The Buffalo Bills further whittled down their roster size with a couple of moves that saw them let go of veterans running back Duke Johnson and OJ Howard, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. It’s not rare for a team to cut a player and absorb him later on to their practice squad and Schefter […]

By all means Boston Red Sox outfielder/designated hitter JD Martinez is having a solid 2022 MLB season. After all, he just earned his fifth All-Star nod this year.
