ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Los Angeles Dodgers finalized their second major move this offseason on Saturday, acquiring Tyler Glasnow from the Tampa Bay Rays in a four-player trade after the pitcher agreed to a $136.5 million, five-year contract.Los Angeles also received outfielder Manuel Margot and sent the Rays young right-hander Ryan Pepiot and outfielder Jonny DeLuca.A week after signing free agent Shohei Ohtani to a record $700 million, 10-year contract to bolster an already potent lineup, the Dodgers addressed a need for pitching help with the addition of an often-injured, hard-throwing right-hander with a track record of being a dominant performer when healthy.A 30-year-old right-hander, Glasnow had one season remaining at $25 million and would have been eligible for free agency after next season.

UK’s Sunak likens Italy’s Meloni to Margaret Thatcher

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:31:48 GMT

ROME — U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak likened Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to Margaret Thatcher as he called on European leaders to channel the old Conservative British leader’s “radicalism” and challenge decades-old rules around refugees.“Thatcher understood that ideas are only important if they can be implemented,” Sunak said in a speech at the governing Brothers of Italy party’s right-wing Atreju festival in Rome. “She never backed down even when the fight was hard, and today we have to apply Thatcher’s radicalism to illegal immigration.”Both leaders have put migration front and center since they took office in November 2022. Last month, Meloni brokered a deal to process asylum applications in neighboring Albania; and earlier this week the U.K. won parliamentary acceptance for its contentious plan to deport certain migrants to Rwanda.“If we do not tackle this problem, the numbers will only grow,” Sunak said in a short speech on Saturday. “It will...

NFL notes: Inside the Dirty Show, one of the last hallmarks of New England’s dynasty

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:31:48 GMT

In the early days of the Patriots’ dynasty, the defense that frustrated Tom Brady most often was his own.Not the legendary starting units that shared Brady’s locker room and sideline, but their backups: The Dirty Show.The Patriots’ scout-team defense earned its “Dirty Show” nickname from former linebackers coach Pepper Johnson, who orchestrated the unit that pestered Brady in practice, occasionally to the point of repeated outbursts. Offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien once referred to Johnson as the best scout-team coach ever; a coach who turned a mash unit of backups into a loud and proud defense that brought out the worst in the greatest of all time.Unlike most franchise hallmarks from that era, the Dirty Show tradition remains fiercely alive in Foxboro.“It’s about dudes who want to grind every day, show up to work and have fun doing it,” said Pats cornerback Alex Austin.According to Dirty Show cast members who previously playe...
