Leafs New GM Brad Treliving

The Toronto Maple Leafs tabbed Brad Treliving, formerly of the Calgary Flames, as their new general manager, the club announced Wednesday.

Treliving and the Flames agreed to part ways in mid-April. Calgary missed the playoffs one season after winning the Pacific Division title.

The Maple Leafs fired GM Kyle Dubas earlier in May. The 37-year-old became visibly emotional during his end-of-season availability, and team president Brendan Shanahan admitted he changed his plans after watching Dubas speak, prompting the club to sever ties.

Adrian Griffin off to Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks are finalizing a deal with Toronto Raptors assistant Adrian Griffin to be the franchise's next head coach, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Aaron Boone suspended

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has been suspended one game and fined an undisclosed amount for his "recent conduct" toward umpires, Major League Baseball announced Friday.

Boone will serve his ban Friday when the Yankees host the San Diego Padres.

The ban comes less than 24 hours after Boone received his league-leading fourth ejection of the season during Thursday's game against the Baltimore Orioles. He had to be restrained while getting in the face of multiple umpires during his nearly minute-long tirade before the fourth inning.

Brad Treliving to replace Kyle Dubas?

Former Calgary Flames general manager Brad Treliving is "very high" on the Toronto Maple Leafs' list to replace Kyle Dubas, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported during Tuesday night's edition of "32 Thoughts." 

Friedman added that Treliving is expected to be in Toronto this week to meet with the team.

Treliving and the Flames agreed to part ways in April ahead of his contract expiring on June 30. Calgary trailed the Winnipeg Jets by two points this campaign to miss out on the playoffs for the third time in six seasons.

Toronto Raptors meet with Steve Nash

The Toronto Raptors met with former Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash to discuss the team's coaching vacancy, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.

Nash, who went 94-67 in 161 games over three seasons in Brooklyn, agreed to part ways with the Nets early in the 2022-23 campaign after the team opened the campaign 2-5.

Pittsburg Penguins speak with Kyle Dubas

The Pittsburgh Penguins were given permission to speak with former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported on Monday's edition of "32 Thoughts."

Toronto decided to part ways with Dubas on Friday. His contract expires June 30, so teams wanting to talk to the 37-year-old before that date must get the Maple Leafs' permission.

Pittsburgh fired general manager Ron Hextall and president of hockey operations Brian Burke in April.

Justin Verlander booed in Citi Field debut

New York Mets right-hander Justin Verlander made his highly anticipated Citi Field debut Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Rays, and it seems like the Flushing faithful could've waited a little longer for it.

Walking off the mound and into the dugout after allowing six runs through five innings of work - including a pair of homers - Verlander was greeted by boos and other jeers from a visibly upset Mets crowd. He was replaced by Dominic Leone to start the sixth.
