The circus is leaving town. On Tuesday, the New York Giants’ veteran contingent dragged themselves into the East Rutherford facility, checked the boxes on their physicals, and prepared to flee the state. Their destination? The Greenbrier resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. That is where training camp will live until early August, far away […]

Indian cricket rarely rewards the aged. Yet, at 33, Madhya Pradesh off-spinner Saransh Jain is finally getting his passport stamped for national duty.

Baseball front offices usually play chicken before the trade deadline. Not Craig Breslow. The Red Sox chief baseball officer decided to strike first, sending rookie left-hander Connelly Early to the Washington Nationals in exchange for infielder Curtis Mead.
