A look at whats happening today at the baseball winter meetings in Oxon Hill, Maryland:---A BUDDING QUESTIONFormer Commissioner Bud Selig will be on site in suburban Washington, a day after he was voted into the Hall of Fame. His election has already raised a question with fans: If the person who oversaw the game during the Steroids Era is going to Cooperstown, should the players who took performance-enhancing drugs also be welcome?Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa and others with lofty stats have been shut out so far, their numbers obscured by the PED cloud. Mark McGwire, an admitted user, and his 583 home runs got nowhere close on the same ballot where Selig was an overwhelming choice.Selig drew a distinction, saying it was his job to clear up the drug problem.Certainly, it was different ... the people who took it from the people who were trying to solve it, Selig said Sunday. The writers are going to have to decide about the players.Good chance the issue will be raised again, and soon.DEAL `EM UPChris Sale and Andrew McCutchen are among the top targets for teams looking to make a splashy swap, and theres talk the hometown Washington Nationals might make a pitch for both of them.Of course, trade speculation is often what fuels these meetings.Closers Aroldis Chapman, Kenley Jansen and Mark Melancon head the free-agent market. The list of available hitters isnt great, at least not matched up to past crops.Slugger Edwin Encarnacion, meanwhile, has one less landing spot as a DH after the Yankees reached a one-year deal with Matt Holliday for $13 million.BLACK ISNT BLUEBud Black is the first former pitcher to manage the Rockies after taking over from Walt Weiss. He might detail his philosophy for mound success at Coors Field during his media session in the morning.Most every manager in the majors gets a half-hour to field questions over the next three days, with Black and Kansas Citys Ned Yost up first. No surprise, Joe Maddon could need a few extra minutes come Tuesday. Alvin Davis Jersey . Shot outdoors against the stunning backdrop of Banff, Alta., the networks 30-minute original production airs tonight at 8pm et/5pm pt on TSN2.

The Croatian served 21 aces and hit 42 winners against Sijsling, who double-faulted to give Cilic a 4-3 lead in the deciding set. "All the players, they know me and they were really happy to see me and they were really happy that this is over for me," Cilic said. https://www.cheapmariners.com/2705k-austin-adams-jersey-mariners.html . Its 1987 and a Brazilian playmaker, known as Mirandinha, is being paraded around St James Park to the passionate Newcastle fans. Al Cowens Mariners Jersey . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Donnie Walton Mariners Jersey .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Brazilian police charged American swimmer Ryan Lochte on Thursday with filing a false robbery report over an incident during the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.A police statement said Lochte would be informed in the United States so he could decide whether to introduce a defense in Brazil. The indictment will also be sent to the International Olympic Committees ethics commission, it said.The investigation was concluded on Thursday and Olympic American swimmer Ryan Lochte was indicted for the crime of falsely reporting a crime, the statement said.It said the case was turned over to a special Brazilian court that has jurisdiction over crimes related to major sporting events. The court, which was established before Brazil hosted soccers 2014 World Cup, is authorized to receive cases straight from the police when lesser charges are involved, without a need for prosecutors.The swimmers spokeswoman, Melissa Nathan, said Lochte had no comment.During the games, Lochte initially said that he and fellow swimmers Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen were robbed at gunpoint in a taxi by men with a police badge as they returned to the Olympic Village from a party Aug. 15.Video surveillance emerged showing the athletes getting into a confrontation with security guards at the gas station when their taxi pulled over to let them use the restroom. While there have been conflicting versions over whether the guards pulled their weapons on the swimmers, Lochte has since acknowledged he was highly intoxicated and that his behavior led to the confrontation.Lochte left Brazil shortly after the incident. Three days later, local authorities took Conger and Bentz off an airliner headinng to the United States so they could be questioned about the robbery claim.dddddddddddd They were later allowed to leave Brazil, as was Feigen, after he also gave testimony. Feigen, who initially stood by Lochtes testimony, was not charged.Under Brazilian law, the penalty for falsely filing a crime report carries a maximum penalty of 18 months in prison. Lochte could be tried in absentia if he didnt return to face the charge.The United States and Brazil have an extradition treaty dating back to the 1960s, but Brazil has a long history of not extraditing its own citizens to other nations and U.S. authorities could take the same stance if Lochte is found guilty.That is currently the case of the head of Brazils football confederation, Marco Polo del Nero, who faces charges in the wide-ranging scandal entangling international soccers ruling body, FIFA. He has not travelled outside Brazil for more than a year to avoid being arrested by U.S. authorities somewhere else.The charges in Brazil raise questions about the future for Lochte, who is planning to take time off from swimming but wants to return to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. He has 12 Olympic medals, second only to Michael Phelps among U.S. male Olympians.Lochte lost four major sponsors early this week over the controversy, including Speedo USA and Ralph Lauren. But on Thursday he picked up a new sponsor -- Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops. Pine Bros. said people should be more understanding of the swimmer and said he will appear in ads that say the companys product is Forgiving On Your Throat. ' ' '
