Kelly picked up a bouncing puck that neither Sharks defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic nor Justin Braun could handle at center to break in alone on goalie Martin Jones. Burns’ wrist shot from the top of the right circle sailed over the left glove of Ottawa goalie Mike Condon while the teams were skating 4-on-4. San Jose defenseman Paul Martin earned his 300th career point on the lone assist. Couture continued his recent... Читать дальше...

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — With Jarrod Dyson remaining a possible center-field fit for the A’s, general manager David Forst said it’s unlikely the team would add a player before the winter meetings end Thursday. Just things move at different speeds, said Forst, suggesting there’s no rush to make a trade or sign a free agent. Dyson, who hit .278 with a .340 on-base percentage and 30 steals for Kansas City, would fill holes in center and atop the lineup. The Royals, after dealing closer Wade Davis to the Cubs for Jorge Soler... Читать дальше...

LOS ANGELES — It wasn’t until Rick Barry retired from basketball in 1980 that he fully appreciated the man who called his Warriors games. Barry came to appreciate the nuances of King’s style: the excitement in his voice after a big play, the way he verbalized plays as they unfolded and how he seemed to find the right word no matter the situation. “I think he’s one of the awesome broadcasters of all time,” Barry said of the late King, who was named the winner of the Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2017 Ford C.

Free-agent closer Aroldis Chapman and the Yankees reached agreement Wednesday night on an $86 million, five-year deal, pending a physical, according to a person familiar with the contract.

NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. — The Mark Melancon signing pretty much ended any talk of the Giants adding another player with a big contract. The only way the team could take on that type of player — J.D. Martinez, anybody? — is by moving a player with a similar salary, according to general manager Bobby Evans. “We just don’t have that kind of tradeable contracts,” Evans said Wednesday at the winter meetings, suggesting the Giants’ payroll is close to maxing out. The Giants have 11 big-money players signed to multiyear deals... Читать дальше...
