KIKUCHI, ANGELS AGREE TO CONTRACT

By The Associated Press

A person familiar with the negotiations tells The Associated Press left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and the Los Angeles Angels have agreed to a $63 million, three-year contract.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal, first reported by the New York Post, was subject to a successful physical.

An All-Star with Seattle in 2021, Kikuchi was 9-10 with a 4.05 ERA this year for Toronto and Houston, which acquired him on July 30. Kikuchi was 5-1 with a 2.70 ERA in 10 starts with the Astros.

He is 41-47 with a 4.57 ERA in six seasons.

FORMULA 1 ADDS CADILLAC TO FIELD

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Formula 1 will expand the grid in 2026 to make room for an American team that is partnered with General Motors.

The approval ends years of wrangling that launched a federal investigation into why Colorado-based Liberty Media, would not approve the team initially started by Michael Andretti, who has since stepped aside.

The 11th team will be called Cadillac F1 and be run by new Andretti Global majority owners Dan Towriss and Mark Walter.

The team will use Ferrari engines its first two years until GM has a Cadillac engine built for competition in time for the 2028 season.

MINSHEW IS OUT FOR THE SEASON

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Las Vegas Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said Monday that quarterback Gardner Minshew is out for the rest of the season with a broken collarbone.

Pierce said Aidan O’Connell is on injured reserve with a broken thumb. He could be available to start when the Raiders visit the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday.

“He’s a competitor,” Pierce said. “Obviously, he was dealt a difficult hand. He was thrown in the fire with no reps, but he did move the ball downfield.”

The Raiders also could take a look at Daniel Jones, though Pierce threw some water on the idea, calling it the “third and fourth” option. Pierce said, however, that general manager Tom Telesco would do due diligence.

The Raiders also could turn to Desmond Ridder.

He replaced Minshew on Sunday.

Starting at $2.99/week.
