie, something had to give. That something was Greco. Sports clubs are run just like corporations. Typically, high-level executives fire mid-level managers to light a fire under teams. The rationale lies in the following: It's easier to replace one person than the entire team. In some instances, highly talented, productive employees stagnate when their managers just don't jive with them anymore. That situation often necessitates a switch that could push the reset button for employees.

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.

A promising forward and added depth to a team going through a rebuild and looking to eventually rely on their young group they have been developing for a few seasons now. Reichel has now played 172 games as a Blackhawk and has put up a total of 57 points in his career thus far, but has showed a lot of good developments in his own game and has proven a lot of skill within it.

The stud right guard has been sorely missed since tearing his ACL. Cosmi has some additional markers to hit, but all signs point to his return to the starting lineup sooner rather than later. That's going to shift the offensive line's dynamic entirely, and one player could suffer more than most. Nick Allegretti initially got the nod to replace Cosmi this season. It did not go well, and the coaching staff sent him to the bench in favor of Andrew Wylie after just two games. When the former Texas star gets the all-clear to participate on game days, he'll be pushed even further down the pecking order.

I'm not going to speculate on any individual player,

Nolan Arenado is back in the Cardinals' lineup after a six-week shoulder injury. He has started at third base each of the past two nights. He'll probably be in the lineup for most or all of the final 10 games of the season, but the real source of intrigue will turn up again in the offseason. Arenado is under contract for two more seasons. He's slated for a $27MM salary next year.

There's a lot of narratives out there. I don't think a lot of those have come from me. This is where I want to be, I love it here,

Terry Rozier is tied to a federal gambling probe and had a disappointing season, averaging 10.6 points, impacting his trade value.

Nick Robertson, the Toronto Maple Leafs' prospect, is under scrutiny as debates arise regarding his potential development into a top-six winger versus remaining a bottom-six player.
