New-look Gleyber Torres says World Baseball Classic, Winter League gave him a jump start on new season

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:36:43 GMT

Gleyber Torres is off to a torrid start, and he believes international competition has something to do with that.The Yankees’ second baseman missed a chunk of spring training while suiting up for Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. While Torres played sparingly in the tournament — he went 1-for-10 — the Caracas native thinks the high-intensity games put him ahead of the curve by the time the regular season began.“It’s a little bit different than a normal spring,” Torres said upon rejoining the Yankees on March 21. “I feel like those kinds of games and situations helped me because it’s like World Series, playoffs every day.”But Torres also played 11 games in the Venezuelan Winter League during the offseason. There, he slashed .289/.365/.378 with two homers, six RBI and five stolen bases for Leones del Caracas. More importantly, he used that time to fix “little things” in his swing while working on his ability to h...

It’s a nice, relaxing ride. But it’s also participation. You get to enjoy it together as a family,” Barrett said. ”It’s kind of like a competition, too, so there’s a little bit of everything in that ride.”He also noted a punny joke midstream that plays off the word “buccaneer.”Pirate River Quest, a captain-guided journey that also has a stretch onto Lake Eloise, debuted in January.Barrett, who played college football at Colorado State, has played on two Super Bowl champion teams, the Bucs of 2020 and the Denver Broncos in 2015.

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 13:36:43 GMT

The move last season came with seven games to go in the regular season. This time around, it came with five left. But here Max Strus is again, poised to open the postseason as a Miami Heat starter.“A little similar. Yeah, I guess a little similar,” Strus said, with the Heat concluding their regular-season road schedule Friday against the Washington Wizards at Capital One Arena before closing out the season Sunday at home against the Orlando Magic.Strus then paused, before noting, “but not really. It’s definitely different. It’s a little later.”The move is typical of the approach of coach Erik Spoelstra ahead of the postseason. Investigate what works, then find something to coalesce before the season’s biggest games.“It’s a lineup that hasn’t played a lot of minutes during the course of the year, but in the minutes they’ve played together, they’ve been very productive,” Spoelstra said, with the lineup helpi...
