Oakland Raiders wide receiver Martavis Bryant (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Week 13 against the Chiefs.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoNationals Pursuing Extension For Anthony Rendon
Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said he expects to continue pursuing an extension for third baseman Anthony Rendon.

The Miami Dolphins signed tight end Nick O'Leary to a one-year contract extension on Saturday. O'Leary was a sixth-round pick of the Bills in 2015. He has seven catches on eight targets for 77 yards and a touchdown with Miami this year and isn't a fantasy option behind tight end Mike Gesicki.

Keith Hernandez 6 years agoBlake Parker Becomes Free Agent
The Los Angeles Angels non-tendered closer Blake Parker on Friday, making him a free agent, according to a source. Parker had a nice 3.26 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 14 saves and 70 strikeouts in 66 1/3 innings, so he should be scooped up rather quickly by a team looking for relief help. However, the right-hander won't […]
Keith Hernandez 6 years agoC.J. Cron To Make $4.8 Million In 2019
The Minnesota Twins avoided salary arbitration with first baseman C.J. Cron on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $4.8 million deal.

Saladino is merely a utility infielder for the Brew Crew after hitting .246/.299/.397 with five home runs and 16 RBI in 126 at-bats in 2018.
