The Phillies announced the deal on Monday. They did not provide the terms of the agreement, but it is reportedly worth $8.5 million. An All-Star in 2022 and 2023, Romano spent the first six seasons of his major league career with the Toronto Blue Jays. He has 105 career saves and a 2.90 ERA in 231 relief appearances. Of the 17 pitchers in the majors with at least 100 save opportunities since 2019, Romano’s 88.98% save percentage ranks second, trailing only Josh Hader (187 for 210, 89.04%). Among all pitchers in baseball since 2019, Romano’s 105 saves rank ninth. The 31-year-old Romano was limited to just eight saves in 15 games last season. He had arthroscopic surgery on his elbow in July. Romano's arrival could lead to the departures of one or both of Carlos Estévez and Jeff Hoffman from Philadelphia. The former All-Star relievers both closed games for the Phillies last season but each suffered epic meltdowns in the postseason. Both pitchers are free agents. AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb

Commanders waive 2023 first-round pick Emmanuel Forbes Jr.If you’ve ever wondered why U.S. presidential elections are held in November, it’s because that was the most convenient time for farmers. Spring, summer and fall were busy seasons for Americans who farmed for a living, so November was the best time to travel to the polls before harsh winter weather disenfranchised people who got around with horses and wagons. This Thanksgiving, we can all be grateful to our nation’s farming Framers for their foresight and vision. Somehow they knew that one day, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., would be appointed by a U.S. president to reform America’s eating habits and everyone would be grateful if he didn’t take office until after the holidays. Kennedy is on a mission to Make America Healthy Again, and of course that’s a great idea, just not right now, when the nation’s grocery stores are halfway between displays of discounted Halloween candy and parking-lot sales of sugar-frosted sugar cookies, with sprinkles. Don’t mess with the holidays. Family memories are often wrapped in the tastes, textures and aromas that emerge from the kitchen. Or the restaurant. Or the take-out counter at the grocery store. Even the White House has its holiday traditions. Recipes from our presidents have occasionally been printed in newspapers. In 1992, the L.A. Times published the recipe for President Reagan’s Favorite White House Eggnog, which calls for 1-1/2 cups of sugar, 1 tablespoon of vanilla, 6 eggs, 3 cups of half-and-half and a cup each of bourbon, brandy and rum. Peace through strength. Here are the directions if you’re planning to try that recipe: blend the sugar, eggs and vanilla, add the half-and-half and blend again, pour the mixture into a serving bowl, stir in the bourbon, brandy and rum, dust with freshly grated nutmeg, post the standard warning about consuming raw eggs and lock up everybody’s car keys until morning. But really, it’s important to Make America Healthy Again. If Americans are suffering from chronic disease as a result of ultraprocessed foods, synthetic food dyes, cheap seed oils and high fructose corn syrup, by all means, let’s do as much as possible to improve the quality of the foods we eat. Just not in the middle of cupcake season. If you’re wondering which foods are considered “ultraprocessed,” this was explained in an April 2023 article in the journal Nature titled, “Machine learning prediction of the degree of food processing.” Citing the NOVA classification system used in epidemiological studies, the authors said “ultra-processed products” are categorized as NOVA 4: “industrial formulations typically of five or more ingredients including substances not commonly used in culinary preparations, such as additives whose purpose is to imitate sensory qualities of fresh food.” Ewwww. I’m sorry to have to tell you that the NOVA 4 category includes hot dogs, hamburgers and carbonated drinks. Also cookies, pizzas and packaged bread. And most of the good breakfast cereals. “Epidemiological studies have documented significant associations between greater consumption of NOVA 4 and disease onset,” the Nature article reports, specifically mentioning obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and depression. Make America Healthy Again could mean eating home-cooked meals made from natural foods that don’t have an ingredient list. For example, the ingredients of apples are apples. That’s a perfect food to eat. In January.

Opinion Columnists | California’s political clout will fade as long as population growth remains slow This time of year, it can be hard to find apples in the grocery store. Sweet potatoes have taken over all the good locations in the produce department, along with giant displays of brown sugar and marshmallows. Sweet potatoes never bake alone. The pharmaceutical industry is standing by with an array of prescription weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, which could be a pot of gold for them if Medicare agrees to cover these drugs for weight management alone. Private insurance companies would likely follow. But Kennedy has raised questions about the relationships between Big Food, Big Pharma and the U.S. government regulatory agencies. He says the agencies are “captured” by the industries they regulate, leading to a terrible cycle of selling Americans health-destroying foods and then approving costly prescription drugs to deal with the increase in chronic disease. He’s probably right. We’re all-in to Make America Healthy Again. Let’s start right after the Super Bowl. Write Susan@SusanShelley.com and follow her on X @Susan_Shelley

Sculptors offer advice LONDON (AP) — One art critic compared the new Harry Kane bronze statue to a bulging-jawed comic strip character. The infamous Cristiano Ronaldo bust in 2017 gave the chiseled soccer star a chubby face and goofy smile. Sculptors are offering tips to avoid pitfalls. London-based Hywel Pratley says sculptors must first get the subject's profile correct “and then you can go forward with more confidence.” Probably best to avoid smiles, Pratley adds because it's “really difficult to do teeth looking good in sculpture." London-based sculptural conservator Lucy Branch suggests an open vote because the public tends "to know whether the artist has hit the nail on the head.” Colorado State advances to MW volleyball final and will take the court against San Jose State LAS VEGAS (AP) — Colorado State coach Emily Kohan said her team will take the floor against San Jose State in the Mountain West volleyball championship rather than become the latest team to forfeit to the Spartans.

In a lawsuit recently filed by players from various schools against the conference and San Jose State officials, plaintiffs cited unspecified reports asserting there was a transgender player on the San Jose State team.Fifa has published a long-awaited report it commissioned into the legacy of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, but has failed to implement its key recommendation. The governing body's sub-committee on human rights and social responsibility concluded that Fifa "has a responsibility" to contribute to compensation for workers harmed by the tournament's preparation and delivery. "There are workers who have contributed to the resounding success of the World Cup... who have not yet benefited from any, or any adequate remediation," it says. The committee advises Fifa to "to dedicate the World Cup 2022 legacy fund in full or in part to further strengthen the competition's legacy for migrant workers". Fifa unveiled a £39.4m 'legacy fund' earlier this week, but it did not include compensation for workers impacted by the tournament, drawing criticism from human rights campaigners . The report - which was commissioned in March 2023 - was submitted last December but Fifa has waited almost a year to release it. The findings are based on independent research that found "a number of severe human rights impacts did ultimately occur in Qatar from 2010 through 2022 for a number of workers connected to the 2022 World Cup. This included: deaths, injuries and illnesses; wages not being paid for months on end; and significant debt faced by workers and their families reimbursing the fees they paid to obtain jobs in Qatar". It adds that "the due diligence measures put in place by Fifa and its partners did not prevent these severe impacts from occurring...a credible argument can be made that Fifa contributed to some of the impacts". It concludes that "Fifa and other organisations who participated in the delivery of the World Cup... have a shared responsibility... to make remedy available to workers impacted". Controversy over the human cost of building the infrastructure required for the 2022 tournament in the gulf state's extreme summer heat has hung over the event for years. In 2021, it was revealed that 6,500 migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka had died in Qatar since it won its bid to host the World Cup in 2010. The Qatari government said not all the deaths recorded were of people working on World Cup-related projects, and that many could have died from old age or other natural causes. During the event, organisers said the number of migrant workers who died on World Cup-related projects was "between 400 and 500". Qatar introduced labour reforms from 2017, with more protection for workers, a minimum wage, and the dismantling of the controversial 'kafala' sponsorship system, but there have been long-standing concerns over the implementation of the changes. Despite generating a record £6bn from the World Cup, Fifa resisted calls from campaigners, players’ unions, fan representative groups and some European football federations for a £350m compensation fund for the families of workers who were injured or who had died, instead committing instead to the legacy fund. Human rights campaign group Amnesty said: "It is no mystery why Fifa has sought to keep this independent report hidden for so long - it clearly concludes that the organisation has a responsibility to ensure remedy including compensation to hundreds of thousands of workers who suffered abuses connected to the 2022 World Cup. "It validates what human rights organisations, trade unions, fans, and now even Fifa’s own human rights sub-committee have been saying - it is time for Fifa to pay up." The Fair Square campaign group said: "Fifa has plumbed new depths this week. Its 'legacy fund' offers nothing for the workers who suffered building the tournament, completely ignoring the advice of its own expert human rights report." In response, Fifa said: "All reports and recommendations were considered during a comprehensive review by the Fifa administration and relevant bodies. "While all recommendations could not be met, practical and impactful elements were retained. It should be noted that the study did not specifically constitute a legal assessment of the obligation to remedy. "The creation of the World Cup 2022 Legacy Fund was unanimously endorsed by the Fifa Council... A Workers’ Support and Insurance Fund was established in Qatar in 2018 and Fifa believes the new Legacy Fund, endorsed by recognised international agencies, is a pragmatic and transparent initiative that will encompass social programmes to help people most in need across the world."

(AP) — El presidente electo, Donald Trump, amenazó el sábado con imponer aranceles de 100% a un bloque de nueve naciones si actúan para sustituir al dólar estadounidense. Trump dirigió su amenaza a los países de la llamada alianza BRIC, compuesta por Brasil, Rusia, India, China, Sudáfrica, Egipto, Etiopía, Irán y Emiratos Árabes Unidos. Turquía, Azerbaiyán y Malasia han solicitado convertirse en miembros, y varios otros países han expresado su interés en unirse. Aunque el dólar estadounidense es, con mucho, la moneda más utilizada en los negocios globales y ha sobrevivido a desafíos anteriores, los miembros de la alianza y otras naciones en desarrollo dicen estar hartos de la dominancia de Estados Unidos en el sistema financiero global. En una publicación en Truth Social, Trump dijo: “Exigimos un compromiso de estos Países de que no crearán una nueva Moneda BRICS, ni respaldarán ninguna otra Moneda para reemplazar al poderoso Dólar estadounidense, o enfrentarán aranceles de 100%, y deberían olvidarse de vender en la maravillosa Economía de Estados Unidos”. En una cumbre de naciones del BRIC en octubre, el presidente ruso, Vladímir Putin, acusó a Estados Unidos de “convertir en arma” al dólar y describió el hecho como un “gran error”. “No somos nosotros quienes nos negamos a usar el dólar”, dijo Putin en ese momento. “Pero si no nos dejan trabajar, ¿qué podemos hacer? Nos vemos obligados a buscar alternativas”. Rusia ha impulsado específicamente la creación de un nuevo sistema de pago que ofrecería una alternativa a la red global de mensajería bancaria SWIFT y permitiría que Moscú esquive las sanciones occidentales y comercie con sus socios. Trump dijo que no hay “ninguna posibilidad” de que el bloque BRIC reemplace al dólar estadounidense en el comercio global, y que cualquier país que intente hacerlo “debería despedirse de Estados Unidos”.
