FINAL: Venezuela 3, United States 2
Venezuela wins the World Baseball Classic in a game that lived up to the tournament’s name. Superlative pitching, excellent defense, clutch swings -- the biggest of them Eugenio Suárez’s go-ahead double in the ninth inning. An incredible show.
BREAKING: Left-hander Jesús Luzardo and the Philadelphia Phillies are in agreement on a five-year contract extension, sources tell ESPN. Luzardo, 28, was set to become a free agent after this season. The new deal will begin in 2027 and locks up one of baseball’s best young arms.

The Mariners are great on paper.
But their starting rotation is filled with injury risk: Bryan Woo, Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, and Bryce Miller have all had issues.
Their current SP6 is Emerson Hancock. If 2+ of those SPs go down, they're in big trouble.
For those unfamiliar, the hamate bone — which could cause Corbin Carroll, Francisco Lindor and Jackson Holliday to miss Opening Day — is a small, hook-shaped bone on the palm, just underneath the pinky, that is particularly susceptible to breaking. While the recovery is typically four to six weeks, hitters who undergo the surgery to fix it often talk about how their power takes months to return. It’s not like a soft-tissue injury; the return timeline on hamates is fairly straightforward. The time to full health, however, can be longer.
Right-hander Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers are in agreement on a one-year contract. Verlander, 43 next week, returns to the team with which he spent his first 13 seasons and whose hat he'll wear in the Hall of Fame.
Spencer Schwellenbach is dealing with right elbow inflammation. The Braves are hoping he’s just dealing with bone spurs. But he’ll miss significant time. He’ll begin the year on the 60-day IL
With pitchers and catchers reporting tomorrow for a half-dozen teams, players are flying off the board. This morning alone, deals that have been finalized, per sources:
RHP Nick Martinez to the Rays
RHP Erick Fedde to the White Sox
RHP Chris Paddack to the Marlins
More to come.
