The next closest to 3000 is Zach Greinke who is just 21 K's away. Next closest to Kershaw is John Smoltz with 3084.

Keshaw becomes the 20th pitcher in baseball history to record 3000 career strikeouts. He is only the 4th lefty to reach 3000 K's and only the 2nd to ever do it with only 1 team. Congratulations!

Burns 2nd career start for the Reds at Boston ends after just 1/3 of inning where he gave up 7 runs on 5 hits 5 of the runs were earned and the Reds are trailing 7-0 in the bottom of the 2nd inning.

Here is what the NFL s pored today’s trade. Steelers get: CB Jalen Ramsey, TE Jonnu Smith, 2027 seventh-round pick Dolphins get: S Minkah Fitzpatrick, 2027 fifth-round pick Steelers' grade: C Dolphins' grade: A Ramsey, 30, is generally considered to be on the decline. The financial compensation matters here. The Steelers are picking up nearly the entirety of Ramsey's tab -- the bulk of his $26.6 million in 2025 after giving him a light raise. That's a pretty hefty amount of money for him at this stage in his career -- and especially if he isn't playing outside cornerback.

Still not sure how much better this trade helps the Steelers Ramsey has caused issues at a couple of stops. Plus, the Steelers are having to pay about 7.5 million more than they were to owe Fitzpatrick and they still have the Watt contract to deal with. Then when you look at the stats not really any difference and probably if you look at their career numbers Fitzpatrick has put up better numbers. Check below: Ramsey- 9 years, 135 games, 534 tackles with 432 solo, 3 sacks, 24 interceptions 1 for a touchdown, 6 forced fumbles and 2 recovered. Fitzpatrick- 7 years, 106 games, 608 tackles, 400 solo, 0 sacks, 20 interceptions 4 for touchdowns, 5 forced fumbles with 5 recovered and 1 for a touchdown.

Going to have to move someone to safety to replace Fitzpatrick. They already have Porter Jr. at one corner and signed free agent Darius Slay in the offseason at the other corner. The Steelers also have the Dolphins their 5th round pick and got a 7th round pick from the Dolphins.

D. Wayne Lukas passed at his home in Louisville yesterday. He had a total of 15 triple crown wins. RIP

A sad day for baseball as Dave Parke "The Cobra" has passed away just a month before his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Parker had big years with the Pirates and Reds. Parker left such an impact that he’s a member of both the Pirates’ and Cincinnati Reds’ halls of fame. He was the 1978 NL MVP, when he led the majors in both batting average (.334) and OPS (.979), slammed 30 homers and earned an NL-best 7.0 WAR. RIP Big Dave!

A walk and a pinch hit double spoils the no-hitter with none out in the top of the 9th.

Also in his first 3 at bats Spencer Steer hit 3 homeruns.
