Just a few short months ago, Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager grounded out to Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve to clinch the Astros’ first World Series title in franchise history. Yet the Astros continue to build up their stockpile, with the latest addition being Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Gerrit Cole. On Saturday afternoon, the deal was announced with Houston sending over starting pitcher Joe Musgrove, third baseman Colin Moran, relief pitcher Michael Feliz and outfielder Jason Martin. For a seemingly lackluster Major League Baseball offseason, the trade offers some respite. Cole, a former number one overall pick in 2011, has seen his numbers decline recently. This past season, Cole finished 12-12 with a 4.26 ERA. While that statline is far from remarkable, any durability concerns were answered through all 203 innings pitched in 2017. Additionally, Cole has two years of team control left, at a cap hit around $7 million.

The Brandeis men’s basketball team has not started the season the way it intended. While the team has kept most of its games close, it has not had much luck finding the win column, starting off 1-5, including three straight losses. The season is still young, so the team still has time to put the pieces together, but the schedule is not going to get any easier as the team enters conference play in the coming months.

The men’s soccer season ended in heartbreaking fashion on Friday night, as the squad fell to Messiah College in the Final Four of the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament for the second consecutive year. The loss caps yet another tremendous campaign for the Judges, who will return a talented crop of players next fall. In the final press conference of his first season at the helm, head coach Gabe Margolis summed up the Judges’ emotional season perfectly: “Soccer is a funny game, and a cruel game, and it’s also a great game. Today we were on the wrong end of it, but I can’t say enough about how well our team represented Brandeis University and Brandeis Soccer.”

With the National Football League entering the final leg of the season, playoff hopes have started to actualize — at least for some teams. The New England Patriots, as per usual, will take an easy sweep of the American Football Conference East division while the Pittsburgh Steelers seem a shoe-in for the top spot in the AFC North. That leaves two tight races in the AFC South and AFC West. In the South, the Tennessee Titans look to avenge their narrow denial of the playoffs last year, going up against the unexpectedly talented Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags, led by newly minted running back Leonard Fournette, will look to their final regular-season game when they face off against the Titans in what may be a win-or-go-home situation. The two teams’ upcoming schedules are nearly identical, making the final game all the more likely to be the deciding factor. The Jaguars nearly led the league in losses last year with a 3-13 record, making their flight to the top all the more dumbfounding.

The men’s basketball team tipped off its 2017 to 2018 campaign this past week, opening the season with two consecutive losses. The squad dropped a close contest in its season opener at Suffolk University on Wednesday, its comeback bid falling short despite a stellar performance from star guard Eric D’Aguanno ’20. The team followed that loss with another close defeat, blowing a six-point halftime lead en route to a loss at the hands of Becker College on Saturday. The new-look Judges should expect early trials this season, as the squad strives to build chemistry on a team that features nine underclassmen.
