NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The New York Yankees have acquired All-Star slugger Juan Soto in a trade with the cost-cutting San Diego Padres, according to two people with knowledge of the deal.The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday night because the trade had not yet been announced by either team.It’s the second blockbuster deal involving the 25-year-old Soto in less than two years.

SAO PAULO (AP) — One of the most exciting seasons of the Brazilian league ended Wednesday with the most stable team of the year defending its title and the club that was home to the late Pelé relegated for the first time.

The 18-year-old Endrick scored his 11th goal of the season to give Palmeiras an early lead and Nikao equalized in the 80th minute at the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte.
