History awaits Mishriff in the third running of the $20 million Saudi Cup, where victory would make him the sport's leading prize-money earner of all time. With a cool $10m (£7.5m/€9m) to the winner, a repeat Saudi Cup win would take him clear of global giants Winx, Arrogate and Almond Eye at the top of the money list and cement his legacy among…

Yemen and Saudi Arabia will kickstart their quest to win the Arabian Gulf Cup when they square off on Friday. Yemen have not been in action since falling to a 2-0 defeat to Mongolia in an Asian Cup qualifier in June last year. Ganbayar Ganbold scored a brace in the game to fire his nation to victory.

Imagine a starting rotation of Luis Castillo, Alek Manoah and Kevin Gausman. And then add in a little hope for the future with Jose Berrios and Hyun-jin Ryu, and the dependability of Ross Stripling. It could have happened had Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins beat the Seattle Mariners to the punch at baseball's trade deadline this summer. It…

The Chicago White Sox' 2022 season concluded with an abysmal 10-1 loss to the Minnesota Twins. It was a fitting ending in a few ways. First and foremost, the South Siders were abysmal all season.
