Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto are off the board. But nearly every other major free agent and trade candidate are still up for grabs in what remains a lukewarm hot stove season. That might all change very soon, as teams seemingly turn their attention to the likes of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Blake Snell, Cody Bellinger and a pack of premier pitchers reportedly being shopped. FOX Sports MLB experts Jordan Shusterman, Deesha Thosar, Rowan Kavner and Jake Mintz are tackling those topics and more in our weekly roundtable. 1.

The Panthers have one win this season and a single cover in the game they won against the Houston Texans 15-13 on Oct. 29. That appears to be the high point for Carolina this season.
