CINCINNATI — Jose Trevino could read the tea leaves well enough to know that he was probably getting traded last offseason.
But before the Yankees dealt him to the Reds for Fernando Cruz in December, they helped change the trajectory of his career.
Trevino became an All-Star and Platinum Glove winner, played for the team he grew up rooting for and emerged as one of the leading faces of the Yankees catching program that has turned into something of a factory in churning out big leaguers.
'It's cool, man,' Trevino said Monday, getting choked up as he spoke at his locker inside the home clubhouse at Great American Ballpark with the Yankees in town. 'It's a lot of hard work.

Aryna Sabalenka ‘learnt a lot' from reaction to losing the French Open final
World number one Aryna Sabalenka has been able to clear the air with Coco Gauff after her emotional reaction to losing the French Open final to the American earlier this month. The Belarusian was heavily criticised after attributing the defeat to her own mistakes rather than Gauff's performance, and apologised both privately and publicly for describing the match as the worst final she had played. Advertisement The two players looked to have put those hostilities firmly behind them in social media clips posted from Wimbledon on Friday, and Sabalenka was contrite in accepting the negative response her comments prompted. She said: 'I've always been really good with Coco. Honestly, as I said in the statement and I messaged to her, I didn't really want to offend her. 'I was just completely upset with myself, and emotions got over me. I just completely lost it. 'I did what I did. I get what I deserve, I believe. It was a tough time for me. The lesson is learned. 'Honestly, I'm kind of glad what happened to me at Paris, because I was able to learn a lot. Advertisement 'I was able to sit back and be open to myself, not just to ignore some things. I think I realised a lot of things about myself in those last stages of the tournament. 'We spoke with the team. I think we learned something. I really hope it will never happen again.' Sabalenka, who is up against Canadian Carson Branstine in the first round, has no qualms about facing Gauff again should the two end up involved in a rematch in the Wimbledon final. 'If I make it to the finals, I don't care (who I play), but also I would love to face Coco,' she said. 'If she's going to be there, I'm happy because I want to get the revenge!'. Advertisement Sabalenka has been limbering up for the tournament by having a hit with both Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, with the former happy to offer advice drawn from his vast experience. Novak Djokovic offered advice to Aryna Sabalenka (Ben Whitley/PA) She said: 'Novak is the best. First of all, I was able to hit with him, which not every guy would be able to do. Then you can chat with him, he will give his honest advice. 'It's amazing to hear opinions of such a legend. We were just chatting about stuff that I'm struggling with a little bit. I'm really thankful for the advice he gave me. 'It was a 30-minute chat. If you give opportunity to Novak to talk, he's not going to stop! I wish I could stay there for four hours and just keep chatting, but we all have our schedule. Advertisement 'Honestly, I hit with Jannik for like, I don't know, 10 minutes – I was exhausted! 'An hour with Novak…now I'm recovered. I needed a day of recovery but it was a great experience. When you see someone like Jannik or Novak, you learn from them. You reflect what they do on court. It was great for me.'

Three Florida Gators on ESPN's way-too-early 2026 NBA big board
Florida basketball just saw three players selected in the same draft for the first time since 2007, but it might not take more than a year for the Gators to accomplish the feat again. Center Alex Condon, transfer point guard Boogie Fland and forward Thomas Haugh are all inside the top 40 on ESPN's first 2026 big board. Condon appearing at No. 29 is no surprise. He tested the draft waters this year and decided to return to improve his stock. A fringe first-round projection fits that narrative, and he can easily move up if he develops into the All-American/All-SEC big man many expect him to be. With only five centers ahead of him on ESPN's lists, the movement could happen quickly. Fland also gauged NBA interest after his freshman year with Arkansas, but a second-round projection has him back in school, except with a different SEC program. A former All-American, Fland averaged 15.1 points, 5.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds over the Razorbacks' first 18 games. He shot 36.5% from 3-point range, but the hand injury that ended his season might have kept that from rising over the year. Scouts will be looking for better shot selection from him and a better finishing touch near the rim. Size is also a question mark, but he can't do much to grow. ESPN has him just outside a first-round ranking at No. 31 overall. Haugh might have the highest ceiling of the group. He wasn't on draft boards coming into last year, but it's hard to imagine that there's an NBA front office without knowledge of him after the run he made in the postseason. Haugh is a big riser already at No. 40, but he could easily end the 2025-26 season as a first-rounder.

Cubs' Kyle Tucker Admits 'There's Some Other Stuff' to Consider in Free Agency
Cubs' Kyle Tucker Admits 'There's Some Other Stuff' to Consider in Free Agency originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If the Chicago Cubs lose Kyle Tucker, this campaign will ultimately be viewed as a failure. Unless the Cubs win a World Series, nobody will be happy about the outcome of the year if Tucker is on a different ball club in the next few months. Advertisement It's tough to envision him leaving, but anything is possible. However, just from an outside point of view, Tucker is playing in one of the greatest cities in the world for a storied franchise. Not only is he doing that, but the Cubs are in first place, and he's swinging the bat at a ridiculously high level, hitting .287 with 16 home runs and 49 RBIs. His 167 OPS+ is also one of the highest in Major League Baseball. When speaking about his upcoming contract situation with NBC Chicago, Tucker admitted that he's loved the first half of the season in Chicago, but added that some other things have to be figured out. Chicago Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker (30) hits a solo home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the fifth inning at PNC LeClaire-Imagn Images 'I've had a phenomenal first half of the season here so far. It's been nothing but great. I could definitely see myself in that situation, but obviously there's some other stuff we've got to get through,' Tucker said. 'But I mean I've had nothing but a phenomenal time here.' Advertisement When asked where negotiations stand, Tucker said he wants to keep those between him, the organization, his agent, and others. However, he must be giving love to the fan base, as they'll surely play a part in what he might do in the next few months. 'You definitely feel the love from the fanbase and the team, so I mean it definitely plays a part in (any decision),' he said. 'I don't know where the future's going to be or what not, but for now I'm here and I'm really enjoying it.'
