NEW YORK (AP) — Right-hander Jonathan Loáisiga is guaranteed $5 million in his one-year contract from the New York Yankees as he returns from Tommy John surgery and could earn up to $10.5 million over two seasons. Loáisiga gets a $500,000 signing bonus and a $4.5 million salary next season as part of the agreement announced Saturday. New York has a $5 million team option for 2026 with no buyout. Loáisiga could earn $500,000 in performance bonuses in 2026: $100,000 apiece for 50 innings and each additional five through 70. Pitching coach Matt Blake said last week the 30-year-old right-hander could return in late April or May from last May 1. “I imagine him being one of the high-leverage guys,” Blake said. “Obviously, we got to take some time to get him right, make sure we don’t rush him into competition.” Loáisiga had a $2.5 million salary this year in his final season of arbitration eligibility and became a free agent. He made three relief appearances during the first seven days of the season, then went on the injured list because of a strained right flexor muscle, then had Tommy John surgery with team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad. Loáisiga was limited to 17 games in 2023 by right elbow inflammation that sidelined him from the Yankees between April 5 and Aug. 8. He is 19-11 with a 3.44 ERA in 11 starts and 152 relief appearances over seven seasons, striking out 207 and walking 72 in 219 2/3 innings. Loáisiga averaged 97.8 mph with his sinker in 2023. AP MLB:

Ben Stokes’ disdain for the World Test Championship has grown larger as England were deducted three points for their slow over rate during their eight-wicket victory against New Zealand in Christchurch.

The home side received the same penalty and all players were fined 15% of their match fees for their sluggishness at Hagley Oval. In response, Stokes took to his Instagram story to share his frustration with the game’s governing body, the International Cricket Council. “Good on you ICC,” Stokes wrote followed by three ‘shrug’ emojis. “Finished the game with 10 hours of play still left.” England wrapped up the match in the second session of day four after chasing down the target of 104 in just 12.4 overs. The Test match could have been over sooner however. England only bowled 83 overs in six and a half hours of play on day one, as well as bowling 49 overs on day three after commencing New Zealand’s second innings shortly after the lunch break. In comparison, there were only 77 overs bowled on the first day of first Test between Australia and India in Perth, but 17 wickets fell there causing lengthier delays than the eight England captured on the opening day of the series in New Zealand. Match referee, and Australian great, David Boon deemed that some time allowances were required due to delays caused by referrals and other matters, but both teams remained three overs behind the rate, hence the three point penalties. Stokes’ side have been repeat offenders when it comes to slow over rates as they lost 19 of the 28 WTC points they earned during last year’s Ashes series for not bowling their overs quickly enough. As a result, they only have themselves to blame for not being in contention for next year’s WTC final at Lords. They currently sit sixth on the table, well out of the race for the 2023-2025 cycle’s finale, after finishing fourth in the first two editions of the WTC, The over rate penalty, combined with the loss in Christchurch, will make things difficult for fifth-placed New Zealand as they will need to win the remaining two matches in the series, and hope that the nations above them slip up. India (first), South Africa (second), Australia (third) and Sri Lanka (fourth) are all in the hunt and their key personnel regularly speak of the desire to make it to Lords, but not Stokes. Even though everyone else places enormous value on winning the mace, the problem lies with the competition, not England’s maverick group of Bazballers, according to their leader. Before the first Test in Christchurch, Stokes said the WTC was “utterly confusing” and that he had never given it any serious consideration . It was the latest in a string of excuses during the Stokes/McCullum era when things have not gone their way such as Joe Root’s strange remark that “Coldplay can’t be number one every week” after their loss to Sri Lanka at The Oval in September or Stokes saying they are not a “results-driven team” following Australia’s amazing win at Edgbaston last year. The Bazball philosophy is built around entertainment, but it seems to only apply when England are batting. In Tests outside of the subcontinent - where there is less spin being bowled - England have only got through 90 overs on the first day of a Test match when bowling once during the Bazball era. That came at Headingley in the third Test of McCullum’s first series in charge in 2022, and they have showed no intent since to give fans more value for money when in the field. Tactically, it makes sense. Despite mixing around their bowling attack at various times due to the retirements of Stuart Broad and Jimmy Anderson as well as injuries to the likes of Mark Wood, England have regularly taken 20 wickets since Stokes and McCullum took charge. They slow the game down and halt the batting side’s momentum, while keeping their bowlers fresher by allowing them to take their time. But if slow over rates is a seemingly never-ending issue in Test cricket that drives fans mad. They simply want to watch as much cricket as possible, especially when paying to attend a day’s play. The ICC’s intent with deducting WTC points as a penalty is that it will speed team’s up. But in England’s case, if they do not care about the competition, let alone the sanction, they are going to keep plodding along when the second Test starts in Wellington on Friday.

An international study has found “high levels of alcohol industry penetration” in the formulation of government alcohol policies in 24 countries, including Ireland. The findings have been criticised by Alcohol Action Ireland, which described industry access to policymakers as “extensive”. However, the Irish drinks industry said it had a “right” to engage with policymakers, given the scale of the sector in Ireland. The Department of Health said most of the Public Health (Alcohol) Act 2018 has come into effect, with two outstanding provisions — on a broadcast watershed and labelling of alcohol products — due to start next January and in May of 2026 respectively. The study, published in the British Medical Journal , involved researchers in 24 countries, including five European states, Ireland among them. It found that Ireland scored five out of five in terms of “indicators of alcohol industry penetration” in policy making, namely: Ireland was the only one of the five European counties (the others being Finland, Lithuania, Netherlands, and Norway) that had all five indicators. The research also examined “indicators of government safeguards” to limit industry influence. These indicators were: It found that Ireland scored four out of five of these indicators, with the last one — records of meetings — the sole safeguard in place. Concluding, the research said: “We found high levels of alcohol industry penetration and very limited government safeguards against alcohol industry influence across 24 diverse jurisdictions. “Learning from experiences in tobacco control, governments should adopt stronger measures to protect policies from the alcohol industry’s vested interests, including restricting interactions and partnerships with the alcohol industry, limiting political contributions and enhancing transparency.” Sheila Gilheany of Alcohol Action Ireland said: “Alcohol industry access to policy-making in Ireland is extensive. "It is clear from lobbying returns that industry meets frequently with government officials and senior politicians across multiple departments. This is shocking given this industry costs Ireland at least €12 billion annually. “Such access has the effect of stymieing progress in tackling the multiple issues around alcohol in Ireland with policy makers absorbing industry narratives and being deflected from taking the common-sense measures that have widespread public support such as controls on alcohol advertising and licensing hours.” Drinks Ireland said the sector was a “driver of economic prosperity”, creating jobs and acting as a catalyst for wider economic activity. in many rural areas. “An industry of this magnitude and reach has the right to engage with policymakers in this capacity and seek vital business supports where necessary,” the statement said. “We do so in line with transparency and lobby register standards and requirements. “Drinks Ireland believes that there is insufficient engagement with industry on alcohol related policy and legislation.” It said that the findings seemed to show that Ireland “differs little” from the findings of other countries. The statement said Drinks Ireland wanted a Government strategy of “proper engagement” with the industry, adding: “This has been lacking in recent years, with policy makers adopting policies that rely on outdated stereotypes.” The Department of Health told the Irish Examiner that five key provisions of the Public Health (Alcohol) Act 2018 “have come into effect”. These provisions relate to: It said a broadcasting watershed provision will come into effect in January 2025, while provision on the labelling of alcohol products will commence on May 22, 2026. It added that the Department of Justice had responsibility for alcohol licensing laws and that the Department of Finance dealt with alcohol taxation.Verizon Business caps off 2024 Innovation Sessions at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles
