Harry Maguire given 15-month suspended prison sentence after retrial … — and more

• Player found guilty of ‘non-serious assault’ in 2020

• England defender to appeal again against verdict

The England and Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been handed a 15-month suspended prison sentence by a Greek court over a 2020 incident in Mykonos.

In 2020, Maguire was found guilty of repeated bodily harm, attempted bribery and violence against public employees after his arrest after a brawl outside a nightclub.

The Cincinnati Reds have put together an enviable breadth of starting pitching heading into the 2026 Major League Baseball season. That’s a nebulous, bland, blanket statement on its surface, but it’s also very much emblematic of the fact that almost none of the cadre of starting-caliber arms they have down there is the same, or even in the same situation.

They’ve got a bona fide ace in Hunter Greene, the lone one amongst the group operating on a long-term contract extension. They’ve got Brady Singer, a veterans innings-eater, who is in his final year of team control with free agency looming.

They’ve got a flamethrowing rookie with Cy Young upside in Chase Burns, and a mix-match command maestro in rookie Rhett Lowder – who’s own stuff is good enough to chase awards, too. They’ve got lefties in Andrew Abbott and Nick Lodolo and Brandon Williamson to match the might of their RHPs. They’ve got guys coming off lost seasons who’ll need to deal with innings limits, and guys like Lodolo and Greene still looking to complete full seasons to add that badge of honor (an incredibly lucrative badge of honor) to their already growing resumes.

It’s also unique in that it’s a group composed completely of players who were already within the organization last year, with nary a new starting pitcher brought in to camp on a big league deal among them. Even with Nick Martinez, who left for free agency following the 2025 season, they lost a guy who spent a ton of the end of the season pitching as a reliever despite his prowess as a starter, so their rotation options have been lined up for 2026 long before 2026 ever arrived.

The one obvious question that we don’t necessarily know about this group, though, is who becomes their workhorse.

Last season, it was Singer who topped the IP leaderboard for the club at 169.2, a number that marked the fourth straight season in which he’d topped 150 IP for his respective clubs. That edged out both Abbott (166.1) and Lodolo (165.2) for the team lead, with each of those numbers marking career-bests for the lefties. Greene, meanwhile, has the best stuff on the team (and perhaps in the game) with the best surface stats, too, but injuries once again limited him during the 2025 campaign and he fired just 107.2 innings.

If the mantra is truly have your best pitchers pitch the most, then it’s pretty obvious the Reds would love it if Greene ended up leading the team in IP this year. However, since he’s only topped 150 IP once (at 150.1 IP in 2024) and threw just 107 IP last year, I doubt the Reds are itching to see him chase 200 IP this season from a long-term (and playoff) perspective. Innings limits for each of Lowder and Williamson coming off injury will 100% be in play, while the team is going to be cautious with Burns due to his 2025 forearm issue and lack of overall IP experience, too.

Singer, a perfectly cromulent mid-rotation starter for just about any rotation in the bigs (including this one), may well end up being leaned on more to take innings off others this year and wind up leading the team in innings once again – all despite being perhaps the fifth or seventh most ‘talented’ arm on the roster. Lodolo or Abbott could power their way to 32+ starts and set new career marks, too, something that would inch both closer to being considered legitimate top-of-the-rotation starters nearing lucrative paydays.

It’s a discussion with no crystal ball, clearly. Who do you think ends up leading the 2026 Reds in IP?

If you've watched Packers quarterback Malik Willis closely over the past two seasons, you probably know that he's shown signs of developing into a QB1. If you haven't watched him, you might see his stats and wonder why any team would want to commit to him at roughly $50 million to $60 million over two years. He has only six NFL starts in four seasons, two years in Tennessee and two in Green Bay. Backing up Jordan Love with the Packers, Willis threw for 972 passing yards and scored nine total touchdowns in 11 games. The sample size is small — minuscule, in fact. But the 26-year-old former third-round pick has gotten progressively better, and his physical traits are impressive. There's a lot to work with — unlike the QB prospects in this draft class. So let's count down the best fits for Willis when NFL free agency opens next week. 3. Miami Dolphins If Willis wants to go with someone he knows and trusts, then former Packers defensive coordinator and new Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley needs a quarterback. I also think Hafley and his new GM, Jon-Eric Sullivan, will have interest in Willis — just not at the market value, which could reach $30 million per year if there’s a bidding war likely led by a cap-rich team like the Cardinals. If Arizona instead pursues Jimmy Garoppolo, who was the backup during new Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur’s time as a Rams assistant, or another QB, then it’s likely that Willis’ value might land closer to $20 million per year. And if that’s the case, the Dolphins might get into the mix. They’re going to be cap-strapped after releasing Tua Tagovailoa, but maybe they could make it work with Willis if he's willing to be flexible about the contract's structure. 2. Pittsburgh Steelers You can’t underestimate organizational stability, even when that organization is undergoing coaching turnover. Mike Tomlin stepped down after 19 seasons and former Packers and Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy has taken over in Pittsburgh. It’s likely that 42-year-old Aaron Rodgers will return in 2026 for his 22nd NFL season. But if he hesitates to give the Steelers his decision, then it could be a coup for Willis. After all, Willis is a great quarterback for McCarthy’s system and would be a terrific match with receiver DK Metcalf and running back Jaylen Warren. On the whole, it’s a really nice match. It’s just that Rodgers looms over the situation, with the QB yet again mulling retirement (and/or a dalliance into free agency, where the Vikings could be waiting). At the NFL Combine, Steelers GM Omar Khan said he thought he’d have a decision from Rodgers in a timely manner. That’s optimistic, maybe too much so. If the Steelers remain preoccupied with Rodgers, they might miss out on the Willis sweepstakes. 1. Arizona Cardinals The Cardinals, who've already announced that they'll release QB Kyler Murray, add up to a really good choice for Willis on paper. They have the cap space to pay him more than just about anyone else. They have a new offensive-minded coach in Mike LaFleur, who is Packers coach Matt LaFleur’s brother. It would make sense that Mike could call Matt and get the lowdown on who Willis is and what he’s about (and how best to coach him). Matt LaFleur was consistently effusive of Willis, so it seems he would provide a glowing recommendation. Arizona boasts a special set of playmakers: Trey McBride was the best tight end in the NFL for most of 2025, and he’ll be flanked by talented receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. The offensive line needs work, which the Cardinals can address in the draft and in free agency, but it’s hard to say how much they can upgrade the unit or how quickly. And finally, Mike LaFleur is also relatively unproven. He did well in L.A. under Sean McVay but, the last time we saw him elsewhere, he and former Jets first-round pick Zach Wilson were working together in one of the worst offenses in the NFL. That might be a hangup for Willis. If I were Willis, I’d wait as long as I could to see if the Steelers are interested. I’d trust McCarthy. I’d trust Khan. I’d trust the Steelers' history of success. But they seem to trust Rodgers. If the Cardinals come in with an offer, it’s likely to be significantly better than what the Dolphins can provide financially. Willis might be able to drum up interest from the Jets or maybe even the Vikings. But ultimately, I think his best option will be to land with Arizona, given the money, the LaFleur brothers connection and the team's surrounding skill players.
