- As of now, it appears Brendan Sorsby WILL get his NFL shot in 2027, but he'll have to sit out the entire 2026 season. The NFL, NFLPA, and a third party came to an agreement that Sorsby will be treated as entering the 2027 Draft fully, including the Senior Bowl, Combine, etc.
- And then there's Wilson Contreras, who may be in line for one of the biggest on-field Discipline Blotter situations in recent MLB history.
Contreras was thrown out of Monday night's game for mocking the umpire by tapping his helmet. Some might think it excessive, but the first-base umpire caught it and threw Contreras.
That was probably handled normally.
Tonight's won't be.
After being struck out by Cade Cavalli, Contreras heard what was believed to be "Sit down, boy!" from Cavalli. Contreras advanced toward Cavalli, benches clear in the argument, Contreras throws his helmet at Cavalli, and Contreras loses his helmet and attempts to swipe Cavalli twice with it.
Four people were eventually ejected.
Now, a couple of things to keep in mind before I give you my verdict:
- This is back-to-back ejections. Even managers, in my opinion, should be suspended a game under almost any circumstances for back-to-back ejections, before we get to anything else. But at least that happens with respect to managers from time to time.
- He was suspended six games just ten months ago for a large-scale fight.
I say 6-7-8 games, appeal MAYBE down to five. But then MLB makes it clear: Another large-scale event like this he starts, and the bidding starts either side of a month.
