Has Christian Pulisic had the best season of any American in Europe, ever?

Let's have the discussion, with the usual caveats about eras and positions and analytics (or lack thereof).

Rafael Devers is 0-for-8 with seven strikeouts to start the season as Boston’s DH.

It’s only two games, but after a difficult spring, it’s been notable.

Meanwhile, Cora said on Friday Devers won’t play third even on days when Alex Bregman is off.

The U.S. Open Cup kicks off today, with U.S. Soccer putting up a record $1 million purse.

As @cboehm.bsky.social wrote for @backheeled.com last year, there was real momentum for the Open Cup -- and then MLS tried to ditch.

Cool to see more on the line this year.
