Tigers sign veteran Justin Verlander to 1-year, $13M contract

0


Three-time Cy Young Award winner Justin Verlander is returning to the team with which he started his career, signing a one-year, $13 million contract with the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday.

Verlander, who turns 43 on Feb. 20, spent his first 13 seasons with the Tigers.

He is considered perhaps the best pitcher of his generation, with the most innings pitched, strikeouts and wins among active players.

Verlander’s 266 victories are tied with Bob Feller and Eppa Rixey for 34th on baseball’s career list, while his 3,553 career strikeouts are eighth and closely trailing Don Sutton with 3,574.

He now joins a Tigers rotation that boasts two-time defending American League Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, free agent acquisition Framber Valdez, who was a teammate of Verlander’s with the Houston Astros during the 2017-18 seasons, and Jack Flaherty.

The nine-time All-Star said he wanted to return for a 21st major league season after experiencing a wild swing of highs and lows with the San Francisco Giants in 2025.

The right-hander signed a $15 million, one-year contract in January, went a team-record 16 starts before registering a win and then wrapped it up with career start No. 555, which ranks 27th all-time.

Verlander was 0-8 through his first 16 starts, but he gave up only nine earned runs over 41⅓ innings (1.96 ERA) in his last seven. Overall, he went 4-11 with a 3.85 ERA with 137 strikeouts in 152 innings pitched.

After a dominant 13-year stretch with the Tigers, Verlander found a second life after joining the Astros in 2017. He won Cy Young Awards in 2019 and 2022 — and after the latter signed a two-year, $86.6 million contract with the New York Mets. Verlander spent 16 starts with the Mets before being traded back to the Astros in August 2023.

Over his career, Verlander is 266-158 with a 3.32 ERA over 3,567⅔ innings. He has struck out 3,553 batters, walked 1,004 and won a pair of World Series with the Astros.

The Tigers’ pitchers and catchers are scheduled to have their first spring training workout Wednesday.

Trump’s new ‘Buy American’ requirement for EV charging would dramatically curtail build-out

0


It seems clear at this point to say that Donald Trump does not want to spend a single dime on EV charging. He tried to freeze $5 billion in funding for the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, which was approved as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. And when a federal judge ordered the government to unfreeze the funds, his administration came up with a new tactic to stall the plan.

EV chargers must now be built in the US, with components that also originate in the US, in order to receive federal funding, the US Department of Transportation said today. Under the proposal, EV chargers would need to boost their US-made parts from 55 percent to 100 percent in order to be eligible for NEVI funding. But industry and environmental groups say the new requirements would essentially stop EV charging build-out in its tracks.

“This proposal does not meet industry where it is today and may discourage further investment in the production of U.S.-made EV chargers,” Albert Gore, executive director of the Zero Emissions Transportation Association, said in a statement. “Ultimately, this will hinder the job growth that Buy America is intended to create.”

The reason, of course, is that most of the supply chain for EV charging equipment runs through China. Thanks to heavy government subsidies and years of investment, Chinese companies have largely supplied most of the EV charging stations that are installed in the US, Europe, and elsewhere.

The reason, of course, is that most of the supply chain for EV charging equipment runs through China.

And while US manufacturers are getting up to speed thanks to NEVI, there isn’t a single EV charging station online today that can say 100 percent of its materials and components originate in the US. According to Ingrid Malmgren, policy director at Plug In America, most of the enclosure, cables, and final assembly of chargers are currently built in the US, while the power modules and advanced electronics are sourced globally.

So, in a sense, this USDOT proposal is another de facto moratorium on EV charging build-out — at a time when a fast, reliable charging infrastructure is seen as crucial to keeping EV sales in the US afloat.

“This is yet another bad-faith attempt to kill NEVI and block the buildout of essential infrastructure Congress funded for all Americans,” said Katherine Garcia, director of the Sierra Club’s Transportation for All. “It would stall EV charging deployment, push the United States further behind, and deny communities access to clean, affordable transportation options.”

EV advocates say they support incremental increases in US-made charging equipment as a stipulation to receive federal funding, but that requiring 100 percent compliance right now is impossible. Malmgren called it “out of touch with U.S. manufacturing capacity.”

But halting the program is likely the real goal of Trump’s administration. For the past year, Trump has enacted policies to allow companies to pollute more, while restricting efforts to promote cleaner fuel alternatives, including EVs. If he was honest about wanting more EV charging manufacturing in the US, there would be a more realistic timeline to incentivize companies to build here. But as it stands, the proposal would essentially re-freeze the NEVI program right as it was getting moving again.

States were just starting to receive their promised NEVI funds when this proposal was announced. Georgia, for example, was counting on $134 million to build dozens of new charging stalls.

Skier Bella Wright Stumble at Lindsey Vonn Gate Crash

0


The next day, the 41-year-old—who was competing with a torn ACL following an injury the week prior—confirmed on Instagram that she sustained a “complex tibia fracture” but emphasized that the cause of her crash had nothing to do with her physical health.

“I was simply 5 inches too tight on my line when my right arm hooked inside of the gate, twisting me and resulted in my crash,” Lindsey explained. “My ACL and past injuries had nothing to do with my crash whatsoever.” 

Though her leg was “currently stable,” she noted that it would “require multiple surgeries to fix properly.” And despite the fact Lindsey’s Olympic dream “did not finish the way I dreamt it would,” the athlete said she’s glad that she “dared to dream.”

“While yesterday did not end the way I had hoped, and despite the intense physical pain it caused, I have no regrets,” she wrote. “Standing in the starting gate yesterday was an incredible feeling that I will never forget. Knowing I stood there having a chance to win was a victory in and of itself.”

Transfer rumors, news: Madrid, Chelsea, Liverpool eye Junior Kroupi

Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi is attracting attention from some of Europe’s elite clubs, while Manchester City angle for a move for England international Elliot Anderson.

Join us for the latest transfer news and rumors from around the globe.

TRENDING RUMORS

Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Chelsea are among the clubs tracking Bournemouth forward Junior Kroupi, according to The Sun. It is reported that Bournemouth are braced for offers for the 19-year-old in the summer, and that a deal of around £80 million could see Kroupi move on. He arrived at the Vitality Stadium from Lorient last year and has scored eight goals in 20 Premier League games so far this season.

Manchester City are preparing a bid for Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson, according to TeamTalk. They reportedly see the 23-year-old as a long-term addition, but whether they make a move hinges on if manager Pep Guardiola remains at the Etihad Stadium. Any deal is expected to require an offer worth between £80 million and £100 million, while Manchester United are also continuing to keep close tabs on his situation.

Paris Saint-Germain have joined the race for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba. TeamTalk reports that PSG have been “active” as they explore a move for the 22-year-old, who has long been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea. Previous reports have indicated that an offer worth between £50 million and £75 million could be enough to sign him.

Manchester United and Chelsea are also interested in Tromso midfielder Abubacarr Kinteh, per the Daily Mail. It is said that scouts from around Europe have been tracking the 19-year-old this season, with both Premier League clubs now lining up a move for him in the summer. The report adds that both Basel and Young Boys have been alerted to growing interest in his signature, and with the transfer window in Switzerland not set to close until Feb. 16, they could try and get the deal over the line before suitors from Europe’s top leagues emerge.

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus is on the radar of AC Milan, reports Tuttosport. The Rossoneri remain keen on reinforcing their forward line in the summer amid belief that Mexico international Santiago Gimenez will be moved on after the FIFA World Cup, and Jesus is one of the top names on their shortlist. The 28-year-old has made just two Premier League starts this season amid a difficult competition for places with both Viktor Gyökeres and Kai Havertz. Fiorentina‘s Moise Kean, 25, is seen as a potential alternative.

MrBeast just bought a banking app

0


Beast Industries, owned by YouTuber Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson, announced on Monday that it has acquired Step, a banking app designed for teens and young adults. The move comes a couple of months after Donaldson announced plans to start a new YouTube channel centered on personal finance and investing. His main channel has 466 million subscribers and has long been one of the most popular on YouTube, frequently featuring videos where Donaldson gives away huge sums of money.

MrBeast’s other business ventures also include a chain of ghost restaurants, the Feastables snack brand, and an upcoming phone service company called Beast Mobile. This is his company’s first dip into financial services.

Step is one of many mobile-only banking services, similar to Monzo or Revolut, but specifically aimed at teens, which may explain why Donaldson chose it over its rivals — his audience is mainly Gen-Z and Gen Alpha. Step’s investors also include Gen-Z influencers Josh Richards and Charli D’Amelio, the latter of whom has appeared on MrBeast’s YouTube channel.

Super Bowl 2026 commercials: Athletes include Serena, more

0


Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks boasts star power on the field, in the stands — and in the commercials.

While some fans come for the gridiron action, others tune in to the NFL’s marquee game of the season for the ads. There’s often a hefty price attached to Super Bowl commercials, and this year is no different. According to CNBC, 30-second slots averaged $8 million and some sold for more than $10 million. However, the right ad can be priceless.

Athletes will be scattered throughout the commercials during Super Bowl LX. Peyton Manning returns for Bud Light, a plethora of the NFL’s greatest tight ends team up and Derrick Henry shows off his arm talent.

Here’s a look at the top commercials during Super Bowl LX that feature athletes.

Star-studded cast models glasses of the future

Athletes are no strangers to Oakley sunglasses — Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes even has his own collection. Therefore, it’s only right that Oakley tapped multiple athletes to highlight its new “Oakley Meta Performance AI glasses.”

Former Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch gets it started by skydiving before skater Sky Brown, cyclist Kate Courtney and golfer Akshay Bhatia join in, participating in their respective sports. Internet personality iShowSpeed and filmmaker Spike Lee are also part of the ad, which showcases the various functions of Oakley’s glasses.


A lesson on the links

In the spirit of the Winter Olympics, Michelob Ultra decided to bring out the skis with instructions from actor Kurt Russell. The commercial begins with actor Lewis Pullman losing in a race, meaning he’ll have to buy a round of Michelob Ultra.

Russell notices Pullman’s defeat and decides to train him. Pullman wins the next race, pulling off a backflip on skis, receiving approval from Olympic snowboarding gold medalist Chloe Kim and Stanley Cup winner T.J. Oshie.


Peyton returns for Bud Light

The two-time Super Bowl champion had a prime spot with Bud Light for a 2025 commercial with comedian Shane Gillis and musician Post Malone. Manning, Gillis and Malone are back this year in an ad simply titled: “Keg.”

While at a wedding, Manning holds a glass of Bud Light he describes as “first beer of the wedding.” Malone asks: “Is there enough for everyone?” before Manning points to a keg being rolled into the ceremony. However, the keg falls down a hill, sparking members of the wedding — bride and groom included — rolling down to grab it.


Tight ends unite for an important cause

Medicine company Novartis tapped a group of current and former NFL tight ends to spread awareness about prostate cancer screening. From Jake Olson and Tony Gonzalez to George Kittle and Rob Gronkowski, the men are shown in relaxing states while calming music plays in the background.

Halfway through the commercial, Super Bowl-winning head coach Bruce Arians shares why the tight ends are so relaxed — they’ve learned that a simple blood test can detect prostate cancer, easing challenges of detecting it. Arians asks Gronkowski to show what the coach taught him. And Gronk, as you probably guessed, relaxes his tight end to get the point across.


Henry shows off arm during trolley tour

Trolley tours are a key part of the San Francisco experience. Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry and actress Kathryn Hahn hopped on a trolley themselves, but when it struggled to get up a hill, Hahn hopped out to push it back up.

She handed her Oikos to Henry, then proceeded to get the trolley rolling back up and away from her. However, her Oikos remained with Henry, who delivered it to her with a throw reminiscent of those of his quarterback, Lamar Jackson.


Serena shares fitness journey

Tennis icon Serena Williams is back with a Super Bowl ad that highlights her health changes — including losing 34 pounds — while on Ro’s GLP-1.
