Good morning, my Sports buddies! It’s Davey Mac here back with another Report to get your day started! We’ve got the baseball! The football! The basketball! And the hockey! Let’s do it!
But first…we have some breaking hot stove news with the Yankees…they’ve made their big free agent signing…and they’re bringing back to the team…Anthony Rizzo. The first baseman signed a two-year contract with the Yanks with a third-year option.
So while no news on the Aaron Judge front…there is some good news with this story.

It’s been reported that Rizzo has become a very close friend of Judge’s…and so with Rizzo re-signing…could this be a sign that Judge is coming back? Perhaps Rizzo has the inside scoop on whether his pal Aaron Judge is returning!

Listen…with the way Yankee General Manager Brian Cashman and Yankee owner Hal Steinbrenner have messed this Judge negotiation up…I need to desperately cling to any ray of sunshine that I can get! To me…this Rizzo re-signing signals that Judge IS returning! I HAVE to believe that! It’s all I got! I’m Davey Mac and that’s my two cents!

It is the 4th Manager of the Year award for Showalter with his 4th different franchise (he also won with the Yankees, Rangers, and Orioles).

Knicks Beat Jazz
The Knicks grabbed a win to begin their road trip last night as the Knicks beat the Jazz in Utah…118 to 111. The Knicks’ Jalen Brunson had another great game…scoring 25 points, getting 8 assists, and making some huge buckets down the stretch. The Knicks get back to .500 at 7 and 7. They’re in action again tonight as the Knicks go to Denver to take on the Nuggets.

Rodgers Says Fields Need To Go To Grass
Aaron Rodgers of the Packers says he thinks every field in the NFL should go to grass out of player safety…but he doesn’t have confidence in the league to change. “I don’t have a lot of confidence when it comes to the league making that decision without some sort of big vote and gripes from certain owners who don’t want to spend the money.”
