Carlos Lagrange, Ben Hess will join Yankees at big league spring training
NY Post
Two of the Yankees’ top pitching prospects will be at major league spring training for the first time, the team announced Thursday.
Both Carlos Lagrange and Ben Hess were among the non-roster invitations, with Lagrange known for hitting 103 MPH in a game last season, most of which was spent at Double-A Somerset.
The 22-year-old Lagrange is seen as someone who could make an impact in The Bronx, perhaps as early as this year.
Hess, 23, reached Double-A last year, his first season in the pros after being selected in the first round by the Yankees in 2024 out of the University of Alabama.
George Lombard Jr., considered by some to be the organization’s best overall prospect, got his second invitation to big league camp.
The 20-year-old also played primarily with Somerset in 2025 and is already seen as an elite defensive shortstop.
Travis Kelce didn’t look far for inspiration when he pondered a return for a 14th NFL season.
LOS ANGELES — A day earlier, coach Mike Brown made an impassioned plea to his players to take care of the ball.
The Dolphins thanked Tua for his service and welcomed Willis.
PHILADELPHIA — Wins like this have been a rarity for the Rangers as of late.
TAMPA — There are players who overhaul mechanics during an offseason or spring training and then cram in every at-bat or inning they can, determined to feel comfortable before the games actually matter.
Daniel Jones received $40 million per season with the Giants.
If you like a sure thing and are uncomfortable with surprises or simply not knowing, what comes next might not be for you.
Most of the words Chris Drury said in July about defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov centered around the defensive side of the $49 million defenseman’s game. The Rangers president and general manager wanted to be better in front of their goaltenders. He wanted improved coverage in high-danger areas. And Gavrikov, inked to a seven-year deal at the start of free agency that month to pair with Adam Fox, possessed “qualities of an elite shutdown guy.”
PORT ST. LUCIE — The power has always been there for Ryan Weathers.
LOS ANGELES — Desperately searching for offense, the Knicks dusted off little-used guard Jordan Clarkson on Sunday.
LOS ANGELES — You may have noticed the recent shift in Jalen Brunson’s stat lines. It’s rather dramatic.
With about five weeks left in the NBA’s regular season, we have a pretty clear picture of the contenders for the Larry O’Brien Trophy.
The Eagles are keeping a core piece of the defense for the future.
