In the Bronx, the Yankees are making the bullpen their number one offseason mission. General manager Brian Cashman went on the record this week calling it New York's main priority, and with several key relievers hitting free agency, Cashman has real work to do to protect what was the second-best bullpen ERA in the American League last season.
Shifting to the ice, Dallas Stars captain Jamie Benn hit a milestone Saturday night that only the game's elite ever reach — one thousand career NHL points. The thirty-seven-year-old buried a rebound in the second period against Buffalo, sliding it over the goal line for his four hundred eighteenth regular-season goal and one of the most celebrated moments in Stars history. Dallas won two to nothing.
And on the hardwood, Cleveland's backups delivered one of the more remarkable wins of the young NBA season. With all five starters sitting out, the Cavaliers went into Dallas and beat the Mavericks one hundred twenty-seven to one hundred seventeen — a stunning result made even more remarkable given the team had lost in Miami just the night before on a back-to-back.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
