Let’s establish some disclaimers before we dive into today’s topic, the 2022 Fantasy Baseball Fade List. The goal is to outline good players who I’m still unlikely to roster often, if at all, in 2022. This doesn’t make these players untalented; it’s just pointless to give you a collection of fades with lagging ADPs. There’s no utility in that. Most fantasy analysts will tell you it’s usually about the acquisition cost, not about the player. If you can land some of these names well… Source link

Smith posted a 6-under 66 in his final round in a rare Monday finish on the PGA Tour to win The Players Championship, marking his biggest win to date and his second so far this season. Smith took home $3.6 million with the win, which was part of a $20 million purse for the tournament — the largest in the history of the Tour. “It’s unreal. A long,… Source link

The Mid-American Conference announced on Saturday that four Kent State players had been suspended for taking part in a profane Snapchat video aimed at Akron, their opponent in the MAC Tournament final on Saturday night. Kent State would go on to lose 75-55 to the Zips, a bitter what-if for a program that was on the verge of its first NCAA Tournament berth since 2017. DJ Johnson, Malique Jacobs, Cli’Ron Hornbeak and Julius Rollins were all suspended for varying lengths of time for posting… Source link

NEW YORK — MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, say what you will about him, understands labor negotiations. Labor relations, less so — a fact that’s so hard to deny, he doesn’t even bother trying. But the part where you extract as much and surrender as little as possible through ruthlessness and savvy? Well, we wouldn’t have been in this mess if he was worse at it. And so when he offers insights into the inner workings, they’re worth taking seriously. After the latest, and longest in a… Source link

After all that, there will be a 2022 baseball season. And while some things will look different — more on that in a minute — the most important things will look the same. Three outs, 30 teams, one trophy, six months and — this is the big one — 162 games. Nine days after commissioner Rob Manfred canceled opening day and over three months into an owner-implemented lockout, Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association agreed to a new labor contract Thursday afternoon in New York… Source link

The Biden administration on Wednesday issued a long-awaited executive order to comprehensively study cryptocurrencies, effectively firing the starting pistol for Congress and other federal agencies to begin crafting oversight of digital tokens. The blueprint, arriving at a time when markets are being roiled by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which has spilled over into crypto, was mostly hailed by industry players who have been nervous about the government’s moves to create a… Source link

(Photos via Getty) With the Russian invasion of Ukraine surging on, many companies and countries are boycotting Russian goods or from taking place in the nation. One Hockey Hall of Famer wants that practice taken to the next level and called for the NHL to suspend all contracts of Russian players.

Last month, when the U.S. State Department began urging American citizens to leave Ukraine, Jerome Randle’s phone started buzzing incessantly. Friends and family in America would send Randle media reports detailing Russia’s extraordinary military buildup along its border with Ukraine. They then begged the Chicago native to pack up his belongings and return home before it was too late. “At least 50 people must have hit me up,” Randle, 34, told Yahoo Sports. “They were all saying,… Source link
