10+ min ago (509+ words) Since their inception in 1961, the Angels have had plenty of big moments over the years and have seen their players accomplish numerous feats. They've thrown 13 no-hitters (three combined), hit for the cycle nine times and turned six triple plays while seeing their players win seven MVP Awards, three Rookie of the Year Awards, two Cy Young Awards and a batting title. But there was no bigger year for the franchise than 2002, when it won its first and only World Series title. It's a reason why several moments from that title run appear on this list of the Top 10 moments in Angels history, as selected by MLB.com's Rhett Bollinger. 2.

51+ min ago (483+ words) The Chicago Cubs could be leaning heavily on their starting rotation to win games in the 2026 MLB season. As a result, Chicago could bolster their unit even more with Japanese free agent pitcher, Tatsuya Imai. Moreover, the Cubs have one thing in their favor: Imai has no interest in heading to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Imai noted that he wants to take down the reigning back-to-back World Series champions. With Imai looking outside the Los Angeles bubble, Marquee Sports Network's Bruce Levine urged the Cubs to do whatever it takes to get the 27-year-old. "Here's the thing about the Chicago Cubs that we don't realize: They're a big-market team, even though people have accused them of not spending like one, and they can absorb some failures," Levine said on December 2 during an appearance on Marquee Sports Network. "Every team must…...

1+ hour, 25+ min ago (552+ words) The Bombers have signed Irishman Cillian Bourke ESSENDON has confirmed the signing of Irish teenager Cillian Bourke as a Category B rookie. Bourke has signed a two-year deal with the Bombers, the club confirmed on Wednesday. The 19-year-old got his chance to impress at the Telstra AFL Draft Combine in October, while he was named the under-20 player of the year for County Offaly. "It's pretty special to be here, and I can't wait to further experience the professional AFL life," Bourke said. "I first got involved in AFL around July last year. I was contacted to do a couple of sessions in Dublin with some boys who had links to Australia, and after some testing everything started to fall into place. "It's been great getting to know the boys and get stuck into main training. I'm an athletic player…...

3+ hour ago (287+ words) The Angels announced the deal Tuesday with Manoah, who hasn't pitched in the majors since undergoing Tommy John surgery in June 2024. Manoah had spent his entire professional career with the Toronto Blue Jays, who drafted the Florida native 11th overall in 2019. He reached the majors in 2021 and was a rising star in 2022, when he made the AL All-Star team and finished third in the Cy Young Award voting while going 167 with a 2.24 ERA and 180 strikeouts. But Manoah had a miserable start to 2023, eventually getting sent to the minors to fix control issues. He made five starts for the Jays in 2024 before he was sidelined by surgery. He returned to the minors this year, making 10 rehab starts with a 3.96 ERA before he was designated for assignment in late September by eventual AL champion Toronto. The Atlanta Braves claimed him off waivers, but…...

3+ hour, 19+ min ago (592+ words) Cody Ponce of the Hanwha Eagles poses with the trophy after winning the Korea Baseball Organization regular-season MVP award during the awards ceremony at Lotte Hotel World in Seoul, Nov. 24. Yonhap Cody Ponce, the Korean baseball MVP in 2025, has signed with the Toronto Blue Jays.

3+ hour, 33+ min ago (461+ words) The same day the Toronto Blue Jays officially signed Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million deal, they swooped in for another starting pitcher. Right-hander Cody Ponce, making his return to MLB after three years playing in Asia, agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract with Toronto on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan. Ponce was not among Yahoo Sports' top 50 free agents, but he did receive mention as an intriguing player pursuing a comeback. Previously a member of the Pirates organization, Ponce was released by Pittsburgh following the 2022 season. To that point, he held a career 5.86 ERA in the majors. He then opted to try reviving his career overseas, first playing in Japan with the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters and the Rakuten Golden Eagles. That first time in NPB didn't work out too well, as Ponce's 4.54 ERA across three seasons ranked…...

4+ hour, 3+ min ago (431+ words) Perth Scorchers star spinner Alana King has revealed she's been bowling through a broken finger on her spinning hand almost all season. King copped the injury to her pinky finger in the second match of the season against Brisbane Heat on November 12 at Allan Border Field. And despite needing to battle through the pain just to send the ball down every delivery, the international leggie is not happy with her performances so far in WBBL12. King's returns have been well down on her usual output, taking five wickets at 46.2, and the star says she has some thoughts on how she can improve ahead of the Scorcher's crunch clash with Brisbane Heat on Saturday. "From a bowling point of view, there are areas we can tighten up, myself included," King said in the wake of Perth's 30-run victory over Melbourne Renegades at…...
