[ad_1] A path exists for the Dodgers to sign free-agent shortstop Dansby Swanson. Not an obvious path. Not an especially likely path.

The Dodgers, fearing they might owe tens of millions in salary and luxury-tax penalties if an arbitrator reduces or overturns Trevor Bauer’s two-year suspension, are proceeding with caution this offseason. They are not unwilling to spend amid the Bauer uncertainty, as evidenced by their…

[ad_1] Brock Purdy got a road win on Thursday and a good follow-up with the 49ers team trainers on Friday. Kyle Shanahan said that Purdy, who is battling a sore oblique muscle and rib injury, didn’t do any further damage in the 21-13 win in Seattle. “He’s feeling better today, actually, than he was early in the week,” Shanahan said. “He got out healthy and he’ll be a lot better for the next week.” Due to the Christmas holiday, the next game is on a Saturday, which means another oddball…

[ad_1] Here are my game projections for the NFL’s Week 15. If you’re new to this series, I project the score for every game and the chance of victory for every team using my NFL betting model. The model phases out older data and uses data from this year as the season progresses. My NFL betting model takes in a flurry of different metrics and creates a projection for each team.

[ad_1] As the hum of an expectant crowd started to grow in the hour before another World Cup game kicked off, I stood in the distance, contemplating my choices. After being tasked to find beer during a largely dry World Cup, I accepted another challenge that ensured my body would vow to plot its revenge against me down the road: Eating as many items from the concession stands at World Cup stadiums and the media cafes. Why would anyone do this, you’re wondering? Stadium food becomes a necessity while covering…
