Caitlin Clark Recruiting WNBA All-Star To Indiana Fever
Caitlin Clark is already getting started on her recruiting pitch to one of next season's top WNBA free agents.
While she wasn't able to participate in this year's All-Star festivities due to a groin injury, that didn't stop the Indiana Fever star from trying to sell one of her fellow all-league guards on the idea of getting used to the idea of playing at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
Commenting on Sabrina Ionescu's All-Star IG post: "looking real natural in that lockerroom."
Fans were loving the idea of them sharing the same backcourt online.
"Alright I can be delusional for this [expletive]," a user said.
"Cc audibled the blitz true qb1," another commented.
"Hey I'm not mad at Sabrina going to Indiana either," a fan replied.
"SPLASH SISTERS 🤝🏻"
"munching on Cheezits 😭😭" another person pointed out.
"Makings of a Dream Team," another user posted.
"😂😂🤣🤣"
"Teammates. It is inevitable," another fan predicted.
Before Caitlin Clark arrived on the scene it was Ionescu who was taking college basketball and the WNBA by storm — and she hasn't let up.
After feeling her way out in the first couple years, Sabrina has firmly established herself as one of the best guards and shooters in the W on one of the league's best teams.
Having the both of them on the same team would make for one of the most exciting tandems in all of basketball. But we'll just have to wait and see...Caitlin Clark Recruiting WNBA All-Star To Indiana Fever first appeared on The Spun on Jul 21, 2025

MLS suspends Lionel Messi, Jordi Alba for skipping All-Star Game

Photo by Paolo Aguilar/EPA-EFE July 25 (UPI) -- MLS suspended Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba from Inter Miami's next match because of their decisions to skip the 2025 All-Star Game, the league announced Friday. Messi and Alba were among leading vote getters for the competition, but were not on final rosters for the event Wednesday in Austin, Texas. MLS policy states that players who do not participate in the game and related activities are prohibited from participating in their club's next match after the All-Star Game, subject to an injury exception. "I know Lionel Messi loves this league," MLS commissioner Don Garber said in a statement. "I don't think there's a player -- or anyone -- who has done more for Major League Soccer than Messi. I fully understand, respect, and admire his commitment to Inter Miami, and I respect his decision. "Unfortunately, we have a long-standing policy regarding participation in the All-Star Game, and we had to enforce it. It was a very difficult decision. "That said, we're going to take a hard look at the policy moving forward. I'm committed to working with our players to determine how the rule should evolve." Messi, the 2024 MLS MVP, is tied with Nashville SC's Sam Surridge with a league-leading 18 goals this season. His nine assists through 18 games are tied for seventh in MLS. Alba recorded eight assists through 19 appearances for the Herons. Herons coach Javier Mascherano told reporters Friday that Messi felt fatigue in recent weeks. The Herons (12-4-5) sit in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, seven points behind first-place FC Cincinnati (15-6-3). The Orange and Blues will take on the Herons at 7:15 p.m. EDT Saturday in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

Gregory Soto trade grades: Mets bolster bullpen with two-time All-Star
In a move that signifies a deeper teardown in Baltimore and a desire in Queens to backfill a roster still fighting for the National League East title, the New York Mets acquired left-handed reliever Gregory Soto from the Orioles on Friday, July 25 in exchange for two minor league relief pitchers, according to multiple reports. Soto, 30, moves back to the NL East almost exactly a year after the Philadelphia Phillies traded him to Baltimore in a swap among contenders. He's been largely effective and occasionally dominant, striking out 44 in 36 innings and holding left-handed batters to a .138/.271/.276 line. Soto backfills a role in the Mets bullpen missing since top lefty A.J. Minter suffered a season-ending lat injury in May. In exchange, the Orioles receive Class AAA right-hander Cameron Foster and Class A righty Wellington Aracena. A breakdown of the deal: Gregory Soto trade grades Not a bad pickup given the Mets' relatively urgent need for a lefty amid a market that will only tighten leading up to the July 31 trade deadline. Soto is a veteran situational guy who was recently tabbed to fill in closer duties after Orioles fireballer Felix Bautista went on the injured list; Soto saved Thursday's game at Cleveland in his last appearance for Baltimore. Yet in this three-batter minimum era, Soto may be exposed against the deep lineups among NL contenders. Opposing right-handers are getting on base at a .371 clip against him, with a .726 OPS, although he's yet to yield a homer to a right-handed batter. He pitches largely off a 96 mph fastball and excels at eliciting weak contact, with an elite 4.3% barrel percentage. It's a totally OK pickup. The distress sale continues at Camden Yards, as Soto joins righty Bryan Baker (traded to Tampa Bay) in a parade of exiting players likely to include All-Star slugger Ryan O'Hearn and right-handed starters Charlie Morton and Zach Eflin. In Foster, 26, they get a right-hander who likely will join Baltimore's bullpen almost immediately, as he pitched to a 0.83 WHIP at Class AA and recently earned a promotion to AAA. He's struck out 9.4 batters per nine innings since getting selected in the 2022 14th round out of McNeese State. Aracena, 20, is a bit more of a lottery ticket, having spent the entire season at the Mets' Florida complex league affiliate in Port St. Lucie. He's shown well, however, striking out 84 in 64 innings (nine starts and eight relief appearances) on the strength of fastball that's touched 99 mph. He should land on an Orioles full-season affiliate club. Neither pitcher was ranked among the Mets' top 30 prospects by Baseball America. Gregory Soto trade details New York Mets receive Baltimore Orioles receive Gregory Soto contract Gregory Soto is making $5.35 million this season and is eligible for free agency at year's end.

MLS suspends Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba for skipping All-Star Game
Associated Press FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Inter Miami's Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba were suspended one match by Major League Soccer for skipping its All-Star Game, the league announced Friday. Messi and Alba did not suit up for the match between the MLS and Liga MX of Mexico despite being voted to the game. Messi did not play to rest amid a packed schedule and Alba was dealing with a previous injury. Per MLS rules, any player who doesn't participate in the All-Star Game without prior approval from the league is ineligible to compete in their club's next match. The players will miss Miami's home match Saturday against FC Cincinnati, which sits atop the Eastern Conference standings. As Inter Miami awaited the league's decision, both Messi and Alba practiced with the club on Friday in anticipation of playing in Saturday's match. 'I know Lionel Messi loves this league,' said MLS Commissioner Don Garber. "I don't think there's a player — or anyone — who has done more for Major League Soccer than Messi. I fully understand, respect, and admire his commitment to Inter Miami, and I respect his decision. 'Unfortunately, we have a long-standing policy regarding participation in the All-Star Game, and we had to enforce it. It was a very difficult decision.' Garber added that the league will re-evaluate the policy and work with players to "determine how the rule should evolve.' ___ AP soccer: recommended Item 1 of 1 in this topic
