PFF suggests shocking trade candidate for Broncos
Pro Football Focus recently published a list of 15 NFL trade candidates, and Bradley Locker included Denver Broncos cornerback Riley Moss on the list. (To be clear, the hypothetical list is just speculation from Locker.)
Locker believes that after the Broncos used a first-round pick to select Texas cornerback Jahdae Barron this spring, "[t]hat could leave a player like Moss on the block." This was his closing line: "Denver may retain the 25-year-old Moss as depth, but if his role is constricted, other teams could come calling."
Moss is not depth.
He's still projected to serve as the team's outside cornerback this fall across from Pat Surtain with Barron playing primarily in the slot. And even if Barron ended up winning the outside spot, Moss would be moved inside to play in the slot as the team's No. 3 cornerback.
Moss being a potential trade candidate is a shocking prediction from PFF, and we don't expect the Broncos to even think about the possibility of such a move. It's true that Denver has a deep secondary, but that's a good thing. There's room for all three of Surtain, Moss and Barron in Vance Joseph's defense.

New Phillies closer Jhoan Durán caps home shutout of Tigers with fastest pitch in park history
Baseball fans in Philadelphia have never seen anything quite like this. Jhoan Durán made his second appearance for the Phillies Sunday night since arriving via trade from the Minnesota Twins. He secured his second save in those two games. And he closed the 2-0 shutout over the Detroit Tigers with the fastest pitch in Citizen's Bank Park history. Durán's 103.3 mph fastball on a 2-2 count against All-Star Riley Greene set the new stadium record. And it got Greene swinging and missing at the top of the zone to end the game. It also got Phillies fans on their feet. And it wasn't the only record Durán set Sunday night. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Durán threw five pitches in the top of the ninth of 102.4 mph or faster. Each of them was faster than any pitch previously thrown by a Phillies pitcher in the 22-year history of the ballpark. The save capped a standout weekend for the Phillies in the aftermath of acquiring Durán as their bonafide new closer. They end the weekend with a half-game lead over the New York Mets atop the NL East thanks to winning two out of three against the fellow first-place Tigers. Durán closed out both wins. For the second time in three nights, Phillies fans were treated to the electric Durán entrance that followed him from Minnesota, complete with daunting bell chimes, flames and creepy digital spider that's a nod to his nickname, the Durantula. On Friday, Durán secured a 5-4 win with a 1-2-3 effort in the ninth. On Sunday he entered the game in charge of a shutout after eight sensational innings from Cristopher Sanchez. He did not let Sanchez or Phillies fans down. Durán started the inning with a six-pitch groundout of pinch hitter Kerry Carpenter. He induced another groundout on his first pitch to Spencer Torkelson. He then threw five straight fastballs of 101-plus mph to Greene before his 103.3 mph laser ended the game. It was the exact kind of performance the Phillies envisioned when they acquired Durán. And it lowered his season-long ERA to a pristine 1.93. In a baseball postseason where the margins are slim, a strong, reliable closer is often the difference between advancing and not. The Phillies are hoping that Durán turns out to be a difference maker when the stakes are at their highest.

Grumpy's Gauntlet part of reimagined back nine at Disney's Magnolia golf course
The back nine at Disney's Magnolia golf course has been completely reimagined as part of a multi-year renovation plan from Arnold Palmer Golf Management. Holes 14-17 are affectionately named 'Grumpy's Gauntlet.' No. 14 is a par 4 with a green sloping away from the center, making approach shots tricky. No. 15, a par 5, measures 597 yards from the back tees. No. 16 is a 456-yard par 4 with water on the left of the green. No. 17 is a par 3 with water on both sides and a multi-sloped green. This stretch has brand new bunkers and brand new greens. This is a facelift for a course, that for over forty years, hosted a season ending stop on the PGA Tour. Jack Nicklaus won the event three times, Tiger Woods won twice in the late nineties, so playing this course means you get to walk in the footsteps of some of the all time greats. Florida residents can save as much as 25% on their tee times, and 20% on golf instruction, and everyone can play year-round on courses that have crowned major winners. Magnolia is rich in history and this revamped back nine stretch is a welcome change. The renovations also include their new 18-hole putting course known as 'The Greatest Green Ever Played.'' The 18-hole putting course features a scorecard and pin locations that change almost daily. It features plenty of undulation, challenging putts, and fast greens that provide a good warm-up before hitting the course, as well as a fun option for kids. The green's new name pays homage to the biographical Walt Disney Pictures sports film, 'The Greatest Game Ever Played,' which is based on the early life of amateur golf champion Francis Ouimet and his surprise victory at the 1913 U.S. Open.

Messi has a 'minor' muscle injury, Inter Miami says timeline for return is unknown
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Inter Miami star Lionel Messi is dealing with a minor muscle injury in his right leg after being hurt in the opening minutes of Saturday's Leagues Cup match against Necaxa, the club said Sunday. Messi underwent tests on his right leg after experiencing discomfort following a play in which he fell while being challenged by a pair of Necaxa defenders, in a game Inter Miami won on penalty kicks. His timeline for return isn't yet known, though it seems unlikely that he will be available for Miami's next Leagues Cup match against UNAM Pumas on Wednesday. Inter Miami said in a release that Messi's medical clearance will depend on how he responds to treatment. Messi slapped his hand against the ground in frustration after the fall, which happened in the first 10 minutes of Saturday's match. He walked slowly toward the Inter Miami bench before sitting down on the pitch. Trainers came out and worked on his right upper thigh area for a couple of minutes before he subbed out for Federico Redondo in the 11th. He then immediately walked to the locker room. Miami coach Javier Mascherano said after the game that Messi wasn't in any pain. ___ AP soccer:
