Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Paul Skins, 22, will make his second major league start.
“Paul Skins made his first major league start against the Cubs at home on July 12,” MLB.com reported on Sunday. It was perhaps the most anticipated debut of a pitching prospect in Pirates history. In his second start, he'll face the Cubs once again, but this time at historic Wrigley Field,” said the article, highlighting Skins, who is currently rated as the top pitching prospect in the game. Skins is expected to start against the Cubs on April 18th.
Skins is a right-handed pitching prospect who was the No. 1 overall pick in the first round of the 2023 First-Year Player Draft. After making his professional debut last year and quickly moving up to Double-A, where he posted a 5.40 ERA in five games (6⅔ innings), Skins has been outstanding in Triple-A this year, posting a 0.99 ERA in seven games (27⅓ innings). He struck out 45 batters.
Skins' dominant performance at Triple-A eventually led to his major league debut against the Cubs at PNC Park on April 12th. While his debut didn't go well - he allowed three runs on six hits (one homer) and two walks in four innings with seven strikeouts and one walk - there are still high hopes for Skins.
MLB.com writes, “In his debut, we learned that Skins throws a major league-caliber ball. He admitted after the start that his fastball wasn't as sharp as it usually is and that he gave up more hits and walks, but his seven strikeouts in four innings is certainly impressive. He threw 17 pitches over 100 mph (160.9 km/h), 안전놀이터 추천 including a fastball that topped out at 101.9 mph (164.0 km/h). “101.9 mph is the fastest ball thrown in Pittsburgh since 2008, when pitch tracking was introduced,” said Skins' debut.
“Skins isn't just a pitcher who relies on his fastball,” wrote MLB.com, “He showed he can get outs with his slider, changeup, curveball, and ‘splinter’. These are the pitches that have made him a promising pitcher.” Pittsburgh manager Derek Shelton said, “I think the Skins got a lot out of his first start and it's only going to get better. It was good overall. The pitches were really good.”
The Skins' special pitch is a ball called a “splinker”. According to MLB.com, “The Splinker is a hybrid pitch that Skins created by mixing a splitter and a sinker. It is categorized as a splitter in pitch tracking systems. It drops down the bell like a splitter, but the binding forms at about 95 mph (152.9 km/h), creating an unprecedented combination of binding and movement. Cubs hitters took 12 swings at it in Skins' debut, seven of them for strikes.”
Skins, who is just beginning his major league career, hasn't thrown many pitches yet. In his debut, he threw just 84 pitches. MLB.com wrote, “Skins threw 84 pitches in his debut, the most he's thrown in his pro career. The Pirates are very conscious of his pitch count and have been slowly and carefully developing it from Triple-A before calling him up to the majors. In his second start, he'll likely throw a little more, but don't expect a 110-pitch complete game.”
MLB.com explains why Skins is getting so much attention: “Skins is currently ranked as the No. 2 prospect by MLB Pipeline. He's considered the best pitching prospect since Stephen Strasburg made his major league debut 14 years ago,” emphasizing Skins' tremendous potential.

The New York Yankees are set to sign superstar Juan Soto, 26, to an extension.
“The Yankees appear to be ready and willing to sign Juan Soto to a long-term deal just months after acquiring him,” MLB.com reported on Sunday.
One of the game's hottest superstars, Soto is batting .285 (820-for-276) with 169 home runs, 517 RBI, 557 runs scored, 54 doubles and a .944 OPS in 824 career games. Soto, who is in his age 25 season, is eligible for free agency after the season. In 45 games this season, Soto is batting .920 with nine home runs, 34 RBIs, 30 runs scored, four doubles, and a .920 OPS in 52 at-bats (172-for-52), and he'll only be 26 next year, so he'll be worth an astronomical contract.
“Yankees president Hal Steinbrenner told a YES Network podcast that he would like to see Soto in pinstripes ‘for the rest of his career,’” MLB.com reported, predicting that the Yankees will make a move to extend Soto.
Steinbrenner said, “I don't think there's any doubt about an extension for Soto. His agent, Scott Boras, doesn't usually sign in the middle of the season. Neither do I. I think it can be a distraction to sign in the middle of the season. But I already said in spring training that this is a special situation. It's a very special situation and a very special player. So I wouldn't be surprised if we had some contract discussions during the season,” he said, 스포츠토토 indicating his intention to hold onto Soto.
“At some point, I think it's worth having contract discussions,” Steinbrenner said, “I want to give Juan time to really settle in, I want to have conversations at some point, and most importantly, I want to give him confidence that our team is where he sees himself for the long term.”
On signing an extension with the Yankees, Soto said, “They have the phone number and everything. They'll know who to call. I'm focused on baseball. My job is to help the team win.”
Owner Steinbrenner called Boras “a very common occurrence,” adding, “We've played a lot before, whether he calls me or vice versa. If it's happened before, it can definitely happen again. But again, I wanted to focus on 2024, the most important thing is to win this year,” he said.
Soto, a free agent, will make $31 million this year. In 2022, he turned down a 15-year, $440 million extension from Washington and was traded to San Diego that year. After a season and a half in San Diego, Soto was traded back to the Yankees last December. “Many believe Soto will get at least a $500 million contract next offseason, but if Steinbrenner has his way, Soto won't have to wait until free agency,” MLB.com wrote, adding that the Yankees and Soto's mega-extension is a positive signing.

Roki Sasaki of the Chiba Lotte Marines is out for revenge in Japanese baseball. It's a revenge match in a week's time.
Chiba Lotte will face Nippon Ham at their home stadium, ZOZO Marine Stadium in Chiba Prefecture. Sasaki will be the starting pitcher.
Sasaki took the loss in his last start against Nippon Ham on April 10, throwing 123 pitches in 5⅔ innings, allowing eight hits, one home run, five walks, four strikeouts, and five runs. His ERA spiked from 1.64 to 2.56.
The 123 pitches were Sasaki's most in a single game. Still, the five runs were the most allowed in his professional debut. Sasaki, who had pitched well through five innings with one run, gave up four hits in the sixth inning to tie the game at 3-3 after taking a 3-1 lead. With runners on first and third, he allowed the two runners the reliever left on base to score, increasing the deficit to five runs.
The game was played at Sapporo Eskon Field, 안전놀이터 home of the Nippon Hammers. It was Sasaki's first appearance at Espon Field, home of Chiba Lotte.
Since his professional debut, Sasaki has never lost two games in a season, let alone consecutive games against the same team. Furthermore, Chiba Lotte has lost seven straight games against Nippon Hamm this season. Sasaki has a lot of reasons to win.
“I will pitch with all my strength from the first inning and try to contribute to the team's victory,” said Sasaki, who has a chance to redeem himself.
Meanwhile, Nippon Ham's starting pitcher is Shoma Kanemura, who has appeared in 11 games (one start) this season, mostly on the mound.

Aaron Judge has been perfect in May. His on-base percentage for the month is a whopping .867.
The New York Yankees outfielder hit three doubles and a home run against the Minnesota Twins at Target Field in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Saturday (May 16). He finished 4-for-4 with one home run, two RBI, one walk and two runs scored. After homering in the first inning, Judge reached base in every plate appearance, including three doubles and a walk. The Yankees rode Judge's big game to a 4-0 victory.
The home run in particular had a tremendous distance. Judge's first-inning home run off Pablo Lopez had a bat speed of 113 mph (181.9 km/h) and a distance of 467 feet (142.3 meters), according to MLB Statcast. That's the third-longest home run in the majors this season. The top spot is held by Mike Trout (LA Angels) at 473 feet (144.2 meters) on April 2.
After a slow start to the season, Judge has come full circle. After setting the American League record for most home runs in a season with 62 in 2022, Judge has been called the “cleanup hitter” of the era. But last year, he suffered an injury setback. A torn ligament in his right big toe limited him to 106 games, and he finished with a 37-homer, 75-RBI line that would have tarnished his home run crown.
This season also got off to a rocky start. Jersey got off to a slow start after being sidelined with abdominal pain just before the start of the season. After going without a home run in the first six games, he hit his first home run of the season in seven games, but his numbers for the month of April were less than stellar, 카지노사이트 with six home runs, a monthly batting average of .361 and an on-base percentage of .450. On April 5, he was ejected from a home game against the Detroit Tigers after complaining about an umpire's strike call after he struck out. It was his first ejection since his debut.
But he's been on fire since May. Judge has five home runs in his last nine games, and he's batting 3-for-7 with a .500 on-base percentage and .867 slugging percentage for the month of May, which is all the majesty of a home run hitter. His 11 home runs on the season rank fourth in the American League. He is two behind Kyle Tucker (Houston) for the lead. His batting stats are likely to climb even higher, especially given his torrid pace in May.

Shohei Ohtani (30) of the Los Angeles Dodgers has surpassed teammate Mookie Betts (32) as the No. 1 hitter in the MLB Power Rankings.
MLB.com, the official site of Major League Baseball, released its annual power rankings for Major League Baseball hitters on Nov. 16 (ET). Ohtani topped the Power Rankings for the first time this season, surpassing Betts, who had three consecutive No. 1 rankings.
Ohtani is the most dominant player in the majors with a career batting average of .288 (2,656-for-744), 183 home runs, 467 RBI, 462 runs scored, 95 doubles, and a .934 OPS, and a 38-19 record with a 3.01 ERA in 86 games (481⅔ innings) as a pitcher. He was the unanimous American League MVP in both 2021 and 2023, becoming the first player in Major League Baseball history to win at least two unanimous MVP awards.
After becoming a free agent at the end of last season, Ohtani surprised everyone by signing a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Dodgers despite undergoing elbow surgery last September that prevented him from pitching this season. It's the largest contract in professional sports history. This season, after a bit of a slow start, Ohtani has come back to life, batting .364 (63-for-173) with 12 home runs, 30 RBIs, 34 runs scored, nine doubles, and a 1.107 OPS in 43 games.
MLB.com writes, “Ohtani could have been excused for a dip in production this year due to elbow surgery that kept him from pitching all season and off-field issues (including the illegal gambling case of his interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara), but he's found ways to get better every day. 바카라사이트 In the four power rankings this year, Ohtani has been ranked seventh, fourth, second, and now first. With the best OPS in the majors and an unbelievable barrel batted ball rate (16.1 percent), he should be able to stay at the top of the list,” said Jerry Baker, who highlighted Ohtani's performance this season.
Betts is also having a hot season this year. After switching positions from the outfield to shortstop this season, Betts is hitting even better, batting .348 (62-for-178) with seven home runs, 28 RBIs, 37 runs scored, eight doubles, and a 1.007 OPS in 45 games. As MLB.com notes, “Betts is just 2-for-8 with a .748 OPS in May, but don't let that fool you: He leads the majors in on-base percentage (.441) and is one of three players in the majors with an OPS over 1.000, along with Ohtani and Marcell Osuna (Atlanta). “To say he won't win his second career MVP (and first with the Dodgers) is just too much to ask,” said Betts of his performance this season.
Two of the Dodgers' MVP trio (Ohtani, Betts, and Freddie Freeman) split the 1-2 spot in the hitters' power rankings, with Juan Soto (Yankees) in third, Marcell Osuna (Atlanta) in fourth, and Kyle Tucker (Houston) in fifth, 6 William Contreras (St. Louis), 7 Aaron Judge (Yankees), 8 Ryan Jeffers (Minnesota), 9 Salvador Perez (Kansas City), and 10 Alec Bomb (Philadelphia) round out the top 10.

He made a dramatic comeback from the brink of retirement and flamed out in the majors. Will former KBO player Aaron Brooks (34⋅Oakland Athletics) be able to rewrite the history books in the major leagues?
Brooks took the mound against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas, on Saturday (Sept. 16), allowing three runs on seven hits with one walk and five strikeouts in seven innings of work, earning a Quality Start Plus.
After debuting with the Kansas City Royals in 2014, Brooks spent 2019 splitting time between Oakland and Baltimore, going 6-8 with a 5.65 ERA in 29 games (18 starts) and 110 innings. Then, in 2020, he made a surprise signing with the Kia Tigers to take on a new challenge. Brooks' move to South Korea came as a surprise, as he thought his major league career was well on its way.
In 2020, Brooks went 11-4 with a 2.50 ERA in 23 games (151 1/3 innings) and ended his season early due to personal issues, but he was re-signed the following year. He wasn't as dominant as he had been in 2020, and he had some nagging injuries, but he still went 3-5 with a 3.35 ERA in 13 games. However, in August 2021, he was released after being caught trying to smuggle hemp-infused liquids and hemp jelly into the team. He was also accused of smoking cannabis. In a trial in 2022, he was sentenced to two and a half years in prison and three years of probation for violating the Narcotics Control Act, and left South Korea. Despite being the losing pitcher on the day, Brooks' Quality Start Plus pitching was enough to surprise everyone. Backed by a four-seam fastball that topped out at 94.8 mph (152.5 km/h), Brooks threw a slider (21), changeup (30), sinker (17), sinker (15), and knuckleball (1) to keep the Houston lineup in check.
In 2022, he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, 토토사이트 where he pitched five games and posted a 7.71 ERA in 9 1/3 innings, and in 2023, he signed with the San Diego Padres, but never made it to the majors. This is his first major league start since 2022. In terms of starts, it was his first start in 1706 days since September 14, 2019, against the Detroit Tigers (5⅓ innings, seven hits, three walks, two runs) with the Baltimore Orioles.
Brooks was 1-6 with a 4.57 ERA in eight games (43⅓ innings) for the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators this season. But Oakland's starting rotation has been decimated by injuries. Paul Blackburn is out with a right foot injury and Alex Wood is out with a shoulder injury. Ken Waldichuk is scheduled to undergo elbow surgery. They needed a starter, and Brooks got his chance.
It was the first time since 2015 that Brooks went more than seven innings. It had been 3,148 days since he pitched a Quality Start-plus game against the Seattle Mariners on Oct. 3, 2015, while with Oakland (seven innings, six hits, one walk, four strikeouts, one earned run). On Sept. 21, 2019, Brooks allowed one run on one hit, one walk and four strikeouts in seven innings against Seattle for Baltimore, but that was in relief.
Brooks gave up two runs in the first inning, but didn't get any help from his defense. He also gave up a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning that led to three runs, but he pitched well from the fifth through the seventh innings, which was his best outing of the year.
Brooks told MLB.com and other local media outlets after the game that he considered retiring last winter because he couldn't find a team to play for. “I usually sign a contract in December,” Brooks said, “and I talked to my family and said, 'If it's the will of the universe, it's going to be right. We're going to move forward,” Brooks said, adding that he and his family realized it was time to plan for the next phase of his life.
Still, Brooks kept his eye on the ball and continued to build his body. He didn't hear from her until February. But a text changed his fate. Brooks was still working out and getting in shape to pitch right away in case the call came, MLB.com reports. He picked up his phone and texted Oakland general manager David Post. The two had a long-standing relationship. They first met in 2015, along with Sean Manaea, in the Ben Zobrist trade, and then reunited in 2018 after being assigned to the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2018 draft,” Brooks explained.
“I figured it couldn't hurt to text him and say, ‘Hey, see if there's a spot,’” Brooks said. The Post offered Brooks a minor league contract on Feb. 9, less than a week before spring training, and he began the season at Triple-A, where he was given another shot at a major league start.
“I'm not going to lie,” Brooks said. I was a little nervous in the first inning, and I was a little nervous to get out of a jam. I thought I did a good job of keeping the Houston lineup in check,” Brooks explained.
Manager Mark Katsay was impressed with Brooks' pitching, saying, “Aaron (Brooks) threw the ball really well. He made the defense pay for at least one run in the first inning. It was the Brooks I remembered from before. He's a pitcher who can run the game well and throw strikes.” ‘We'll see where we go with Brooks,’ he said. You can't overlook what Brooks did tonight against a good lineup. He took advantage of the opportunity that came his way,” he said, emphasizing that there will be more opportunities for Brooks.
While Merrill Kelly (ex-SK) of the Arizona Diamondbacks and Brooks Reilly (ex-Lotte) of the New York Mets are currently sidelined due to injury, Eric Peddie (ex-NC) and Chris Flexen (ex-Doosan) of the Chicago White Sox, Ben Lively (ex-Samsung) of the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Albert Suarez (ex-Samsung) of the Baltimore Orioles are other KBO pitchers who are playing in the major leagues. It will be interesting to see if Brooks can keep his major league survival chances alive with his seven innings of relief.
Brooks took the mound against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas, on Saturday (Sept. 16), allowing three runs on seven hits with one walk and five strikeouts in seven innings of work, earning a Quality Start Plus.
After debuting with the Kansas City Royals in 2014, Brooks spent 2019 splitting time between Oakland and Baltimore, going 6-8 with a 5.65 ERA in 29 games (18 starts) and 110 innings. Then, in 2020, he made a surprise signing with the Kia Tigers to take on a new challenge. Brooks' move to South Korea came as a surprise, as he thought his major league career was well on its way.
In 2020, Brooks went 11-4 with a 2.50 ERA in 23 games (151 1/3 innings) and ended his season early due to personal issues, but he was re-signed the following year. He wasn't as dominant as he had been in 2020, and he had some nagging injuries, but he still went 3-5 with a 3.35 ERA in 13 games. However, in August 2021, he was released after being caught trying to smuggle hemp-infused liquids and hemp jelly into the team. He was also accused of smoking cannabis. In a trial in 2022, he was sentenced to two and a half years in prison and three years of probation for violating the Narcotics Control Act, and left South Korea. Despite being the losing pitcher on the day, Brooks' Quality Start Plus pitching was enough to surprise everyone. Backed by a four-seam fastball that topped out at 94.8 mph (152.5 km/h), Brooks threw a slider (21), changeup (30), sinker (17), sinker (15), and knuckleball (1) to keep the Houston lineup in check.
In 2022, he signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, 토토사이트 where he pitched five games and posted a 7.71 ERA in 9 1/3 innings, and in 2023, he signed with the San Diego Padres, but never made it to the majors. This is his first major league start since 2022. In terms of starts, it was his first start in 1706 days since September 14, 2019, against the Detroit Tigers (5⅓ innings, seven hits, three walks, two runs) with the Baltimore Orioles.
Brooks was 1-6 with a 4.57 ERA in eight games (43⅓ innings) for the Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators this season. But Oakland's starting rotation has been decimated by injuries. Paul Blackburn is out with a right foot injury and Alex Wood is out with a shoulder injury. Ken Waldichuk is scheduled to undergo elbow surgery. They needed a starter, and Brooks got his chance.
It was the first time since 2015 that Brooks went more than seven innings. It had been 3,148 days since he pitched a Quality Start-plus game against the Seattle Mariners on Oct. 3, 2015, while with Oakland (seven innings, six hits, one walk, four strikeouts, one earned run). On Sept. 21, 2019, Brooks allowed one run on one hit, one walk and four strikeouts in seven innings against Seattle for Baltimore, but that was in relief.
Brooks gave up two runs in the first inning, but didn't get any help from his defense. He also gave up a sacrifice fly in the fourth inning that led to three runs, but he pitched well from the fifth through the seventh innings, which was his best outing of the year.
Brooks told MLB.com and other local media outlets after the game that he considered retiring last winter because he couldn't find a team to play for. “I usually sign a contract in December,” Brooks said, “and I talked to my family and said, 'If it's the will of the universe, it's going to be right. We're going to move forward,” Brooks said, adding that he and his family realized it was time to plan for the next phase of his life.
Still, Brooks kept his eye on the ball and continued to build his body. He didn't hear from her until February. But a text changed his fate. Brooks was still working out and getting in shape to pitch right away in case the call came, MLB.com reports. He picked up his phone and texted Oakland general manager David Post. The two had a long-standing relationship. They first met in 2015, along with Sean Manaea, in the Ben Zobrist trade, and then reunited in 2018 after being assigned to the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2018 draft,” Brooks explained.
“I figured it couldn't hurt to text him and say, ‘Hey, see if there's a spot,’” Brooks said. The Post offered Brooks a minor league contract on Feb. 9, less than a week before spring training, and he began the season at Triple-A, where he was given another shot at a major league start.
“I'm not going to lie,” Brooks said. I was a little nervous in the first inning, and I was a little nervous to get out of a jam. I thought I did a good job of keeping the Houston lineup in check,” Brooks explained.
Manager Mark Katsay was impressed with Brooks' pitching, saying, “Aaron (Brooks) threw the ball really well. He made the defense pay for at least one run in the first inning. It was the Brooks I remembered from before. He's a pitcher who can run the game well and throw strikes.” ‘We'll see where we go with Brooks,’ he said. You can't overlook what Brooks did tonight against a good lineup. He took advantage of the opportunity that came his way,” he said, emphasizing that there will be more opportunities for Brooks.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Enze Postecoglou has a smile on his face. That's because he's about to make an unexpected profit thanks to an unexpected market situation. The team is planning to sell some players they don"t need, and one of the targets is more popular than expected. Giovani Lo Celso, 28, has been receiving strong interest from Spanish La Liga. This is a very positive development for Tottenham.
As the English outlet TeamTalk reported on April 19, "Spurs are looking to sell players that Postecoglou hasn't prioritized. In particular, the club has decided to accept an unusual offer for Lo Celso. Lo Celso came to Tottenham on loan in 2019 and impressed so much that he was sold outright in 2020 for a fee of £27 million.
However, he hasn't lived up to expectations since his move. In his first two seasons at Spurs, he made 55 appearances and scored just one goal. In January 2022, he was eventually dropped from the squad. He was loaned to Villarreal in Spain. He played for them for two years. He then returned to Tottenham in the summer transfer window last year.
However, even though he was given several chances after his return to Spurs and meeting with Postecoglou, he didn"t really make the most of them. Injuries plagued him, limiting him to just four English Premier League (EPL) starts this season. Postecoglou eventually gave up hope on Lo Celso and decided to sell him on the free transfer market. He's under contract until the summer of 2025, so he wanted to sell him before then. He wanted to get a transfer fee.
But then a twist happened. Lo Celso"s popularity is surprisingly good in the transfer market. According to Spanish media, Primera Liga side Atletico Madrid are preparing an offer of €20 million (approximately $294 million). This is a surprisingly high offer considering the player's performances in recent years.
"It's a lot of money considering Lo Celso is under contract until 2025," 안전놀이터 추천 Timetalk explained, "and it would allow Spurs to spend more money in the summer. Former Spurs scout Brian King told Tottenham News: 'I think Levy will accept the offer from Atletico Madrid. It's a good enough offer.
Postecoglou has to be smiling. In fact, when Tottenham put Lo Celso on the market, there weren't many expectations, but it turned out to be popular in La Liga. Atletico Madrid were the first to make a move, and Real Betis are also interested in him. If there is competition for the player, the price could go even higher.
As a result, Tottenham and Postecoglou will be able to make their squad stronger thanks to Lo Celso. Postecoglou wants to sign an attacking midfielder, winger, and center back in the summer transfer window. One of his top targets is Chelsea's Connor Gallagher. The money from the sale of Lo Celso could be used to fund the signing of Gallagher. In the end, Lo Celso seems to help the team more when he leaves than when he stays.

Tottenham can only bemoan their teammates' lack of success.
Arsenal were knocked out of the 2023-2024 UEFA Champions League quarterfinal second leg at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on Monday (Jan. 18) after losing 0-1 to Bayern Munich.
Arsenal drew the first leg at home 2-2. A win would have seen them advance to the semifinals, but Munich made the aggregate score 3-2, ending Arsenal's UCL journey in the quarterfinals.
At the same time, Manchester City's journey came to an end. The Citizens were brought to their knees by Real Madrid in a penalty shootout, 3-4, at their home Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England.
In the first leg, City and Real drew 3-3. In that game, City dominated possession with a high 67%. Their Expected Goals (xG) value was 2.74. Real had a value of 1.44.
The first goal belonged to Real. Hodriguez opened the scoring in the 12th minute of the first half. City equalized in the 31st minute with a goal from Kevin De Bruyne, sending the game into extra time.
The tension remained high in the penalty shootout. Julian Alvarez stepped up to take the spot kick and made no mistake. Real's number one kicker, Luka Modric, missed. However, Bernardo Silva and Mateo Kovacic then missed in quick succession and Real advanced to the last four.
This eliminated all Premier League teams from the Champions League stage. Tottenham, watching from afar, were also devastated. Normally, the misfortune of their "local rivals," Arsenal, would be Spurs' happiness, but this time it was different. It was all about how well the teams in their leagues performed in the European competition.
The Champions League will be expanded to 36 teams next season. The top two leagues in the UEFA league table will qualify, with the top five teams from the previous season qualifying. 스포츠토토 Tottenham currently sits in fifth place in the league. Spurs wanted the Premier League to finish in the top two league coefficients.
The teams in the Premier League didn't help. Suddenly, the red light came on for Tottenham. With Arsenal and Man City out, the Premier League dropped to third place overall. Instead, the German Bundesliga, which has two teams in the top four - Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund - moved into second place. In first place is Italy's Serie A.
The UK's Evening Standard tweeted on April 18, "The Premier League is giving way to the Bundesliga. The tables have turned in a stunning result that sees two English teams drop out and two German clubs survive."
"The fifth-placed team in the Premier League will miss out on a Champions League spot," said The Athletic, another British publication.
Meanwhile, the chances of UCL survival for the fifth-place team in the Premier League have become extremely slim. "Italy and Germany have virtually swept the rankings in the race for European soccer leagues," according to Opta Analytics, a soccer statistics firm, "with Serie A having a 99.9% chance of finishing in the top two and the Bundesliga having a 93.4% chance of finishing in the top three."
The English Premier League, once a favorite, now has a 6.2% chance of making the top two. In many ways, Tottenham and other PL teams have been put in a difficult position by the lack of success of the incumbents. Unless they finish fourth, they're likely to qualify for Europa.
At this rate, even if Spurs finish fifth in the league, they'll be in the Europa League, a lower tournament, not the Champions League.
Spurs (60 points) are closing in on fourth-place Aston Villa (63 points), who have played one more game, but they have a tough remaining schedule. They face all of the teams in contention for the league title in the next six games.
This makes the upcoming North London derby with Arsenal all the more important. Son Heung-min and Tottenham are looking to return to the Champions League for the first time in two seasons since the 2022-2023 campaign. Having lost 0-4 at Newcastle in their last match, they will need to turn things around by catching their rivals Arsenal.

Who will coach Kim Min-jae (28, Munich) as the next Munich coach?
Zinedine Zidane (52), who is on the shortlist for the Munich job, has denied reports of contact with the club. According to ESPN, Zidane's acquaintance said that "Munich have not contacted him since Thomas Tuchel's sacking was confirmed".
Zidane, who won three Champions League titles with Real Madrid, has been touted as the top candidate for the job by several top clubs. According to sources, Roberto De Zerbi, Ralf Rangnick, and Sebastian Hoeness are among the names on the shortlist for Munich's next manager. That includes Zidane.
The language barrier is one of the reasons why Zidane is unsure about the Munich job. Zidane reportedly doesn"t speak German and English perfectly. For a man who believes that communication and player management are important, the German team doesn"t appeal to him.
Munich also lost Julian Nagelsmann, who was considered a top priority. Nagelsmann was initially handed the baton by Hanji Flick after he was sacked by Bayern Munich in September last year. He was only supposed to be in charge of the German national team until Euro 2024. Bayern Munich had also put Nagelsmann on the list for reappointment just a year after his dismissal.
However, Germany's recent run of form, 안전놀이터 which included sweeping wins over France and the Netherlands, changed that, and the German Football Association moved quickly to keep Nagelsmann on board.
"Head coach Julian Nagelsmann (37) has agreed to extend his contract beyond Euro 2024 until 2026," the German Football Association announced on Monday.
Bayern Munich's pursuit of Nagelsmann was like watching a dog on the roof while chasing chickens. Nagelsmann's re-signing forced the Bavarians to start looking at other coaches. After announcing the firing of Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season, the Bavarians are in urgent need of a new coach.

British media outlets that had been praising Eric Dier (30, Bayern Munich) changed their tune when he opened his mouth.
"The player who had the biggest impact on Arsenal's elimination was Eric Dier," Sky Sports said on Aug. 18 (KST).
Bayern Munich defeated Arsenal 1-0 in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals of the 2023-2024 season at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, on Monday.
After a 2-2 away draw in the first leg, Munich won at home to advance to the semifinals with a 3-2 aggregate score from the first leg.
It was a tightly contested match with 51%-49% ball possession, 15-8 shots, and 3-3 shots on target.
The goddess of victory favored Munich. After a 0-0 draw at halftime, the Bavarians won 1-0 thanks to Jozua Kimmich's goal in the 18th minute of the second half.
After the game, the British '90min' released the ratings of the Munich and Arsenal players. Munich's center-back duo of Eric Dier and Matthijs de Ligt were awarded six out of a possible 10 points for their performances.
Dier and der Licht started at center back and played the full 90 minutes.
Of the two, Dyer had a solid performance, completing 92% (71/77) of his passes, including one shot on target, 87 touches of the ball, one touch in the opponent's box, two balls into the final third, three tackles, two clearances, three interceptions, and three ball recoveries.
90minutes awarded Dyer a 6, briefly describing his performance as "occasionally poorly positioned next to the full-back, but otherwise comfortable".
Sky Sports wrote: "The most talked about player before the Arsenal game was Harry Kane. Kane has been Arsenal's 'nemesis' since his time at Tottenham Hotspur," referring to the 카지노사이트 'Tottenham legend's' relationship with the Gunners.
But it was Dyer who took center stage. "It was Dier, not Kane, who played the biggest role in Arsenal's elimination," the outlet said.
"The former Tottenham player was on fire against his old rivals, Arsenal. He threw himself into every fight and aerial contest. He even made a great save on Kai Havertz in the penalty area in the 11th minute of the second half. It was the best!"
Dyer was mocked at the time of his move to Munich for being 'surplus to requirements'. However, he stepped into the starting lineup while Kim Min-Jae was away at the Asian Cup, and he hasn't done too badly. The British media hailed Dyer for his 'turnaround'.
However, the praise was short-lived, as Dyer opened his mouth to criticize him for being too cocky.
"After beating Arsenal and reaching the Champions League semifinals, Dier gave a cheeky interview," Sky Sports wrote the same day.
"To be honest, it feels good to beat Arsenal," Dyer said, according to multiple British media outlets. Nice!" he said with a big smile on his face.
Sky Sports said, "Dyer's interview was cheeky," as he left the Premier League and headed to Munich on a winning streak.

Tottenham have been linked with a move for Bayern Munich's Kim Min-jae.
"The 27-year-old is unhappy at his current club, with Son Heung-min desperately wanting to join Tottenham," TBR Football reported on the transfer rumors on April 18 (KST).
"Tottenham manager Angie Postecoglou believes the club needs to add another central defender. With Cristian Romero suspended and unavailable, and Micky van der Vaan injured, he believes the club needs another defender."
"Before Van der Vaan's arrival, Kim Min-jae's transfer to Tottenham was rumored. Son Heung-min was desperate for Kim to join Tottenham, and it could happen."
Kim, who joined the German Bundesliga giants from Serie A side Napoli after winning the title for the first time in 33 years, had an explosive start to the season.
But everything changed after the Asian Cup in Qatar, especially the team's form.
After cruising at the start of the season, the Bavarians faltered as time went on. Bayern Munich lost the league title to Bayer 04 Leverkusen before the season was even over. Their bid for a 12th consecutive league title fell short.
Not only did they lose the league, but also the DFB-Pokal, their domestic cup competition. Munich lost 0-3 to RB Leipzig in the DFL-Supercup and were eliminated in the Pokal after a 1-2 loss to third-tier club 1. FC Saarbrücken.
Ultimately, Bayern Munich announced on February 21 via the club's official website that "Tuchel will remain with the club until this summer. His contract was initially until June 2025. However, we have agreed with the coach to terminate his contract in June 2024," the club announced.
The quick announcement of the parting of the ways was a fatal blow for Munich, as the coach and squad were unable to get into a rhythm with their 'sell-by' date. 바카라사이트 Even against teams rated below them, their concentration was poor. There was no one person to blame, but all 11 players on the field lost focus.
The biggest change was Kim Min-jae. Tuchel has started to rely more on the Eric Dier-Matthijs de Ligt defense combination. Kim Min-jae's time on the bench has increased.
In the UEFA Champions League group stage match against SS Lazio on March 6, Tuchel left Kim on the bench and opted for Dier-Matthijs de Ligt in central defense.
It's an unfamiliar competition for Kim Min-Jae. After joining Fenerbahce in 2021, Kim joined Napoli for the 2022-2023 season, where he was a regular starter.
In his last season with Napoli, he played a crucial role in the team's 33rd Serie A title with his consistent defense. He was recognized for his skills in an Italian league that has historically produced strong defenders. He then moved to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for a new challenge.
As Kim Min-jae became more and more of a fixture on the bench, some speculated that he could be on his way out just a year after his move. Local Italian media outlets claimed that his hometown team Napoli, where he played well, could be pushing for his return.
In March, he was also linked to Inter Milan, who are leading Serie A this season, and Tottenham, where his South Korean national teammate Son Heung-min plays.
"Bayern Munich got Kim Min-Jae on the cheap, but his real value is much higher," says TBR Football. Danny Murphy once said he was a £100 million (KRW172 billion) player. This may be a small price to pay, but it's certainly worth a lot more than the £43 million (KRW73.9 billion) that Kim Min-jae cost Bayern Munich when he joined the club. An offer of £60 million ($10.32 billion) to £70 million ($12.02 billion) would probably be enough to convince Bayern Munich. Maybe Son Heung-min will talk to Postecoglou," he emphasized.
"The 27-year-old is unhappy at his current club, with Son Heung-min desperately wanting to join Tottenham," TBR Football reported on the transfer rumors on April 18 (KST).

"Before Van der Vaan's arrival, Kim Min-jae's transfer to Tottenham was rumored. Son Heung-min was desperate for Kim to join Tottenham, and it could happen."
Kim, who joined the German Bundesliga giants from Serie A side Napoli after winning the title for the first time in 33 years, had an explosive start to the season.
But everything changed after the Asian Cup in Qatar, especially the team's form.
After cruising at the start of the season, the Bavarians faltered as time went on. Bayern Munich lost the league title to Bayer 04 Leverkusen before the season was even over. Their bid for a 12th consecutive league title fell short.
Not only did they lose the league, but also the DFB-Pokal, their domestic cup competition. Munich lost 0-3 to RB Leipzig in the DFL-Supercup and were eliminated in the Pokal after a 1-2 loss to third-tier club 1. FC Saarbrücken.
Ultimately, Bayern Munich announced on February 21 via the club's official website that "Tuchel will remain with the club until this summer. His contract was initially until June 2025. However, we have agreed with the coach to terminate his contract in June 2024," the club announced.
The quick announcement of the parting of the ways was a fatal blow for Munich, as the coach and squad were unable to get into a rhythm with their 'sell-by' date. 바카라사이트 Even against teams rated below them, their concentration was poor. There was no one person to blame, but all 11 players on the field lost focus.
The biggest change was Kim Min-jae. Tuchel has started to rely more on the Eric Dier-Matthijs de Ligt defense combination. Kim Min-jae's time on the bench has increased.
In the UEFA Champions League group stage match against SS Lazio on March 6, Tuchel left Kim on the bench and opted for Dier-Matthijs de Ligt in central defense.
It's an unfamiliar competition for Kim Min-Jae. After joining Fenerbahce in 2021, Kim joined Napoli for the 2022-2023 season, where he was a regular starter.
In his last season with Napoli, he played a crucial role in the team's 33rd Serie A title with his consistent defense. He was recognized for his skills in an Italian league that has historically produced strong defenders. He then moved to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich for a new challenge.
As Kim Min-jae became more and more of a fixture on the bench, some speculated that he could be on his way out just a year after his move. Local Italian media outlets claimed that his hometown team Napoli, where he played well, could be pushing for his return.
In March, he was also linked to Inter Milan, who are leading Serie A this season, and Tottenham, where his South Korean national teammate Son Heung-min plays.
"Bayern Munich got Kim Min-Jae on the cheap, but his real value is much higher," says TBR Football. Danny Murphy once said he was a £100 million (KRW172 billion) player. This may be a small price to pay, but it's certainly worth a lot more than the £43 million (KRW73.9 billion) that Kim Min-jae cost Bayern Munich when he joined the club. An offer of £60 million ($10.32 billion) to £70 million ($12.02 billion) would probably be enough to convince Bayern Munich. Maybe Son Heung-min will talk to Postecoglou," he emphasized.
The home team and the team the 'national team captain' plays for are called up. Kim Min-jae (28, Bayern Munich) wants to compete for a starting spot again.
"The '27-year-old center back' recommended by captain Son Heung-min to Tottenham Hotspur is unhappy with the current situation," reported the British 'The Boot Room' on the 19th (below).
The 27-year-old center back is none other than Son Heung-min's national teammate Kim Min-jae.
Florian Plettenberg, a reporter for Sky Sports who is familiar with the German transfer market, especially Bayern Munich, wrote on his personal social media account on the 18th, "Kim Min-jae is not happy with his current situation. He is only a third option center back for Munich."
Kim led SSC Napoli to its first league title in 33 years in the 2022-2023 season, and his performance was officially recognized by being named the best defender of the Serie A season.
Just one season later, Kim moved to Germany's top-ranked Bayern Munich, where he was an established first-team defender who didn't have to worry about competition for a starting spot for the first half of the season.
After cruising at the start of the season, Munich faltered as the season wore on. Thomas Tuchel's Munich lost the league title to Bayer 04 Leverkusen before the season was over. After 12 consecutive seasons of winning the league title, the Bavarians couldn't keep up with Leverkusen and went from bad to worse.
Not only were they eliminated early from the league, 토토사이트 but also from the domestic cup competition, the DFB-Pokal. The club lost 0-3 to RB Leipzig in the DFL-Supercup and were eliminated in the Pokal with a 1-2 loss to third division club 1. FC Saarbrücken.
On Feb. 21, Munich announced on the club's official website that "Tuchel is with the club until this summer. His contract was initially until June 2025. However, we have agreed with the coach to terminate his contract in June 2024," the club announced.
The biggest change of position in the faltering Munich squad is Kim Min-jae.
After the Asian Cup, Tuchel began to favor the Eric Dier-Matthijs de Ligt defense combination. After a brief absence, Kim Min-jae saw more time on the bench.
It started in the Champions League. In the UEFA Champions League group stage match against SS Lazio on March 6, Tuchel opted to leave Kim on the bench and put Dier-Matthijs de Ligt in central defense.
It's an unfamiliar competition for Kim Min-jae. After joining Fenerbahce SK in 2021, Kim joined SSC Napoli for the 2022-2023 season, where he was a regular starter.
In his last season with Napoli, Kim played a crucial role in the team's 33rd Serie A title with his consistent defense. He was recognized for his skills in an Italian league that has historically produced strong defenders.
Kim Min-Jae, who was also a regular in Munich, stepped up to the plate for Dyer while he was away at the Asian Cup earlier this year.
He started from the bench in both the first and second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals against Arsenal, which were Tuchel's biggest tests in the league and in the Champions League. In the first leg, he was on the bench, and in the second leg, he came on as a second-half substitute. He wasn't a central defender, but a left fullback, replacing Noussaïr Mazrouei.
Then Napoli, Kim Min-jae's 'home team', showed interest again. After Kim's transfer, the team's 'control' of the Italian scene came and went. Currently, Napoli are in eighth place in the league with 49 points after 32 games.
The UK also reacted. "Kim Min-jae is a center back who was recommended to the club by Son Heung-min himself," said The Boot Room, "and he is unhappy with his current situation at the club."
"A year ago, Tottenham were looking for a new center back and signed Mickey van der Vaan. Van der Vaan performed well. Then Radu Dragucin was brought in. Tottenham now have three first-class center backs, including Cristian Romero," the report said.
"Enzi Postecoglou's Spurs now want another center back. Romero and van der Vaan have often missed time due to injury. Van der Vaan's explosive pace is injury-prone and Postecoglou believes he now needs an additional center back."
Kim Min-Jae was mentioned. "Before the signing of van der Vaan last summer, Tottenham were linked with Kim Min-Jae. He was also mentioned before he joined Napoli. Son Heung-min is a fan." "Son Heung-min plays with Kim Min-jae in the South Korean national team. Son Heung-min was eager to sign Kim Min-jae and now it could become a reality," said a source close to Kim's move to Tottenham.
"In the Champions League, Eric Dier played in place of Kim in the lineup. Jamie O'Hara even named Dyer as the best player against Arsenal. Munich got Kim for a relatively cheap price, but he will be much more expensive now. Danny Murphy once rated him as a £100 million ($171.9 billion) player," explaining his value.
The Boot Room added: "Kim Min-Jae is struggling at Munich and could be available for less than Murphy's asking price. He could be worth much more than the £43 million Munich paid for Napoli. Captain Son Heung-min will be able to talk to Postecoglou about it."
Kim Min-jae, who has been pushed out of the starting lineup, is apparently unhappy with the situation. However, he wasn't the type of player to 'throw a tantrum'. Kim's frustration was directed at the "status quo," not the team or the coach.
"Kim is not at all satisfied with the current situation, but he is not considering the option of leaving the team in the summer transfer window," Platenberg said, adding that Kim will be competing from scratch again after a change of coach.

Going for two wins at the Doosan E&C We've Championship, the KLPGA Tour's domestic season opener on Thursday
"I have been working hard for 10 years to be able to play on the KLPGA Tour, and I will continue to do so."
Park, 28, vowed to go into the Doosan E&C We've Championship (KRW 1.2 billion in prize money, KRW 216 million for the winner), the opening event of the 2024 season on the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour, with a renewed determination. She missed the cut at the Hana Financial Group Singapore Women's Open on Oct. 10 and tied for 13th at the Blue Canyon Ladies Championship on Oct. 17. After a bitter taste of disappointment, Park is eager to win her second title at a tournament organized by Doosan E&C, the company that believes in her and sponsors her.
She is in her 10th year on the KLPGA Tour. Korean women's golf is full of promising talent, but few rookies have emerged in the spotlight like Park, who won the gold medal in the women's individual event at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and was ranked No. 1 in the 2015 KLPGA Tour seeding event that year. It wasn't quite what the world expected, but as she says, she fought hard. Four years after her debut and in her 106th tournament, she burst into tears after coming from eight shots down to win the SK networks Seoul Economic Ladies Classic. In 2021, she was ranked 69th on the money list and had to play the "seeding from hell" for the first time in her career, but she survived. He rebounded to No. 45 on the money list in 2022 and No. 26 on the money list in 2023.
Park worked intensely with coach Ahn Sung-hyun in the U.S. during his winter training, except for "just time to eat." He changed his grip. 안전놀이터 추천 He switched from a wicked grip to a strong grip to create more consistency in his swing. He analyzed that his frequent mistakes of pulling to the left were caused by leaving the club slightly open. The idea was to control the swing by holding the axis of the swing and reducing unnecessary body movement. It was an adventure to change the structure of her swing that she had been practicing for a long time. "Most of the rookies coming into the KLPGA Tour are long and precise, so you can't survive if you don't change," Park said.
Coach Ahn Sung-hyun said, "Park is a very hardworking player with a big heart, despite her seemingly soft appearance," and added, "She has the confidence that she can win this year."
Doosan E&C's We've Golf Team, of which Park is a member, has chosen five essentials (Have, Live, Love, Save, and Solve) to promote the excellence of We've and its five meanings. They connect their personality and charm with the essentials. Yoo Hyun Joo chose "Have," a space that she wants to have, Lee Hyun Joo chose "Live," a space that brings her joy, Park Geun Beom chose "Love," a space that brings her love and happiness, Kim Min Sol chose "Save," and Lim Hee Jung chose "Solve," a space that solves problems in her life.
Park said, "I've been loved by many people over the past 10 years, and I want to repay that love through my hard work and dedication to golf."

The de facto next title challenger in the UFC women's flyweight division (56.7 kilograms) will be decided.
No. 2 ranked Erin Blanchfield (USA) and No. 3 ranked Manon Fioreau (France) will square off in the main event of UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Fioreau on Nov. 31 at Broadway Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA.
Both fighters have already stacked the deck for a title shot. Blanchfield is riding a nine-fight win streak (six straight in the UFC), while Fiorano is riding a 10-fight win streak (six straight in the UFC). However, the road to the title fight was bogged down when champion Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko fought back-to-back.
Both fighters are convinced that this is the fight that will decide the title challenger. "This has to be a title shot," Blanchfield said at the media day on Nov. 28, "I think if I win this fight, I'm going to get a title shot," she said emphatically.
"I think I should have gotten two title fights already, but life is what it is," said Fiorano. "I believe my next fight will be a title shot. I know the UFC needs to make a third fight between Grasso and Shevchenko, so I'll wait and see."
In terms of fighting styles, it's a clash of jiu-jitsu and karate. 카지노사이트 Blanchfield began studying jiu-jitsu at age 7 and earned his black belt in 2020. Fioreau has been practicing karate since the age of 7 and became a black belt at 18. He has since dabbled in kickboxing and Muay Thai, winning several competitions.
"I knew what Blanchfield was going to do. She's going to come in close and try to take me to the ground," he said, adding, "I'm ready and I'm not afraid."
Blanchfield added: "Fioro has long limbs. I've been working on my strategy for months. I think I'm incredibly well prepared," he exclaimed.
The co-main event will feature a hotly contested striking battle. UFC welterweight No. 11 Vicente Luque (32/Brazil/USA) will face Wakin Buckley (29/USA), who is known for his taekwondo kicks.
Luque has been practicing karate since the age of three and is also trained in Muay Thai. Eleven of his 22 wins have come by (T)KO. Buckley has not formally studied taekwondo, but he picked up his kicks from watching videos, most notably a jumping spinning back kick KO against Impa Kasanganai in 2020. Twelve of his 17 wins have been by (T)KO.
A black belt in jiu-jitsu, Luke can also grapple if his striking game doesn't work out. He is also very decisive, with eight submission victories.
The main card of "UFC Fight Night: Blanchfield vs. Fioro" will air live on March 31 on tvN SPORTS and TVING.

Both fighters are convinced that this is the fight that will decide the title challenger. "This has to be a title shot," Blanchfield said at the media day on Nov. 28, "I think if I win this fight, I'm going to get a title shot," she said emphatically.
"I think I should have gotten two title fights already, but life is what it is," said Fiorano. "I believe my next fight will be a title shot. I know the UFC needs to make a third fight between Grasso and Shevchenko, so I'll wait and see."
In terms of fighting styles, it's a clash of jiu-jitsu and karate. 카지노사이트 Blanchfield began studying jiu-jitsu at age 7 and earned his black belt in 2020.

"I knew what Blanchfield was going to do. She's going to come in close and try to take me to the ground," he said, adding, "I'm ready and I'm not afraid."
Blanchfield added: "Fioro has long limbs. I've been working on my strategy for months. I think I'm incredibly well prepared," he exclaimed.
The co-main event will feature a hotly contested striking battle. UFC welterweight No. 11 Vicente Luque (32/Brazil/USA) will face Wakin Buckley (29/USA), who is known for his taekwondo kicks.
