PITTSBURGH — Bubba Chandler had one of his best starts and the Pirates' offense broke out in a 9-0 win over the Mets at PNC Park on Saturday night to snap a four-game skid.
Bottom 1st, 3-0 PIT: The Pirates (58-61) struck for three early runs against Robert Stock (0-2). With the bases loaded and one out, Nick Gonzales plated Jake Mangum on a groundout to the right of the pitcher's mound. Ronny Simon followed by keeping a ball fair inside the third base bag for a two-run double.
Bottom 3rd, 4-0 PIT: Simon bunted for a hit, stole second and raced home to score on Jacob Gonzalez's single to right field.
Bottom 4th, 8-0 PIT: The first six men up to plate all reached safely and the Pirates struck for four more runs. Mangum doubled home Henry Davis and scored on a wild pitch with the bases loaded. Later on, Gonzales plated a pair with a double to right.
Bottom 7th, 9-0 PIT: Brandon Lowe hit a solo home run off Mets catcher Luis Torrens, who was called upon in the seventh. The blast was Lowe's team-high 25th this season.

World Cup star Ferran Torres has requested to play for Paris Saint-Germain, according to multiple reports.
The 26-year-old forward has informed his current club, FC Barcelona, that he has agreed to personal terms with PSG, ESPN reported on Saturday, Aug. 8. Spanish publication Marca said that the two clubs have been negotiating for "several days."
USA TODAY Sports has reached out to a La Liga contact and has not heard back at the time of publication.
Torres scored the winning goal for Spain in this summer's World Cup, defeating defending champion Argentina and Lionel Messi 1-0. Torres could be following in the footsteps of the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner by going from Barcelona to the French club.
Paris Saint-Germain has won the Champions League two years in a row after Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé left for other clubs.

Pablo Torre dropped his latest bombshell on Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers and this one may be a gamechanger.
After initially reporting that Leonard had a sponsorship deal with Aspiration that appeared to circumvent the NBA salary cap, Torre found a similar agreement with tech company Daktronics, the manufacturer of the Intuit Dome scoreboard.
The second questionable deal is increasing the avalanche of pressure on the Clippers, owner Steve Ballmer, and the entire league over what happens next. And on Friday's episode of First Take, Stephen A. Smith gave his verdict. He suggested that both Ballmer and Leonard should be banned for a year.
"This is egregious if it's true. If it's true, we're talking about banishment for Steve Ballmer as far as I'm concerned for at least a year. It should be entertained that Kawhi Leonard should be banned for a year. He just took the money, but **** that," Smith said. "The deal with Aspiration, that's a green banking company that's at the center of the NBA investigation going on now. To learn that you might have had another sponsorship deal worth millions of dollars with Daktronics? So you had not one but a couple of companies funneling money to you? To circumvent the salary cap with you getting this money but you also getting these additional dollars on the side illegally, because according to NBA bylaws, you ain't supposed to be doing this? Nah, you can't go for that."
Stephen A. Smith had Pablo Torre on his podcast and echoed the sentiment that the hammer should come down on both Kawhi Leonard and the Cippers. Not only did he again suggest a one-year suspension for Leonard and Ballmer, but taking draft picks away from the Cilppers and voiding Leonard's contract altogether.

The exit operation at La Liga champions Barcelona is beginning to heat up this weekend. This comes as four members of Hansi Flick's first-team squad inch towards imminent departures.
The more high-profile pair, as widely reported in the media over the last 24 hours, come in the form of Ronald Araújo, and Ferran Torres.
The latter is all set to link up with Premier League giants Liverpool on loan for the season ahead, whilst frontman Ferran has made the call to take his talents to European champions Paris Saint-Germain on a permanent basis.
As alluded to above, though, the exits from Catalunya's capital will not end there…
As revealed by Barcelona insider Gerard Romero, both Roony Bardghji and Marc Casadó have been left out of the Blaugrana's travelling squad for a pre-season mini tournament featuring Nottingham Forest and Udinese on Saturday.

Buffalo Bills 2026 NFL training camp is underway and will be watched under a microscope each and every day. Especially with the hiring of Joe Brady as the team's new head coach.
Throughout practices each day, updates are shared during the workouts which make for intriguing and important notes.
In terms of Day 7 of training camp, what stood out the most?
Here are Bills Wire's three observations from the seventh day of training camp:
The Bills saw the offseason start by losing offensive lineman David Edwards. While their full O-line is not returning in 2026, another piece of it was locked in for the foreseeable future. The team agreed to terms on a four-year, $78.4 million deal with offensive lineman O'Cyrus Torrence.

According to Gerard Romero of Jijantes, FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres has personally called head coach Hansi Flick to inform him of his desire to leave the club and complete a permanent transfer to Paris Saint-Germain.
The 26-year-old Spain international has made his definitive choice to move to the French capital, prompting Barça and PSG to enter direct, active negotiations to finalise the transfer fee.
The transfer has moved rapidly over the last 24 hours after Torres fully agreed to personal contract terms with the Ligue 1 champions.
Indeed, as previously reported and now confirmed by multiple reliable sources, the forward has accepted a proposed four-year contract that will tie him to the Parc des Princes until June 2030.

According to Luis F Rojo of MARCA, FC Barcelona forward Ferran Torres is on the verge of joining Paris Saint-Germain, with only a dramatic late twist expected to prevent the move.
Barcelona and PSG have been negotiating for several days, with discussions taking place discreetly between sporting directors Deco and Luis Campos, whose close relationship has helped facilitate the talks.
While much of the attention has focused on the situations involving Julian Alvarez, Rodri and Ronald Araujo, Ferran's departure has quietly moved closer to completion.
Officially, Barcelona are scheduled to meet with the player on Wednesday, when he is due to report back for pre-season alongside Spain's World Cup-winning internationals.
However, that meeting is now expected to be unnecessary, as Ferran's representatives have already informed Barcelona that the player wants to move to Paris.

Pablo Torre reported on yet another potential salary cap circumvention move by Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers. Stephen A. Smith thinks that if it's real, the NBA should be ruthless.
Kawhi Leonard was supposed to be back with the Toronto Raptors by now. The only thing that's stopped him is the ongoing NBA investigation into his time with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Pablo Torre reported in 2025 that Leonard and the franchise had tried to circumvent the league's salary cap. The claim is that they did so by getting him bogus sponsorship money through Aspiration.
Torre added to that this week, with a report suggesting that this same thing had also happened with another team sponsor, Daktronics. It's no surprise that the NBA world is starting to lose its patience.

This week is going to be a crucial one for Ferran Torres, as far as his future is concerned.
The striker has been closely linked with a move to PSG this week, with his current Barcelona contract coming to an end next summer.
Ferran's stock has risen since his heroics at the FIFA World Cup and it appears PSG are now ready to snap him up.
As per recent reports, Ferran has already agreed to a move to Parc des Princes.

Kawhi Leonard's luck may help him after the conclusion of the NBA's ongoing investigation of LA Clippers circumventing the salary cap.
Investigative journalist Pablo Torre's bombshell reports about Kawhi Leonard and Steve Ballmer's LA Clippers circumventing the salary cap has been a major topic of discussion heading into the season.
After all, if Leonard is found guilty, his trade to the Toronto Raptors could be voided. But that's only the case if the league's investigation reaches a conclusion before 2027.
Right now, the investigation is in its arbitration stage, and this is something that works in favor of the 2x NBA champion.

The Mets racked up 18 hits on their way to their third win and series sweep against the Guardians, 13-6. Nolan McLean was good for most of his outing, and when he needed to come out after the fifth inning, the bullpen smothered the Guardians' hitters, allowing two hits and one run.
The first inning was deceptively quiet for the Mets. With two outs, Luis Robert, Jr. sneaked a ground ball into left field for a single, but Carson Benge struck out immediately after that. When McLean took the mound for the bottom of the inning he issued two walks back-to-back, and then allowed a line-drive single to Nathaniel Lowe to load the bases. After this, Angel Martínez managed an RBI single on a grounder to center field that scored Chase DeLauter and José Ramírez. After getting the second out, McLean gave up another single, this one on a fly ball smacked into left field by Petey Halpin. Fortunately, McLean got Patrick Bailey to fly out right after that, and the inning ended with the Guardians leading 2-0.
In the second inning, Marcus Semien responded by bouncing a home run off the top of the fence, slightly confusing the announcers. Next up, Eric Wagaman lined a single into center field, setting up Luis Torrens to drive a two-run home run into right field, stunning new Guardians pitcher Foster Griffin and giving the Mets the lead. McLean continued to struggle slightly with walks, allowing one to Travis Bazzana. Bazzana stole second base after Torrens' throw to second was a bit too high, but he was stranded there when Wagaman dove to stop a ground ball from Ramírez and got it to McLean in time for the third out. The score remained Mets 3, Guardians 2 at the end of the inning.
Bo Bichette walked to lead off the third inning but was caught in a fielder's choice out when Robert grounded to third softly. With Robert on first, Carson Benge smacked an RBI triple off the wall above Halpin's head, scoring Robert. Francisco Alvarez walked as well, and Semien scored Benge on a sac fly into left field for the second out. Wagaman struck out for the third out, but after Nolan McLean retired the batters in order at the bottom of the inning, the score was Mets 5, Guardians 2.
With two outs in the fourth inning, Lindor drove a single into left field, and Bichette doubled on another line drive, sending Lindor to third base. However, Robert flied out to right field to end the half-inning and strand the pair in scoring position. McLean once again worked a 1-2-3 inning. Matt Festa replaced Foster Griffin in the top of the fifth inning and gave up another walk to Alvarez with one out. Semien then rolled a double down the left field line, and Alvarez slid into to third. Jared Young pinch-hit for Wagaman and threaded an RBI single through the infielders into left field, scoring Alvarez. Young then stole second base completely uncontested. However, the next two outs came back-to-back to strand the runners in scoring position again.

Things turned awfully testy during the late innings of Wednesday night's 4-2 Mariners victory over the Detroit Tigers, which evened the pivotal series for both teams in an American League playoff race that is heating up more and more with every passing day. A half-inning after Cal Raleigh was drilled in the ribs with 95 mph four-seam fastball by Enmanuel De Jesus — and no warnings were issued — Gabe Speier pegged Gleyber Torres with a 96 mph four-seamer of his own, leading to an exchanging of words and the benches clearing. Speier and Dan Wilson both ended up ejected. As Kate said in the recap, we'll see if this has any ramifications Thursday.
Speaking of throwing at people, Framber Valdez gets the start for the Tigers on Thursday. His first season in Detroit hasn't gone quite to plan, with many of his numbers across the board taking a step back. His FIP has ballooned to 4.13 in 2026, having not exceeded 3.50 over his previous four seasons in Houston.
The Mariners will look to Bryce Miller to try to secure an important series win before the American League-leading Tampa Bay Rays come to town for 50 Seasons weekend. Big Tex had a much shakier month of July (4.93 FIP) after beginning his 2026 campaign with solid performance in May (2.86) and June (3.22). For more on the pitching matchup, check out the series preview.
Taylor Ward is in the leadoff spot for his first time as a Mariner. Brendan Donovan and Josh Naylor both get scheduled days off, and Raleigh gets a rest day (unrelated to the hit-by-pitch last night). Jhonny Pereda will be behind the plate for the first time since being recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, while Weston Wilson and Leo Rivas make starts at first and third base.
In the aftermath of Wednesday's bench-clearing incident, both Speier and Dan Wilson have been suspended by Major League Baseball. Speier's discipline amounts to three games, which he is appealing. Dan Wilson, on the other hand, will serve his one-game suspension on Thursday afternoon. Manny Acta will be the Mariners' acting manager for this important rubber game.

#speier

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners reliever Gabe Speier was given a three-game suspension Thursday after hitting Detroit's Gleyber Torres with a pitch in the eighth inning of Wednesday night's game.
Speier is appealing the ban, according to the MLB Players **** ociation.
Additionally, Mariners manager Dan Wilson was also suspended one-game and will serve his suspension in the series finale Thursday against the Tigers. Managers cannot appeal a suspension. Manny Acta will serve as the manager for the Mariners.
Speier had relieved Bryan Woo in the eighth inning of Seattle's 4-2 win. After getting the first two outs, Speier threw two inside fastballs to Torres, with the latter pegging him on the upper left leg on a 96.3 mph pitch.
Torres and Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh proceeded to have words with each other before the benches and bullpens cleared. There were no punches thrown, and Wilson was ejected in the aftermath after Speier was tossed from the game. It was the second time this season Wilson was removed from a game.

FC Barcelona striker Ferran Torres has agreed to join European rival Paris Saint-Germain according to SPORT, which cited anonymous sources.
FC Barcelona striker Ferran Torres has agreed to join European rival Paris Saint-Germain according to SPORT, which cited anonymous sources.
Those sources, close to the negotiations, say that Ferran has already given PSG permission to "activate all its machinery" and begin talks with Barça, which has been angered by the striker's decision to discuss his future in public.
Ferran is currently in the last 11 months of his contract which expires on June 30, 2027. The Catalans would like to extend his terms but can't do that until September owing to Financial Fair Play issues.
Furthermore, Ferran's pay demands have to fall in line with his standing in Hansi Flick's squad. He's seen as no more as a secondary member of it, just as he was when Robert Lewandowski was still around ahead of leaving for the Chicago Fire once his own terms expired.

#Paris #saint

The moment of truth has arrived, with all parties involved in Ferran Torres' future waiting for the decisive moves to be made.
The Barcelona forward has not shied away from the speculation during the many interviews he has given over the past few days, openly admitting that he is willing to consider a move this summer if the right sporting and financial project presents itself.
Now, according to SPORT, Ferran has given PSG the green light to begin formal discussions, reopen the various lines of communication that have remained active with Barcelona in recent months, and move forward with a transfer between the two clubs.
The contacts between Ferran Torres and Paris Saint-Germain have been far more than a simple summer enquiry.
Luis Enrique personally became involved, making it clear to the Spanish international that the doors of the reigning European champions were open to him.

Barcelona have a number of talented La Masia starlets ready to break into the first team who are unlikely to get a chance due to the immense competition for places.
One such youngster who has been part of Hansi Flick's plans for two consecutive pre-seasons is Jofre Torrents.
The 19-year-old defender is competing with Alejandro Balde and Gerard Martin for a first-team spot and is unlikely to get much game time.
Barça are also pushing to sign Cancelo from Al Hilal, with the veteran Portuguese defender keen on securing a return to the club.
Thus, Torrents is unlikely to get much game time if he stays at Barça, and it was revealed that the club were finalising a loan deal with Ajax for the teenager.

It is clear that Barcelona's pursuit of Julian Alvarez is not going anywhere. Atletico Madrid remain stubborn as ever and do not want to sell their star player to a direct rival.
With Alvarez set to rejoin the Atleti training camp on August 10, time is running out. And this has prompted Barcelona to start thinking about alternatives.
Unfortunately, the club do not have too many options in the market, which is why Flick is strongly looking internally.

As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Lewandowski's departure and the uncertainty over Ferran Torres' future have prompted Flick to spend pre-season working on alternatives for the number nine role.

Ferran Torres will return to Barcelona later this month having cemented his name in the country's football folklore following his extra-time winner to seal Spain's second World Cup triumph.
His profile and marketability has significantly grown and those around him will be keen to ensure he makes the most of a career-defining moment.
But a summer dominated by World Cup celebrations has given way to transfer speculation, fuelled by the forward's own comments during a media tour in the United States.
The 26-year-old is under contract with Barcelona until June 2027 meaning, if he does not reach an agreement with the Catalan giants, Torres will be able to negotiate with another club as a free agent from January.
So, as Barcelona's players gradually report back for pre-season, does Spain's World Cup hero's future remain at the Nou Camp?

SEATTLE – It's apparently never boring when the Detroit Tigers are in town. It got interesting again late Wednesday, Aug. 5, at T-Mobile Park when Gleyber Torres got hit, and the benches cleared, and a pitcher and manager got ejected.
The bit of spice didn't last, though, nor did the Tigers' late comeback effort as their offense finally stalled, and so their four-game winning streak came to an end with a 4-2 loss.
Torres wasn't the only one hit by a pitch. Three other Tigers were, too – Max Clark, Riley Greene, Zack McKinstry. Torres was hit in the eighth. He had a few words with catcher Cal Raleigh, who had been plunked in the inning before.
THE KID: Max Clark defense catching up to his big bat for Detroit Tigers
The benches cleared and the managers met at the plate and eventually left-handed reliever Gabe Speier was ejected for plunking Torres, presumably in retaliation for Raleigh getting hit by Enmanuel DeJesus. Dan Wilson, Seattle's manager, was also ejected.

Oprah Winfrey once turned Diana Ross' storm-soaked Central Park concert into an unusually specific measure of success, owning diamond earrings as impressive as the pair flashing beneath the stage lights.
Winfrey, 72, revisited Ross' legendary 1983 performance for Glamour's "Girlhood Firsts" series after being asked about the first time she felt represented in the media.
She remembered Ross continuing to sing through torrential rain while her diamond earrings glittered and her mascara remained intact. Winfrey was so fascinated that she called Ross' production company the following day to ask what the singer had been wearing.
The answer sent Winfrey in pursuit of 10 carats of diamonds. She later discovered that Ross' earrings had actually been five carats, prompting the billionaire media mogul to joke that she "could've quit halfway through."
Winfrey described Ross as both her "inspiration and aspiration" while recalling the free concert on Central Park's Great Lawn. "Because if you all remember, there she is.

Deco just can't seem to quit Julián Álvarez.
Barcelona's sporting director has made the pilgrimage to Madrid to meet with the player's agent. Afterall, without Álvarez making noise, there's little chance of a deal getting done.
On paper, Álvarez looks like a very good fit for Barcelona, and the system that Hansi Flick has built. He presses like a machine, is built for possession based football after years spent with Pep Guardiola, and is a lethal finisher who can put the ball in the net in a multitude of ways.
Álvarez signed for Atletico Madrid two summers ago, at the same time when Flick arrived in Barcelona. It's well known that the Barca boss has never been properly backed by those above him, but can you imagine if he had a center forward like Álvarez to work with from the beginning?
Alas, here we are two years later. Flick has already delivered two La Liga trophies with an aging Robert Lewandowski and an inconsistent Ferran Torres. One is now in Chicago, while the other could be off to Paris in no time.

CLEVELAND — When the Mets offense is clicking, they have dominated this season.
With Monday night's 6-2 victory, they are now 33-5 this season when they have scored five or more runs. The only problem is that their 38 games with that many runs are the fewest in the National League.
The Mets will be hoping to continue to find that level of production in the second game of the series at 6:40 p.m. on Wednesday night at Progressive Field.
In Monday's win, Luis Torrens homered and drove in four runs. Carson Benge tagged a 451-foot home run - the longest blast at Progressive Field since Aaron Judge on April 14, 2024. Bo Bichette added his first home run since June 24.
The Mets will be hoping that is a sign of a changing tide following the MLB trade deadline when they dealt eight major league players, including seven pitchers.

Three members of the first-team ranks at La Liga champions Barcelona could find themselves donning the colours of Ajax for the duration of the 2026/27 campaign.
This comes amid the understanding that the Dutch outfit have earmarked yet another Blaugrana star as a potential summer signing.
Barca and Ajax are of course fresh off doing business on the transfer front, in a deal which took Marc-André ter Stegen from the former to the latter on a year-long loan.
Reports then swiftly followed that the parties are also in advanced negotiations over the terms of an agreement for young defender Jofre Torrents.
And if the latest word stemming from Spain is anything to go by, then Ajax's shopping spree in Catalunya's capital may not be finished there, either…

CLEVELAND — The new-look Mets made a strong first impression in their first game after the trade deadline on Tuesday night.
Luis Torrens drove in four runs, Sean Manaea notched a quality start and Nate Lavender and Kodai Senga excelled in new bullpen roles.

It would be the Mets' second series win in their last three. They enter the day with a 48-66 record.
Christian Scott will be on the mound for the Mets on the heels of a hard-luck loss to the Braves last time around.

FC Barcelona expects an offer to come in from Paris Saint-Germain for Ferran Torres this week according to SPORT. At Mundo Deportivo, Fernando Polo reports that the club believes the striker is using the interest from the Champions League holders to earn a bigger contract.
Ferran has angered Barça by using American media appearances to speak about his situation.
"Right now I have a contract with Barcelona," Torres said on the Today show. "But, honestly, in football you never know what can happen."
"I'm waiting to make the right decision. I still don't know. Yes, I have a dream club. I just want to be happy," he further added.

The sports press this August 5 is reaching fever pitch, with the transfer market at the center of attention. From the Blaugrana board's lightning-fast negotiations in the capital to transfer records in Chamartín and the urgency on the benches in Valencia and Seville, the front pages of the country's leading newspapers review a decisive day for shaping the season.
FC Barcelona dominates the Catalan front pages. Both Sport ("Summit for Julián Álvarez") and Mundo Deportivo ("Barça stand firm") report on Deco's whirlwind trip to Madrid to meet with the Argentine forward's agent and speed up his signing.
Likewise, Mundo Deportivo reveals a full agreement between Real Madrid and Rodri for 75 million euros, while also detailing the Blaugrana club's stance on Ferran Torres, whom they will try to renew on reduced terms.
In Madrid, the white club's academy takes center stage. Diario AS leads with "The academy is a goldmine", celebrating the 189 million euros brought in by Real Madrid thanks to the departures of young talents such as Palacios and Gonzalo, making it the most profitable summer in the club's history.
Meanwhile, Marca focuses on Franco Mastantuono leaving for Fiorentina, Aston Villa's interest in Ruggeri, and the forceful remarks by Rayo Vallecano president Raúl Martín Presa about the future of Vallecas.

Spain's FIFA World Cup winner Ferran Torres has insisted he had no political intentions when he was photographed wearing a 'MAGA'-style hat during Spain's victory celebrations in front of the president.
Torres netted the only goal of the game in the World Cup Final as Spain defeated Lionel Messi's Argentina to claim their second ****** le in the sport's most prestigious tournament.
While several players were spotted performing the 'Trump dance' as the President took to the podium to celebrate alongside the squad, the Spanish team appeared to keep the jokes rolling as Torres sported the red hat upon their return to Spain the following day. The Barcelona forward, however, has maintained it had nothing to do with politics, via The Mirror US.
