Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 00:30:48 GMT

PHILADELPHIA — The Giants were involved in trade talks for Paul DeJong before he was dealt elsewhere at the trade deadline, and they were among the first teams DeJong heard from after he was released by the Blue Jays this week.It should come as no surprise.In a new reality for a club that hasn’t had to think about shortstop much over the past 13 years, they have gotten among the least production from the position of any team this season.So, with Brandon Crawford sidelined for a third time, DeJong arrived at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday and was immediately penciled into the starting lineup, just as Johan Camargo — who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move — was shortly after signing as a minor-league free agent.“We just need a little stability there,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “I think he has the capability and the talent to provide that.”As a position group, they rank last in MLB in OPS (.559), wRC+ (54, 44% below league average) and ...

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Sifan Hassan and Faith Kipyegon were in the same heat for the first round of the 5,000 meters. With the top eight moving on, this should’ve been an easy stroll for these two rivals and good friends.It was, too, except for the competitiveness kicking in down the stretch.They treated the race like a final, refusing to give any ground to the other at world championships on Wednesday night. It was decided only by Hassan dipping her head like a sprinter at the finish line to beat the Kenyan standout by .02 seconds.If this was a preview, the main event should be quite a show Saturday.“She just wanted to win,” the Dutch runner said of Kipyegon. “I’m like, ‘OK, if it’s important for you, it’s important for me, too.’”The night before, Hassan’s race plan — like it typically does — involved hovering near the back in the 1,500-meter final. But her late surge couldn’t catch Kipyegon, who pulled away to defend her title. Hassan settled for bronze.This time, Ha...
