Prescott won’t feel disrespected by trash talk at Cowboys camp. The star QB says he often starts it

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:52:50 GMT

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — Dak Prescott was asked his favorite moment so far of his eighth training camp with the Dallas Cowboys and referred back to the topic from the first several minutes of his meeting with reporters Thursday.“Probably the trash talking,” Prescott said. “Just being honest with you. I enjoy it. I really do. It gets the best of me. You got to be accountable from your words. I like to see other peoples’ reaction.”The issue came up a day earlier in practice when cornerback Trevon Diggs was caught on video delivering an expletive-laced message to his quarterback after Prescott ran toward a pylon in 11-on-11 drills. The question, of course, was whether Prescott would have scored on the play.Diggs, who last week signed a $97 million, five-year extension, was criticized by pundits for disrespecting his team leader. The reaction from the player tied for the NFL lead in interceptions through his first three seasons?“Stay out of our business,” said Diggs, who led the league wit...

After the game against the Padres, Rizzo was batting .304 with 11 homers in 204 at-bats.Boone said Rizzo recently told the Yankees’ training staff that he was feeling foggy.

Jack Flaherty dominates in debut, Orioles record 15 hits in 6-1 series-clinching win over Blue Jays

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:52:50 GMT

Jack Flaherty, in Jordan Hicks’ estimation, is at his best in situations such as Thursday’s sixth inning.Flaherty cruised for much of his Orioles debut, starting against the Toronto Blue Jays two days after Baltimore acquired him from the St. Louis Cardinals for three prospects minutes before the MLB trade deadline. But the sixth inning saw his dazzling debut in peril, with Toronto plating a run and threatening for more with the bases loaded and one out.Manager Brandon Hyde showed trust in his newest starter and Flaherty rewarded it, retiring the next two Blue Jays to propel the Orioles to a 6-1 series-clinching victory.“They definitely got one of the most fierce competitors I’ve met,” said Hicks, a Toronto reliever who St. Louis also traded away this week. “He’s always gonna go out there every time and leave it all out there.”Flaherty allowed one run over six innings while striking out eight, becoming only the third Orioles pitcher to...

Red Sox notebook: Verlander, Turner would’ve been bombshell trades in opposite directions

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:52:50 GMT

The Red Sox were virtually silent at Tuesday’s MLB trade deadline, with Chaim Bloom saying after the 6 p.m. cutoff that the organization wasn’t going to make moves simply to say they did.But according to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal, Boston considered making not one, but two big splashes, each of which involved a player named Justin.Rosenthal reports that the Miami Marlins “felt they were close to acquiring (Justin) Turner,” whom they’d also targeted during the offseason. The discussions between the two sides were “extensive,” but the Red Sox ultimately backed out, keeping the infielder.Turner is hitting .286 with a .837 OPS, 112 hits, 25 doubles, and 17 home runs in 102 games. He’s not only been one of Boston’s best hitters, but one of the most productive and clutch in the league this season, especially of late. He entered Thursday with the sixth-most RBI in the American League, tied for 11th in hits, and tied for 12th in doubles. His 24 doubles over the last 30 days leads the A...
