Ten under with two holes left on the par-70 layout, Del Solar bogeyed the par-4 17th and parred the par-5 18th for a 9-under 61 and a share of the first-round lead with Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark.

'Jaw-Dropping' Photo Of Sophie Cunningham Has Everyone's Attention

'Jaw-Dropping' Photo Of Sophie Cunningham Has Everyone's Attention originally appeared on The Spun. Don't look now, but Sophie Cunningham is quickly becoming one of the most popular players in the WNBA. Advertisement Prior to the 2025 WNBA season, the Indiana Fever acquired Cunningham from the Phoenix Mercury in a four-team trade. It hasn't taken long for her to win over the fans in Indiana. Not only has she surpassed one million followers on TikTok, her Fever jersey is currently sold out online. Cunningham earned a lot of respect from WNBA fans this past Tuesday when she retaliated for a hard foul on Caitlin Clark. During the final minute of the Fever-Sun game, she pretty much pulled Jacy Sheldon to the ground on a fast break. She then got into a scuffle with Sheldon that spilled into the crowd. Sun head coach Rachid Meziane had an issue with Cunningham's foul on Sheldon, calling it a "stupid" and "disrespectful" play. "When you are winning a game by 17 points and you doing this stupid foul, this is just disrespectful," Meziane told reporters. "I don't know how Jacy and Lindsay [got] rejected from the game when they did nothing."

Advertisement On Thursday night, a Fever fan posted a photo of Cunningham on X along with this caption "Our bodyguard." In less than 24 hours, this photo of Cunningham received over five million views. At this point, Cunningham has cemented herself as the most popular player on the Fever outside of Caitlin Clark. We'll see if Cunningham can keep this hype train alive heading into Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Aces. Cunningham is averaging 6.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game for the Fever. She's been a solid contributor off the bench for Stephanie White's squad.

Yankees Predicted To Trade For $66 Million Infielder After Ugly Loss

Yankees Predicted To Trade For $66 Million Infielder After Ugly Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Yankees lost their fourth straight game on Monday and were shut out for the second straight night as they fell 1-0 to the lowly Los Angeles Angels in 11 innings. Advertisement In what has been deemed one of the worst losses of the Aaron Judge era, the Yankees failed to plate a run in the 9th, 10th, and 11th inning despite having a runner on second and no outs in each of them. Worse, in the 9th and 10th innings, they needed just one run to win before Jonathan Loaisiga allowed a go-ahead seeing-eye double to Nolan Schanuel. Amid yet another June Yankees collapse, the trade rumors are once again hot. ESPN's Buster Olney linked the Yankees to Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez, who has a scorching .527 slugging percentage and .834 OPS. Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio SuárezMatt Kartozian-Imagn Images The Yankees' current fix at third base has been Jazz Chisholm Jr, though he remains out of position. A turning point in Monday's loss was when second baseman DJ LeMahieu failed to get a bunt down in the 10th to move over Austin Wells. Advertisement LeMahieu has been better as of late, but a trade for Suárez would push Chisholm back to second base. That'd allow a natural third baseman to man the hot corner, and it'd mean fewer reps for LeMahieu, who has seen his power evaporate due to continual lower-body injuries. A possible drawback of this trade is a belief that the Yankees have been too focused on hitting for power and might not need another guy like Suárez, whose .307 on-base percentage is only 13th among qualified third basemen. The Yankees could benefit instead from targeting prolific contact bats like Brendan Donovan, whose .381 on-base percentage is first among second basemen and ninth in the National League. If Suárez becomes available, though, his price tag won't be all that steep, as he's a free agent after 2025, which means the D'backs would rather get a few mid-level prospects instead of letting him walk for free.

Mariners Trade Idea Swaps Cal Raleigh's Backup For Former 31-Home-Run Infielder

Mariners Trade Idea Swaps Cal Raleigh's Backup For Former 31-Home-Run Infielder originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh is having a monumental season, with 26 home runs already in June. Raleigh is on pace for over 60 home runs, which would shatter Salvador Perez's record for a catcher of 48 in 2021. Advertisement On the farm, Mariners No. 5 prospect Harry Ford, also a catcher, is having a resurgence, with a .922 OPS and .315 average. Ford's MLB trajectory is blocked by Raleigh's success, and one MLB insider has the Mariners, who have Raleigh surrounded by several slumping hitters, dealing Ford for a slugger across the league. Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh (29)© Stephen Brashear-Imagn Images Former general manager Jim Bowden identified Diamondbacks first baseman Josh Naylor as a suitable trade target for Seattle, with Bowden saying that just offering Ford alone could get it done. A Naylor-Ford swap would be advantageous for both sides. Arizona would receive baseball's eighth best catching prospect for Naylor, who is a free agent after the 2025 season, while Seattle receives a resurgent first baseman who would start over Rowdy Tellez. Advertisement Buzz around the Mariners seeking an offensive acquisition reached its peak when Raleigh totaled 10 homers and 20 RBIs in a 15-game stretch where Seattle went just 4-11. Aside from Raleigh, in that span, no Mariners hitter had more than one home run or five RBIs. The Mariners clearly are in desperate need of other bats while they wait on Colt Emerson to crack the big leagues likely next year. In this trade idea, the D'backs part ways with an impending free agent while getting a major-league ready catcher to compete with Gabriel Moreno later this year or at the start of next year.
