HONEYWELL AND BOMBARDIER SIGN LANDMARK AGREEMENT TO DELIVER THE NEXT GENERATION OF AVIATION TECHNOLOGY; HONEYWELL UPDATES 2024 OUTLOOK - PR Newswire

CLEVELAND, Ohio — There hasn’t been a whole lot of movement on the free agent market as teams continue to court outfielder Juan Soto, who helped end the Guardians season as a member of the Yankees. Soto has reportedly met with the Yankees, Mets, Dodgers, Red Sox and Blue Jays to discuss what is expected to be a record-setting contract for a position player. There is speculation that Soto could sign before or at the winter meetings which begin Dec. 8 in Dallas. More Guardians coverage Will Guardians find another diamond in the rough this winter?

See our list and how we ranked them. What movement has taken place so far has involved some big-ticket left-handers in Blake Snell and Yusei Kikuchi. Snell (5-3, 3.12, 25 starts) has agreed to terms with the Dodgers on a five-year $182 million deal. Kikuchi (9-10, 4.05, 32 starts) has come to terms with the Angels on a three-year $63 million deal. Last season Snell signed with the Giants in late March and had to re-do spring training, which led to an erratic year. He was not going to make the same mistake this year. Kikuchi started the year with Toronto before being traded to Houston, where he pumped some life into what remained of his season. There are four other free agent left-handers who are drawing considerable interest — Max Fried, Tanner Scott, Sean Manaea and Matthew Boyd. Fried (11-10, 3.25, 29 starts, 174 1/3 innings), Manaea (12-6, 3.47, 32 starts, 181 2/3 innings) and Boyd (2-2, 2.72, eight starts, 39 2/3 innings) are starters. Fried has spent his whole career with Atlanta. Manaea is coming off a career year with the Mets. Boyd, recovering from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, didn’t sign with the Guardians until June 29. He pitched well after five rehab appearances and carried that into the postseason where he allowed one run in 11 2/3 innings over in three starts. Scott is the only reliever among the four. He started the year as Miami’s closer before being traded to San Diego. In 72 appearances, he went 9-6 with a 1.75 ERA and 22 saves. The Guardians have three free agent starters in Boyd, Alex Cobb and Shane Bieber. Manager Stephen Vogt, in the team’s end-of-the-season press conference, said they talked to all three about returning. He said they all expressed an interest in doing so. Bieber is coming off Tommy John surgery and will probably still be rehabbing in the early part of the 2025 season. Cobb is 37 and was hounded by an array of injuries during the year. Boyd, of the three, seemed to be in the best spot to help the Guardians’ shaky rotation in 2025. Boyd is 33 and has been through his share of injuries. The question facing the Guardians is how hard do they push to bring him back? Boyd is said to be drawing plenty of interest on the open market. Plus he’s not positioned to put dent a team’s payroll like Fried or Manaea because his innings were limited because of his injury. The Guardians won the AL Central this year despite fielding one of their weakest rotations in years. They need stablility and outside of Tanner Bibee and durable Ben Lively, it’s hard to see where they’re going to get it with so many questions surrounding the health of Triston McKenzie and Gavin Williams, the inexperience of Joey Cantillo and Logan Allen’s ability to be effective for 30 starts. There is still plenty of time to address the issue, but it’s something that needs attention. Names to remember Right-hander Connor Gillispie , recently non-tendered by the Guardians, has signed a one-year big-league deal with the Braves. Gillispie made his big league debut last season with Cleveland. He posted a 2.25 ERA in eight innings with the Guards. At Class AAA Columbus, he struck out 119 and walked 48 in 113 1/3 innings. Deyvision De Los Santos , who went to spring training with the Guardians as a Rule 5 pick, has been added to Miami’s 40-man roster after hitting .294 (158 for 538) with 40 homers and 120 RBI at three different levels last year for Arizona and Miami. The Guards returned De Los Santos to Arizona at the end of spring training. Oscar Gonzalez, hero of the Guardians’ 2022 postseason , has signed a minor league deal with San Diego. Gonzalez, dropped by the Guardians, spent last season at Triple-A with the Yankees. He hit .294 (84 for 286) with eight homers and 45 for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Lefty Thomas Pannone, a 2013 Cleveland draft pick, has signed a minor league deal with Milwaukee and been invited to big league camp. Pannone, who has appeared in 50 games in the big leagues, was traded to Toronto by Cleveland in 2017 for Joe Smith. The Guardians have assigned Alfonsin Rosario, acquired from the Cubs for Eli Morgan , to Class A Lynchburg. Right-hander Cody Morris, Cleveland’s seventh round pick in 2018, was recently released by the Yankees. He was 6-0 with a 4.03 ERA in 26 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season. The Guardians traded him to the Yankee last December for outfielder Estevan Florial, who filed for free agency after the 2024 season.

Oldacre scores 21 points as No. 5 Texas routs Texas Rio Grande Valley 94-35EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) — J.K. Dobbins will miss at least the next four games after the Los Angeles Chargers placed the running back on injured reserve Saturday. The team also placed safety Alohi Gilman on injured reserve and signed safety Tony Jefferson to the active roster. Dobbins sprained the MCL in his left knee late in the first half of the Chargers’ 30-23 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday. Dobbins is fourth in the AFC in rushing with 766 yards and averages 4.8 yards per carry, third highest among AFC running backs with at least 100 carries. He has been considered among the candidates for AP Comeback Player of the Year after suffering a torn Achilles tendon in last season’s opener. Gus Edwards will be counted on to be the lead back in Dobbins' absence. Edwards missed four games during the middle of the season because of an ankle injury and has 25 carries for 93 yards in three games since returning to the lineup. The Chargers are 7-4 and hold the sixth seed in the AFC going into Sunday's game at NFC South leader Atlanta (6-5). Los Angeles is at Kansas City (10-1) in a prime-time game on Dec. 8, hosts Tampa Bay (5-6) on Dec. 15 and Denver (7-5) on Dec. 19. Gilman suffered a hamstring injury in the loss to the Ravens. He has 47 tackles, which is fifth on the team, along with one sack. Los Angeles also elevated cornerback Dicaprio Bootle and linebacker Jeremiah Jean-Baptiste from the practice squad for Sunday’s game. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflNo. 10 Marquette 94, W.

After their most productive day in a non-overtime game this season, the Denver Nuggets are out to earn consecutive victories for the first time in a month when they play host to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Following a run of seven losses in 11 games -- including one of their two setbacks against the Clippers this season -- the Nuggets turned their offense loose in a 141-111 road victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday as Nikola Jokic scored 48 points with 14 rebounds and eight assists. With three MVP awards in the past four seasons, Jokic is pointed toward another as he leads the NBA in rebounds at 13.6 per game and is second in points (32.3) and assists (10.2). He has 104 points over the past two games but his 56-point outing Saturday ended up in a defeat to the lowly Washington Wizards. Jokic's push for offense coincides with a hamstring injury to Jamal Murray, who missed the past two games and is expected to be listed as questionable for Friday's game. Dario Saric is expected back after he was inactive the past two games with an ankle injury. In his first season with the Nuggets, former Clippers guard Russell Westbrook has averaged 6.4 assists per game. With Murray down, he has averaged 11.5 assists the past two games. "When Russ is out there with Nikola, he's just always looking for him," Nuggets head coach Michael Malone said. "He's always trying to find him. And that makes complete sense to me. You're playing with the best player in the world. You might want to give him the ball." The Clippers' Norman Powell has averaged 32.5 points in the two victories over the Nuggets and leads Los Angeles with 23.6 points per game this season. While Powell has returned from a recent hamstring injury, James Harden (groin) was absent from Sunday's 117-106 home loss to the Atlanta Hawks, as was Terance Mann (finger). Kawhi Leonard (knee) has not played this season but has finally returned to practice as he nears his season debut. The hope for Los Angeles head coach Tyronn Lue was to hold things together as best as possible until Leonard returned, and a 14-11 record through the first two months appears to have to accomplished that goal. Leonard won't travel with the team for Friday's game, but his return to practice has made an impact. "It raised our energy just for our guys to see him on the floor," Lue said. "It brought a juice to our team, so we needed that jolt, especially going through the schedule we've been through. It was really good to see him out there." Instead of playing it passive until Leonard returns, the Clippers have ramped up their defense, which has allowed 107.4 points per game. It is the fifth-best mark in the NBA. The 35-year-old Harden has raised his game for the Clippers by averaging 21.6 points, his most since the 2021-22 season. He has also averaged 8.5 assists with 6.8 rebounds while playing in 24 of 25 games. --Field Level MediaBaltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson, the reigning NFL Most Valuable Player, leads fan balloting for the 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games after one week of voting, the league announced on Monday.
