You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get you caught up.
The New Jersey Devils are making history in their front office, hiring Jessica Campbell as manager of player development. Campbell, a former assistant with the Seattle Kraken, becomes the first woman to hold a full-time coaching or development role in NHL history. Alongside her, veteran Panthers executive Bryan McCabe joins as vice president of prospect personnel. This is a significant rebuild of the Devils' development infrastructure.
Shifting to baseball, the hot stove is already burning before the season even ends. Multiple teams are staring down managerial and front office changes this offseason, and the New York Mets are reportedly setting their sights high. According to Sporting News, the Mets are eyeing a future Hall of Famer to take over the dugout. No name has been confirmed, but the Mets clearly want a marquee hire to match their marquee payroll.
And in a deal that signals ESPN's commitment to Monday Night Football, Joe Buck has reportedly agreed to a new contract worth more than one hundred million dollars to stay in the booth for six more seasons. That secures Buck through the next Super Bowl and beyond, making him one of the highest-paid broadcasters in sports television history.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
