Miami Marlins starter Cal Quantrill was dealing Sunday afternoon against the Tampa Bay Rays. So much so that he made a bit of MLB history when he tossed an immaculate inning in the top of the fourth.

Quantrill's immaculate inning—which is when a pitcher strikes out three consecutive batters on three pitches each—was just the 116th in MLB history. After striking out the side on nine total pitches in the fourth, he threw one more inning and ended the outing giving up just two hits and one earned run.

Here's every pitch he threw during the three-up, three-down fourth:

While immaculate innings have been fairly common in recent seasons—with two in 2023 and '24, plus seven in '22—it's still an incredibly rare feat when you zoom out and look at the MLB's long history. MLB analyst Ryan Spaeder laid out how an immaculate inning is actually more rare than a perfect game.

Rays pitcher Ryan Pepiot threw the last immaculate inning, which came on Sept. 18 last season against the Boston Red Sox. Former Chicago White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech did it last season too, hurling one July 10 against the Minnesota Twins. Quantrill's immaculate inning Sunday was the first of the 2025 MLB season.

The Boston Red Sox traded Rafael Devers over the weekend and they are just starting to answer questions about both the move and the overall health of the team. According to a new report, Devers was not the only dysfunctional part of the organization, and now people have no choice but to notice.

On Monday afternoon, Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow spoke with the media over Zoom and tried to explain the move from the team’s perspective. According to Breslow, they're trying to put together a functional team and it sounds like they don't even have to reach very lofty goals for the season to be a success.

"This isn't about the game that is played on paper," said Breslow. "This is about the game that is played on the field and ultimately about winning the most games that we can. And in order to do that, trying to put together the most functional and complete team that we can. So I think that when you consider the flexibility, the ability to give some of the young players some run, the opportunity to maybe repackage some of the resources and fill some voids in the roster as early as approaching this year's deadline and being really intentional about the environment that we create for these young players to thrive in, I do think there’s a real chance that at the end of the season, we’re looking back and we’ve won more games than we otherwise would’ve.”

The Red Sox are currently in fourth place in the AL East. Luckily, they only need to win more games than they otherwise would have with Rafael Devers for the season to truly be a success.

Tottenham Hotspur are starting to make headway under Thomas Frank’s stewardship. However, the Danish coach’s side have been inconsistent since he arrived in the summer, and he has confirmed he will be in the market for transfers in January.

Though the defence have encountered some problems throughout the campaign, Spurs’ attacking play has drawn plenty of criticism, with xG (expected goals) recording a total of just 14.8 from 15 fixtures, as per FBref.

James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski have both been sidelined since the summer, while Dominic Solanke has suffered more issues of his own, but there’s a sense that Heung-min Son’s potency in the final third has been missed.

ENIC Group appear to have recognised this, with plans drawn to sign an attacker next month.

Spurs' January search for a forward

Tottenham are 11th in the Premier League but only trail fourth-place Chelsea by four points. With a bit more flair and precision up front, Frank’s side could start playing with the consistency that has been missing.

Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo is on the London club’s shortlist, but Liverpool and Manchester City are also interested in striking a £65m deal this winter.

With six goals and three assists in the league this year, the 25-year-old could restore the Son-like presence to Spurs’ side, but he’s not the only one on Johan Lange and Fabio Paratici’s radar.

According to TEAMtalk, Kenan Yildiz is on Tottenham’s radar as one of their ‘dream’ targets, having been bumped up ahead of Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman.

Juventus’ financial problems mean they would be open to parting with one of their most coveted players, who has started the season in fine form.

His signature won’t come cheap. Arsenal have also been linked with the Turkish international, with Juve reportedly demanding £88m.

What Yildiz would bring to Spurs

Yildiz is one of the brightest attacking midfielders in the world. The 20-year-old became a regular presence in Juventus’ first team last season, posting 20 goal contributions in all competitions.

This year, he’s cranked his efficiency in the final third up a notch, already with six goals and six assists apiece across 20 matches.

European football writer Danny Corcoran has observed that the versatile attacker has “Mbappe-like ability” when running with the ball, and he ranks among the top 8% of positional peers across Europe for shot-creating actions and the top 13% for successful take-ons per 90.

Eight goal involvements from just 12 Serie A starting appearances underline how Yildiz could grow into one of the most prolific forwards in Europe, so such an ambitious bid on Tottenham’s part could land a blistering new goalscoring star to replace Son.

The South Korean, 33, left the Lilywhites from Los Angeles this summer after winning the Europa League in May, ending a decade of service with a trophy.

While the likes of Mohammed Kudus have been in promising form this season, he lacks the old captain’s clinical edge in front of goal, something Yildiz could add to Frank’s side.

Son scored 127 goals from 333 Premier League outings, and Yildiz might just have natural goalscoring ability to replace him, just as competent out on the left wing as he is playing off the central striker.

Any dynamic forward who shares some of Real Madrid superstar Mbappe’s athletic and physical attributes has a chance at making it big in the Premier League, and this could be the spark that Frank’s team need to kick on and challenge for a place in the top four while pushing deep in cup competitions too.

Talent scout Jacek Kulig has said that the fleet-footed Turk is “translating his ability into consistent numbers” this season, and if he could continue that trend down N17 in the Premier League, Tottenham may just crack this attacking nut that has been holding Frank’s vision back this season.

Manchester United are considering selling captain Bruno Fernandes amid interest from the Saudi Pro League with two major targets picked out to replace the club captain.

Man Utd identify two priority targets

Amorim stressed the importance of securing a much-needed Old Trafford win when Manchester United host “top team” Bournemouth on Monday, looking to continue a run of form which has seen United pick up seven points from three matches since the disappointment against Everton.

Captain Fernandes has been phenomenal in that run, scoring twice and providing three assists, but INEOS are now open to the Portugal star’s departure in order to fund new signings.

According to a recent report, Saudi Pro League clubs are set to offer Fernandes a way out of Old Trafford, with both Al Hilal and Al Ittihad considering a move in the region of £70m.

INEOS view the 31-year-old as the club’s most sellable asset and as someone worth cashing in on before his value decreases, with his contract set to expire in just over 18 months.

The Red Devils do hold an option to extend his stay by another year until June 2028, but they have identified two top targets which will require funds in Nottingham Forest star Elliot Anderson and Brighton and Hove Albion enforcer Carlos Baleba.

Both players could cost club record fees and INEOS are determined to make United financially secure while rebuilding Amorim’s squad.

Forest are set to demand ‘£100m-plus’ for Anderson while Baleba’s price is in the region of £74m.

Mainoo could be sold instead Man Utd gem could be "the world's best", but he's becoming the new Mainoo

Manchester United have one star in their ranks who could suffer the same fate as Kobbie Mainoo.

ByEthan Lamb 3 days ago

The other option on offer to INEOS is to cash in on their homegrown talent Kobbie Mainoo. While the 20 year-old’s value has suffered after falling out of favour this season, his status as an England international guarantees a good return which would go down as pure profit.

Chelsea are reportedly interested in a move for the young midfielder while there is also interest from Napoli in Serie A, where fellow United academy product Scott McTominay has thrived since joining in 2024.

Speaking in September, Amorim defended his decision to continually leave Mainoo out of his team: “I understand what you are saying. You love Kobbie… But that doesn’t mean I need to put Kobbie [in] when I feel that I shouldn’t put Kobbie [in], so it’s my decision.”

It’s safe to say it has been a topsy-turvy few weeks for Arsenal and Mikel Arteta.

A few weeks ago, the Gunners had played out an unbeaten week against Spurs, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.

Well, it would appear that the intense period has rather taken it out of them. The Gunners did beat Brentford but a defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday, their first loss in 18 games, has raised questions.

Arteta’s squad may be full of depth but any team would struggle with the number of injuries they have suffered this season.

Sadly, that trend is only continuing ahead of their Champions League clash with Club Brugge on Wednesday night.

The latest injury news from Arsenal

Arsenal headed to Villa Park last weekend without a number of key players. Kai Havertz was absent once again, while William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes were both unfit to play.

Arteta stressed over a week ago that Saliba’s injury was only a ‘matter of days’ but he is still missing from the squad ahead of Arsenal’s encounter with Brugge in midweek.

Given the club’s defensive frailties against Villa a few days ago, another missed match for Saliba is a hefty blow. Arsenal need to return to form and without their two defensive warriors, they are struggling.

Also missing from the squad to face Brugge will be Leandro Trossard. The Belgian has been one of Arsenal’s key men this term, scoring six goals and supplying five assists in 17 matches. It’s a huge blow, really. He’s been a clutch player for a long time but he’s been in the form of his life throughout 2025/26. Dare we say it, he may well be the club’s most important forward right now.

The Belgian returned to the squad following a small injury against Villa and did score, although he has now suffered another setback.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Arteta said: “Obviously when you are missing players, you are loading other players and there is a consequence to that, and it’s a really dangerous circle.

“You have to separate the kind of injuries. Some of them have been long-term, and some have been acute injuries. It’s something that we are constantly looking at. We have played a lot of games with a lot of players missing and that puts a lot of stress, and then you get more injuries.”

While setbacks for Trossard and Saliba are key blows, it’s also disappointing that Max Dowman has picked up a longer-term problem. The teenager was likely set to feature in the remaining league games of the Champions League but is unlikely to be seen again in 2025.

Commenting on that blow, the manager stated, “When you play in the position that he plays, when you play the manner that he plays, it was going to happen, and it has happened.

“It’s not ideal. He picked up weeks, it could have been worse, and we learn from that and now use this time to continue to improve in his education, in everything that is related to professional football, his habits, the way he needs to develop his physicality as well and the understanding of the game.”

That blow has, at least, allowed the club to replace Dowman with Gabriel Jesus in their Champions League squad. He could be in line to feature for the first time in nearly a year following an ACL injury.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Brugge

With Saliba, Gabriel and summer signing Cristian Mosquera all missing through injury, the backline likely picks itself with Ben White featuring at right-back alongside a centre-back pairing of Jurrien Timber and Piero Hincapie.

Riccardo Calafiori is suspended for Arsenal’s clash with Wolves at the weekend and thus, Arteta may use this as an opportunity to get minutes into the legs of Myles Lewis-Skelly at left-back.

In midfield, Declan Rice will be missing with illness. Martin Zubimendi is also due a rest, meaning we could see a midfield three of Christian Norgaard, Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze.

In the forward line, Viktor Gyokeres could start for the first time since returning from injury, playing ahead of Mikel Merino. He is likely to be flanked by Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli with Bukayo Saka handed a rest. Expect to see him feature from the bench.

Ethan Nwaneri and Kepa Arrizabalaga are set to be in contention for rare starts but it feels more likely that they will be among the subs again.

Since taking the manager’s job almost six years ago, Mikel Arteta has got a lot right at Arsenal.

The Spaniard has taken a team that felt destined to fall further down the Premier League table and turned them into serious challengers.

Moreover, in addition to overhauling the culture at the club, he also completely revamped the squad, getting more transfers right than wrong.

However, as with all managers, he has also made his share of mistakes in the market, and one of his more recent ones feels like the sort of signing Unai Emery would’ve made.

Emery vs Arteta in the transfer market

During his short 18-month reign at Arsenal, Emery signed just 12 players, with two of those being on loan and one being a free.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

Unfortunately, while the likes of William Saliba and Gabriel Martinelli were unquestionably hits, every other signing is either up for debate or an outright flop.

Worse yet, the Spaniard broke the club’s transfer record in his second summer, bringing in Nicolas Pepe from LOSC Lille for a whopping £72m.

The Ivorian would eventually leave the North Londoners by mutual consent, having racked up a middling tally of 27 goals and 21 assists in 112 games for the club.

Other flops signed during that period include Lucas Torreira, Denis Suarez, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Sokratis Papastathopoulos.

Overall, while he did bring in two huge hits and a couple of players on the cusp of being hits, it would be fair to say that Emery didn’t have a great track record when it came to signing players at Arsenal, but what about Arteta?

Well, the former captain has been at the Emirates for far longer, so there are far more players to judge him on, and overall, you’d have to say he’s been more successful than his predecessor.

Yes, there have, of course, been plenty of flops such as Fabio Vieira, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Pablo Mari, Raheem Sterling and Willian, but there have been significantly more hits.

For example, Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, Riccardo Calafiori, David Raya, Ben White, Gabriel Magalhães and Leandro Trossard are just some of the players who arguably get into almost every other team in the league.

Would Emery have eventually got better at identifying targets if he had been given more time and given in excess of £900m? Possibly, but we’ll never know.

With that said, one of the manager’s recent signings might be heading for the flop pile and feels like someone the club would have bought under the previous regime.

The Arteta signing who looks like he belongs in the Emery era

So far, most of Arsenal’s summer signings have looked good to great this season.

Martin Zubimendi has been pulling the strings from deep, Eberechi Eze got his North London Derby hat-trick, and Noni Madueke has been the most direct attacker in the team.

However, there is one player who arrived to plenty of fanfare, but has so far underwhelmed: Viktor Gyokeres.

Many fans and pundits alike saw the Swede as the goalscoring number nine that the Gunners had been crying out for, but so far, he has looked unconvincing, to say the least.

For example, in 18 appearances, the former Sporting CP “powerhouse” forward, as dubbed by analyst Ben Mattinson, has scored just six goals, and while that is not terrible, it’s not enough from a £63m striker.

Moreover, unlike Gabriel Jesus, or even Kai Havertz for that matter, the former Coventry City star doesn’t offer an awful lot off the ball, nor is he adept at helping craft chances.

In fact, this was something Sky Sports’ Gary Neville picked up on earlier in the season when he called him a “misfit” because, unlike a lot of his teammates, “he’s not technically amazing.”

This dual problem of not getting into goalscoring areas enough and also offering little in build-up play was on show against Brugge, when in 62 minutes of action, he failed to get in on the actiona, took just 12 touches and played four passes.

With all that said, there is clearly a player in there – we saw it for that brilliant goal against Leeds United earlier in the season – but if he doesn’t improve quickly, it feels like a matter of when and not if he falls to third in the pecking order.

Therefore, while it might sound harsh, Gyokeres is looking more like a signing Arsenal would have made under Emery than Arteta.

Odegaard upgrade: Arsenal have made a move to sign £88m "generational talent"

The sensational international would be an excellent signing for Arsenal, but could be bad news for Martine Odegaard.

Mikel Arteta has got a lot right in the almost six years he has spent in the Arsenal dugout.

He has generally got rid of the right players at the right time, he’s changed the culture for the better and reconnected the club with the fans.

However, he has also overseen his fair share of dud signings, with Raheem Sterling’s loan move last season perhaps being the worst.

Arsenal have made more good signings than bad over the last six years, but it looks like new Sporting Director Andrea Berta may have already made his own Sterling-type addition to Arteta’s side.

Sterling's forgettable Arsenal spell

To describe Arsenal’s transfer dealings in the summer of 2024 as disappointing would be an understatement.

Yes, the club did sign two excellent players in Mikel Merino and Riccardo Calafiori, but they also failed to sign the lights-out attacking star the team were so clearly crying out for.

It might have been this lack of forward signings that led the club to go out at the last minute and bring in Sterling on a season-long loan.

During his announcement, the Chelsea loanee told the Emirates faithful they would “see the best” of him, but that was as far from what actually happened as possible.

The former England international certainly tried to make a mark in North London, but he looked miles off the pace and was limited to minor appearances throughout the campaign.

In fact, the multiple league winner played just 1134 minutes for the Gunners across 28 appearances, of which only 13 were starts.

The Kingston-born Premier League legend left N5 with a single goal and five assists to his name, and unfortunately, a total, undeniable flop.

Now it looks like Arsenal might have another Sterling situation on their hands with a Berta signing.

Arsenal's new Sterling

Unlike last year, it would be hard to call Arsenal’s summer anything other than a roaring success.

Chalkboard

Football FanCast’s Chalkboard series presents a tactical discussion from around the global game.

Berta and Co signed the likes of Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Mosquera, Piero Hincapie and Viktor Gyokeres.

However, unfortunately, there is one summer addition who could potentially fall into the Sterling category: Christian Nørgaard.

Now, before the pitchforks come out, nobody is saying that the Danish international will be as big a problem for the club as the Englishman was, in terms of wages and blocking a loan slot.

Nor is he likely to be as noticeably off the pace compared to the rest of the team as the Chelsea man was.

However, what is also undeniably true is that at the moment, it’s hard to see where he is going to get any game time at all.

The 31-year-old joined the club in July, and at the time of writing, has made just seven first-team appearances, totalling 302 minutes, of which three have been starts.

Worse still, he has played just 14 minutes of Premier League football this year, with 13 minutes of those coming against Burnley.

It’s a bizarre situation, as the 39-capped international captain of Brentford last season and ended the campaign having made 34 league appearances for them, totalling 2830 minutes.

Now, nobody expected the veteran midfielder to be even a semi-regular starter for the Gunners, but it seems like Arteta has no trust in him whatsoever, refusing to bring him on when Declan Rice came off against his old side.

There may be light at the end of the tunnel in the shape of the FA Cup for the summer signing, but even then, it feels like the manager will turn to someone else.

Ultimately, Nørgaard didn’t cost much, is a consummate professional, isn’t a media focus, and, in that way, isn’t really a problem for Arsenal.

However, it does feel like Arteta doesn’t really fancy him, and, like Sterling last season, his stint in North London will be short-lived.

A Saka & Olise hybrid: Arsenal in contact over signing £70m "superstar"

The incredible talent would be as game-changing for Arsenal as Bukayo Saka has been over the years.
