Making the playoffs is as common as putting the puck into the net. However, one year after winning the President's Trophy as the team with the most points at the end of the regular season, they would miss the playoffs. Everything went wrong and they could not find their game quickly enough to turn it around. Star players did not produce and teams above them did not hit any skids.

At the top of her list are tradespeople, including electricians, plumbers, and repair workers, who perform hands-on tasks in messy, real-world environments that machines still struggle to navigate. She also pointed to care jobs like nursing, primary school teaching, and nursery teaching as roles that heavily rely on empathy, judgment, and social connection - qualities that algorithms can't yet mimic.

Gray hit a tiebreaking solo drive off Tyler Alexander (5-14) in the seventh inning. It was Gray's third homer in 17 games since he was acquired in a July 26 trade with the White Sox for cash. Kevin Kelly (2-3) got one out for the win, and Pete Fairbanks handled the ninth for his 25th save in 30 opportunities. Tampa Bay returned to .500 with its 11th win in 16 games.

The Bulls enter 2025-26 coming off their fourth-straight play-in appearance and second-straight 39-win season. Their biggest move of the offseason was flipping Lonzo Ball for Isaac Okoro, which was more poor asset management on the Bulls' part after what was reportedly available at the deadline. Ball does have notable health concerns. But they sold low on an expiring contract to take on more guaranteed money not only in 2025-26, but the following season as well.

Doyle played with the Jays for four seasons, or, more accurately, two full seasons and two half seasons. As a Jay, he was 46-26 with a 3.56 ERA in 106 games and 103 starts. The Jays signed him as a free agent on June 21, 1983, about a month after the Yankees released him. When the Yankees let him go, he had a 0-2 record with a 6.35 ERA in 8 games. He was 1-7 the season before with a 6.08 ERA in 16 starts.

Just over a year later, the Pirates have completely flopped on this deal as not only did they fail to find a trade partner for IKF at this years deadline, they placed Kiner-Falefa on waivers and he was claimed by Toronto on Sunday afternoon according to multiple reports. The Toronto Blue Jays claimed utilityman Isiah Kiner-Falefa off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates, sources tell ESPN. Kiner-Falefa spent 2024 with the Blue Jays before being traded to the Pirates on July 30.- Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) August 31, 2025

Excitement is building ahead of the NFL season. The Washington Commanders look primed for another deep postseason run if everyone gets a clear run of luck on the health front. But for those in the front office and scouting department, attention is elsewhere. The college football campaign is officially underway. That means draft plans are already being formed behind the scenes as prospects increase or diminish their stock based on performances in a high-profile setting.

The NBA Draft was the least of the Raptors' worries during this time period, as the team was cashing in its chips in hopes of a championship. They made good on that promise, which was well worth punting on a couple of draft classes to achieve those heights. It does, however, make it harder to take a look back at these drafts after the Raptors were basically non-factors throughout the process.

"Bringing Aaliyah to the Connecticut Sun is more than just a roster move; it's a statement about where we're headed as a franchise," said Sun general manager Morgan Tuck. "Aaliyah is a transformational talent with the mindset and drive that aligns with our vision of building a championship culture. What truly sets her apart is the way she leads, connects, and competes. Aaliyah is the kind of person and player who can help redefine the future of this organization and we're ready to build that future together."

As trades have been made, both sides see repercussions that will impact future games. This uncertainty raises questions for fantasy players and their strategies.

The Rangers concluded Day 1 of the 2025 free agency with a significant trade, a major free agent signing, and the re-signing of a key player. They have revamped their blue line and mitigated offer sheet risks, alongside enhancing their AHL depth.
