CBS Sports explains why five notable MLB players, including former All-Stars Alex Cobb and John Means, were omitted from their top 50 free agents list. Factors such as age, injury history, and recent performance influenced the decision.

The six-episode, 10-day event will begin on December 11th, with a $100,000 prize at stake.

Three more players are yet to be announced for the competition.
Four MLB All-Stars, Randy Arozarena, Adolis García, Zac Gallen, and Luis Robert, could have been playing for the St. Louis Cardinals, but they ended up with different franchises. Arozarena and García were once Cardinals prospects but were traded away. Gallen was traded to the Miami Marlins in a deal for Marcell Ozuna, and he is now starting the All-Star Game for the National League. Robert, although scouted by the Cardinals, signed with the Chicago White Sox for a higher signing bonus. All four players have excelled with their current teams and would have been valuable additions to the struggling Cardinals.
This week's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars featured an improv challenge that was mostly okay, but not particularly entertaining. The episode also included drama surrounding the doling out of roles and a RuPaul intervention to lift the spirits of the contestants. Lala won the challenge and Kahanna was sent home after a lip sync battle against Jorgeous. The lack of returning queens this season may lead to a top three instead of a top four.
The Toronto Blue Jays have won seven of their last nine games and are within striking distance of a wild-card spot. To continue their hot streak, their All-Stars must play like All-Stars, Varsho needs to make more of an impact offensively, the margins of the roster need to be improved, and they need to take advantage of head-to-head matchups. The next two weeks will be a measuring stick for the Blue Jays as they face tough opponents, including direct competitors for wild-card spots.
Jimbo dominates the Snatch Game challenge for the third time in a row, but the lack of competition from the other queens is making the season feel lackluster. Heidi self-eliminates after drama surrounding her treatment of Kahanna and rumors of Kandy gunning for Jimbo. Jimbo wins her third challenge and lip syncs against Jasmine Kennedie, but almost slips during the performance. Kahanna stays due to Heidi's quit, leaving the predicted top four uncertain.
The Baltimore Orioles suffered a bad loss to the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, with five pitchers struggling on the mound. The team's pitching staff has been a problem all season, with several players consistently underperforming. The Orioles may need to make some roster moves to address the issue, but the front office is known for not overreacting to small samples. Despite the pitching struggles, the Orioles have had a successful season so far, with a 35-21 record and the potential for multiple All-Star representatives.
The premiere of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 8 saw Kahanna Montrese win the first-ever top queen of the week, Idina Menzel as a guest judge, and Aja as the first lip sync assassin. Monica Beverly Hillz was eliminated after the bottom three queens voted for her. In the Fame Games sub-competition, eliminated queens will showcase their runway looks, and fans can vote for their favorite to win $50,000.
The eighth season of RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars has shifted its focus to comedy and creating a cast of queens who are hungry to prove themselves. The group is less polished than previous seasons, but the intra-group dynamics and alliances make for entertaining interactions. The first challenges include a double runway look and a girl group challenge, with some queens standing out more than others. Jimbo and Heidi are the top performers in the SNL parody challenge, while Naysha and Kahanna struggle. Jimbo wins the challenge but loses the lip sync against Pangina, and Naysha is sent home.
Bianca Del Rio, winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 6, will host "The Pit Stop," a weekly recap series for All Stars Season 8, alongside guest judges.

Blue was a national sensation and had all the markings of crossover stardom.
