It’s unclear if Ohtani will need Tommy John surgery, and he is seeking a second opinion. He did hit his 44th home run of the year for good measure before leaving the game. But he’s done pitching in 2023, and...
The truth is that we’ve all seen this conundrum coming for a while. Here’s what we wrote back in May:
Brock Purdy is still expected to start, but what do you do with Lance? Also, don’t forget the Niners signed Sam Darnold this offseason. Feels like someone is getting traded.Lance started 2022 as QB1, then got hurt in Week 2.looked awesome in relief. Lance had been fully supplanted.He still had some value — he was the No. 3 pick in the 2021 draft — with no real issues besides an injury. The team was down to journeymanin the biggest game of the season thanks to an injury to Purdy.
Signing Darnold should’ve been a sign that Lance might not make it. But yesterday’s news still came as a surprise to many. Now we’re Someone will take a chance on Lance, still just 23. Quarterbacks are such a premium in this league. Why not give up a sixth-rounder if Lance can be an above-average starter?Reggie Bush filed a defamation lawsuit against the NCAA on Wednesday in response to a 2021 comment by an NCAA spokesperson saying Bush participated in a “pay-for-play” arrangement.

Rosenthal: Shohei Ohtani is worth $500 million in free agency, even if he's only a hitterHe’s still worth $500 million, if not more.
