The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired three-time Cy Young best pitcher winner Max Scherzer and 2021 All-Star infielder Trea Turner while division rivals the San Francisco Giants nabbed slugger Kris Bryant ahead of MLB's trade deadline on Friday. Hard-throwing right hander Scherzer is 8-4 with a 2.76 earned run average (ERA) in 19 games this season while Turner is hitting .322 with 18 home runs and 49 runs batted in (RBIs). Both players join the defending champions from the Washington Nationals in return for prospects.
The Lions can secure a series victory with a win in the second Test in Cape Town.
Jamie Cudmore, the former Canada captain and current assistant coach, is facing disciplinary action over an extraordinary Twitter rant in which he celebrated the failure of his country’s women’s sevens team to reach the quarter-finals of the Olympics. Cudmore, who played in four World Cups and won the French championship before retiring four years ago, wrote a string of offensive posts in apparent response to the team having made a series of complaints that led to the departure of their head coa
This is not the first time the men have voiced their support for the women's gender discrimination lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation, which seeks $66 million in damages under the Equal Pay Act. But this time it comes at a critical juncture as the women appeal a district court ruling from May 2020 that sided with the Federation with the hopes of having the case sent back to district court to be heard by a jury. "The Federation has never offered or provided equal pay to the women, and the district court's holding to the contrary cannot be squared with the facts."
The 30-year-old England all-rounder is prioritising his mental health.
It was Wyatt’s way Friday afternoon as the dynamic England opener crunched a six into the stands to take the Southern Brave to three wins from three. Chasing 141 to win, Danni Wyatt’s unbeaten 69 from 40 balls made short work of the target as she carried her bat to see her side home with 18 balls to spare against Birmingham Phoenix. It was unfamiliar territory at first for Southern Brave at the Rose Bowl, whose unbeaten streak in the tournament to date had rested on some disciplined bowling disp
They hail from Sri Lanka, enjoy 30-second rubs in U.S. mud, get top-notch service in Japan because of the pandemic and are called the best in the world by Joe Ryan, an Olympian who played the game of his life on Friday. Made by Japan sporting goods company SSK Corp in Sri Lanka, the roughly 145g white spheres with red laces and black-ink logos are gaining attention at the Olympics for several reasons. When the Olympics last held baseball in 2008, balls came from Japanese rival Mizuno Corp, which still supply softballs, but lost the baseball deal.
The 21-year-old was close to joining the Eagles last summer.
The BBC under Lord Hall surrendered the full television rights to this summer’s Olympics to avoid losing future Games to ITV, the corporation has admitted. Coverage of Tokyo 2020, the first Summer Games to be shared by the BBC and Discovery-owned Eurosport, has been widely criticised amid a lack of free-to-air live action and a series of pay-TV blunders. The BBC was forced to apologise again on Friday after failing to show Kye Whyte claiming a BMX silver medal on BBC One, instead broadcasting pr
The clubs – Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus – still endorsing the project say they are continuing to develop the project.
The schisms within British Rowing were unmasked so mercilessly that you could even spot them in the same boat. Take the moment when a bedraggled men’s eight staggered out on to the pontoon at Tokyo’s Sea Forest Waterway, having claimed the bronze to conclude an Olympic regatta like no other. Seven of the crew, all making their Games debuts, looked relieved to have secured a medal of any colour. But off to the side was Moe Sbihi, the one man with experience of what it meant to win gold. He was do
Could a Super Saturday be on the cards for Team GB?
Beth Shriever won gold and Kye Whyte took silver.
Arsenal sign £50m Ben White and want Bellerín and Xhaka to extend contracts
Argentina goalkeeper Juan Vivaldi hopes his team mates will join him in getting an Olympic tattoo if the reigning champions come out on top of the men's hockey tournament at the Tokyo Games. Since men's hockey debuted at the 1908 London Games, India, the Netherlands and Germany are the only nations to have won the men's gold at two consecutive Olympics. So it would be nothing short of historic for Argentina to do the same.
Stokes, 30, has withdrawn from England's test squad for next week's series against India and will be replaced by Craig Overton. The ECB said it fully supported his decision and it would "continue to help him during this period away from the game".
The 30-year-old all-rounder will play no part in the forthcoming Test series against India.
The defender has been out for nine months after anterior cruciate ligament surgery on his right knee.
England have suffered a major blow in their chances of beating India in their five-Test series after Ben Stokes confirmed he is taking an indefinite period of leave from cricket to “prioritise his mental wellbeing”. It is understood that a variety of pressures on Stokes, 30, have culminated in this decision which will effectively deprive England of their star all-rounder for all seven Tests this summer, as he missed the first two against New Zealand in June and is unlikely to find an opportunity
The left-back was one of the Azzurri’s standout performers as they won every game to be crowned European champions, but suffered an Achilles tendon injury in their quarter-final victory over Belgium. Spinazzola underwent surgery earlier this month and will join up with a new-look Roma side led by Jose Mourinho when he completes his recovery. "I met Mourinho and he is a genuine person, this is the most important thing," Spinazzola said.
