You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Starting in New York, Jets first-round tight end Kenyon Sadiq is dealing with a significant setback after hernia surgery, and head coach Aaron Glenn confirmed Tuesday the sixteenth overall pick will be sidelined for a little bit longer. That's a tough blow for a rookie who hasn't even had a chance to get started yet.
Shifting to Atlanta, the Braves reportedly missed out on a chance to land an elite starting pitcher at the trade deadline, and the reason traces back to Jacob deGrom and the Texas Rangers. The details are murky but the bottom line is clear — Atlanta needed rotation help and came up empty, through no fault of their own. That front office has to be grinding its teeth right now.
And over in New York again, but the other dugout this time — the Mets backed away from a Clay Holmes deal with Arizona after a medical concern surfaced during the process. New York ultimately pivoted to the Cubs to get the deal done, landing their reliever through a different channel. It's a reminder that these deadline moves are never as clean as the final transaction makes them look.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
