Kyle Schwarber Gets Emotional Talking About Looming Free Agency After Phillies’ Elimination

The Phillies saw their postseason run end in truly horrific fashion on Thursday night when relief pitcher Orion Kerkering misplayed a grounder and decided to throw home rather than to first base in the bottom of the 11th inning, resulting in a walk-off error that sent the Dodgers to the National League Championship Series.

Not only did the loss end this year’s run, but it very well may have ended this current iteration of the Phillies, as several key players are set for free agency in the coming offseason.

Headlining that set of potential stars on the outs in Philadelphia is slugger Kyle Schwarber. After the devastating loss, Schwarber was clearly emotional while discussing the year coming to a close, knowing it was very possible he had played his last game as a Phillie.

“Doesn’t feel good. You just make a lot of different relationships in the clubhouse, and you never know how it’s going to work out," Schwarber said. "You make so many personal relationships with guys, you spend how much time with these guys throughout the course of the year. They become family.”

Schwarber went on to note that the Phillies were a team that was trying to win every year, with a fan base and ownership that cared about the team, which is something not every team in the majors can say for themselves.

The Phillies signed Schwarber in March 2022, and he has been a key part of the team’s lineup since his first day at the plate. In four seasons in Philly, Schwarber has averaged more than 44 home runs and 108 RBIs a year, including career highs of 56 dingers and 132 RBIs this past year.

With those numbers, Schwarber, 32, has undoubtedly earned a massive deal in the coming offseason, but with the Phillies already on the books with mega-contracts out to Bryce Harper, Trea Turner and several other stars, it’s fair to wonder whether or not the team will be willing to keep writing monster checks that can match what offers Schwarber is going to rightfully command on the open market.

Earlier in the year, Schwarber hinted that playing for the Reds, the team he grew up rooting for, would undoubtedly be appealing if he weren’t to stay in Philadelphia. Cincinnati is in the bottom third of the league when it comes to payroll on the books for 2026 at just over $60 million. The Phillies, meanwhile, are already down for more than $192 million in 2026 payroll, and that’s before whatever massive contract Schwarber would potentially land.

If it is the last time Schwarber is with the Phillies, it will have been a remarkable run for him. In just four seasons, Schwarber put himself at 12th on the team’s all-time home run list, and would have almost certainly hopped into the top eight with one more year. He also became just the 21st player in MLB history to hit four home runs in a game with an astounding show of power earlier this year.

While the emotions of the loss are still too fresh, the Phillies and Schwarber both have big decisions to make in the coming months.

Astros Activate All-Star Third Baseman Ahead of Crucial Series With Mariners

With an absolutely cardinal series against the Mariners looming, the Astros are ready to redeploy one of their best young talents.

Houston is activating third baseman Isaac Paredes from the injured list ahead of the team's three-game series against the Mariners, it announced Friday. Paredes, 26, has not played since July 19 due to a hamstring injury.

When he hurt himself, the two-time All-Star was slashing .259/.359/.470 with 19 home runs and 50 RBIs. As noted by Brian McTaggart of MLB.com, each of those last two figures led the team at that time.

The Astros acquired Paredes from the Cubs on Dec. 13 in the trade that sent Chicago star right fielder and designated hitter Kyle Tucker. The transaction has worked out for both teams in the near term, as Paredes, Tucker and Houston right fielder Cam Smith have all provided their share of contributions to their new teams.

With nine games remaining, both the Astros and Seattle have 84–69 records. Houston is seeking its fifth straight American League West title, while the Mariners haven't won their division since 2001.

ياسين منصور: الأهلي أفضل ناد في العالم.. وأركز على شيء سيضاعف الإيرادات

تحدث ياسين منصور، نائب رئيس مجلس إدارة النادي الأهلي، عن كيفية زيادة دخل القلعة الحمراء خلال الفترة المقبلة.

وقال ياسين منصور، في تصريحات عبر قناة “سكاي نيوز”: “الأهلي عالمي، بالطبع، أكبر نادي في العالم، والأهلي كبير طوال عمره، وكل من تعامل معه وجد حبًا بلا مقابل”.

وواصل: “كنت مع كابتن صالح وكابتن حسن حمدي، والآن مع الخطيب، وبصراحة، هناك تفانٍ تام في حب النادي الأهلي، وهو الأمر الذي يُسعد المصريين”.

وأكمل: “الإنسان يحس أن الله وضعه في مكان يسعد 80 مليونًا من أبناء بلده ومن خارج بلده”.

طالع.. الأهلي يحسم موقفه من عرض برشلونة لضم حمزة عبد الكريم

وواصل: “أرى أن أهم شيء هو قطاع الناشئين، مصر فيها حوالي 110 ملايين نسمة، ومن بينهم بالتأكيد 20 أو 30 لاعبًا على مستوى محمد صلاح، لكن يحتاجون إلى العين التي تستثمر فيهم وهذا جزء أركز عليه مع كابتن الخطيب وكابتن سيد عبد الحفيظ، وأراه مهمًا جدًا”.

وأضاف: “الأمر الثاني هو كيفية التعاون مع الدولة لزيادة مصادر إيرادات الأهلي، والنادي خلال الفترة الأخيرة نجح في ذلك”.

واستمر: “الأهلي يُعد علامة تجارية قوية، وأقوى علامة في الشرق الأوسط وإفريقيا وهذا يحدث بالفعل، لكن يمكن تعزيزه أكثر”.

وتابع: “على سبيل المثال، في أندية أوروبا تمثل مبيعات التذاكر نحو 30% من الإيرادات، بينما هنا لا تتجاوز 1%، وذلك بسبب تجربة حضور المباريات نفسها، مثل الجلوس ثلاث ساعات في الحر”.

وأتم: “لذا، يجب ترتيب الأمور بحيث يذهب المشجع قبل المباراة بخمس دقائق ويجد كرسيه جاهزًا، وهذه أمور ستحدث فرقًا كبيرًا”.

Ranking Every MLB City Connect Jersey in the 2025 Season From Worst to Best

City Connect uniforms hit the baseball diamond beginning the 2021 season, allowing MLB teams a chance to flash some creativity and honor their homes with unique logos and differing color schemes.

In the midst of the '25 season, 28 teams have their own edition, which are mostly worn during Friday home games. Only the New York Yankees and Athletics are without a City Connect uniform. Maybe that will change for the A's when—or if?—they leave their temporary home of West Sacramento for Las Vegas. Don't bet on anyone ever messing with the Yankee pinstripes, though.

The other 28 MLB teams, however, don their own flare through a unique City Connect uniform. Some make sense upon first glance and others, well, you have to look a bit closer. This season, eight teams debuted a second City Connect design—an opportunity to take a new approach and give fans what they really want (cue the new Red Sox Green Monster-inspired jerseys).

Here's each City Connect uniform you could see on the field this season, ranked from worst to best:

28. Texas Rangers

The logo and font—which is a nod to three disbanded Minor League teams that paved the way for the Rangers' existence—is nice. But something about the cream-colored jerseys paired with the dark navy pants doesn't sit quite right.

27. Chicago Cubs

The Cubs lose points because they've seemingly ditched their "Wrigleyville" City Connect uniforms, but they could definitely use a new set, too. They haven't worn the dark navy uniform so far this season, which is understandable after the franchise released new powder blue alternate jerseys. The baby blue Cubs uniform is an absolute classic, but since that uniform isn't technically a City Connect edition, it can't make the cut here. Maybe we'll see Chicago get a new City Connect uniform in the future.

26. Los Angeles Dodgers

L.A.'s second City Connect uniforms, which they debuted in 2024, are a mix of past and present. They include futuristic numbering and lettering, plus a galaxy pattern throughout in the colors of Dodger Stadium. The logo on the hats and helmets are nice, adding a "D" over the classic "LA" logo, but the Dodgers could've went another way with this one.

25. Minnesota Twins

The Twins made an ode to the Land of 10,000 Lakes as their approach. The unique pattern across the jersey is meant to evoke ripples in the surface of a lake, which is a nice touch but looks a bit busy on a baseball uniform. Purple Prince-inspired City Connect uniforms, when?

24. Detroit Tigers

The color scheme is solid and the hat even pays tribute to each year the Tigers won the World Series in vehicle identification number form. Count me out for the racing stripe down the middle of the jersey, though.

23. Pittsburgh Pirates

It would feel weird for a Pittsburgh team to have a uniform that wasn't black and yellow, so it's nice the Pirates stayed true to their colors. If you look closely, the texture printed on the jerseys honor some Pittsburgh history, including the Roberto Clemente Bridge. But the lettering for both the "PGH" on the front as well as the names and numbers feels a bit off.

22. Kansas City Royals

These are great looking navy jerseys, especially with the classic Royals powder blue and white trim. The logos are inspired by the fountains across Kansas City, as well as those in the outfield at Kauffman Stadium. You wouldn't realize that just by looking at them, though. Great idea and color scheme, but the execution could be better.

21. Baltimore Orioles

The pattern on the sleeves which matches the trim on the inside of the jersey is the best part of the Orioles' City Connect jerseys. Otherwise, they're just a black alternate jersey. A clean one at that, though.

20. St. Louis Cardinals

The Cardinals went with a plain approach, but these are clean. It's nice that St. Louis has a red jersey added into their rotation for the first time in franchise history once their City Connect uniform was unveiled in 2024. Maybe they'll take a more creative approach for their next edition but in the meantime, these are fine.

19. Milwaukee Brewers

The "Brew Crew" nickname across the front is awesome and the light-blue base color the Brewers went with looks nice paired with the yellow and dark navy. Embedded within the MKE logo on the helmets and hats is 414, which is Milwaukee's area code. My favorite part of the Brewers' City Connect kits is a patch on the sleeve of the jerseys of a grill with baseball stitching. These scream summer in the Midwest.

18. Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies' City Connect uniform don't look like a Phillies uniform at all. But, maybe that's the point. The blue-and-yellow color scheme is based off the city of Philadelphia's flag and the hat features a Liberty Bell logo. Although these grow on you with time (as much as a two-toned faded uniform can), let's hope the Phillies are in for a Phillie Phanatic refresh for their next City Connect edition.

17. Cincinnati Reds

An all-black baseball uniform during the summer heat is certainly a choice, but the Reds did a nice job executing it. The hats feature a modern-looking "C" logo, which is a cool change of pace from Cincinnati's traditional uniforms. The uniform includes a patch with the city's motto and also has a buckeye leaf for the state of Ohio. Mr. Red should have made an appearance somewhere though.

16. San Francisco Giants

The Giants received new City Connect uniforms this season, which are inspired by San Francisco's musical history. The purple is a nod to the franchise's New York origins, where they wore violet from 1913 to '17. The unique Giants script across the jersey is influenced by psychedelic, Grateful Dead-esque posters. With many elements at play, the Giants did a good job threading the needle with their refresh, although I could do without the two-toned cap brim.

15. Houston Astros

Houston is one of the squads who unveiled new City Connect uniforms this season and the Astros went with a clean, all-white approach. The great majority of fans call them the 'Stros, so why not put it across a jersey? A new, futuristic logo appears on the caps and the helmets which is a nice adjustment from the classic "H" on their daily threads.

14. New York Mets

You'd think the purple tones within the Mets' City Connect uniforms are related to Grimace and the impact the furry purple blob had on the team's magical run last season, but the accents are really for the 7 Line that runs to Citi Field. The gray base represents the concrete jungle of New York City and the front of the hat and helmet features the Queensboro Bridge. A patch on the sleeve mimics a NYC subway token, too. Points for understanding the assignment, whether you love or hate the outcome.

13. Cleveland Guardians

On first look, the Guardians' City Connect uniforms look plain. But the more you look at them and think of and Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn thanks to the shoulder and pant stripes, the more you see a top-tier alternate jersey.

12. Atlanta Braves

The Braves made a perfect mix of classic and modern with the Hank Aaron-era uniforms with an added "The A" for the logo. These are clean and bring all the nostalgia.

11. Seattle Mariners

With the trident as part of Mariners home run celebrations, it only makes sense the trident logo made an appearance with Seattle's City Connects. The colors and fonts pay tribute to the Seattle Pilots, who existed in 1969 as their sole season before the franchise moved to Milwaukee and Seattle was eventually awarded an expansion team—the Mariners. The color scheme matches the Mariners' original colors, too. Plus, the deep blue and black screams Pacific Northwest.

10. Colorado Rockies

A little vintage Taco Bell-esque, sure. But a tip of the cap to the Rockies for the creativity with their new City Connect kits. The color scheme is inspired by Colorado sunrises and sunsets from the Rocky Mountains. These are the first City Connect pullover jerseys to debut, too—cue the Little League nostalgia. Plus, if you look closely enough, you'll spot a ripstop pattern—inspired by ski and snowboard clothing.

9. Los Angeles Angels

The Angels get points for a clean, classic uniform here. These might even rival their standard set of uniforms. The diamond around the numbers on the front of the jersey of course references a baseball diamond, but it's also an ode to early surfboard logos. A retro, beach-themed uniform—the Angels understood the assignment.

8. Washington Nationals

It's a bummer that the Nationals moved away from their cherry blossom City Connects, but their new rendition is a nice looking substitute. The new light blue kits depict the design of the Disctrict's street grid if you look closely. And there's still a small cherry blossom on both sides of the "W" on the caps and helmets. While there could be a bit more pink, the Nationals made a tasteful refresh.

7. San Diego Padres

The Padres' colorful City Connects may get retired after this season, but they are a staple alternate as long as they remain on the diamond. The pastels will be missed as they scream San Diego and are a nice change of pace from the Padres' traditional brown and gold.

6. Arizona Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks brought back the purple and teal for their new City Connect uniforms, which were unveiled this season. Their previous, sand-colored City Connect jerseys also included "Serpientes" across the front, which is Spanish for snakes. The jerseys even include a snakeskin pattern and faux sleeves as a callback to their classic vest jerseys. These are a perfect combination of franchise history and the Phoenix culture—nicely done.

5. Miami Marlins

The Marlins became the first MLB team in history to use an area code as the main logo on a hat. And it's perfect the first city to have that honor is the 305. The teal and pink is definitely inspired, but it's also nice to see the Marlins bring some teal back from their classic teal, black and silver uniforms. The teal and pink stripes throughout scream Miami nightlife, but they're also a fresh, modern take on pinstripes we see across so many classic baseball uniforms.

4. Chicago White Sox

Love it or hate it, marrying two sports franchises for an alternate jersey is undoubtedly cool. Especially when you consider Michael Jordan's history with the Chicago White Sox. This jersey is an awesome piece for fans to wear to a Chicago Bulls game. A baseball jersey and basketball jersey all at once as an ode to one of the NBA's most storied franchises—pretty unique.

3. Toronto Blue Jays

Even if a little abstract, the Toronto skyline is the perfect centerpiece for the Blue Jays' City Connect uniform. The CN Tower pokes out into view from the Rogers Centre, which makes for an epic baseball setting. Whether you like the all-black look or not, these are inspired by Toronto's nightlife and are the first dark Blue Jays jerseys since the early 2010s when the team wore silver and blue. A solid mix of past, present and future, adorned with the calling card of a game at Rogers Centre.

2. Tampa Bay Rays

Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Caminero is congratulated after scoring a run at George M. Steinbrenner Field. / Kim Klement Neitzel-Imagn Images

Tampa Bay's City Connect uniforms have it all—flames bursting through the font, the city's bridge mixed with a sting ray on the logo and even a skateboarding ray as an alternate logo. Neon isn't for everyone, but the Rays mixed the bright colors with a dark base to end up with a beautiful product.

1. Boston Red Sox

Wearing a Green Monster inspired uniform while playing in front of the Green Monster is about as cool as it gets. Boston's new "Fenway Greens" stole the show of the new City Connect uniforms released this year. If the Red Sox wear a different color, the hues of Fenway Park are perfect. The matching wordmarks and numbers paired with the foul-pole yellow takes these over the top. Their previous Patriots' Day-inspired City Connects aren't bad, but keep the Fenway Greens in rotation forever.

Rookie Spence stars as Surrey secure their semi-final berth

Davidson-Richards continues fine form as Durham are outplayed in DLS loss

ECB Reporters Network supported by Rothesay13-Sep-2025 Surrey 290 for 7 (Spence 68, Davidson-Richards 65*, Jones 47, Monaghan 45) beat Durham 138 (Gregory 3-24) by 86 runs (DLS)A fine career-best 68 off 63 balls from teenager Jemima Spence in only her second senior innings of 2025 featured in a rainy Surrey win as they confirmed their Metro Bank One-Day Cup semi-final place at the expense of Durham at the Banks Homes Riverside.Surrey sealed a fourth-placed finish – a position they held at the start of the day with a three-point advantage – and prevented either Durham or fellow chasers Somerset from leapfrogging them, winning by 86 runs on DLS.Nineteen-year-old Spence, batting at No.6, shared a 112 partnership for the fifth wicket with England’s Alice Davidson-Richards, who also contributed an unbeaten 65 off 61 to Surrey’s commanding 290 for seven from 48 overs.The third rain delay came with Durham 14 for one in the third over chasing a revised 276 in 41. The target was further revised to an overall 225 in 29, and the hosts were bowled out for 138 inside 23 overs. Davidson-Richards added two wickets with her seam.Vitality Blast champions Surrey will travel to face table-toppers Hampshire in the semis on Wednesday.A Surrey win would guarantee qualification, while a defeat would have eliminated them. In the end, a No Result would have also been enough. But a sixth win did it.A Durham win would have given them a good chance, though a big Somerset success over the Bears left them needing a bonus point win at the start of their chase. They finished sixth in the table.Having been inserted, Surrey started impressively as Alice Monaghan shared in first and second-wicket partnerships of 55 and 69 with Bryony Smith and Emma Jones.Monaghan and Jones both played nicely for 45 and 47 – the latter particularly so as she latched onto anything short and hit a couple of eye-catching boundaries down the ground.At 121 for one in the 22nd over, Surrey looked set to dominate. But Durham took three cheap wickets, reducing the score to 149 for four in the 27th.Scotland off-spinner Katherine Fraser had Monaghan caught at long-on with a full toss and a pulling Jones bowled off her thigh.Rain briefly interrupted play at 180 for four in the 33rd over, with Spence and Davidson-Richards now set. And upon the resumption, they kicked on superbly, sharing their century stand in 18 overs.While Davidson-Richards was classy, Spence mixed power with invention and was first to her fifty off 56 balls. Her more experienced partner followed her there off 55.Durham were disrupted by having to change wicketkeepers because of a finger problem for Bess Heath. Mia Rogers took over. They also lost key seamer Phoebe Turner to a groin injury having only bowled three overs. She slipped in the outfield.Rain returned to cut short the Surrey innings at 1.55pm.When play resumed at 3.15pm, chasing that 276 in 41 overs, Durham would have been aware that Somerset had won with a bonus point. So they had to do the same given the counties started the day level on points.But that never looked realistic.Rogers pulled Phoebe Franklin’s seam to midwicket in the first over before rain intervened again at 14 for one in the third.Durham had approximately 20 overs in which to achieve their target for the bonus point, and they started in solid fashion when needing to be spectacular.Captain Emma Marlow and Hollie Armitage shared 53 for the second wicket.But when both fell inside three overs for 27 and 31 – bowled by Kalea Moore’s off-spin and caught behind off Alexa Stonehouse’s seam – Durham were 85 for three in the 14th over and out of contention.Stonehouse struck again as the end came quickly, with Davidson-Richards bowling Bess Heath and Trudy Johnson. Leg-spinner Dani Gregory struck three times. Injured Phoebe Turner didn’t bat.

Kamran Ghulam: Pakistan's omnipresent phantom makes his moment count

After a decade defined by his absence, Pakistan’s future star batter may finally be here

Danyal Rasool15-Oct-2024Kamran Ghulam’s career doesn’t make sense. Not because, until today, he averaged 50 over a decade of first-class cricket without ever having played a Test at a time Pakistan have been looking for Test batters. No, there was something else, especially if you looked at his ESPNcricinfo profile.Ghulam was a ghost international cricketer. He had played one match for Pakistan, an ODI against New Zealand, without having batted or bowled. Hit the scorecard link, and it gets weirder. He doesn’t feature in Pakistan’s line-up at all.Earlier that day, Haris Sohail was hit on the head by a 150kph Lockie Ferguson bouncer, battling on until he was dismissed. He wouldn’t take the field in the second innings, and though Pakistan could just as easily have called for a replacement fielder, they made a concussion substitute. Ghulam was given his first international cap; perhaps Pakistan felt he’d bowl. He didn’t.Related

  • Ghulam's debut century carries Pakistan as England stay in touch

  • 'We had a clear plan' – Azhar Mahmood puts his spin on Multan pitch

  • What is the highest total for a team losing by an innings in a Test?

In some perverse way, that serving as the entirety of one of Pakistan’s most prolific young batters was an apt metaphor for the state of Pakistan’s domestic structure. A reminder you didn’t need to be standing on thin ice to slip through the cracks. This was a player fully integrated into Pakistan’s cricketing network, patchy as it was, but only hovered around the outskirts of the national team. He is by no means an exception. Of the dozen players who have scored more Quaid-e-Azam trophy runs than him since he made his debut, five of them have never played a Test match; another has only played one. It feels jarring to note he celebrated his 29th birthday earlier this week, so long has he been viewed as a future batting star.Like the Lochness Monster or Big Foot, Ghulam was ubiquitous, and yet nowhere to been seen. His name showed up in media releases, and he was topping Quaid-e-Azam trophy charts. He’d been selected for this or that A tour, and was in a Pakistan squad here or there. This summer, he was playing in the Huddersfield league – as you do when you’re a rising batting star. That the club he played for was called Hoylandswaine didn’t exactly help any claims of Ghulam’s verisimilitude. That phantom appearance against New Zealand was the holy grail of Ghulam sightings, but could we really be sure?Kamran Ghulam struck an early six in his innings•Getty ImagesHaving spent so long lurking in the shadowy underworld of cricketers Pakistan has disused to the point of atrophy, Ghulam suddenly has been pinned into place and had a flashlight burn into his retinas over the weekend. Pakistan dropped Babar Azam, prematurely according to some, contentiously according to all; it was a move even the Pakistan head coach did not call for. It sent Babar’s fandom into meltdown, and even those who had criticised his recent form felt the decision to leave him out after one Test was borne of panic rather than logic. Some of the stray ire was directed Ghulam’s way, as if his entire career had built up to nicking a spot off Babar at number four. A snow leopard dragged into a desert circus wouldn’t have felt more out of place.Pakistan had prepared the same pitch used for the first Test for this one, playing just one fast bowler on what they hoped would be a batting minefield, and ten overs in, that wish was being fulfilled. Jack Leach and Shoaib Bashir were already into the attack, Abdullah Shafique and Shan Masood already back in the hut. The ball stayed low, and spun unpredictably. If ever a debutant batter, one stepping into Babar’s shoes, was being set up to fail, it was here.Ben Stokes, who had moved a fielder into the short leg position Masood had obligingly chipped one to, spent his time setting the field. A second slip was brought in, and a performance was made out of bringing a silly mid-off to accompany short leg. But Ghulam had waited more than a decade for this moment, and patience came naturally to him. A snatched single got him off the mark, but he what followed was all steel.He was batting alongside Saim Ayub, another player under pressure. The duo understood the precarity of their position, and that wanton attack would only be a speciously positive approach: one that potentially brought some quick runs, but certainly offered England quick wickets. And so, on a strip that barely matched the quality of those he buttered his bread on in domestic cricket, Ghulam dug on.

“Like the Lochness Monster or Big Foot, Ghulam was ubiquitous, and yet nowhere to been seen. His name showed up in media releases, and he was topping Quaid-e-Azam trophy charts”

The conditions were old-school subcontinental, and so Ghulam played old-school subcontinental cricket. According to ESPNcricinfo’s ball-tracking records, he defended or left along 138 of his 224 deliveries. But this was no blockathon; Ghulam’s concentration levels never wavered, picking length early to sweep or reverse, each of which he did four times. When Bashir tossed one up late in the day, he hit him into the sightscreen. When Brydon Carse overpitched, it didn’t matter it was the first delivery with the second new ball, Ghulam leaned into the straight drive and picked up another four.Observers who have watched him play on the domestic setup will tell you this is simply how Ghulam plays, the runs a mere byproduct of solid technique and judicious shot selection. Ghulam might bat how the game demands it to, but appears oddly disconnected from the stage his individual innings is placed at. It was illustrated in the way he got to his century, smearing Joe Root into the onside for four; they were the only runs he scored off a slog sweep all innings, and one of just two times in 224 balls he attempted that shot. The opportunity was simply there.And, at long last, it feels that opportunity is finally here for him. After a decade defined by his absence, Ghulam is present in every sense of the word. Pakistan’s future star batter may finally be here, and Kamran Ghulam’s career may at last begin to make sense.
