Former Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon retires from soccer at age 45

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:20:15 GMT

PARMA, Italy (AP) — At age 45 and after a career that included a World Cup title with Italy, a long list of trophies with Juventus and many years when he was considered among the best goalkeepers in soccer, Gianluigi Buffon announced his retirement on Wednesday.Buffon had one season remaining on his contract with Parma in Serie B and therefore leaves the sport with the same team that he began his professional career with nearly three decades ago.“That’s all folks! You gave me everything. I gave you everything. We did it together,” Buffon wrote on Instagram.The pinnacle of Buffon’s career came during the 2006 World Cup, when he conceded only two goals during the seven matches of the Azzurri’s run to the trophy. Neither of those two goals were scored by opponents during open play. One was an own-goal by teammate Cristian Zaccardo and the other was a penalty kick by Zinedine Zidane during the final.At Juventus, Buffon was the backbone behind 10 Serie A titles and stayed with the club e...

The arms race in the AL West began with Lucas Giolito and quickly escalated.After the Los Angeles Angels acquired Giolito and signaled their intentions to make a bid for the postseason, division rivals Texas and Houston answered with some big moves of their own, acquiring Max Scherzerand Justin Verlander before Tuesday’s trade deadline. That should set up quite a race down the stretch.Scherzer and Verlander, who were previously teammates with both the Tigers and Mets, were dealt by New York to two AL West rivals. Verlander returns to Houston less than a year after winning the Cy Young Award with the Astros. That was the third of his career, matching Scherzer’s total.Here’s a look at the biggest buyers and sellers at this year’s deadline, and how they’ve reshaped their futures:BUYERSTexas Rangers (61-46, first place in AL West)Acquired: C Austin Hedges, LHP Jordan Montgomery, C Kevin Plawecki, RHP Max Scherzer and RHP Chris Stratton.Traded: SS Luisangel Acuña, RHP Spencer...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:20:15 GMT

Former President Donald Trump’s rivals for the GOP presidential nomination were quick to issue statements Tuesday evening after federal prosecutors charged him with conspiring to seize a second term after losing the 2020 election.Most respected the dominant view of the GOP base that Trump is being railroaded:Tim Scott was among those pivoting to Hunter Biden: “What we see today are two different tracks of justice. One for political opponents and another for the son of the current president.”Vivek Ramaswamy repeated his promise to pardon Trump and said Jan. 6 was the result of censorship: “Donald Trump isn’t the cause of what happened on Jan 6. The real cause was systematic & pervasive censorship of citizens in the year leading up to it.”Ron DeSantis, who has also said he would pardon Trump of any federal crimes, leaned into the idea that any Washington jury was inherently unjust: “Washington, DC is a ‘swamp’ and it is unfair to have t...

‘They made it really easy.’ After playing a waiting game, Jed Hoyer buys in on Chicago Cubs roster at trade deadline.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:20:15 GMT

Jeimer Candelario, back in the Wrigley Field home dugout for the first time almost exactly six years later, glanced down at his new first baseman’s mitt.Well, not really new but borrowed, a smiling Candelario noted. Written in script across the light blue glove is Chicago Cubs teammate Miguel Amaya’s name. Acquired Monday by the organization, Candelario started at first base Tuesday night against the Cincinnati Reds.It’s a position manager David Ross said the 29-year-old switch hitter will play a “significant amount.” Except Candelario, who hasn’t played first base since 2020 in Detroit, no longer owns a first baseman’s mitt. He bought a couple after that season but then didn’t play the position the following year and he gave them away.So, for now, he is borrowing Amaya’s, but it’s Candelario’s offense and the power he adds to the Cubs that makes his addition especially valuable over the next two months as they try to...

Past month was about ‘putting Chicago White Sox in as good a position possible going forward.’ So where do they stand now?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:20:15 GMT

There was a lot of dialogue between the Chicago White Sox and other teams leading up to Tuesday’s trade deadline.“There was, as usual and really just the nature of the beast, a lot of at times erroneous or contradictory information out there about what we would do or what we wouldn’t do or who we’d listen on and who we want,” Sox general manager Rick Hahn said during a video conference call Tuesday. “And the reality is that from the start of this process, we entered the entire thing extremely open-minded.“That’s how you end up with a Jake Burger for (Jake) Eder deal. Obviously far, far more deals did not come to fruition than the six that did, but even those conversations could help us come this offseason. Sometimes these conversations take a little longer. Different periods for player acquisition have different results. But we got a good sense of the value of many of our players, potential fits for not only the past few days but for t...
