Florida lands former Arkansas PG Boogie Fland

Reuters20-05-2025
May 20 - Former Arkansas point guard Boogie Fland committed to reigning national champion Florida on Tuesday.
Fland and his representatives, who include Florida alumnus Mike Miller, confirmed the transfer with ESPN.
Fland attended this month's draft combine before withdrawing from 2025 NBA Draft consideration last week.
He averaged 13.5 points, 5.1 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 21 games (18 starts) as a freshman for coach John Calipari's Razorbacks in 2024-25.
Fland missed more than two months of the season with an injury to his right hand. He faced the Gators once, tallying 15 points, four assists and three rebounds in a 71-63 loss on Jan. 11 in Fayetteville, Ark.
A five-star recruit and McDonald's All-American, the 6-foot-2 Fland originally committed to Kentucky when Calipari still was the head coach.
He fills a vacancy with coach Todd Golden's Gators, with point guard Walter Clayton Jr. out of eligibility along with fellow backcourt starters Will Richard and Alijah Martin.

Report: Dolphins, Minkah Fitzpatrick agree to reworked deal

July 27 - The Miami Dolphins and All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick agreed to a reworked contract, ESPN reported on Sunday. Fitzpatrick will receive a $16.435 million signing bonus and Miami will save $11 million against the 2025 salary cap, per the report. The Dolphins acquired Fitzpatrick from Pittsburgh last month in a trade that sent cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to the Steelers. Fitzpatrick signed a four-year, $73.6 million extension with the Steelers in 2022 and hopes to eventually sign a long-term deal with Miami, according to agent Drew Rosenhaus. "We are comfortable with this commitment to Minkah as we continue to work with the Dolphins on a multiyear extension," Rosenhaus told ESPN on Sunday. Fitzpatrick, 28, is a five-time Pro Bowl and three-time All-Pro selection who launched his career in Miami as a first-round pick (11th overall) in the 2018 NFL Draft. Fitzpatrick recorded 96 tackles and one interception in 17 starts last season. He has 20 picks, 54 passes defensed and 608 tackles in 106 career games (101 starts) with the Dolphins (2018-19) and Steelers. --Field Level Media

He was 0-2 with a 3.38 ERA and two saves in eight appearances before the injury. Treinen made the All-Star team with the then-Oakland Athletics in 2018 and won World Series championships with the Dodgers in 2020 and 2024. He is 43-36 with a 2.79 ERA and 82 saves in 507 career games (seven starts) with the Washington Nationals (2014-17), Athletics (2017-19) and Dodgers. Treinen missed the 2023 season following shoulder surgery. The Dodgers also recalled southpaw Justin Wrobleski and optioned right-handers Will Klein and Edgardo Henriquez to Triple-A Oklahoma City. --Field Level Media

Rangers activate 1B/DH Joc Pederson from injured list

July 27 - The Texas Rangers activated designated hitter/first baseman Joc Pederson from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. Pederson, who missed two months with a fractured right hand, batted fifth as the DH in Sunday's series finale against the visiting Atlanta Braves. Pederson, 33, was hit by a pitch by White Sox right-hander Bryse Wilson on May 24 in Chicago. He batted .131 with two homers and six RBIs in 46 games before the injury. A two-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, Pederson is a career .237 hitter with 211 home runs and 555 RBIs in 1,318 games with six teams. He played for the Los Angeles Dodgers from 2014-20. The Rangers optioned utilityman Michael Helman to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for Pederson on the 26-man roster. Helman, 29, batted .182 with one homer and four RBIs in eight games with Texas this season. --Field Level Media
