Report: Julian Nagelsmann on the verge of being sacked as Germany coach
Julian Nagelsmann oversaw a disastrous elimination from the 2026 World Cup at the hands of Paraguay. A disjointed side without ideas took to the field and were sent home by virtue of a penalty shootout, with the struggles going as far back as the 2-1 win over Ivory Coast.
After a cancelled press conference and an in-depth discussion with the folks from the DFB, the 38-year-old former Bayern Munich manager might be on the verge of getting the sack:
Jürgen Klopp, currently the head of global soccer for Red Bull, has long been the ideal manager to get Germany back to winning ways. Despite interest from the DFB and Real Madrid, the former Liverpool manager has ruled out managing in the immediate future but admitted that he is open to taking a job (much like Pep Guardiola’s sabbatical in 2012/13).
A coach alone won’t fix the issues with the German national football team, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction.

Andrew Abbott and the Reds are road underdogs in Milwaukee.Ryan Gilbert|
In this story:
Cincinnati RedsMilwaukee BrewersThe Milwaukee Brewers are looking to continue their dominance against the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.
After dropping their last two games to the Cubs, the Brew Crew beat the Reds 5-3 and 7-2 in the first two games of this four-game set.
This comes after the Brewers swept the Reds in Cincinnati last week.
Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Reds vs. Brewers on Wednesday, July 1.
Reds vs. Brewers Odds, Run Line and Total
Odds via DraftKings Sportsbook
Run Line
- Reds +1.5 (-155)
- Brewers -1.5 (+128)
Moneyline
- Reds +135
- Brewers -163
Total
- 9.0 (Over -105/Under -114)
Reds vs. Brewers Probable Pitchers
- Reds: Andrew Abbott (5-4, 3.90 ERA)
- Brewers: Shane Drohan (3-2, 2.12 ERA)
Andrew Abbott has been consistent this season for Cincinnati. He’s allowed three runs or fewer in each of his last 11 starts, totalling 18 ER in 61.1 IP (2.64 ERA) in that span.
Shane Drohan is putting up good numbers in his rookie season. The southpaw has been particularly great in his last two starts, allowing just one run on eight hits in 9.1 innings. That includes 4.1 innings of shutout ball in Cincinnati last week.
Reds vs. Brewers How to Watch
- Date: Wednesday, July 1
- Time: 8:10 p.m. ET
- Venue: American Family Field
- How to Watch (TV): ESPN
- Reds record: 39-45
- Brewers record: 52-31
Reds vs. Brewers Best MLB Prop Bets
Reds Best MLB Prop Bet
- Andrew Abbott UNDER 5.5 Hits Allowed (-142)
Andrew Abbott has allowed just shy of one hit per inning this season, with 87 hits in 90 frames thus far. Those numbers are a bit skewed by the 38 hits he allowed in 38.2 innings in his first seven starts, though.
Since then, the southpaw has allowed UNDER 5.5 hits in 9 of his last 11 starts. The Brewers are a tough team, but I think Abbott can keep them off balance tonight.
Reds vs. Brewers Prediction and Pick
While I like Abbott’s prop, I don’t necessarily like his team’s chances tonight.
The Brewers are simply a step or two above the Reds this season, and have been for a few years. Cincinnati is on its way up, but it’s going through some growing pains this year.
Milwaukee just swept the Reds and is 28-17 at home while Cincinnati is 20-23 on the road.
Pick: Brewers -163

Mitchell Robinson Signs with Boston, and All Parties Benefit in Fantasy Basketball
Mitchell Robinson Agrees to Sign with Boston, and All Parties Benefit in Fantasy Basketball

The Boston Celtics have signed Mitchell Robinson, signaling the end of a micro-era that won the Knicks an NBA Championship. Robinson was a vital rim protector who came off the bench to help limit Victor Wembanyama's dominance. The Knicks now have to look a new way behind Karl-Anthony Towns, while Robinson will find new beginnings with his former Northeast rival.
Mitchell Robinson Heads to Boston
Robinson's contact with the Celtics will span 3 years and be worth $47.4 million, per ESPN's Shams Charania. He becomes the team's 4th-highest-paid player, and he will be the team's 3rd-highest-paid if Jaylen Brown is traded. The commitment is not quite that of a Jalen Duren contract, where he himself is demanding $40 million AAV. Yet, it is enough to make Robinson the starting center.
The new depth chart in Boston will now show Robinson as the starting center. His backup will be Neemias Queta and Luka Garza behind him. It is reasonable to expect Robinson's minutes to be less-than-dominant, but he will expect to play no less than 25 minutes per game with a ceiling around 33.
In player efficiency ratings, Robinson ranked 11th among NBA centers in 2025-26 (21.11). His backup, Queta, ranked 14th, and Garza, 18th.
With more minutes expected, playing on an equally competitive team to the Knicks, Robinson's value does rise in fantasy basketball. He ranked around C35-40 this past season. Robinson now expects to rise to become the C25-30 in 2026-27.
Life After Mitchell Robinson in New York
The Knicks must now find themselves a backup center to Karl-Anthony Towns. They have nobody listed right now. The best they can do is stretch Jeremy Sochan to the center position. The Knicks will not do that.
The rumored free-agent signings do appear to be low-level in terms of skill alone. Kevon Looney is a widely reported name to be in the discussion to replace Robinson. The reports suggest one relevant point: Towns' role is expected to rise even further, both in minutes expected and usage. That is great for fantasy basketball.
In 2025-26, Towns was a top-8 center in fantasy basketball. He should be able to compete at a top-5 level as a center. That ranks Towns just behind Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis and on par with Alperen Sengun and Domantas Sabonis.
The swirl of free agency is in full swing. Analysis can change by the hour, so stay tuned for further fantasy basketball-aligned updates as big names find new destinations.
