Jed Hoyer on Theo leaving the Cubs: "I'll miss the daily wagers that never get paid off. I'll miss hearing about your latest 47 yd field goal attempt. I'll miss the random mid 80's references to the Patriots or early 90's to the Celtics. I don't know what my life is going to be like without anyone comparing players to Mosi Tatupu or Acie Earl. I'll miss calling you Al Davis once a week when you walk in the office in a sweat suit. I'll miss all the laughs, almost all at my expense."

Derek Jeter, then the All-Star shortstop of the Yankees, was the presenter 6/15/2000 in New York when WISE — Women in Sports and Events — honored his team's then-Assistant General Manager Kim Ng as one of its women of the year. Ng, who turns 52 on Tuesday, is now the first female GM of an American men's professional sports team after her hiring Friday by Jeter, CEO of the Miami Marlins.

Justin Turner said he was "blindsided" by the positive test and that he watched the last two innings from a TV in a doctor's office alongside his wife. "I sincerely apologize to everyone on the field for failing to appreciate the risks of returning to the field," Turner wrote.
Alden Gonzalez ESPN Staff Writer
In a statement, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said Justin Turner was "actively encouraged" to return to the field by teammates despite his positive COVID test and an unidentified person told Turner other teammates also tested positive, which made Turner believe he was being singled out.

Julio Urias will begin the top of the ninth, with the Dodgers up two runs, but Blake Treinen has begun to warm up. The bottom half of the Rays' lineup awaits.
Alden Gonzalez ESPN Staff Writer
Five scoreless innings for Blake Snell, who has struck out nine batters, has allowed one baserunner, has thrown 69 pitches and has been nothing short of dominant. But the Dodgers trail by only a run. The Rays' offense is letting them hang around.

Dave Roberts was hoping for a five- to six-inning start from Tony Gonsolin tonight. It began with a high-stress, 25-pitch first inning that saw Alex Wood warm up. Gonsolin was fortunate to get out of it with only one run.
Alden Gonzalez ESPN Staff Writer
Dave Roberts said yesterday that Tony Gonsolin, pitching on a normal five-day schedule for the first time all month, will function as a traditional starting pitcher tonight. But Rays manager Kevin Cash is prepared for him to be much less than that. Everyone except Walker Buehler, Clayton Kershaw and Julio Urias are available out of the Dodgers' bullpen.
