Browns Eye Free Safety After Mutual 2024 Trio Departs
The Browns search for a new safety after Rodney McLeod retirement and Juan Thornhill cut leave two of the 2024 top safeties gone. Rayshawn Jenkins visits but no add yet as Grant Delpit anchors strong safety. Three-safety packages favored by Jim Schwartz push for versatile, dime-ready players alongside Delpit and Ronnie Hickman. Prospect candidates include Nick Emmanwori, Malaki Starks, Xavier Watts, with others like Kevin Winston Jr., Billy Bowman Jr., and Jonas Sanker watchful, Browns may delay defensive picks until after the third round.

Guardians Beat Pirates as Manzardo and Keller Hit They Lead 2-0
Mitch Keller gave up a fourth homer to guard Mitch Keller as Oscar Manzardo homered for a second straight game off Joey Wentz to push Cleveland ahead 2-0 in the seventh. Zach Ramirez stole second after a two-out single to set up Manzardo's drive. Cleveland bullpen woes linger as Clase allows three earned runs in 2025 while Logan Allen shines over five innings. Pirates rally falls short, Cantillo records first major league save for Guardians in extras.
