The Kid's Got Hart
A Budding Great, Champions Again, and much more!
Good morning everyone! Here's what news we ✨snagged✨ for you around the sports world today:
🏒 A Budding Great
🐯 Champions Again
🚀 ...and much more! Let's get into it.
👑 Main Character
Recognize this man? Well if you don’t, it’s time to get to know him because his name is Connor McDavid, and he is your 2023-24 NHL MVP.

Since being drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in 2015, McDavid has become a perennial All-Star, and now, three-time winner of the Hart Memorial Trophy. Just to show how much of an impact he’s had on the ice since he hit the rink skating eight years ago, here are some important stats to put his dominance in perspective:
850 total points in 569 games played
303 goals
Had the first 150+ point season in over 20 years
5x Art Ross award winner (most points in a regular season)
3x Hart winner
3x Pearson award winner (most outstanding player voted on by NHLPA)
Not too shabby.
This guy is on the same level as guys like Patrick Mahomes, Justin Jefferson, Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, Mookie Betts, and Ronald Acuña Jr. He deserves some love in the media, and as an official member of the media, Snagged Sports would like to give him his much deserved flowers.
Now, winning a Stanley Cup would go a long way in cementing his legacy as one of the sports’ best…
🥺 Wholesome Content
Legend of the game.
Congrats on a historic career, Miggy!

With intent to retire at the end of this season, one of baseball’s greats, Miguel Caberera, was honored last night with a gift from Texas Rangers legend, Pudge Rodriguez. Putting the gloves aside to honor one of the best to ever do it, regardless of the stakes, is always nice to see.
🐣 Tweet of the Day
It's an LSU thing 💍

In the words (and voice) of LSU national championship coach Ed Orgeron, Geaux Tigers! After getting absolutely trounced in Game 2 of the championship series, LSU came back with some offense of their own and blew Florida’s hope of a championship right out of the water with a 18-4 win.
Although the dramatics were taken from us in a winner-take-all championship game, LSU showed the college baseball, and college sports world, that they are a university not to be taken lightly. First basketball, now baseball, who’s to say they aren’t going to win every sports’ championship this year?
💰 Mr. (Editor’s) Corner
This will be Mr. Editor’s first official pick given out to the people. After strenuous and exhausting research, he has decided to give out a guaranteed winner as his first ever bet.
⚾️ MLB: Miami Marlins +1.5 vs. Boston Red Sox
With two struggling starting pitchers in the lineup for these teams, it’s not hard to see this is going to come down to the bullpen. The “experts” have it going 50/50, but this expert knows one thing that they do not; this seemingly average road team is out to prove to the baseball world they belong, and what bigger stage to do that on than at Fenway Park? Give me the Marlins here, but with a little bit of wiggle room.
🥊 Quick Hits
John Collins was traded to the Utah Jazz for Rudy Gay and a future pick.
Booker, Durant seen in the Bahamas shooting around in prep for next season’s inevitable Suns playoff run.
Nick Chubb was seen getting after it during offseason workouts.
It’s still mock draft season! Get a look at this year’s MLB Mock Draft happening later next month.
