TORONTO (AP) — Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. used some quick thinking to get an out against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night.When Guerrero fielded Christian Yelich’s leadoff grounder in the fifth, the ball got stuck in the webbing of his glove. Guerrero removed the glove and flipped it to pitcher Trevor Richards to get the out.Guerrero won the AL Gold Glove award at first base last season.Former San Francisco Giants pitcher Terry Mulholland and former Yankees pitcher Orlando Hernandez each once tossed their gloves to first basemen to get outs.It’s not the first time Guerrero has had issues with his glove: He had two throws go through his webbing last season, including one that led to a run for Seattle in a 6-5 loss to the Mariners in July.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource

Beware China’s salami tactics in Taiwan

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:58:49 GMT

Ivo Daalder, former U.S. ambassador to NATO, is president of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and host of the weekly podcast “World Review with Ivo Daalder.” Shortly before setting off for Japan and Taiwan to lead a delegation of prominent Chicagoans on a visit, I received an email from one of the travelers asking whether we had contingency plans for getting out of Taiwan in case something happened.  The question didn’t surprise me —discussions in the United States regarding China and Taiwan have focused on the increasing likelihood of war in the region for months now. Whether China will invade the island seems to be a given at this point — the questions are when and how.  Our visit to Taiwan, however, underscored that this debate misses the point: There’s no doubt that, under Xi Jinping, Beijing is bent on ensuring the People Republic of China’s control over the island it regards as sovereign territory — and few in Taiwan doubt he’s willing to use forc...
