YOURSAY | Govt should do more to control soaring food pricesAmid shifting political tides, NYC Mayor Adams leaves door open to becoming a RepublicanCrochet was 6-12 with a 3.58 ERA in 32 starts for the White Sox last season. Selected 11th overall by Chicago in the 2020 amateur draft, Crochet made his big-league debut that September. He had a 2.82 ERA in 2021 while striking out 65 in 54 1/3 innings, then had Tommy John surgery on April 5, 2022. He didn't return to the major leagues until May 18, 2023. Teel is rated Boston's No. 4 prospect by MLB.com , Meidroth No. 11, Gonzalez 14th and Montgomery 54th. Ex-Highlander traded twice Former Radford University standout Spencer Horwitz was dealt not once but twice Tuesday night in the first two trades of the winter meetings in Dallas. The AL Central champion Cleveland Guardians sent three-time Gold Glove second baseman Andrés Giménez and reliever Nick Sandlin to the Toronto Blue Jays for Horwitz and outfielder Nick Mitchell. Cleveland didn't even have time to welcome Horwitz before shipping him to the Pittsburgh Pirates for right-hander Luis Ortiz and lefties Michael Kennedy and Josh Hartle. Ortiz could slide immediately into a starting slot after going 7-6 with a 3.32 ERA last season. Horwitz, 27, hit .265 with 12 homers and 40 RBIs in 97 games for Toronto last season. He played both first base and second base, but Pittsburgh plans to use him primarily at first base. The 26-year-old Giménez batted .252 with nine homers, 63 RBIs and 30 steals last season. While the Guardians have always valued his stellar defense, they'd like to get more offensive production from the bottom of their lineup and weren't getting it from Giménez. Bieber re-signs with Guardians Former Cy Young winner Shane Bieber re-signed with the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, a reunion that seemed unlikely when he became a free agent. However, the 29-year-old Bieber decided to stay with the AL Central champions after making just two starts in 2024 before undergoing Tommy John surgery. Bieber, who is 62-32 with a 3.22 ERA in 132 starts, agreed last week to a one-year, $14 million contract. The deal includes a $16 million player option for 2026. Rangers acquire Marlins' Burger The Texas Rangers acquired slugging corner infielder Jake Burger from the Miami Marlins on Wednesday in a trade for three minor league players. Burger hit .250 with 29 home runs and 76 RBIs in 137 games for the Marlins last season, with 150 strikeouts in 535 at-bats with 31 walks. Miami got infielders Max Acosta and Echedry Vargas and left-handed pitcher Brayan Mendoza. Pitchers dominate Rule 5 draft Pitchers comprised 11 of the 15 unprotected players who were picked in the Rule 5 draft at the winter meetings. The 121-loss Chicago White Sox had the first pick and selected 24-year-old right-hander Shane Smith from Milwaukee's organization. The 6-foot-4, 235-pound Wake Forest product has gone 13-7 with a 2.69 ERA and 203 strikeouts over 157 innings in 19 starts and 54 relief appearances over three minor-league seasons. Atlanta chose right-hander Anderson Pilar from Miami with the 11th pick, and then took infielder Christian Cairo from Cleveland with the 15th and final pick in the MLB portion. Two of the four position players taken Wednesday by other teams came from Detroit: catcher Liam Hicks and third baseman Gage Workman. Miami drafted second after Colorado passed making a selection, and took Hicks. Workman was taken by the Chicago Cubs with the 10th pick. Baltimore lost two right-handed pitchers on back-to-back picks, Juan Nunez to San Diego with the 12th pick before Connor Thomas went to Milwaukee. Cleveland announcer wins Frick Award Tom Hamilton, who has called Cleveland games on the radio for 35 seasons, won the Hall of Fame’s Ford C. Frick Award for excellence in broadcasting on Wednesday. Hamilton, 70, joined the team's broadcast in 1990, when he was with Herb Score in the booth and part of the coverage of their World Series appearances in 1995 and 1997. Hamilton became the voice of the franchise when Score retired after that second World Series. RED SOX: Boston signed hard-throwing reliever Aroldis Chapman to a $10.75 million, one-year contract. The 36-year-old left-hander gives the Red Sox a potential closer, with incumbent Kenley Jansen on the free agent market. He went 5-5 with 14 saves and a 3.79 ERA in 68 appearances for Pittsburgh this year. TIGERS: Alex Cobb has signed a $15 million, one-year contract with Detroit, adding a veteran right-hander to the Tigers' rotation. The 37-year-old Cobb went 2-1 with a 2.76 ERA in just three games for the Guardians this year. He also pitched in two postseason games.

Indiana quarterback Rourke earns Jon Cornish Trophy as top Canadian in NCAA football(WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.) — First it was , then the . Now, again wants . The President-elect is renewing unsuccessful for the U.S. to buy Greenland from Denmark, adding to the list of allied countries with which he's picking fights even before taking office on Jan. 20. In a Sunday announcement naming his ambassador to Denmark, Trump wrote that, “For purposes of National Security and Freedom throughout the World, the United States of America feels that the ownership and control of Greenland is an absolute necessity." Trump again having designs on Greenland comes after the President-elect suggested over the weekend that the U.S. could retake control of the Panama Canal if something isn't done to ease rising shipping costs required for using the waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. He's also been suggesting that Canada become the 51st U.S. state and referred to Canadian Prime Minister as “governor” of the “Great State of Canada.” Stephen Farnsworth, a political science professor at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Virginia, said Trump tweaking friendly countries harkens back to an aggressive style he used during his days in business. “You ask something unreasonable and it’s more likely you can get something less unreasonable,” said Farnsworth, who is also author of the book “Presidential Communication and Character.” Greenland, the world’s largest island, sits between the Atlantic and Arctic oceans. It is 80% covered by an ice sheet and is home to a large U.S. military base. It gained home rule from Denmark in 1979 and its head of government, Múte Bourup Egede, suggested that Trump’s latest calls for U.S. control would be as meaningless as those made in his first term. “Greenland is ours. We are not for sale and will never be for sale,” he said in a statement. “We must not lose our years-long fight for freedom.” Trump after his was rejected by Copenhagen, and ultimately . He also suggested Sunday that the U.S. is getting “ripped off” at the Panama Canal. “If the principles, both moral and legal, of this magnanimous gesture of giving are not followed, then we will demand that the Panama Canal be returned to the United States of America, in full, quickly and without question,” he said. Panama President responded in a video that “every square meter of the canal belongs to Panama and will continue to,” but Trump fired back on his social media site, “We’ll see about that!” The President-elect also posted a picture of a U.S. flag planted in the canal zone under the phrase, “Welcome to the United States Canal!” The United States built the canal in the early 1900s but relinquished control to on Dec. 31, 1999, under a treaty signed in 1977 by President . The canal depends on reservoirs that were hit by 2023 droughts that forced it to substantially reduce the number of daily slots for crossing ships. With fewer ships, administrators also increased the fees that shippers are charged to reserve slots to use the canal. The Greenland and Panama flareups followed Trump recently posting that “Canadians want Canada to become the 51st State" and offering an image of himself superimposed on a mountaintop surveying surrounding territory next to a Canadian flag. Trudeau about annexing his country, but the pair met recently at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida to discuss Trump's threats to impose on all Canadian goods. “Canada is not going to become part of the United States, but Trump’s comments are more about leveraging what he says to get concessions from Canada by putting Canada off balance, particularly given the precarious current political environment in Canada,” Farnsworth said. “Maybe claim a win on trade concessions, a tighter border or other things.” He said the situation is similar with Greenland. “What Trump wants is a win," Farnsworth said. "And even if the American flag doesn’t raise over Greenland, Europeans may be more willing to say yes to something else because of the pressure.” __ Associated Press Writer Gary Fields in Washington contributed to this report.
