Phillies Predicted to Cut Ties With Mick Abel After Aaron Nola News
Phillies Predicted to Cut Ties With Mick Abel After Aaron Nola News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Philadelphia Phillies have been fortunate that right-hander Mick Abel has thrown the baseball at the level he has throughout the first few starts of his big league career. Advertisement In his 20.1 innings, the 23-year-old has posted a 2.21 ERA and has struck out 17 hitters. Abel, an Oregon native, has looked the part. However, he realistically only had a chance because of Aaron Nola's injury. If Nola doesn't return to the level that the Phillies are hoping for, or they get bad news on his injury front, it's possible that Abel could still be on the team in the coming months. However, if Andrew Painter comes up when he's expected to, which could be sometime in July, and Nola is healthy, it's tough to find a place for Abel in the rotation. That's why The Athletic recently predicted that they'd cut ties with him, adding that Abel will likely be the Phillies' best trade chip.

A lot of it will depend on Aaron Nola's progress from his various injuries. If the Phillies have doubts about his ability to contribute in August and September, it might compel them to keep Abel. But they know Andrew Painter is coming. And, while Abel has pitched well in the majors, I do think he represents their best trade chip,' they wrote. Advertisement There should be many teams interested in a young right-hander who has the stuff Abel does. He was once one of the top prospects in baseball and has proven why in the early stages of his big league career.

Jalen Green reportedly determined to improve upon playoff struggles, stay in Houston
Jalen Green continues to be a rumored possibility in trade talks for Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant, and he's coming off an underwhelming 2025 NBA playoffs with the Houston Rockets. Yet, entering his fifth professional season, it doesn't appear that the 23-year-old is looking for a fresh start. Instead, he wants to make amends in Houston. Advertisement Per Kelly Iko of The Athletic: Green, whose name has been connected to Durant and other stars in trade rumors, is determined to improve upon his playoff struggles and wants to stay in Houston, league sources say. Granted, until there is finality on the Durant front, there remains the possibility that 2024-25 was Green's swan song with the Rockets. But if Durant goes elsewhere, or if his trade package to Houston doesn't include Green, it appears both the Rockets and the 6-foot-6 guard are committed to giving things another go. During the 2024-25 regular season, Green was the leading scorer (21.0 points per game) on a Houston squad that finished with the No. 2 record (52-30) in the Western Conference. But in the playoffs versus Golden State, he was just the fourth-leading scorer (13.3 points), and his true-shooting percentage dipped from 54.4% in the regular season to 48.2% against the Warriors.

Sam Darnold makes eye-opening admission about how things ended with Vikings
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold reflected on his ending with the Minnesota Vikings. Speaking in a recent interview with The Athletic, Darnold admitted the offseason exit was 'tough to swallow,' acknowledging expectations and his own shortcomings down the stretch. Despite an impressive, overachieving regular season, the Vikings greatly underwhelmed in the playoffs, losing 27-9 to the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round. 'For lack of a better term, we laid an egg as an offense,' Darnold said. 'And I think, for me personally, that sucks. I felt like we were a really good team, but at the end of the day — and this is gonna sound a little pessimistic — but when you get to the end of it and you don't win the whole thing, you failed. 'I feel like I could have played way better, to be completely honest with you. I feel I didn't play up to my standard. I truly feel that way. I feel like if I would have just played better, I would've been able to give the team a chance.' Sam Darnold was a Pro Bowler last year. Getty Images Darnold, who signed a one-year, $10 million 'prove-it' deal in March 2024 with Minnesota, became the starter for a team expected to be one of the worst in the NFC and likely to turn to rookie first-rounder JJ McCarthy, who missed the season with an injury, at some point. Darnold put together career-highs with 4,319 passing yards, 35 touchdowns, a 102.5 passer rating and his first Pro Bowl selection. The Vikings surged to an impressive 14–3 record, with Darnold proving to be a steadying presence during the regular season, but lost 31-9 to the Lions in the final week to miss out on the division title. Sam Darnold led the Vikings to a 14-3 regular season. Getty Images The breakout led to a three-year deal with Seattle worth north of $100 million. 'I think without a doubt, he's got his best football ahead of him,' former Rams receiver and current Seahawk teammate Cooper Kupp told The Athletic. 'I love his competitiveness. He's not OK with things being just OK.' Darnold added, 'I learned a lot last season, from those two games especially. At the end of the day, you go through those experiences, you learn, and you get better. I try every single day to get better. That's it.'
