Red Sox Predicted to Replace Jarren Duran With Power Bat After Trade Rumors
Red Sox Predicted to Replace Jarren Duran With Power Bat After Trade Rumors originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Trade rumors have been flying about Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran. They have only ramped up since Rafael Devers was dealt to the San Francisco Giant, as the organization now appears to be heading towards a youth movement at the MLB Trade Deadline. Advertisement According to Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo, the Red Sox may have their replacement for Duran waiting in the draft at the 15th overall spot. That player? Auburn University's Ike Irish. Irish is a powerful left-handed bat who has proven ability at the plate against top-tier collegiate pitching in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). He stands 6'2", weighing 201 lbs. The junior out of Hudsonville, Michigan is the highest projected outfielder and catcher among both high school and collegiate prospects in Mayo and Callis' mock draft. "Boston can stick Irish in the outfield and let his athleticism and bat play," Callis and Mayo wrote. Auburn Tigers' Ike Irish (18) celebrates after hitting a double against the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils during the NCAA Regional Baseball Tournament at Plainsman Park in Auburn, Ala., on Friday May 30, Welsh / Advertiser / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images With 24 doubles in his freshman year, 14 home runs in his sophomore season and then 19 home runs in his junior campaign, Irish has the power and an approach at the plate that should translate well to the professional level. Advertisement His career batting average is .350, with a .435 on-base percentage. In 2024 he slugged a monster .710, with progression towards that number after each of his first two seasons. currently has Irish ranked as the 21st overall prospect in the draft, but once the College World Series concludes the rankings could be updated. The Red Sox could use a more polished bat out of the draft, and the college prospect could fill a need at a corner outfield position. The 2025 MLB Draft is being held on July 13 and 14.

Coastal Carolina coach calls out umps after College World Series ejection: ‘Grown man shooed me'
Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall didn't like the way umpires handled his ejection early in Game 2 of the College World Series, explaining that he shouldn't 'get shooed by another grown man.' Schnall was tossed in the bottom of the first inning of what eventually turned into an LSU win and its second College World Series title in three years with a 5-2 victory. First base coach Matt Schilling was also tossed from the game during the exchange as the two argued with the umpires – one of whom tripped and fell while trying to separate Schnall and umpire Angel Campos. Advertisement Coastal Carolina Chanticleers head coach Kevin Schnall (9) gets thrown out of the game arguing with the umpires during the game against the LSU Tigers during the first inning at Charles Schwab Field. IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect 'I'm 48 years old. I shouldn't get shooed by another grown man. When I walk out to find out what the warning is, a grown man shooed me. At that point I can now hear him say, 'It was a warning issued for arguing balls and strikes.' At that point I said, 'Because you missed three.' At that point, ejected,' Schnall said after the game. 'If that warrants an ejection, I'm the first one to stand here like a man and apologize. Two words that define our program are 'own it.' And what does that mean? It means you have to own everything that you do without blame, without defending yourself, without excuses.' Advertisement Schilling and Schnall received three and two-game suspensions, respectively, which the Coastal Carolina coach contended was the result of the umpire being embarrassed that he had fallen. 'If you guys watch the video, there was a guy that came in extremely aggressively, tripped over Campos' foot, embarrassed in front of 25,000 [fans], immediately goes two games suspension and said, 'bumping the umpire.' Immediately does that. There was no bump. He was embarrassed. I shouldn't be held accountable for a grown man's athleticism,' Schnall continued.

But if that warranted an ejection, man, there would be a lot of ejections. As an umpire, I feel like it's your job to manage the game, the national championship game, with some poise, some calmness and a little bit of tolerance.' The LSU Tigers used a four-run fourth inning to propel themselves to another national championship.

Storm's Nneka Ogwumike, WNBA players union president, speaks out on CBA negotiations
SEATTLE (AP) — As president of the WNBA's players union, Seattle Storm forward Nneka Ogwumike has been asked time and again about the league's collective bargaining agreement discussions. The WNBA is bringing in more money than ever from sponsors and ticket sales, and will bring in much more from its 11-year media rights deal , worth around $200 million per year starting in 2026 — yet player salaries haven't increased drastically in recent years. In light of other players around the WNBA speaking out, Ogwumike addressed the matter of player salaries following the Storm's 89-79 win over the New York Liberty on Sunday . 'We have women out here who know the business. And we understand where our league has been and where it's going,' Ogwumike said. 'And, we're prepared. We're prepared. And we want to be able to come out here and represent ourselves and our value the same way we do on the court, in our contracts, in our facilities, in the standards of the resources that are available to us.' Ogwumike said the players union received a response from the league, which she considered a 'good' development. In October, WNBA players opted out of their collective bargaining agreement. The current CBA still covers the 2025 season. The next step from the union's standpoint is for contracts to be more representative of the league's growth. The current collective bargaining agreement was signed before the 2020 season. 'Everybody wants to go to the same place. Everyone just has a different idea of how we get there,' Ogwumike said. 'But it definitely starts with valuing the players in a way that makes sense for what we're doing out here, and also makes sense for the people that follow us and the fans that are supporting us. We've seen a lot of growth recently, so we have to see that being reflected in how we're compensated to continue to give you guys games like this every night.' Ogwumike added that she is looking forward to whatever meeting between the WNBPA and the league is to come over the next 25 days. In the past, other players have said they are willing to sit out games if negotiations don't lead to a pay structure they feel is fair. Ogwumike is grateful for the support the players union has already received ahead of and amid these negotiations. 'I'm appreciative to our player body, our player reps and the women that are speaking out about this,' Ogwumike said, 'and our board of advisors and PA staff and what they're doing for us to be able to get to a successful, collaborative negotiation with the league.' ___ AP WNBA:
