Paul Skenes won the MLB's Rookie of the Year award last season with ease. As the All-Star starting pitcher for the National League, his accomplishments were tough for rest of the field to match.
Skenes will be looking to make year number two as good as his debut in 2025, with the hype seeming to only grow, rather than fizzle out.
Ahead of his Saturday matinee spring training start against the Baltimore Orioles, Skenes was flooded with autograph requests from fans. Take a look at how many people were competing for his John Hancock:
It's no surprise that people want to get Skenes to put Sharpie down on their memorabilia. A 1-of-1 debut patch card just sold for seven figures to a shop that plans to put it on display for fans. It's been some time since a pitcher has come in and dominated straightaway as much as Skenes has. Whether for sale or just part of a personal collection, he has one of the most coveted signatures in MLB right now.
Skenes pitched 3.1 innings striking out four, walking one, and giving up just a hit against the O's on Saturday. Obviously, he is the Pirates' opening day starter.
Crystal Palace are now genuine contenders to sign Nathan Ake, with an eye-catching raid of Manchester City now being planned.
Palace’s interest in a new centre-back stems from Marc Guehi’s contract situation, with the England international now poised to leave on a free transfer upon the expiration of his current deal next summer, and there are plenty of clubs waiting in the wings.
Liverpool remain keen on the 25-year-old, having come close to getting a deal done on deadline day in the summer, but Arne Slot’s side may now be set to face competition from the likes of Real Madrid and Chelsea.
Steve Parish will, of course, be disappointed to have missed out on a transfer fee for the defender, unless he chooses to cash-in in January, although doing so could harm the Eagles in their quest to compete on all fronts, with the maiden European campaign likely to be of key importance.
Oliver Glasner’s side may not have to worry about bringing in a Guehi replacement until next summer, but they have already started identifying potential options, and Ake has now emerged as a target for the end of the season.
Crystal Palace genuine contenders to sign Ake
That is according to a report from TEAMtalk, which reveals Crystal Palace are now genuine contenders to sign the Man City defender, with their Premier League rivals giving serious consideration to cashing-in.
As such, the door could be open for Palace to get a deal done, with an eye-catching raid to sign the Dutchman being considered once again, having identified him as a target during the summer transfer window.
The Eagles are making sure they are prepared for Guehi’s departure, as it is considered almost a foregone conclusion that he will move on in the summer, with Bayern Munich named as one of the top clubs chasing the Englishman’s signature.
Once lauded as “incredible” by Man City manager Pep Guardiola, the centre-back has found game time hard to come by in the Premier League this season, often being benched or utilised as a substitute.
Crucially, the former AFC Bournemouth man is vastly experienced in the Premier League, having amassed 240 appearances in the competition, and he certainly knows what it takes to win, lifting 14 major honours in what has been a hugely successful career.
At 30-years-old, the City ace is likely to want to play regular first-team football, so it could make sense to seek pastures new in the summer, and there are signs he could be a solid replacement for Guehi.
The only negative is the fact the Netherlands international is over five years older than Guehi and set to turn 31 in February, which means he is unlikely to be a long-term replacement, although he should certainly have a few more years at the top level.

Palace are looking to sign a new centre-back, with Marc Guehi heading for the exit door.
انتقد أسامة حسني، لاعب الأهلي السابق، بعض المنتمين لنادي الزمالك الذين يبررون خسارة فريقهم في بطولة السوبر الأخيرة بعوامل خارجية، مؤكدًا أن النادي الأهلي يحقق نجاحاته بفضل رؤية واضحة ومنظومة عمل متكاملة.
وقال حسني في تصريحات عبر برنامج “اللعيب” على قناة MBC مصر: “هل فوز الأهلي ببطولة السوبر للعام الخامس على التوالي جاء بسبب التحكيم؟!، الأهلي توّج بالسوبر للمرة السادسة عشر في تاريخه، بينما فاز الزمالك بالبطولة أربع مرات فقط، فهل كانت جميع هذه البطولات بسبب التحكيم أيضًا؟ طالما سنظل نُعلّق النتائج على عوامل خارجية، فلن تتقدم خطوة واحدة إلى الأمام”.
وتابع: “لنعد خطوة إلى الوراء، حين تعاقد الأهلي مع المدرب خوسيه ريبيرو ولم يكن موفقًا، اعترف الجميع بالخطأ، ماذا فعل النادي؟ كان أمامه شهر أكتوبر وفترات توقف دولية في نوفمبر وديسمبر، فاستغل ذلك لتغيير المدرب مبكرًا، لأن النادي يمتلك رؤية مستقبلية واضحة، أجرى التغيير في التوقيت المناسب استعدادًا لفترة الانتقالات”.

وأضاف: “المدرب كولر حقق العديد من البطولات خلال ثلاث سنوات ورحل، ثم جاء بعده ريبيرو، وتولى عماد النحاس المهمة مؤقتًا وحقق نتائج جيدة، لكن الأهلي لم يُبقِ عليه لأنه كان واضحًا منذ البداية أن المهمة مؤقتة، فالنادي يعمل وفق خطة محددة”.
وواصل: “الأهلي لديه رؤية واضحة؛ فالفريق أمامه بطولة السوبر المصري وبطولة إفريقيا، وفي يناير ستكون هناك تدعيمات، ولذلك من الضروري أن يكون هناك مدير فني دائم لاتخاذ القرارات الفنية المناسبة والمشاركة في التخطيط للمستقبل”.
وأشار: “النادي الأهلي منظومة، الكابتن محمود الخطيب يشرف على كرة القدم في النادي، لكنه لا ينفرد بالقرار، فهناك الكابتن سيد عبد الحفيظ نائب المشرف، ولجنة تخطيط، ومدير رياضي، ومدير للكرة، وهيكل إداري كامل يشارك في اتخاذ القرار بما يخدم مصلحة النادي ورؤيته المستقبلية”.
واختتم: “لكن في نادي الزمالك، القرار في يد شخص واحد، وهذا لا يصح، الزمالك نادٍ كبير وله تاريخ وجماهيرية عريضة، لذلك يجب أن تصدر قراراته بعد دراسة من عدة جهات لضمان مصلحة النادي واستقراره”.
Manchester United supporters have become accustomed to incredible late drama over the years – with numerous moments producing incredible memories for the fanbase.
In recent history, Amad Diallo has produced his own late magic, doing so in one of the biggest games for the club – the Manchester Derby against Manchester City.
The Ivorian scored a 90th-minute winner against Pep Guardiola’s men at the Etihad last campaign, securing a 2-1 victory after trailing with just a handful of minutes remaining.
However, one of the most iconic late goals was scored by Ole Gunnar Solskjær against Bayern Munich in the Champions League final back in 1999.
Such a goal helped the Red Devils claim another major trophy, but most importantly secured the club a treble after previously winning the Premier League and FA Cup.
In the present day, Ruben Amorim has his very own clutch player who has continued to produce the goods within the latter stages of numerous crucial outings.
Ranking Harry Maguire’s most clutch moments for Man Utd
After forking out £80m for Harry Maguire’s signature in the summer of 2019, very few United fans would have predicted the impact that the centre-back would have in attacking areas.
In his six years at Old Trafford, the 32-year-old has racked up 17 goals for the Red Devils, finding the back of the net in every 14 matches he’s appeared in.
Numerous of his strikes have been late goals to secure the first-team vital results, with his third-most important effort coming against Norwich City in the FA Cup quarter-final back in 2020.
His 118th-minute winner secured the club a place in the semi-final, with such an effort the first time Maguire popped up and demonstrated his clutch ability in front of goal.
The centre-back also demonstrated his last-gasp antics in the Europa League last season – subsequently producing one of the most memorable games for the fans in recent history.
Maguire leapt highest at the back post in the 121st minute to secure a phenomenal late comeback against Lyon, resulting in a 7-6 aggregate win in the quarter-final.
However, despite his antics at Old Trafford back in April, the defender’s latest strike for the Red Devils is one that could help kickstart Amorim’s tenure in charge at the Theatre of Dreams.
The former Leicester City man scored an 84th-minute winner against bitter rivals Liverpool, subsequently securing the club’s first win at Anfield in 12 years.
Such a victory will certainly live long in the memories of all the supporters, with Maguire once again writing himself into the club’s history books forever.
The United star who’s becoming one of Amorim’s most clutch players
Maguire has managed to constantly produce the goods within attacking areas for United – but Amorim has desperately needed to address the options within the final third.
It’s all well and good having a defensive player popping up with key contributions, but the side have lacked the out-and-out presence to impress in front of goal.
His side could only muster a tally of 44 goals in their 38 league outings last season – with their measly average of 1.1 per 90 the fifth-lowest in the division.
As a result, the hierarchy handed the 40-year-old boss funds in excess of £200m to make the changes he desired to his first-team squad in Manchester.
One of the additions made by the board was that of forward Bryan Mbeumo, as he joined the Red Devils in a deal totalling £71m, including any future add-ons.
The Cameroonian arrived with huge expectations at Old Trafford and understandably so after he netted 20 league goals for Brentford last season – ending the year as one of only five players to hit such a milestone.
Since such a transfer, the 26-year-old has immediately captured the hearts of the fanbase with his impressive showings in recent weeks under Amorim’s guidance.
He’s already found the net on three occasions, with his latest strike coming in the first couple of minutes in the iconic triumph over Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
The strike has added to his league tally, with Mbeumo also scoring against Burnley at Old Trafford back in August – subsequently helping secure their first victory of the campaign.

As a result of his recent antics in the Red Devils first-team, one analyst has since labelled him as “one of the most clutch players” – often popping up in key moments when the side needs him most.
He currently sits joint-top of the club’s top goalscorer charts in the league, with his recent form showcasing that the board made the right call in forking out a pretty penny for his signature.
Mbeumo also ranks second for chances created in the top-flight in 2025/26, already providing an assist in the triumph over Sunderland – highlighting his complete nature in the final third.
Maguire’s antics as of late have certainly seen the Englishman receive a whole heap of praise, but some of which desperately needs to be directed to the Cameroonian.
The board took a huge risk with his addition this summer, but they have so far been proved right – with his ability potentially allowing the manager to create new history at Old Trafford.

Manchester United already have a player on the books who can emulate Bruno Fernandes at Old Trafford.

As principais dúvidas na escalação do Timão envolvem Bruno Méndez e Rojas. Ambos foram convocados por suas respectivas seleções durante a Data Fifa, mas não entraram em campo na terça-feira (12). Como a seleção paraguaia jogou na Venezuela, a logística deve impedir que Rojas esteja com a delegação alvinegra. Já o zagueiro uruguaio deve ser relacionado, mas começará no banco de reservas.
Sem Maycon, suspenso pelo cartão vermelho no empate com o Palmeiras, Ruan Oliveira, Giuliano e Fausto Vera disputam a posição do camisa 7. O meio-campo ainda corintiano deve contar com Gabriel Moscardo e Renato Augusto, que treinou normalmente durante a Data Fifa.

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma appears to be out of Thomas Frank’s long-term plans, or so we thought.
The 29-year-old really hasn’t made a great impression since Frank’s arrival at the club this summer, with Spurs’ new boss publicly damning Bissouma for his lateness to training and repeated disciplinary issues.
The former Brighton star is yet to make a single competitive appearance for Frank since he took charge, thanks partly to injury, but it spoke volumes about Bissouma’s situation when he was left out of Tottenham’s 22-man Champions League squad.
Now, if Bissouma remains in N17, he won’t be able to make a single European appearance until after the league phase, if Spurs even make it that far.
According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, Frank has been unimpressed with Bissouma behind-the-scenes, and the consensus is that Tottenham are prepared to sell the £100,000-per-week ace before his contract expires in 2026.
Other reports suggest that Tottenham could even let Bissouma leave on loan, potentially to get his wages off the books for a brief period before he eventually departs for free next year — if Spurs cannot find an outright buyer.
In any case, with the Turkish, Portuguese, Mexican and Saudi transfer windows still open, the Lilywhites still have an opportunity to offload Bissouma outside the UK window deadline.
Fenerbahçe were credited with a serious summer interest in the African, but a move failed to materialise. Galatasaray also held talks to sign Bissouma on loan with an obligation to buy, according to The Mail, and Spurs are believed to value him at around £20 million.
He played a key role in Tottenham’s route to victory in the Europa League final against Man United in May, even starting the full 90 minutes against Ruben Amorim’s side, but Frank’s stance on Bissouma is crystal clear in comparison to Ange Postecoglou.
Fabrizio Romano shares Yves Bissouma twist out of Tottenham
Now, Fabrizio Romano has shared an intriguing twist on his future, after the consistent reports of him being set for a move away.
According to the reliable journalist, speaking to GiveMeSport’s newsletter, Spurs actually aren’t looking to get rid of Bissouma right now after all, with the situation described as “quiet”.
The introduction of Frank has seriously altered Bissouma’s role in the squad, coming after the ex-Seagulls star shined at times under Postecoglou.
The now-Nottingham Forest boss and Bissouma enjoyed a close relationship, and the player even described him as a father figure. Elsewhere, Pape Sarr praised Bissouma for his influential role behind-the-scenes in 2024.
تحدث ريكو لويس، لاعب الفريق الأول لكرة القدم بنادي مانشستر سيتي عن فوز فريقه على فياريال ضمن منافسات دوري أبطال أوروبا.
وحقق مانشستر سيتي فوزًا مريحًا بثنائية نظيفة على فياريال في المباراة التي جمعتهما اليوم، الثلاثاء، ضمن منافسات الجولة الثالثة من مرحلة الدوري لبطولة دوري أبطال أوروبا.
وواجه مانشستر سيتي نظيره فياريال مساء اليوم الثلاثاء، في تمام الساعة العاشرة مساءً بتوقيت القاهرة ومكة المكرمة.
وأحرز هدفي فوز مانشستر سيتي على فياريال إيرلينج هالاند وبرناردو سيلفا، وقدموا أداءً رائعًا في المباراة بقيادة بيب جوارديولا.
وقال ريكو لويس، في تصريحات نقلتها “بي ببي سي سبورت”: “سيطرنا على معظم دقائق المباراة، هناك دائمًا ما هو أفضل مما يمكننا فعله ونعتقد أن بعض الفرص التي أتيحت لهم كان بإمكاننا منعها لكن علينا أن نكون واضحين مع أنفسنا، فنحن نريد الفوز بالبطولة، سعيد بالخروج بشباك نظيفة وتحقيق الفوز”.

وعن دوره في خط الوسط، قال: “أشعر دائمًا بالسعادة عندما ألعب في هذا المركز والمدرب يعلم ذلك، أعتقد أن هذا هو المكان الذي أؤثر فيه بشكل كبير على المباراة”.
وبشأن إيرلينج هالاند، صرح: “خارق ومذهل، اللعب معه في الفريق يساعدنا أكثر مما يتصور الناس، هو يسحب المدافعين لكي يخلق المساحات لباقي الفريق وهذا يُتيح له التسجيل، من المستحيل الدفاع أمامه، إنه مُجتهد للغاية ولا يتوقف عن المحاولة”.
وعن عودة مانشستر سيتي إلى أفضل مستوياته: “أعتقد أننا استعدنا بعض الثق، عندما تلعب بثقة لا شيء يوقفك سوى نفسك، الجميع يثق ببعضهم البعض، وليس هناك ما هو أفضل من دعم بعضنا البعض”.
وفيما يتعلق بأول فوز لمانشستر سيتي خارج أرضه في دوري أبطال أوروبا منذ أكثر من عام، قال: “لم أكن أعلم ذلك، كان المدرب يقول فقط إنه من المهم تحقيق فوز مبكرا خارج أرضنا، هذا يُخفف بعض الضغط ويضعنا في وضع جيد للمباراة التالية لكن علينا الفوز بها جميعًا سواءً على أرضنا أو خارجها”.
It is fair to say that Celtic and their recruitment team did not enjoy the deadline day that they were hoping for at the end of the summer transfer window on Monday night.
The Hoops went into Monday wanting two wingers and two centre-forwards to bolster their squad until at least January, but they were unable to get what they wanted.
Sebastian Tounekti joined the club on a permanent deal from Hammarby to add to Brendan Rodgers’ options in the wide areas, as a player who has predominantly played on the left wing in his career to date.
However, the Scottish Premiership champions did not add a single number nine to their squad before the window slammed shut, despite allowing Adam Idah to complete an initial £6m move to EFL Championship side Swansea City.
Adam Idah in pre-season for Celtic.
The Hoops were then forced to look at the free agent market to find a replacement for the Ireland international, and Kelechi Iheanacho arrived after his contract with Sevilla was ripped up on Monday night.
Celtic had to swoop for Iheanacho, who worked with Rodgers at Leicester, because they were unable to get a deal done for Kasper Dolberg before the deadline.
Why missing out on Dolberg was a blow for Celtic
The Scottish giants were linked with an interest in the Denmark international heading into the final days of the transfer window, but they failed to agree a deal with Anderlecht, and he went on to sign for Dutch side Ajax later in the week.
Reporter Stephen McGowan has since revealed that the transfer did not happen for several reasons: the club bid too low in their first attempt to sign him, the player was not sold on Celtic, the player was not too keen on Glasgow.
However it happened, missing out on a deal for Dolberg was a blow for the Hoops because he could have arrived at Parkhead as an upgrade on Idah for Rodgers.
The Danish marksman’s form for Anderlecht in the 2024/25 campaign suggested that he would have been a terrific signing for the club, hence why they were keen to bring him in in the first place.

As you can see in the table above, Dolberg scored five more goals than Idah at league level last season, with a greater conversion rate in front of goal, and performed better in his physical duels.
The 27-year-old centre-forward also scored five goals in nine games for Anderlecht at the start of the current campaign, per Transfermarkt, before he completed his permanent move to Ajax after Celtic failed to sign him.
This is why missing out on Dolberg was such a big blow for the Hoops, because the striker is in the prime years of his career and could have come in as a player who would have been ready to hit the ground running as an instant upgrade on what Rodgers previously had.
Instead, Celtic have had to take a risk signing Iheanacho on a free transfer, after the Nigeria international scored one goal in 24 league matches for Sevilla and Middlesbrough last season, per Sofascore.
In The Pipeline
Football FanCast’s In the Pipeline series aims to uncover the very best youth players in world football.
Another risky move the manager could make would be to unleash a player from the B team who could potentially emerge as his own version of Dolberg – Rhys Dargie.
Why Celtic should give Rhys Dargie a chance
Whether it is in a League Cup match or off the bench in the Scottish Premiership, Rodgers should look to present the young attacker with a chance to prove his worth at first-team level.
Celtic are clearly in a difficult position with their strikers, given that they felt the need to sign Iheanacho as a free agent after the window slammed shut, but they have a talented goalscorer in their academy set-up who may have the potential to make an impact for Rodgers.
In July, Broxburn reporter Stu Mclellan described Dargie as “some talent” after his impressive performance in a 3-2 win for Celtic’s B team against Broxburn on the opening day of the Lowland League season.
The 18-year-old starlet is a versatile talent who can play centrally or out wide. Interestingly, Dolberg played on the right wing and as a striker at U19 level for Ajax in his academy days, per Transfermarkt, and this Celtic youngster could follow in his footsteps.
Dargie has shown impressive instincts in front of goal at youth level, as evidenced by his goal in the clip above. The teenage whiz reacted brilliantly in a central position to divert the ball into the back of the net from Jude Bonnar’s effort.

As you can see in the table above, the Celtic B star has a very impressive goalscoring record at youth level with 13 goals in 26 games since the start of last season.
In that time frame, Dargie averaged a goal every 123 minutes. Interestingly, Dolberg also averaged a goal every 123 minutes in all competitions for Anderlecht last term, with 24 goals in 2,963 minutes, per Transfermarkt.
This suggests that Celtic have a player in their academy who has the potential to be just as prolific as Dolberg if he can translate his form over to the first-team.
Although Dargie has played a lot of his football as a right-winger, the teenage talent’s goalscoring instincts suggest that the club could get the best out of him in the centre-forward position, particularly given his impressive goal return, which is the route that Dolberg also went down in the Ajax academy.
Worth more than Tierney: Ange struck gold for Celtic on "phenomenal" star
Celtic have hit the jackpot on this star who is now worth more than Kieran Tierney.
ByDan Emery Sep 6, 2025
Therefore, Rodgers could unearth his own version of Dolberg by boldly unleashing this impressive youngster as a striker for the first-team in the coming weeks.

اضطر حكم إحدى المباريات في بطولة الدوري الإسباني لكرة القدم إلى إيقاف اللقاء بسبب رفع لافتة من جانب الجماهير ضد الكيان الصهيوني، للتنديد بما يحدث في قطاع غزة.
ويعاني أهل قطاع غزة من ويلات حرب شرسة من جانب العدو الإسرائيلي، منذ 7 أكتوبر 2023، أي ما يقرب من عامين.
وذكرت صحيفة “ماركا” الإسبانية أن مباراة أوساسونا وخيتافي، الجارية حاليًا في الجولة الثامنة من الدوري الإسباني، قد توقفت بسبب إحدى اللافتات السياسية.
وأوضحت أن الأمر يعود في البداية إلى إلقاء كرات تنس على أرض الملعب من الطرف الجنوبي لملعب “إل سادار”.

وأشارت إلى أن تصرف مشجعي أوساسونا رافقه رفع لافتة كُتب عليها باللغة الباسكية “الدمار إسرائيل”، مما أدى إلى إصدار قرار من الحكم خافيير ألبيرولا بإيقاف اللقاء.
وتحدث ألبيرولا إلى اللاعبين والحكام المساعدين أثناء إزالة الكرات، وسط إطلاق تحذير من قِبل الإذاعة الداخلية للحيلولة دون تفاقم الأمر، قبل استئناف المباراة من جديد.
وخلال إزالة الكرات، هتف عدد من المتواجدين في المكان نفسه من المدرجات لصالح فلسطين، في إشارة واضحة وقوية من جانبهم للدعوة بإيقاف الحرب ضد غزة.
كما ظهرت أعلام فلسطين بكثرة في مدرجات فريق أوساسونا، مع العلم أنه من المعروف أن إسبانيا من أكثر الدول الداعمة لـ فلسطين.
