They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

Shocked. Shocked the Panthers are involved. And we all know Tkachuk as a Lady Byng candidate for his sportsmanship. 🙄🙄🙄 #NHL
Insane fight between the Panthers and Lightning in the NHL.
155 minutes in penalties and the coach Paul Maurice was tossed.
Video is nearly 3 minutes long.

Obviously DR's lineup is terrifying, but this is probably their best rotation in the tournament's history with Sandy Alcantara, Christopher Sanchez, and Brayan Bello. I have a hard time picking a tourney favorite between the US, Japan, and DR.

The Orioles are acquiring infielder Blaze Alexander from the Diamondbacks, source confirmed (@ByRobertMurray first). Alexander plays all over, including third, second and a little outfield. He hit .230 last year.
