Luis Suárez suspended for Inter Miami’s pivotal playoff game vs. Nashville: Sources

Inter Miami forward Luis Suárez has been suspended for Saturday’s pivotal playoff match against Nashville SC by the MLS Disciplinary Committee for an incident in Game 2 of their first-round series, sources briefed on the situation have told The Athletic.

Miami appealed the decision, but it was upheld, meaning Suárez will miss the decisive Game 3 at Chase Stadium, sources added. After Miami and Nashville split the first two games, the loser will be eliminated, with Miami, MLS’s top-spending side, hoping to avoid a first-round elimination for the second year running.

Suárez is being suspended for an off-ball incident in the 71st minute, in which he kicked out at Nashville defender Andy Najar. There was no foul called or card issued on the play.

As per MLS rules and regulations, the Disciplinary Committee can step in and fine or suspend players after the match in numerous situations. One is when the referee doesn’t see the incident, another is when additional punishment is needed and the last is when a referee sees an incident and does not issue a card, but the Disciplinary Committee deems it was a clear and obvious red card.

This incident falls in the third category.

It marks the second suspension for Suárez in recent months. Suárez was previously banned this year for spitting on Seattle Sounders security director Gene Ramirez amid a melee following Miami’s loss to Seattle in the Leagues Cup final. Suárez was banned for six Leagues Cup matches and then an additional three MLS matches.

Since that suspension was served, Suárez has played every minute for Miami down the stretch. The 38-year-old has 14 goals and 15 assists across all competitions this year.

Without Suárez, Mascherano can put Messi in a false nine role. When Suárez was suspended in September, the club played with Messi and Tadeo Allende in forward roles.

Miami also has a natural center forward in Ecuador youth international Allen Obando, but he just returned from injury and was an unused sub in the last match. He has failed to make an impact this season, playing just 154 minutes.

Former Titans GM mock Miami right tackle to the Cleveland Browns at 6

Former Titans GM mock Miami right tackle to the Cleveland Browns at 6

The Cleveland Browns traded for an extended right tackle, former Houston Texan Tytus Howard, at the start of free agency as they began their rebuild of the offensive line that was awful in 2025. But Howard has played every position on the offensive line except for center, so if it’s all about getting your best five on the field, which it should be, there’s a chance Howard doesn’t play at right tackle in 2026.

While doing a mock draft on Peter Schrager’s podcast, former Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon had the Browns drafting Miami (FL) right tackle sixth overall. He talked about the issue with Howard, but said Mauigoa could either take over the tackle spot or be a really good guard.

Carthon said he knows that Mauigoa would be one of their best five, whether it is at guard or tackle. Some will say that a guy who may be best at guard isn’t worth the sixth overall pick, and I have to disagree. You should draft the best football players, and Francis Mauigoa is my highest-rated offensive lineman and seventh overall. It might be at guard, but I have a good feeling that Mauigoa will find a home in the NFL as a high-quality offensive lineman.

Inventory drops for first time since 2023 as sales rebound across coastal Miami, beaches

Inventory of homes and condos across the coastal Miami mainland and Miami Beach and the barrier island markets fell in the first quarter, marking the first big inventory drops since 2023.

The Corcoran Group’s first quarter reports don’t cover all of Miami-Dade County, but they offer insight into how the coastal markets, which have a higher share of luxury properties, are performing.

In Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Bal Harbour, Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, Miami Beach, Fisher Island and Key Biscayne, single-family home inventory dropped 15 percent annually to 398 listings, and condo inventory was down 13 percent to 3,919 listings.

On Miami’s coastal mainland markets, which include Aventura, Miami Shores, Upper East Side, Edgewater, downtown Miami, Brickell, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove, inventory slipped 4 percent to 4,584 condo listings and 555 single-family listings, down 6 percent year-over-year.

Here’s a closer look at the market:

Miami Beach and the barrier islands

Single-family sales rose 13 percent year-over-year to 85 closings, the first time they have increased since the second quarter of 2024. Condo closings rose 15 percent to 693 closings, the first increase since the last quarter of 2024.

Pricing dropped, with the median price of single-family homes down 4 percent to $3.5 million and the median condo price down 9 percent to $640,000. The average price per square foot was nearly flat at $1,119.

Still, buyers set records with their purchases. Billionaire Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg paid $170 million for the waterfront mansion at 7 Indian Creek Island Road, and Starbucks billionaire Howard Schultz paid $44 million, or $7,949 per square foot, for a penthouse at the Four Seasons Residences at The Surf Club.

Coastal mainland

Sales of single-family homes on the coastal mainland rose 16 percent to 220 closings. While markets like Coral Gables experienced declines in condo and single-family home sales, Coconut Grove home sales surged — up over 100 percent for single-family homes to 47 closings and up 55 percent to 87 condo closings. Condo sales rose 13 percent to 759 closings.

The median price of single-family homes across the coastal mainland rose 11 percent to just over $2 million. The median price of condos increased slightly, up 1 percent, to $602,000.

The priciest deals in the first quarter were the $32 million trade of 12 Tahiti Beach Island Road in Coral Gables, and the $19.8 million sale of a penthouse at Vita at Grove Isle.
