Bobby Jenks, a 2x All-Star and World Series champion with the Chicago White Sox, died Friday after a battle with stomach cancer.

Miguel Cabrera's wife has finally gotten her divorce from the MLB legend ... just over eight years after she first asked for it.

Court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, show that on May 14, Rosangel Cabrera filed to divorce Miguel ... for the second time since 2017.

In the docs, she called the marriage "irretrievably broken" -- and on June 18, just a few days after Miguel submitted paperwork signing off on the split, a judge finalized the divorce.

Stay in those patriotic feels with these two sneaky snaps of Philadelphia Eagles player Lane Johnson. He may be a solid offensive tackle, but he'll seriously take offense if you can't tackle his shortcomings 😉!

Before strippin' down and goin' for a swim, the 35 year old slipped into his swankiest American flag romper and waved a pose to his social media followers. His bald eagle was in full view, but that's not what you're after today ...

Joshua Van shocked fans by defeating Brandon Royval on moment's notice ... and he's wasting no time looking at his next potential opponent -- telling TMZ Sports he'll fight Alexandre Pantoja "without respect," 'cause he's ready to be the champ!!

Van pulled off an upset win over Royval at UFC 317 ... which was two weeks after a TKO victory against Bruno Gustavo da Silva.

Pantoja, who fought on the same card, called out Van after handling his matchup with Kai Kara-France ... and Van said it won't be the same outcome with him.

"My DMs now versus a couple months ago are so different," the 26-year-old said. "Half of them are people begging me to slap them in the face."

Larsa Pippen's partying her 51st birthday weekend away ... getting close with her man Jeff Coby at a Miami club -- and, their relationship sounds super serious.

The reality television star hit up E11EVEN -- a multilevel nightclub in the downtown area of The Magic City -- around 1 AM Thursday morning ... bringing a whole entourage with her.

Larsa started her night on the red carpet with some ladies and then with Jeff -- before hitting the dance floor for a few drinks, a little dancing and a whole lot of birthday well wishes.

Tom Brady's getting wet and wild over in Europe ... jumping off a boat into crystal clear water in Ibiza to celebrate America's Independence Day.

Joey Chestnut was back with a vengeance at the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest … winning the annual Fourth of July tradition with ease and earning the Mustard Belt after eating a whopping 70.5 tube steaks!!

Chestnut received a hero’s welcome as he was introduced to the stage on Coney Island after a year away … and once the 10-minute timer started, he locked in and got to work at record-setting pace.

There certainly wasn’t any wiener rust for Jaws … as his counterparts didn’t come close to posing a threat. Chestnut eventually slowed down, but managed to surpass the 70-dog mark in the final seconds.

Caitlyn Jenner's longtime friend and manager, Sophia Hutchins, died in a tragic ATV accident Wednesday morning -- and footage of the crash site has surfaced.

A KCAL News chopper debuted footage of the aftermath of the crash on Wednesday before Sophia was identified ... showing her blue ATV resting atop an upside down vehicle that had previously crashed in the same spot.

Jake Paul is seemingly celebrating the ICE arrest of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. ... and even offering who ICE should check out next.

Here's the situation -- not long after TMZ broke the news that Julio had been detained for an "expedited removal from the United States," the YouTuber-turned-pro boxer hopped on X and dropped an American flag emoji.

Perhaps he was celebrating Independence Day a bit early ... but the timing of his tweet seems pretty suspicious.

Degenerates hoping to make a quick buck on the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest are in luck ... TMZ Sports has learned there's a (b)unbelievable amount of prop bets on the board for Friday!!

Eric "Badlands" Booker has chugged just about everything under the sun ... but there's still one liquid he REALLY wants to down at an insane rate -- telling TMZ Sports it's a drink you can't find just anywhere!!

We caught up with Booker as he prepares to defend his title at the Nathan's Famous Lemonade Chugging Contest this July 4 ... and he revealed a non-alcoholic apéritif called Beverly -- a Coca-Cola product -- is atop his wish list.

"I think it's from Italy or somewhere in Europe," he said. "There's only one place that I know has it, at the Coca-Cola factory down in Atlanta. So one day, I'm gonna bring my boot and just put it under the fountain and just try to chug two liters of Beverly."

When Jim Ross announced he was cancer-free last week, he credited Tony Khan for being "amazingly wonderful" throughout the process ... and the love is mutual, 'cause the promotion's president called the wrestling legend "an indispensable part of AEW."

We spoke with Khan ahead of the "AEW: All In Texas" Pay-Per-View next Saturday ... and he said it was important to stand alongside the 73-year-old in his most recent health battle.

"I first heard JR's voice when I was eight years old, and he immediately hooked me with his commentary," Khan said. "He is a great man. He's done so much in wrestling."

Licis -- a bit out of breath from his accomplishment -- said after taking a lengthy break from lifting ... he's hoping to earn the title of World's Strongest Man for the second time in his illustrious career.
