&lt;p&gt;It was reported earlier in the week that the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-falcons&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Atlanta Falcons&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; were likely franchise-tagging &lt;strong&gt;Kyle Pitts&lt;/strong&gt; this season as they looked for a new, long-term deal. However, new reports might indicate there is a slight change on the original plans.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Per Josh Kendall of The Athletic, people should &lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;expect Kyle Pitts to play this season on the franchise tag.&lt;/strong&gt;”&lt;/em&gt; Hence, changing the plans of looking for a long-term deal while the season plays out.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kendall says &lt;em&gt;“the vibe Atlanta is giving when it comes to Pitts”&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;is not precisely one of a team looking to lock up a star for the future. &lt;/strong&gt;Rather, the Falcons might be giving Pitts a prove-it-or-leave year with the franchise tag. While Pitts has certainly been underwhelming, the fact is 2025 was arguably his best year, but the Falcons are, apparently, looking for sustained success.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Stefanski loves tight ends, but there is a key flaw on Pitts&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;While many can point to consistency, &lt;strong&gt;the reality is Stefanski could bring the best of Pitts in the receiving aspect&lt;/strong&gt;. Schematically, Stefanski will get Pitts good looks and take him to another level if the tight end manages to get rhythm going.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/01/31124927/kevin-stefanski-2-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;Kevin Stefanski HC&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-571138&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Kevin Stefanski speaks to the media.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-stefanski&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Stefanski&lt;/a&gt; also uses plenty of 12 personnel because he loves to run the ball. &lt;strong&gt;Pitts isn’t exactly the best blocker there is.&lt;/strong&gt; While Pitts’ run-blocking grades improved to a career-high in 2025, he still struggles with strength and sustaining blocks against elite NFL edge defenders. Hence, that’s also a key area to improve if he wants to prove to Stefanski that he is the man for the job.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/dolphins-might-get-another-option-to-replace-tua-tagovailoa-with-kirk-cousins-set-to-be-released-by-falcons&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Pitts could go as one of the biggest ‘What if’ cases in NFL history&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Labeled as a “&lt;em&gt;unicorn&lt;/em&gt;” during his college days, the Falcons used a fourth overall pick to get Pitts. &lt;strong&gt;Fast forward and he only produced during his rookie season&lt;/strong&gt;. After that, he has been a storyline to follow, yet never breaking through. While 2025 showed glimpses of his full potential, the fact is Pitts’ hype was so high, that expectations were that he was going to be among the very best tight ends in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;69a20ae5d1eb01dac3090f58&quot; data-title=&quot;Will Pitts secure a long-term deal with the Falcons?&quot; data-options=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In recent weeks, Jeremiyah Love has been mentioned as a strong possibility for Andy Reid and the Chiefs with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Now, during an interview with Rich Eisen, the star running back answered if that’s something he would be up for. Playing alongside &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes&quot;&gt;Patrick Mahomes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Yes. I’d be close to home. I would be, especially playing with Patrick Mahomes. I feel like he is the best quarterback as of right now. In the league, he’s the top one. So, it would be an honor to play with him.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs&quot;&gt;Kansas City Chiefs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; need a running back after Isiah Pacheco did not meet expectations. Love had a great college football career with Notre Dame and could have an immediate impact for Mahomes.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;An amazing offense for Patrick Mahomes in 2026&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;If Jeremiyah Love falls to the No. 9 pick, which seems unlikely, the Chiefs could have one of the best offenses in the NFL: Patrick Mahomes, Love, Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and, if he decides to return, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/travis-kelce&quot;&gt;Travis Kelce&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;h2&gt;A huge 2026 NFL Draft for the Chiefs&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Because of their success in recent years winning or playing in the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl&quot;&gt;Super Bowl&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, the Chiefs usually selected after the 30th pick in the Draft. Now, after a disappointing 2025 season with a 6-11 record, this Top 10 pick could change the future of the franchise. Jeremiyah Love is looming to help Patrick Mahomes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shedeur-sanders&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Shedeur Sanders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has had to deal with plenty of competition before ending the last &lt;strong&gt;NFL&lt;/strong&gt; season as the starting quarterback of the &lt;strong&gt;Cleveland Browns&lt;/strong&gt;. However, rumors now say that the team could be eyeing to draft &lt;strong&gt;Carson Beck&lt;/strong&gt;, and he has spoken about it.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The rumors are starting to heat up for two reasons. &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/browns-are-not-ready-to-name-shedeur-sanders-starting-qb-for-2026&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;New head coach Todd Monken said there’s open competition for the QB1 job&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;the other is because Monken and Beck go way back, &lt;/strong&gt;and the relationship might play a factor. Beck himself said it.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;When asked if he would like getting drafted by the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Browns&lt;/a&gt;, Beck said, &lt;em&gt;“That would obviously be super cool. Any team that’s going to draft me, I’m super grateful for the opportunity, but &lt;strong&gt;if coach Monken were to be my coach again, obviously I really enjoyed him being my coach at the University of Georgia&lt;/strong&gt;, and what I was able learn from him there. &lt;strong&gt;So, I’d be super stoked&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Beck had his best college season in 2025&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In six college seasons, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/carson-beck&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Beck&lt;/a&gt; passed for 11,725 yards with 88 touchdowns and 32 interceptions. He had plenty of ups and downs, hence the six collegiate seasons. Beck acknowledged that, &lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;Obviously, it feels like I was in college forever, but again, everybody’s path is different&lt;/strong&gt;. I’m truly blessed and grateful that my path went the way it did.”&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-embed__wrapper&quot;&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;ck-twitter&quot;&gt;&lt;blockquote class=&quot;twitter-tweet&quot; data-width=&quot;500&quot; data-dnt=&quot;true&quot;&gt;&lt;p lang=&quot;en&quot; dir=&quot;ltr&quot;&gt;CARSON BECK TAKES THE LEAD. TOUCHDOWN&lt;a href=&quot;https://t.co/WzGHftkJ8l&quot;&gt;pic.twitter.com/WzGHftkJ8l&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;— Dov Kleiman (@NFL_DovKleiman) &lt;a href=&quot;https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/2009481176608866493?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&quot;&gt;January 9, 2026&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;script async=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js&quot; charset=&quot;utf-8&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;After spending five years at Georgia, Beck transferred to Miami (FL). He guided the Hurricanes to the National Championship game in a losing effort to the Indiana Hoosiers. &lt;strong&gt;Still, he led the ACC in completions (338), pass completion percentage (72%), and passer rating (157).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/fernando-mendoza-gives-stern-warning-to-raiders-anything-can-happen&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Beck’s projection for the 2026 NFL Draft&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt; Mock Draft Database, Beck is ranked 99th on the board. &lt;strong&gt;This puts Beck as a late third-round to early fourth-round pick&lt;/strong&gt;, this also leaves Beck as the No. 6 quarterback in his class.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Shedeur Sanders was scheduled to become the QB1 of the Browns, but Beck’s arrival could make the QB competition all the more wide open. &lt;strong&gt;Beck has worked with Monken and that instantly puts him in a good position to compete&lt;/strong&gt;. Also, second-year QB Dillon Gabriel is also on the roster trying to elevate his stock.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fernando-mendoza&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Fernando Mendoza&lt;/a&gt; and Ty Simpson&lt;/strong&gt; are widely regarded as the &lt;strong&gt;top two quarterback prospects&lt;/strong&gt; in the 2026 NFL Draft. With the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Las Vegas Raiders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in need of a long-term answer at the position, the &lt;strong&gt;former Alabama standout has now made an appealing pitch to the franchise&lt;/strong&gt; in hopes of becoming the No. 1 overall pick.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In just a few months, several college stars will find out whether their NFL dreams will become reality. Ty Simpson is among them, &lt;strong&gt;eager to take the next step in his career&lt;/strong&gt; and prove he can succeed at the professional level.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Although Simpson is currently &lt;strong&gt;viewed as the second-best quarterback prospect behind Mendoza&lt;/strong&gt;, he firmly believes he has what it takes to be considered the best in the class.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Ty Simpson sends strong message to NFL teams ahead of 2026 Draft&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; represents a &lt;strong&gt;life-changing opportunity for college players&lt;/strong&gt;. Draft position matters — not only financially, but also in terms of opportunity, expectations, and long-term development.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Simpson is currently projected as a &lt;strong&gt;top-two quarterback prospect&lt;/strong&gt; and around the &lt;strong&gt;No. 33 overall player&lt;/strong&gt; on many boards. However, he has made it clear he believes he belongs in the first round — and &lt;strong&gt;potentially even in contention for the No. 1 overall selection&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“There was no question at all where I was going,”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Simpson said about his decision to enter the 2026 NFL Draft. &lt;em&gt;“I was going to the draft. I felt like I was ready.&lt;strong&gt; I know that I’m ready, I know I’m ready to lead a franchise.&lt;/strong&gt;”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nfl/fernando-mendoza-opens-up-on-tom-brady-amid-rumors-of-raiders-picking-the-heisman-winner&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;h2&gt;Simpson has real first-round potential&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;While being ranked No. 33 overall could place him early in the second round, &lt;strong&gt;Simpson’s draft stock could rise significantly&lt;/strong&gt; due to the &lt;strong&gt;number of quarterback-needy teams across the league&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Beyond the Raiders, who hold the first overall pick, franchises such as the &lt;strong&gt;Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and Arizona Cardinals&lt;/strong&gt; are all reportedly evaluating quarterback options. If those teams prioritize the position, Simpson could very well hear his name called in the first round — and potentially reshape the quarterback landscape of the 2026 draft.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If there is a player with a chip on its shoulder coming into the &lt;strong&gt;2026 NFL Draft&lt;/strong&gt;, it’s &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vanderbilt&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;Vanderbilt&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;quarterback &lt;strong&gt;Diego Pavia&lt;/strong&gt;. Always regarded like an underdog due to his size, he has turned into quite a pitbull, stocky, aggressive, and with a tough mentality. He is now dismissing the doubters quite vehemently.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;When Pavia didn’t win the Heisman, &lt;strong&gt;Pavia said, &lt;em&gt;“F— all the voters&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;.&lt;strong&gt;” &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;While he apologized for that, the fact is Pavia holds grudges against the ones who doubt him. Speaking on Friday at the combine, he was asked about people worrying about his size, given that Pavia stands at 5’9″ tall, according to his measurements in the Senior Bowl. &lt;strong&gt;That would put him below Bryce Young and Kyler Murray as the shortest QB in the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nfl&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/a&gt;. Young and Murray stand at 5’10” and have struggled&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Still, Pavia is confident, saying, &lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;I would just say turn on the tape&lt;/strong&gt;. It’s not like we’re not playing these guys who are going first round, second round on Saturdays in the SEC. So, I know the SEC and the Big Ten probably have the most guys drafted in the first and second round. So, &lt;strong&gt;we’re playing those guys and ain’t nothing going to change&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Pavia is short, but he is very physical&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Contrary to Young and Murray, who have struggled with contact during their carees, &lt;strong&gt;Pavia doesn’t shy away from it and he will try to bulldoze the defenders before going down&lt;/strong&gt;. His build is more stocky and strong than Young’s and Murray. Still, NFL teams don’t exactly love their QBs taking hits and/or struggling to see above the line of scrimmage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, Pavia says his skill set helps him beat the obstacles. &lt;em&gt;“I’ve seen a lot of football.&lt;strong&gt; I feel like I can process a defense really fast, get the ball where it needs to go, check us into good plays, stay out of bad plays&lt;/strong&gt;. And I feel like that’s how you stay on schedule [with] that second-and-6, third-and-short, that’s how you win football games.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Pavia’s projected spot in the NFL Draft&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer noopener&quot;&gt;2026 NFL Draft&lt;/a&gt; will take place on April, but we have combines, Pro Days, and plenty of more chances to elevate your stock before the draft comes into fruition. &lt;strong&gt;As for Pavia, his draft projection is all over the place, but on the lower side of things&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some mock drafts have him between the fifth and seventh round, while other scouts see him going undrafted&lt;/strong&gt;. Pavia is a big name and has a big personality. Hence, Pavia is likely to get chances, even if undrafted, to try and win a place in the NFL. However, once again, he will be an underdog to the highest of levels.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-phillies&quot;&gt;Philadelphia Phillies&lt;/a&gt; pitcher didn’t hesitate to turn down an invitation from &lt;strong&gt;Team USA&lt;/strong&gt; to join its roster, and it was none other than one of the club’s power arms. Jesus Luzardo made it clear he will only pitch for his national team, which is also expected to be loaded with MLB stars in the upcoming 2026 World Baseball Classic.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Luzardo declined the invitation, saying,&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; “I would only pitch for Venezuela,” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;as he revealed in an interview with Daniel Alvarez-Montes of El Extrabase. It’s worth noting that while Luzardo was born in Peru, his parents are Venezuelan, and he holds dual nationality.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Luzardo made his debut with Team Venezuela in the 2023 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-baseball-classic&quot;&gt;World Baseball Classic&lt;/a&gt;. On that occasion, he threw four innings in a single appearance, allowing no runs. It was a prime opportunity to showcase his talent to MLB teams, including the Phillies.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Does Team USA need Luzardo?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With the pitching depth Team USA is expected to have for the 2026 WBC, the invitation to Luzardo may have been &lt;strong&gt;more exploratory than essential. &lt;/strong&gt;With arms such as &lt;strong&gt;Clay Holmes, Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes&lt;/strong&gt;, among others, the staff already appears well stocked.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;wp-block-embed__wrapper&quot;&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Beyond its pitching strength, Team USA also boasts a formidable lineup that includes Bryce Harper, Luzardo’s teammate in Philadelphia, as well as sluggers Cal Raleigh and Aaron Judge. If the U.S. were to face Venezuela, containing that offense would be a major challenge.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Luzardo is just one of the pitchers Venezuela will be without in 2026. Former teammate &lt;strong&gt;Ranger Suarez is expected to represent Venezuela in the tournament&lt;/strong&gt;. Luzardo had previously explained why he would not participate, saying in January:&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Going into a free-agency year, I made the decision that, unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to pitch in the Classic&lt;strong&gt;. I want to take my time, take a slow spring training, fully get ready with the team,&lt;/strong&gt; make sure my body bounced back after a career high in innings.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Phillies’ Jesus Luzardo shuts down Team USA invite ahead of 2026 WBC

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-phillies&quot;&gt;Philadelphia Phillies&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; have faced important roster questions over the past two offseasons, and &lt;strong&gt;Alec Bohm&lt;/strong&gt; has often found himself at the center of trade speculation. The All-Star third baseman is entering the final year of his contract, adding another layer of uncertainty to his future in Philadelphia.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;This winter brought even more attention when the Phillies made a serious push to sign infielder &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-bichette&quot;&gt;Bo Bichette&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Had the move materialized differently, it could have significantly impacted Bohm’s role with the team. Instead, he now returns as the projected everyday starter for a club with championship expectations.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;“We’re not dumb as players,”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; Bohm said in an interview with Ken Rosenthal of &lt;em&gt;The Athletic&lt;/em&gt;. &lt;em&gt;“You start to add things up. Obviously, this time (the talk) ended up being true. They were seriously pursuing him (Bichette). For me, at the end of the day, give me a big-league uniform, and I’ll go try to help the team win.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Uncertainty still surrounds his future&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The situation did not completely settle once Bichette signed with the New York Mets&lt;/strong&gt;. Philadelphia also has highly regarded infield prospect &lt;strong&gt;Aidan Miller &lt;/strong&gt;progressing through the system, and he could be ready for the majors as soon as next season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/27134552/alex-bohm-phillies-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-588008&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Alec Bohm #28 of the Phillies follows through on a swing. Mike Carlson/Getty Images&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bohm understands the business side of baseball &lt;/strong&gt;and knows this year could determine what comes next in his career. Still, he is focused on staying present rather than looking too far ahead.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/mlb/ny-mets-jorge-polanco-makes-candid-admission-about-transition-to-first-base&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I’m trying to keep it as far off in the distance as possible. So much can change between now and then&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,” Bohm said. “&lt;em&gt;A 162-game season is a long time. I don’t want to spend every day thinking about the end of the season.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Pressure to deliver in 2026&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Beyond the roster uncertainty, &lt;strong&gt;Bohm also faces the pressure of helping a Phillies team that has fallen short in the postseason four straight years&lt;/strong&gt;. Expectations remain high, and every veteran player will be under scrutiny.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;69a1e715d1eb01dac3090f56&quot; data-title=&quot;Will Alec Bohm remain with the Phillies beyond this season?&quot; data-options=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;If Bohm can channel the outside noise into production, 2026 could become one of the most important seasons of his career — both for his future and for a Phillies team trying to take the final step toward a championship.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/atlanta-braves&quot;&gt;Atlanta Braves&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; approach 2026 with a payroll shaped by years of strategic extensions and roster continuity. Core players remain under multi-year agreements, giving the club a stable but heavily committed salary base.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Those &lt;strong&gt;long-term contracts, combined with arbitration-eligible raises&lt;/strong&gt;, steadily influence the team’s overall spending level. Each &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb&quot;&gt;MLB&lt;/a&gt; offseason adjustment subtly shifts the balance between flexibility and investment.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With competitive balance tax considerations in play, &lt;strong&gt;their 2026 salary picture reflects both ambition and calculation&lt;/strong&gt;. The numbers outline a contender’s framework, yet leave room for questions about how far the front office is willing to go if the season demands more.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Atlanta Braves payroll in 2026&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Atlanta Braves enter 2026 with a hefty payroll that ranks near the top of MLB. Spotrac’s most recent salary tracker lists &lt;strong&gt;their total MLB payroll at about $246 million&lt;/strong&gt;, placing them among the league’s biggest spenders.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/27132622/Matt-Olson-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-587995&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Matt Olson of the Braves poses for a photo during Spring Training photo day in 2026 (Source: Chris Graythen/Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;At the heart of that figure are several high-value contracts. Cornerstone players like &lt;strong&gt;Austin Riley&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Matt Olson&lt;/strong&gt; each earn roughly $22 million, while &lt;strong&gt;Ha-seong Kim&lt;/strong&gt;’s one-year, $20 million deal adds significant salary room to the mix. Veteran arms like &lt;strong&gt;Spencer Strider &lt;/strong&gt;and &lt;strong&gt;Chris Sale&lt;/strong&gt; are also among the higher-paid pitchers.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Depth pieces and rotation stalwarts contribute as well: All-Star catcher &lt;strong&gt;Sean Murphy&lt;/strong&gt; is under a multi-year pact with consistent annual pay, and established relievers such as &lt;strong&gt;Raisel Iglesias and Robert Suarez&lt;/strong&gt; represent notable figures in the bullpen ranks.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Beyond the prominent names,&lt;strong&gt; a host of arbitration-eligible players and mid-tier contracts help push the overall tally higher&lt;/strong&gt;. Those agreements, many of which are locked in before the official season begins, combine with guaranteed money to shape Atlanta’s competitive balance tax footprint.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets&quot;&gt;New York Mets&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; added a major piece to their pitching staff, and &lt;strong&gt;Freddy Peralta&lt;/strong&gt; made it clear he is fully embracing the opportunity. Shortly after the move became official, the veteran right-hander shared an emotional message about beginning this new chapter in New York.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Peralta did not hide his excitement about joining a contender &lt;/strong&gt;with high expectations entering the 2026 season. The 29-year-old understands both the spotlight and the opportunity that come with pitching in a major market.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“&lt;em&gt;I’m thrilled to be here! Honestly, it’s emotional and I’m happy to join the Mets organization.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; I’m excited to see what this season has in store. We got a squad, and some nasty pitchers. I can’t wait!”&lt;/em&gt; Peralta said, via Master Flip on X.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Coming off a career year&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Peralta arrives in New York after delivering the best season of his career with the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/milwaukee-brewers&quot;&gt;Milwaukee Brewers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Following the departure of &lt;strong&gt;Corbin Burnes&lt;/strong&gt;, he stepped into the ace role and responded with elite production.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/27124854/freddy-peralta-mets-1-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-587951&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;&amp;nbsp;Freddy Peralta #51 of the New York Mets looks on during spring training workouts. Rich Storry/Getty Images&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Last season, Peralta posted a &lt;strong&gt;2.70 ERA with 204 strikeouts and a 1.075 WHIP across 176 2/3 innings.&lt;/strong&gt; He provided consistency at the top of the rotation and proved he could handle added responsibility.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;Motivation ahead of free agency&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With free agency approaching after the 2026 season,&lt;strong&gt; Peralta has added incentive to perform at a high level.&lt;/strong&gt; A strong campaign in New York could significantly impact his long-term future.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;69a1dbe7d1eb01dac3090f55&quot; data-title=&quot;How impactful will Freddy Peralta be for the Mets this season?&quot; data-options=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-blue-jays&quot;&gt;Toronto Blue Jays&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are shaping their 2026 payroll around both established stars and rising commitments, with numbers that could put them near the upper tier of &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/mlb&quot;&gt;MLB&lt;/a&gt; spending. Their financial picture is anything but static…&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Long-term deals for players like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vladimir-guerrero-jr&quot;&gt;Vladimir Guerrero Jr.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dylan-cease&quot;&gt;Dylan Cease&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; anchor the ledger, while arbitration-eligible roster members contribute a rising salary base that quietly pushes total obligations higher.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;At the same time, luxury tax thresholds loom on the horizon. Whether the Blue Jays ease back under the CBT line or push into higher tiers will depend on how this mix of contracts and payroll decisions plays out as the season approaches.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;How much is the Toronto Blue Jays payroll in 2026?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The Toronto Blue Jays are projected to carry one of the heftiest payrolls in Major League Baseball for the 2026 season, with estimates placing &lt;strong&gt;their total well above $300 million for salary and luxury tax purposes&lt;/strong&gt;, as Spotrac reported.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/27115056/Ernie-Clement-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-587923&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Ernie Clement of the Blue Jays hits a triple during a spring training game in 2026 (Source: Mark Taylor/Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;A large portion of that figure stems from the massive, long-term contract of &lt;strong&gt;Vladimir Guerrero Jr.&lt;/strong&gt;, whose &lt;strong&gt;14-year, $500 million extension&lt;/strong&gt; begins in 2026 with an &lt;strong&gt;annual salary over $35 million&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Alongside his deal, other high-value players such as &lt;strong&gt;Dylan Cease&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kevin-gausman&quot;&gt;Kevin Gausman&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;and&lt;strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/george-springer&quot;&gt;George Springer&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; command multi-million dollar salaries, anchoring the payroll even before arbitration raises are tallied.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Arbitration-eligible contributors and mid-tier veteran contracts&lt;/strong&gt; add further layers to the financial picture. MLB teams generally include these figures when calculating competitive balance tax obligations, meaning their total payroll could trigger significant luxury tax implications.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt;‘&lt;strong&gt;s&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Inter Miami&lt;/strong&gt; did not begin their &lt;strong&gt;MLS&lt;/strong&gt; Cup title defense on a high note, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lafc-vs-inter-miami-live-lionel-messi-starts-cup-title-defense-in-2026-mls-debut&quot;&gt;falling 3-0 to LAFC&lt;/a&gt; on Saturday. The heavy defeat raised questions about the squad’s depth despite an aggressive winter transfer window, prompting co-owner &lt;strong&gt;Jorge Mas&lt;/strong&gt; to clarify the club’s stance on future signings.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Speaking at a FIFA event in Miami on Wednesday, Mas addressed reporters regarding the potential for new arrivals. Although the Herons recently &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/inter-miami-announce-useful-move-to-help-lionel-messi-repeat-mls-title-in-2026&quot;&gt;acquired an international roster slot&lt;/a&gt; from the New England Revolution, Mas indicated that further moves are &lt;strong&gt;unlikely&lt;/strong&gt;. “&lt;em&gt;The transfer market is open and some things are being considered, &lt;strong&gt;but I’m not anticipating any more signings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,” Mas stated, via Inter Miami insider Jose Armando.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Mas emphasized that the club successfully secured nearly all of their primary targets during the busiest window in franchise history. “&lt;em&gt;We entered the winter window with a goal. We were pursuing seven players, and of those seven, &lt;strong&gt;we were able to acquire six&lt;/strong&gt;,&lt;/em&gt;” he added. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;For the 2026 campaign, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami&quot;&gt;Inter Miami&lt;/a&gt; have significantly bolstered their ranks in what has been the &lt;strong&gt;busiest transfer window in franchise’s history&lt;/strong&gt;. The new arrivals include &lt;strong&gt;German Berterame, Luis Barraza, David Ayala, Dayne St. Clair, Micael, Sergio Reguilon, Facundo Mura&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Daniel Pinter&lt;/strong&gt;. Additionally, &lt;strong&gt;Tadeo&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Allende&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Rocco Rios Novo&lt;/strong&gt; have returned to Florida on permanent deals following the expiration of their loan spells last season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/27180137/berterame-1-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-588210&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;German Berterame of Inter Miami.

&lt;h2&gt;Inter Miami eye redemption in Florida Derby&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;It was a difficult debut for Javier Mascherano’s team, as LAFC—led by a standout performance from Son Heung-min—outclassed the Florida side at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. &lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/lionel-messi-vs-antoine-griezmann-atletico-madrid-star-reportedly-close-to-joining-inter-miamis-mls-rivals&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;However, the Herons have already taken steps to regain momentum, &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/independiente-del-valle-vs-inter-miami-live-lionel-messi-visits-puerto-rico-after-2026-mls-debut-loss&quot;&gt;securing a 2-1 friendly victory over Independiente del Valle&lt;/a&gt; in Puerto Rico this Thursday, featuring a second-half &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/video-lionel-messi-scores-from-penalty-for-inter-miami-vs-independiente-del-valle-in-friendly&quot;&gt;penalty from Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Messi and his teammates are now preparing for a high-stakes &lt;strong&gt;Florida Derby&lt;/strong&gt; against &lt;strong&gt;Orlando City&lt;/strong&gt; this &lt;strong&gt;Sunday, March 1&lt;/strong&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;As &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi&quot;&gt;Lionel Messi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Argentina&lt;/strong&gt; prepare for the &lt;strong&gt;2026 World Cup&lt;/strong&gt;, where they will look to defend the title they secured at Qatar 2022, the squad have been hit by a significant setback. A member of the national team has suffered a major injury and will not recover in time for the tournament set to take place across the United States, Mexico, and Canada.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The player in question is Racing Club forward &lt;strong&gt;Valentin Carboni&lt;/strong&gt;, who suffered a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (&lt;strong&gt;ACL&lt;/strong&gt;) and a partial rupture of the lateral collateral ligament (&lt;strong&gt;LCL&lt;/strong&gt;) in his right knee during a training session with the Argentine team.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Racing Club confirmed the diagnosis in an official statement via X (formerly Twitter): “&lt;em&gt;In Friday’s training session, Valentín Carboni suffered a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament and a partial rupture of the lateral collateral ligament of the right knee. &lt;strong&gt;The player will undergo surgery in the coming days&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;“. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;While a specific recovery timeline was not disclosed, these types of injuries typically require &lt;strong&gt;six to eight months of rehabilitation&lt;/strong&gt;, making it impossible for Carboni to be fit for Lionel Scaloni’s &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup&quot;&gt;World Cup&lt;/a&gt; roster.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full is-resized&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/27171051/carboni-650x365.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-588171&quot; width=&quot;650&quot; height=&quot;365&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Valentin Carboni of Argentina during a 2024 Copa America game. (Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;A tactical option for Scaloni’s future plans&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;At just 19 years old, Carboni became the breakout story of Scaloni’s senior squad when he was surprisingly called up for the friendlies leading into the &lt;strong&gt;2024 Copa America&lt;/strong&gt;. At the time, the young forward was enjoying a stellar loan spell with &lt;strong&gt;AC Monza&lt;/strong&gt; in Italy’s Serie A, where his creative flair caught the eye of the national team scouts.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/lionel-messis-key-argentina-teammate-reportedly-gets-encouraging-injury-update-ahead-of-2026-finalissima&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;His impact was immediate, earning a start and playing 62 minutes in a 4-1 friendly victory over Guatemala. His performance left a lasting impression on Lionel Messi, who was quick to praise his young teammate. “&lt;em&gt;I had seen him in the U-20s, &lt;strong&gt;but he has grown immensely&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,” Messi said after the match. “&lt;em&gt;He is a different kind of player—much more physically developed and &lt;strong&gt;possessing incredible quality&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;“.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Despite his limited international experience, Carboni’s potential secured him a spot on the final 2024 Copa America roster. He featured for &lt;strong&gt;13 minutes&lt;/strong&gt; in the group-stage win over Peru, eventually earning a winner’s medal as &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/argentina&quot;&gt;Argentina&lt;/a&gt; were crowned champions. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Since then, he has remained a consistent Plan B for Scaloni, who—despite not including him in recent matchday squads—had been closely monitoring his evolution at Racing Club as a potential X-factor for the 2026 World Cup.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Mounting injury concerns for Argentina&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;With this devastating news, Carboni joins &lt;strong&gt;Juan Foyth&lt;/strong&gt; as the latest player &lt;strong&gt;confirmed to miss the 2026 World Cup&lt;/strong&gt;. Foyth, the versatile Villarreal defender, was previously ruled out of the tournament after suffering a &lt;strong&gt;ruptured Achilles tendon&lt;/strong&gt; earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Amidst a growing injury crisis, manager Scaloni and his staff are waiting for positive updates on several other key figures. &lt;strong&gt;Giovani Lo Celso, Nicolas Gonzalez, Nicolas Tagliafico, Leandro Paredes&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Lautaro Martinez&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Lisandro Martinez&lt;/strong&gt; are all currently sidelined with various ailments. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, unlike the cases of Carboni and Foyth, their respective clubs remain optimistic, indicating that these players &lt;strong&gt;are expected to return to action in the coming weeks&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With the &lt;strong&gt;2026 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/world-cup&quot;&gt;World Cup&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; fast approaching, international attention has turned toward the unfolding situation in &lt;strong&gt;Mexico&lt;/strong&gt;, which is set to co-host the tournament alongside the &lt;strong&gt;United States&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Canada&lt;/strong&gt;. Amidst this backdrop, &lt;strong&gt;FIFA&lt;/strong&gt; have reportedly reached a definitive decision regarding the status of the host nation.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Due to a series of security incidents that have triggered alerts across the country, speculation had intensified that the host cities of &lt;strong&gt;Guadalajara, Monterrey&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mexico&quot;&gt;Mexico&lt;/a&gt; City&lt;/strong&gt; were in jeopardy for the upcoming tournament. Some reports even suggested that matches could be relocated to existing venues in the U.S. or Canada.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, according to reports from ESPN, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fifa&quot;&gt;FIFA&lt;/a&gt; President Gianni Infantino has confirmed that no changes will be made to the tournament’s organization&lt;/strong&gt;. This decision follows a high-level discussion with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, in which the governing body was reassured of the nation’s commitment to safety and infrastructure for the global event.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;“&lt;em&gt;I had an excellent conversation today with the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum. &lt;strong&gt;I reiterated our full confidence in the host country, and we expect them to host all scheduled matches&lt;/strong&gt; in what will be the most inclusive and greatest World Cup in history&lt;/em&gt;“, Infantino stated via FIFA’s official channels, according to ESPN.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/27161010/fifa-president-sheinbaum-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-588144&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum greets FIFA President Gianni Infantino. (Getty Images)&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;President Sheinbaum reaffirms Mexico’s World Cup commitment&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Mexican President &lt;strong&gt;Claudia Sheinbaum&lt;/strong&gt; confirmed via her X (formerly Twitter) account that she held a productive phone call with Infantino to continue preparations for the 2026 World Cup. During the discussion, she provided guarantees regarding the security measures being implemented for the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/soccer/fifa-president-gianni-infantino-breaks-silence-on-mexico-situation-ahead-of-2026-world-cup&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I spoke by telephone with the President of FIFA, Gianni Infantino; we continue to work as we have been to successfully carry out the 2026 FIFA World Cup. &lt;strong&gt;We have confirmed the confidence in our country&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,” Sheinbaum stated publicly, signaling that the Mexican government remain fully committed to the hosting duties.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Before the World Cup begins, Mexico will face a significant test as Monterrey and Guadalajara host four crucial &lt;strong&gt;Inter-Confederation Playoff fixtures&lt;/strong&gt;. These matches will serve as a trial run for tournament operations while determining the final teams to join the competition.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;On one side of the bracket, &lt;strong&gt;New Caledonia&lt;/strong&gt; will face &lt;strong&gt;Jamaica&lt;/strong&gt; on &lt;strong&gt;Thursday, March 26&lt;/strong&gt;, in &lt;strong&gt;Guadalajara&lt;/strong&gt;. The winner of this initial clash will then advance to take on the &lt;strong&gt;Republic of the Congo&lt;/strong&gt; for a coveted spot in &lt;strong&gt;Group K&lt;/strong&gt; of the 2026 World Cup.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, the other pathway features a showdown between &lt;strong&gt;Bolivia&lt;/strong&gt; and &lt;strong&gt;Suriname&lt;/strong&gt;, which is scheduled for the same day in &lt;strong&gt;Monterrey&lt;/strong&gt;. The winner of that match will progress to a final qualifying round against Iraq to determine which side will round out &lt;strong&gt;Group I&lt;/strong&gt; of the global tournament.&lt;/p&gt;

SOCCER

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sidney-crosby&quot;&gt;Sidney Crosby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; confirmed that, after not being able to play with Team Canada in the gold medal game of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/winter-olympics&quot;&gt;2026 Winter Olympics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, all his attention is focused on recovering to have a chance to be available for the Stanley Cup playoffs with the Penguins.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Yeah, I mean, it’s why we play. Obviously, the Olympics was a great opportunity and experience, but, I think you shift your focus to exactly that. Playing in the playoffs.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-penguins&quot;&gt;Pittsburgh Penguins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; control their destiny to clinch a spot in the postseason and, at the moment, they are in a good position within the Metropolitan Division to achieve it. However, the schedule will become very difficult in the coming weeks as they face several contenders.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;How long will Sidney Crosby be out for?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Sidney Crosby will be out for at least one month according to official information released by the Penguins. Under this scenario, the legend’s goal is very clear: to return as soon as possible to help his teammates in a playoff push. &lt;em&gt;“It’s so special and so fun to be in those big games and play for that. So, yeah, that’s where my mind’s at.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;h2&gt;What injury did Sidney Crosby have in the Olympics?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Sidney Crosby has a lower body injury after the 2026 Winter Olympics. No further details have been given about the medical issue, and the only thing publicly known is the possible recovery timeline.&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nhl/sidney-crosby-sends-clear-message-to-nhl-about-allowing-players-to-participate-in-winter-olympics-after-injury&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

NHL News: Sidney Crosby breaks silence to confirm if Penguins legend will miss 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs after injury

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sidney-crosby&quot;&gt;Sidney Crosby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; warned that anyone who believes the Penguins will fall in the NHL standings during his absence is very mistaken. The legend showed complete confidence in his teammates.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“I’m confident. I think we’ve shown it all year. We’ve had injuries and guys have steeped up to get to where we are at this point. I think it’s because of our team play. I don’t think it’s been just one person. I think it’s because collectively as a group we’ve found different ways to win and different guys have stepped up. So, as long as we continue that and understand that, I think we’ll give ourselves a good chance.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Crosby suffered a lower-body injury in the quarterfinals of the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/winter-olympics&quot;&gt;2026 Winter Olympics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; against Czechia. He was unable to return for the semifinals or the gold medal game, and the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-penguins&quot;&gt;Pittsburgh Penguins&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; officially announced that he will be out for four weeks.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Can the Penguins make the playoffs without Sidney Crosby?&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Yes. The Pittsburgh Penguins proved they are very much alive in the playoff race with a 4-1 victory over the New Jersey Devils in the NHL restart. Despite Crosby’s absence, the team continues to maintain an impressive pace.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;p&gt;The Pens are currently in second place in the Metropolitan Division with 72 points, which would give them a playoff spot. Everything indicates that Crosby would be recovered before the end of the regular season.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Given this scenario, the Penguins star pointed out that they must maintain their level, as Pittsburgh’s schedule is entering a very challenging stretch. &lt;em&gt;“It’s going to be an important stretch here next a little bit. A lot of teams are trying to get points in similar positions, but I’m just really confident.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nhl/sidney-crosby-injury-is-confirmed-by-penguins-legend-with-key-update-after-2026-winter-olympics&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Sidney Crosby sends message to Connor McDavid, Mitch Marner, Nathan MacKinnon and Team Canada after tough decision in 2026 Winter Olympics

Sidney Crosby issues strong warning to entire NHL about Penguins after 2026 Winter Olympics injury with Canada - Bolavip US

&lt;p&gt;Sidney Crosby’s recent injury at the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/winter-olympics&quot;&gt;2026 Winter Olympics&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; has once again sparked debate about whether the NHL should continue allowing its players to participate in the Games. The veteran suffered a lower-body injury while representing &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/canada&quot;&gt;Canada&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, forcing him to miss the gold medal game and raising concerns in Pittsburgh about the potential long-term impact on the Penguins’ season. For many executives and fans, the risk-reward balance of Olympic participation is now under the microscope.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;However, Crosby believes stars should keep going. &lt;em&gt;“It’s the Olympics. It’s an amazing experience just as an athlete, not just a hockey player. I think if you want to look at it just from the hockey perspective, I think it’s incredible. Just the product on the ice, I think the way that fans see the games and just how competitive it is. How it brings everyone together, I think it’s pretty amazing.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;Ultimately, Crosby’s stance highlights the emotional and cultural value of Olympic competition for elite players. While teams may worry about injuries and the strain of a condensed NHL calendar, stars like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sidney-crosby&quot;&gt;Sidney Crosby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; see international play as a defining part of their careers. Team Canada was a reflection of that, with names like &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/connor-mcdavid&quot;&gt;Connor McDavid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, Nathan MacKinnon, or Mitch Marner in the roster.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;NHL and a tough decision for the Olympics&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The NHL’s involvement in the Olympics has long sparked debate among teams, executives and fans. While the global stage offers unmatched exposure for the sport, it also interrupts the league calendar and places added physical demands on stars. As of now, NHL players are set to participate in the 2030 Winter Olympics.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        


&lt;p&gt;For players like Sidney Crosby, the conversation often comes down to risk versus reward. &lt;em&gt;“Obviously, injuries are part of the game and they come with that, especially at that level with the speed, the intensity and the physicality of the games, but, I think it’s great that guys have the opportunity to go and showcase.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;That balance is at the heart of the dilemma: the Olympic stage elevates the sport, but it also exposes athletes to injuries. Ultimately, the decision reflects a broader vision for the game’s growth. Allowing NHL players to compete in 2030 ensures that fans will once again witness the world’s best facing off under one banner, even if it comes with undeniable challenges.&lt;/p&gt;

Sidney Crosby's message about NHL players in the Olympics

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jt-miller&quot;&gt;J.T. Miller&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Mike Sullivan&lt;/strong&gt;, and &lt;strong&gt;Vincent Trocheck&lt;/strong&gt; had the time of their lives during the 2026 Winter Olympics. However, they are no longer on Team USA, and the &lt;strong&gt;New York Rangers&lt;/strong&gt;’ status quo is nowhere near as joyful and celebratory.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;In case the long faces around Madison Square Garden don’t tell the story, a glance at the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nhl&quot;&gt;NHL&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; standings should remind Miller and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-sullivan&quot;&gt;Sullivan&lt;/a&gt; of how dramatic things were before leaving for Milan. It’s time to turn the page, or at least give it a try. If New York won’t even give it a shot, its leaders should simply stay in the Fashion Capital of the World.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As Miller, Sullivan, and Trocheck got a taste of perhaps the most meaningful and rewarding hardware any NHL player could ever claim, they now hope to bring winds of change back to the building in the Big Apple. &lt;strong&gt;The mood has now shifted&lt;/strong&gt;. For Miller and company, it is all about the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers&quot;&gt;Rangers&lt;/a&gt; back home in New York City. Shortly after &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/ny-rangers-hc-mike-sullivan-issues-bold-reminder-for-j-t-miller-rest-of-the-team-as-nhl-resumes&quot;&gt;Sullivan issued a bold reminder for Miller and the Rangers&lt;/a&gt;, the captain returned the favor with a comment of his own.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“It’s why it was so special, and something we’re going to remember forever and have that to share, but &lt;strong&gt;we’re back to Rangers hockey now. Party’s over&lt;/strong&gt;, it’s time to focus, and we need to play some good hockey down the stretch,” &lt;/em&gt;Miller admitted to reporters, via&lt;em&gt; @SNYRangers&lt;/em&gt; on X.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/25130508/mike-sullivan-1-1-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;Mike Sullivan returns to NY Rangers after Olympics&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-586584&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Mike Sullivan at Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena in Milan, Italy.&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Miller and Rangers have struggled at home&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As demoralizing as the Broadway Blueshirts have been at home, the organization must still &lt;strong&gt;find a way to sell tickets at Madison Square Garden&lt;/strong&gt;. Miller’s statement may serve as hope for the fanbase in New York. Otherwise, fans would have little reason to attend games.&lt;/p&gt;


        

        

        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nhl/ny-rangers-learn-mike-sullivans-plans-for-the-future-after-clear-message-from-hc&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Given the way the season has unfolded in New York, home fans already know what they are signing up for when they arrive at 4 Pennsylvania Plaza in Midtown. Before the Olympic break, &lt;strong&gt;the Rangers were 6–15–4 at home&lt;/strong&gt;. Needless to say, that was—and remains—the worst home record in the Eastern Conference. It’s been the common theme all season long, &lt;strong&gt;what the Rangers do poorly, the Vancouver Canucks take to another level&lt;/strong&gt;. Thus, only the Canucks (6–17–5) have a worse home mark.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;As the season resumes, Sullivan and the Rangers know the &lt;strong&gt;Stanley Cup Playoffs are out of reach&lt;/strong&gt;, but at the very least, they hope to offer their fan base something more than a gut-wrenching spectacle at Madison Square Garden.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Rangers could set new records for worst home mark&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;They say home is where the heart is. For Miller and the Rangers, however, &lt;strong&gt;home is where most of their embarrassment has unfolded&lt;/strong&gt; during the 2025–26 NHL season. Coming out of the Olympic break, New York has 16 home games remaining. The Rangers must truly flip the script, or they risk posting one of the worst home records in franchise history.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/26184204/jt-miller-1-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;J.T. Miller arrives for a game&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-587686&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;J.T. Miller at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://records.nhl.com/nyr/overview/season-by-season-record&quot;&gt;NHL.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, the worst home mark in franchise history came during the 1943–44 season, when the Blueshirts won just four games on home ice. However, that was during a shortened 50-game schedule. In an 82-game campaign, the low &lt;strong&gt;was set in 2003–04&lt;/strong&gt;, when the team &lt;strong&gt;won only 11 games&lt;/strong&gt; at Madison Square Garden. &lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The last time New York recorded fewer than 10 home wins in a season was in 1964–65, with eight victories in 35 home games. Numbers do not lie: Sullivan, Miller, and the Rangers are walking a tightrope, with &lt;strong&gt;all signs pointing toward a franchise record of the wrong kind&lt;/strong&gt; in 2025–26.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;69a0ddb5d1eb01dac3090f45&quot; data-title=&quot;Should Mike Sullivan Return as the Rangers’ Head Coach in 2026–27?&quot; data-options=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

NY Rangers captain and Olympic gold medalist J.T. Miller sends clear message to Mike Sullivan, rest of the team

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mike-sullivan&quot;&gt;Mike Sullivan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and the &lt;strong&gt;New York Rangers&lt;/strong&gt; are determined to turn the tide after a disheartening first half to the &lt;strong&gt;NHL&lt;/strong&gt; season. Coming off the Olympic break, there is not really much room for the Rangers to keep sinking. The only way should be up.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers&quot;&gt;Rangers&lt;/a&gt; are set to be one of the &lt;strong&gt;main sellers going into the NHL trade deadline&lt;/strong&gt;. Pretty much everyone could be made available by the Blueshirts, as Sullivan and company acknowledge it’s time to start from scratch. Or as GM Chris Drury has put it time and again: retool.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;p&gt;On that note, reports suggest the &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nhl/ny-rangers-actively-shopping-former-first-round-pick-amid-vincent-trocheck-speculation&quot;&gt;Rangers are actively shopping a former first-round selection&lt;/a&gt; in defenseman &lt;strong&gt;Braden Schneider&lt;/strong&gt;. It’s clear New York is focusing on the future rather than the 2025-26 &lt;a href=&quot;https://bolavip.com/en/nhl&quot;&gt;NHL&lt;/a&gt; season. Still, Sullivan made it clear that the Rangers aren’t tanking nor throwing in the towel.&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;h2&gt;Sullivan’s answer&lt;/h2&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;It’s a little bit of both&lt;/strong&gt;,” &lt;/em&gt;Sullivan answered a question on whether he will prioritize winning games or developing prospects, via Vince Mercogliano of&lt;em&gt; The Athletic. “&lt;strong&gt;We’re going to try to win&lt;/strong&gt;. We’re going to try to compete. We’re going to try to hold the group accountable to a certain standard.&lt;/em&gt;“&lt;/p&gt;



&lt;figure class=&quot;wp-block-image size-full&quot;&gt;&lt;figure class=&quot;image&quot;&gt;&lt;img loading=&quot;lazy&quot; width=&quot;1920&quot; height=&quot;1080&quot; src=&quot;https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/02/22131936/mike-sullivan-3-1920x1080.webp&quot; alt=&quot;Mike Sullivan gives instructions&quot; class=&quot;wp-image-584990&quot;&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;figcaption&gt;Mike Sullivan of Team United States at Milano Santagiulia Ice Hockey Arena&lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;



&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;“&lt;strong&gt;And at the same time&lt;/strong&gt;, we’re going to do our best to gain a better &lt;strong&gt;understanding of what we have&lt;/strong&gt; and potentially to help us to make the right decisions about where we want to go moving forward. It’s not like a lot of the young players that we have haven’t been granted an opportunity to make a mark, so to speak. &lt;strong&gt;So we’ll continue to do that&lt;/strong&gt;.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;


        &lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_relatedlinks&quot; id=&quot;BUS#/nhl/ny-rangers-hc-mike-sullivan-issues-bold-reminder-for-j-t-miller-rest-of-the-team-as-nhl-resumes&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;Sullivan’s message is not surprising. The first-year head coach in New York City will not openly admit that the Rangers are angling to strengthen their draft position. Moreover, the players do not care about that—they want to win, and suggesting otherwise &lt;strong&gt;would send all the wrong messages&lt;/strong&gt; throughout the locker room. &lt;/p&gt;


&lt;div class=&quot;wp_fsn_poll&quot; id=&quot;69a0ce79d1eb01dac3090f41&quot; data-title=&quot;Who will finish in last place in the East?&quot; data-options=&quot;4&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
