ST. LOUIS - After six seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, the last few marred by injuries, outfielder Tyler O'Neill is on the move. The Cardinals have agreed to trade O'Neill to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for two pitchers, Nick Robertson and Victor Santos.

Jonathan Drouin is comfortable, making impact at time when Avalanche need it

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:00:45 GMT

There aren’t many NHL players who have been as open about their mental health as Jonathan Drouin.The former phenom struggled to cope with meeting the great expectations that accompanied his return home to his native Montreal to play for his beloved Canadiens.When he arrived in Denver, it felt like a fresh start. So when the early part of this season didn’t go the way he had originally envisioned, Drouin was more prepared to handle the adversity than his younger self back in “la belle province.”“Way differently,” Drouin said when asked how he handled it. “… Me and Tuna (Tomas Tatar) got scratched that one day. You could take that so many bad ways. I think me and him took it the right way. We just put our heads down and went to work.“You look at Nate (MacKinnon), every day he does the same thing. He’s always working on stuff. Some games are good and some aren’t, but if you’re doing your work good stuff is going to happen.”The...

Task No. 1 for Broncos’ offensive front Sunday: Slow down Chargers pass-rusher Khalil Mack, who at 32 is “playing out of his mind”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:00:45 GMT

By most general metrics, the Los Angeles Chargers’ defense isn’t particularly daunting.It ranks No. 24 overall in estimated points added per play and is relatively balanced against the pass (No. 23) and against the run (No. 20).Brandon Staley’s defense, however, does two things really well: Win third down and get after opposing quarterbacks.Those two, of course, end up being related when teams are forced to throw the ball on third down.The Chargers are tied for third in the NFL with 41 sacks. Even in recent weeks without star defensive end Nick Bosa (on injured reserve with a foot injury), they’ve been able to generate heat. L.A. had two sacks against Baltimore on Nov. 27 and five last week in a 6-0 shutout win against New England.The driving force: Who else but veteran Khalil Mack. The 32-year-old is putting together one of the most productive years of his storied career, racking up 15 sacks through the Chargers’ first 12 games. He’s at 99.5 for his career, so the next one will tip...
