According to multiple reports, the 22-year-old shortstop and his club have agreed to a 14-year, $340 million deal. Yes, you read that correctly: He’ll have a contract to be a Padre till he’s the ripe old age of 36 and will be quite wealthy by that point. Tatis inked a deal that is not only the longest in MLB history but also the largest contract awarded to a player not yet eligible for arbitration; he would have been arbitration-eligible in 2022 and a free agent three years later....

Of course, they may just be gauging interest after a disappointing start to the season following a very interesting winter. TRADE RUMORS: Cole Hamels | Jonathan Papelbon | Justin Upton Rivals say starting pitchers James Shields (8-3, 3.77 ERA, 144 strikeouts) and Andrew Cashner (4-10, 3.93 ERA) and closer Craig Kimbrel (29 saves, 1.12 WHIP) are being mentioned prominently in trade talks as Friday’s deadline approaches, although CBSSports.com said the team might just be gauging interest as it sits at 47-52, 7 1/2 games out of a wild-card berth....

Live service games have been growing in popularity lately, which can largely be attributed to the popularity of titles like Destiny 2 and Rainbow Six Seige. While it’s not best to turn every franchise into a live service model, Assassin’s Creed seems ripe for this kind of treatment.

JavaScript supports eight data types: Number, BigInt, Boolean, String, Null, Undefined, Symbol, and Object. In this article, you’ll learn about all eight JavaScript data types and how to use them. JavaScript Data Types Data types in JavaScript can be broadly classified into two categories: Primitive data types and Non-primitive data types.

Based on the eponymous best-selling graphic novel by Marjane Satrapi, “Persepolis” tells the life story of Marjie as she and her family live through the 1978 revolution, the Iran-Iraq War and the increasingly tight grip of religious fanaticism. It won a jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival and has since invoked the fury of the Iranian government. Like Satrapi’s black and white illustrations, the film sheds light on a time and place enshrouded in darkness....

A little prelude to the World Cup will be apt. We had been humbled in the customary 50-over version of the Cup and were going through a tough transition phase in the shorter format. Indeed, cricket in the country was near its lowest ebb in a long, long time. Like all other kids my age, or any age, I revered Tendulkar, Ganguly and Dravid. Their back out meant whatever motivation I had to watch the slam-bang event went right out of the window....

The nearly three-hour Netflix original film is a fictionalized exploration of Marilyn Monroe’s life that traverses the weeds of her childhood and later moments in life. De Armas received tremendous praise for her performance as the iconic figure during the film’s initial premiere at festivals, but The Gray Man star is well aware that her nudity in the will be the unfortunate thing that will garner the most attention from viewing audiences....

As per the experts, if Afghanistan can get their act together in the batting department then it will be a difficult proposition for most of the teams. Which makes sense, since they have world class spinners at their disposal. Afghanistan play most of their cricket in Asia which is a heaven for spin bowlers and most of the Afghan success can be attributed to their spinners. Now the question is, what about their pace bowling?...

On paper, these three names at the tip of FC Barcelona’s attack is a devastating thought, let alone anything else. In terms of sheer stardust, it appears to be an attack that could tear defences apart at will and win games on its own. There is, unfortunately, more than what meets the eye. Delve further into the on-field logistics of this attack and the appear the stylistic clashes, incompatibilities and other issues emerge that, at the moment at least, hinder this attack from truly clicking as a unit....

That didn’t quite seem to be enough misery for Chelsea, who were hit with another gigantic blow as FIFA sanctioned a transfer ban on the West London giants for a total of two transfer windows, which means no incoming transfers are allowed until January 2020. The FIFA Disciplinary Committee responded to the breach of the FIFA Regulations that are concerned with the international transfer of players under the age of 18....

The former AC Milan and Chelsea coach’s arrival was hailed by club owner Aurelio De Laurentiis as the start of a new era at San Paolo Stadium. Under Sarri, Napoli came so close to toppling Juventus last season with a record 91 points. Ancelotti – with a cabinet full of trophies won in five top European leagues – promised not “a revolution” but to add the finishing touches to give the team the final push....

FIFA World XI nominees revealed Bayern have dominated the Bundesliga over recent years and are aiming for a fifth consecutive title. However, the Bavarians have not yet hit their full stride under Ancelotti, who took over as head coach in the close-season, and they find themselves in second place after 12 matches, three points adrift of Leipzig. With just four league matches to play before the Bundesliga takes a month-long break, Ancelotti was asked if it would be a disappointment not to be top of the table heading into the new year....

The inscriptions on the shreds include lists of names, representations of gods, and receipts for food purchases. Among these were hundreds of examples of lines written in a school by pupils receiving Bart Simpson-like punishments, the team believes. The sherds were recovered from Tell Atrib, a region that was once ancient Athribis, during excavations led by Institute for Ancient Near Eastern Studies (IANES) at Germany’s University of Tübingen Professor Christian Leitz....

Libeskind’s plan has jagged towers, a spiky spire and a dramatic void all the way down to bedrock for a memorial site; now he may have to make that void smaller and shallower. THINK has a pair of spectacular open towers (eventually with cultural facilities inside), but one tower’s footing must be re-engineered because of its proximity to the underground transit system. Changes are inevitable in a project so complex, but each team must preserve the core of its own visionary idea....

But, as the New York Times reports today, Romney seems to be picking up steam because he’s spending millions of dollars on advertising. And in this story is perhaps another McCain problem: The head-scratching analogy. The Times quotes John Weaver, McCain’s longtime political adviser, talking about Romney’s surge in the polls. He says that Romney’s up because his early ads have created an “artificial impression they are doing well.” “They are very soft numbers because it’s done in a vacuum,” Weaver says....

“It was a great day, one of the best in my professional career,” Ander Herrera told MUTV after Saturday’s victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford. Not only did the former Athletic Bilbao midfielder score twice in a match for the first time in seven seasons as a pro, but it will, perhaps, be remembered as the game in which Herrera cemented a permanent place in the Manchester United side....

It will be Andrade’s first fight at MSG. The Providence, R.I., native is coming off a unanimous decision in October over Walter Kautondokwa, who was a last-minute replacement for Billy Joe Saunders after Saunders failed a VADA anti-doping test. “I couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity,” Andrade said in a press release. “Fighting at Madison Square Garden, where so many great fighters have fought is a true honor, and something I have dreamt about my entire life....

The NBA center seems to take his poker game seriously, he has all the lingo down pat. Although Bogut didn’t tell us what stakes he and his teammates play at, he did let us in on who may be the best and the worst Warriors in their “home” game.

Both based a considerable distance outside Mexico’s biggest metropolitan areas, the clubs have bought in on a strategy that involves developing young players in the academy and giving those players early opportunities with a view toward turning a profit to fund the organization. It results in periods of success and times of rebuilding. This year, Santos is cruising with its playoff ticket already punched while Pachuca sits in the eighth and final place knowing it has plenty of work to do starting with Saturday’s contest....

Line: Green Bay -3, Total: 47 Line movement and notes: The opening line of 3.5 at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook and The Wynn drew immediate interest from underdog bettors, as the number was adjusted to 3 either later Sunday night or Monday morning, depending on the shop. Thursday morning, most Vegas books are dealing Packers -3, but the number is trending toward Detroit, with some shops at -3 (even) and the Atlantis at -2....
