Caitlin Clark reportedly played a key role in Stephen Curry’s surprising split from Under Armour — though she wasn’t the only factor. Sources say that Curry and his team were frustrated by Under Armour’s perceived “under-investment” in his signature line, and things came to a head when the company failed to sign Clark to join his brand. Under Armour’s offer to Clark reportedly lagged behind Nike’s bid (four years, $16 million vs. Nike’s eight-year, $28 million deal), and Clark ended up signing with Nike instead — a “sore point” for Curry that reportedly contributed to his decision to part ways.However, multiple reports emphasize that while the failed pursuit of Clark added fuel to Curry’s frustration, it was not necessarily the sole or decisive reason for the split; broader issues like weak sales, declining investment in the brand, and a shift in company priorities played major roles too.

St. Louis Cardinals have traded veteran right-hander Sonny Gray to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for right-hander Richard Fitts, left-handed pitching prospect Brandon Clarke, and cash (or a player to be named later). Gray — a three-time All-Star who struck out 201 batters in 2025 while going 14-8 with a 4.28 ERA — waived his no-trade clause to make the deal possible. The trade signals a rebuilding push by the Cardinals, while Boston adds a proven veteran arm to bolster its rotation behind ace Garrett Crochet ahead of the 2026 season.

Have a nice week!
