With just over four weeks until the NBA trade deadline, the Golden State Warriors have some big decisions to make in regards to their young core and their chances of winning another title. The 2022-23 NBA season has been very rocky for the defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors, but they have also had to face a ton of adversity in regards to…

Trey Mancini has had colon cancer, left a city in which his connection to the fanbase was undeniable, headed south to Houston and won a World Series, so it is safe to say the free-agency process and a potential move north to Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs will not rattle the outfielder. The report on the veteran is just one at the forefront of…

You can barely see it from here. There's too much clutter in the path to a Golden State Warriors championship, too many signs that it just won't happen this time around. Rest assured, the rest of the NBA doesn't view it that way. Nor does this column, eternally bound to a simple proclamation: No team can match Golden State at playoff time…

Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings are in the rearview mirror, but there's still plenty of time before the holidays for more moves to be completed. Let's round up the news and rumors for Sunday right here. We'll be updating this throughout the day, so definitely come back. The Yankees are reportedly preparing to make an offer to left-hander…

The other player grabbed rebounds and fired precise passes into the "shooting pocket," where his teammate could catch the ball and instantly let fly. Curry didn't relax when it was his turn to rebound. He challenged himself. "Steph would always try to not let the ball hit the ground, either out of the net or chasing down a long rebound," said Steve…

This year's free-agent market for relievers was long known to be a weak one, and teams, knowing that, went all out to retain their best free-agent arms before they ever reached the market -- like Edwin Díaz, Robert Suarez and Rafael Montero. What's left, then, is a collection of older pitchers coming off mostly uncertain seasons. You might have to…

There's no holding back any longer, Serra football coach Patrick Walsh said Sunday. Not after his team earned its eighth Central Coast Section title by beating Mitty 41-14 on Friday to extend its winning streak to 13. Not heading into a test against national power St. John Bosco-Bellflower in the Dec. 10 state Open Division championship game at…

There is more to the San Francisco Giants' offseason than the Great Aaron Judge Pursuit. Judge, the All-Star outfielder from Linden (San Joaquin County), is certainly San Francisco's top target, and there appears to have been a sea change in thinking about where he'll land. After an MVP-worthy season with the Yankees, the consensus was that he'd…

The big question now is whether Haase still will be around when Carlyle enrolls next year. After six seasons without an NCAA Tournament appearance (even allowing for 2020's pandemic cancellation of the tournament), Haase enters Monday's opener against Pacific facing heightened stakes: Another March Madness absence could mean the end of his Stanford…

At least from a financial standpoint, nothing the team has accomplished under Lacob - the four NBA titles in eight years, the numerous business awards, the sellout streaks - offers better validation than Thursday's news: The Warriors are by far the most valuable team in the league. According to Forbes' latest estimates, Golden State is worth $7…

The Oakland Athletics' contingent at the Arizona Fall League includes prospects getting an opportunity to impress - six of their eight players there are ranked in the system's top 20 by MLB Pipeline - and a chance for several to make up innings and at-bats lost to ailments during the season. At the forefront of that group are infielder Zack Gelof,…

You've seen the political ads on your television. You've heard them on the radio. You may have even seen a billboard or two. There's been no shortage of money spent on Proposition 27. But what exactly is Prop 27, and who supports and opposes it? Let's start with the "what." If you ever tune into a sports broadcast or listen to a sports podcast, the…

California voters are set to consider seven measures on November's ballot, among them two competing sports betting initiatives. Campaign spending has already broken records, with a high-dollar fight between tribal casino interests and heavyweight sportsbook operators taking center stage, with no signs of slowing down with just a few weeks to…

Aaron Judge can practically taste history. The New York Yankees slugging outfielder is one home run shy of tying Roger Maris' Yankees and American League single-season record of 61 home runs. BUY YANKEES TICKETS: STUBHUB, VIVID SEATS, TICKETSMARTER, TICKETMASTER But time is ticking. The Yankees have nine regular season games left, and Judge hasn't…

The back-and-forth battle over potential California sports betting legislation is coming to a head. After months of excessive advertising spending, the sportsbook-backed "Yes on 27" campaign is scaling back its ad spend. The campaign backing Proposition 27, the bill to legalize online sports betting in California, is slashing its ad buy in major TV…

The San Jose Sharks reached a settlement with former forward Evander Kane and the NHL Players' Association on Friday following months of negotiations. Kane was released by the Sharks in early January for what the team called "breach of his NHL Standard Player Contract and for violation of the AHL COVID-19 protocols." At the time, Kane was in the…
