Breaking: After a historic 19-season run in Pittsburgh, Mike Tomlin just informed his team that he is stepping down as the Steelers head coach, sources tell @JFowlerESPN and me.
The Steelers now will be looking for only their fourth head coach since 1969.
This oneβs gonna sting for a while. Still in disbelief, but canβt express how grateful I am to have watched this team over the past month. Such a special group of guys giving us countless moments that will never be forgotten. Hurts like hell right now, but we will be back.
The Pittsburgh Pirates fired manager Derek Shelton following a 12-26 start that has them in last place in the National League Central. Don Kelly, the former big leaguer who was serving as bench coach, is the team's new manager.

First baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Toronto Blue Jays are in agreement on a 14-year, $500 million contract extension, pending physical, sources tell ESPN. A monumental, no-deferral deal to keep the homegrown star in Toronto for the rest of his career.
More Seahawks trades: Seattle is sending two-time Pro-Bowl WR DK Metcalf to the Steelers, per sources.
Seattle now has traded QB Geno Smith to the Raiders, and WR Metcalf to the Steelers.
Sources: Shohei Ohtani is en route to Toronto today.
A representative of his agency, CAA, would not comment when asked about Ohtaniβs travel plans.
At this hour, Ohtani does not have a signed agreement with any @MLB team.

Tough pill to swallow for the Steelers. Heck of a second half they played after the bye week. Futureβs looking bright for my team, on to next season.
