In the three years since Shohei Ohtani struck out Mike Trout to end a riveting 2023 World Baseball Classic, winning the tournament in 2026 has consumed Mark DeRosa’s every thought. To give his team the best chance, the Team USA manager knew there had to be a shift. "You see it from every other country, their best arms show up," DeRosa said at the winter meetings in early December. "For […]

Phoenix Raceway (Avondale, Ariz.) — The venue is kind of new but it’s the same old INDYCAR question heading into the second race of the season. How are teams going to beat Alex Palou?

Nearly three years ago, Edwin Diaz got Teoscar Hernandez looking with an inside slider on the 10th pitch of the at-bat and raised his hands into the air as his Team Puerto Rico teammates emptied out of the dugout to celebrate in Miami.

As far as high-pressure moments go, Tuesday night was chock-full of them for March Madness hopefuls living life on the bubble. Three of those teams scored upsets over ranked opponents when UCLA toppled No. 9 Nebraska, TCU upended No. 10 Texas Tech and Georgia dispatched No. 16 Alabama.

No player fits the mystique of the Las Vegas Raiders better than edge rusher Maxx Crosby, who headlines the franchise’s pre-game introductions on game days and remains one of the most popular players among fans of the Silver and Black. Raiders general manager John Spytek understands that sentiment, saying at the NFL Scouting Combine that he expects Crosby to remain with the Raiders for the upcoming season. "Maxx is an […]

In a conversation with reporters on Tuesday, Los Angeles Rams general manager Les Snead hinted at the possibility his franchise could make another big splash, exchanging premium picks for premium players. Well, Snead and the Rams went back into "F them picks" mode on Wednesday.
