PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Pirates added another veteran left-hander to fill out their starting rotation, agreeing Monday with Martín Pérez on an $8 million, one-year deal.The agreement with the 32-year-old, who won a World Series with Texas in November, is pending a physical, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press.

Dan Campbell wants Lions to focus on division title over everything else

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:11:43 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — Dan Campbell isn’t worried about which combination of results will clinch a playoff spot for his Detroit Lions.Campbell made it clear before the season that he had one goal for this season, and he hasn’t wavered.“We came into this season to win the division,” he said Monday. “That was the goal and that’s still our focus. If something happens between now and then to get us a playoff spot, that’s all good. But we talked about that this morning as a team. That was the focus at the beginning of the season and that’s still the focus.”Lions fans haven’t seen a division title since 1993, and going into Saturday night, there was reason to fear Detroit might miss out again. After a 5-1 start, they had gone 4-3 and were lucky to have done that well. They beat the Chargers 41-38 on a last-second field goal, needed a late-game collapse by the Bears to win 31-26 and nearly blew a 21-0 lead before hanging on to beat the Saints 33-28.Coming off a ...

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey each promoted the other player’s candidacy for MVP after another dominating performance for the San Francisco 49ers.Both have worthy cases as they keep piling up yards and touchdowns at a staggering pace that has positioned the Niners as the league’s most dangerous offense following a 45-29 victory Sunday over the Arizona Cardinals.It’s a great luxury for the 49ers (11-3).“It means the offense is playing really well,” left tackle Trent Williams said. “We have the best running back in the NFL, so for him to get MVP consideration I think that’s his just due. Same with Brock, he’s been playing his butt off and for him to be in the conversation and to have him as a teammate, I couldn’t be more proud of both of these guys.”Purdy threw four more touchdown passes Sunday to take over the NFL lead to go along with his league-best 119 passer rating and 9.9 yards per attempt.McCaffrey gained 187 yards from scrimma...

Bears are reeling after blowing another double-digit lead in loss at Cleveland

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:11:43 GMT

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears were inching closer toward playoff contention with a 10-point lead and another win in sight.That’s one reason why a 20-17 loss at Cleveland stung so much. And a night to sleep on it didn’t exactly ease the pain.“I think it stings more,” tight end Cole Kmet said Monday. “Felt pretty good that if you win out that we could do something here. I thought things were kinda coming together for us as a team and yeah, just disappointing to fall short there and especially feeling like we built some momentum in previous weeks.”The Bears were in position to win their third straight game and match their best streak since a three-game run late in 2020, only to squander a double-digit, fourth-quarter lead for the third time in a loss. They came up short when Darnell Mooney let a Hail Mary pass squirt through his hands as he fell backward.Chicago can point to a whole bunch of reasons for the loss besides that final play, from an offense that str...
