Canadian pitcher Rheal Cormier, who spent 16 years in the major leagues, died Monday after a battle with cancer. The native of Moncton, N.B. was 53. The Philadelphia Phillies, one of Cormier's former teams, confirmed his passing. "We are saddened to learn of the passing of former relief pitcher Rheal Cormier after a courageous battle with cancer," the club tweeted. The Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame says Cormier ranks second all-time for games pitched by a Canadian with 683. “I am shocked and saddened to learn of Rheal’s passing,” said Baseball Canada president Jason Dickson. “He was a tremendous pitcher and competitor who represented our country on the biggest stage. Above all, Rheal was a great person and family man who will be dearly missed.” A sixth-round pick by the St. Louis in 1988, Cormier broke into the big leagues with the Cardinals three years later. After being traded to Boston (1995), Cormier was shipped to the Montreal Expos in 1996. Cormier spent two years with Montreal before finishing his major-league career with Boston (1999-2000), Philadelphia (2001-06) and Cincinnati (2006-07). For his career, Cormier was 71-64 with a 4.03 earned-run average. Cormier's best year was 2003 with Philadelphia when he was 8-0 as a reliever with a 1.70 ERA. According to the Phillies, that was the second-lowest among relievers and sixth-lowest by any club reliever in the modern era (since 1900). Cormier made 84 appearances the following season, the most ever by a left-handed Philadelphia pitcher. The franchise said in a statement it was also the second-most among any pitcher and remains the most logged in a year by a Phillies player in the last 33 seasons. During his tenure in Philadelphia, Cormier appeared in 363 games as a reliever. It's the second-most in club history behind Tug McGraw and fourth-most of any relief pitcher. Cormier was also active in the community while with the Phillies. According to the team, he contributed regularly to Phillies Charities Inc. and visited area hospitals. And during his time with Montreal, Cormier was involved with many New Brunswick school programs and served as a spokesman for teenage anti-suicide and anti-drug campaigns. "Rheal was one of the most vibrant people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing," Jim Thome, a former teammate of Cormier's in Philadelphia and friend, said in a statement. "He loved baseball, but he always put his family first. "(Cormier) was the kind of guy who would do anything for you and I'm lucky to have called him my friend for many years. Our time spent together in Philadelphia as teammates was unforgettable. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten." Cormier also represented Canada at the 1987 Pan American Games, the 1988 and 2008 Olympics and the 2006 World Baseball Classic. He became an American citizen in 2004 and was inducted into the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame in 2012. "Not only was he was one of the greatest major league relief pitchers ever to come from Canada, but he was a wonderful and charismatic guy who was proud of his Canadian roots and loved his family deeply," Scott Crawford, the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame's director of operations," said in a statement. Cormier is survived by his wife Lucienne (nee LeBlanc), son Justin and daughter Morgan. Funeral arrangements are pending. This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 8, 2021.

HOUSTON — Right-hander Jake Odorizzi signed a two-year contract with the Houston Astros on Monday. An All-Star with Minnesota in 2019, Odorizzi was limited to four starts last season because of injuries. He was 0-1 with a 6.59 ERA for the Twins during the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. Odorizzi was selected to his first All-Star team in 2019 when he made 30 starts and went a career-best 15-7 with a 3.51 ERA. He had 178 strikeouts and allowed 139 hits that season for the Twins. He’ll join an Astros rotation that entered this year without ace Justin Verlander, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery, and lost Framber Valdez indefinitely to a broken finger this spring. The 30-year-old Odorizzi spent the last three seasons with the Twins and has also pitched for Tampa Bay and Kansas City during his nine-year career. He is 62-56 with a 3.92 ERA in 195 appearances (192 starts). He’s won at least 10 games four times and has four seasons with at least 30 starts. Houston placed reliever Pedro Báez on the injured list to make roster room for Odorizzi. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports The Associated Press

Oil prices rose on Tuesday on expectations of a recovery in the global economy after U.S. Senate approval of a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill and on a likely drawdown in crude oil inventory in the United States. But a stronger dollar and receding fears of oil supply disruption from Saudi Arabia after an attack on its oil facilities capped price gains. Brent crude futures for May rose by 32 cents, or 0.5%, to $68.56 a barrel by 0125 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for April rose 19 cents, or 0.3%, to $65.24.

Twitter has filed a lawsuit against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, claiming the Republican used his office to retaliate against it for banning the account of former President Donald Trump following the riot at the U.S. Capitol last year. Days after the deadly insurrection, Paxton announced an investigation into Twitter and four other major technology companies for what he called “the seemingly coordinated de-platforming of the President.” Twitter responded Monday with a federal lawsuit alleging Paxton is seeking to punish it for taking Trump's account offline — a decision the social media company says is protected free speech.
Peter Burling and Max Sirena will be fierce rivals over the next week or so as they compete for the "Auld Mug" but they are united in their admiration for the AC75 class of boat that will be used for the first time in the 36th America's Cup. Challenger yacht Luna Rossa had maxed out at 53.4 knots (99 kph), skipper Sirena said on Tuesday, and Team New Zealand's Te Rehutai is rumoured to be even faster. Despite that raw speed, TNZ helmsman Burling said, the handling was similar to the much lighter 49er two-handed dinghy in which he won Olympic gold for New Zealand with Blair Tuke in 2016.
