Astros center fielder Jake Meyers raced to the gap in left-center to make a spectacular, full-extension diving catch of Adell’s drive with a runner on first base and one out in the bottom of the eighth to preserve a 2-2 tie.

NBA free agency 2025: Myles Turner tops long list of starting-caliber center talent
If you need a center, you might be in luck; while there isn’t a max-worthy target out there, several starting-caliber big men hit the market this year, and many of them are gettable for rivals due to their own teams’ tight salary-cap situations. Even beyond that, the market for the tax and room-exception big men looks frothy, making this arguably the most interesting position of the summer in terms of player movement.AdvertisementAs always, I’ve included all free agents and potential free agents due to player options, team options and non-guaranteed contracts, except for the most unlikely cases. For instance, surely Oklahoma City’s Jaylin Williams, Philadelphia’s Adem Bona and Golden State’s Trayce Jackson-Davis need not sweat about their non-guaranteed minimum deals.Here’s how BORD$ (more on the methodology here) sees the centers:(PO = player option; TO = team option; NG = non-guaranteed; […]
Stříbrného Fuksu dělilo 57 tisícin sekundy od evropského titulu. Dostálovi medaile těsně unikla
Pro letos dosud neporaženého Fuksu byl nejvážnějším finálovým soupeřem Rumun Chirila, který byl na metě 500 metrů už o čtyři desetiny sekundy vpředu. Český vodák měl sice skvělý finiš, ale nakonec mezi nimi rozhodoval fotofiniš, jehož výsledek mluvil ve prospěch soupeře.Finálový závod kajakářů hodně zostra rozjel Portugalec Pimenta, v polovině trati měl v čele více než sekundový náskok a nikdo už ho nedostihl. Dostál se dlouho držel na pátém místě a chystal si útok na poslední pětistovku. Vytáhl se na medailovou pozici, o stříbru a bronzu pak rozhodovala až cílová fotografe mezi českým reprezentantem, Maďarem Kopászem a Švédem Nathellem, kterému nakonec připadlo druhé místo rozdílem jediné setiny sekundy. Dostál se musel smířit se čtvrtou příčkou.
