Charlie McAvoy is in serious trouble with the league. The Boston Bruins defenseman has been offered an in-person hearing with the NHL Department of Player Safety following a slashing incident on Buffalo's Zach Benson in Game six Friday night. An in-person hearing means the league is considering a suspension of six or more games, which would carry into next season and cost McAvoy significant time to open the year.
Shifting to baseball, and the San Diego Padres have a new owner and a massive price tag to match. José Feliciano has finalized the purchase of the franchise for a reported three point nine billion dollars, the largest team sale in Major League Baseball history. Feliciano has made no secret of his ambitions, coming in with his eyes locked on a World Series title, and that kind of money signals he intends to compete.
And staying in baseball, the Baltimore Orioles are giving their fans something to watch Sunday against the Yankees. Top prospect Trey Gibson is set to make his major league debut, stepping into the spotlight against one of the game's marquee franchises. No soft landing here for the young arm, but that's exactly the kind of stage that defines careers early.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
