Astros bring veteran INF Luis Guillorme to big league camp
February 13 - The Houston Astros signed veteran infielder Luis Guillorme on Thursday to a minor league contract with an invitation to big league spring training.
Guillorme, 30, could figure into the Astros' plans after free agent third baseman Alex Bregman reportedly signed a three-year contract with the Boston Red Sox after spending his nine-year career in Houston.
The Astros traded for third baseman Isaac Paredes earlier this offseason in anticipation of not being able to re-sign Bregman, a two-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner last season.
Guillorme played for three teams last season, batting a combined .205 with nine doubles and 10 RBIs in 161 at-bats over 77 games with the Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Angels and Arizona Diamondbacks, who granted him free agency on Sept. 24.
The New York Mets selected him in the 10th round of the 2013 MLB Draft and he played for the big league club from 2018-23. Guillorme is a career .251 hitter with five home runs and 48 RBIs in 411 games.
He has played 202 games at second base, 101 at third base, 51 at shortstop and six pitching in relief.

On Sunday, September 7, Shane Williams MBE will take part in the 'Cycle 100km for the Wales Air Ambulance' fundraising event.

Last year's event saw nearly 100 participants. (Image: Wales Air Ambulance) Shane said: 'I am very proud to say that myself and Agilis will be working in partnership with Wales Air Ambulance. 'Obviously, it's a fantastic Charity and cause, we've all seen the great work that they have done, how amazing they are and the difference they make to a lot of people's lives, so I am very proud to be associated with them on this adventure.' The ex-Welsh and British and Irish Lions rugby legend will cycle from Cardiff to the Charity's headquarters, in Dafen, Llanelli along with other participants. Like last year, after leaving Cardiff, cyclists will head towards Bridgend, pedal through Port Talbot and pass through Swansea before finishing their Cycle 100km. Despite the wet weather, last year's event saw nearly 100 participants, including some crew, saddle up whilst raising funds for the all-Wales Charity. It's the second mass-participation cycle event the Charity has hosted, and whether you're a seasoned cyclist or a first-time racer, the event is all about having fun, enjoying the scenic views and raising vital funds for the lifesaving charity. Cycle 100km is aimed at having fun, enjoying the scenic views and celebrating the local cycling community. Entry costs £100 per participant and includes a Wales Air Ambulance cycling jersey, which must be worn on the day of the event. Participants will have the chance to meet Shane and some of the crew, will receive a bespoke event medal and have support along the route at dedicated feed stations. Nina Rice, Head of Fundraising – High Value Partnerships for the Wales Air Ambulance, said: 'We are delighted to announce that after last year's success we Cycle 100km for Wales Air Ambulance event is back. 'Last year we were pleased with the turnout of our first mass-participant fundraiser for our lifesaving Charity. Fingers crossed the weather is a little kinder this year, but if not, it won't dampen our spirits. 'We really appreciate the support of everyone who took part last year and would be delighted if they entered again this year. 'This is a wonderful opportunity for cyclists, who would like to set themselves a challenge, to get together and achieve a personal goal, whilst raising funds for the charity.'

Down can top All-Ireland group and feed off Croke Park buzz, says ex-skipper
Former Down captain Mark Poland sees no reason why the Mournemen can't beat Monaghan to top their All-Ireland group on Sunday, and has praised manager Conor Laverty for 'pulling everyone together'. Laverty's side have won their two opening matches of the group stages, thus ensuring their progression in the Championship, but if they beat the Oriels then they will top the group and qualify automatically for the Quarter-Final stages.

Tyson Fury's next fight options including Anthony Joshua grudge match
The former two-time heavyweight champion has hinted at a return to the ring despite calling it quits after back-to-back losses to Oleksandr Usyk Tyson Fury has plenty of options on the table should the former two-time heavyweight champion make a retirement U-turn. Back in January, the 36-year-old shocked the world after officially calling it a day. "Hi everybody, I'm going to make this short and sweet," he said in a video uploaded to social media. "I'd like to announce my retirement from boxing. It's been a blast, I've loved every single minute of it. I'm going to end with this. Dick Turpin wore a mask. God bless everybody, see you on the other side. Get up!" His announcement came just weeks after losing to long-time rival Oleksandr Usyk for a second time. Over the last few weeks, though, the 'Gypsy King' has hinted at a return to the ring. Recently, the Brit he uploaded a short video in the gym alongside trainer SugarHill Steward. Fury, 36, who was sweating slightly after potentially wrapping up a workout said: "Just in the gym, happened to bump into somebody you might know." He then shifted the camera towards the direction of an energetic and happy SugarHill - who replied: "You know what time it is!" The 'Gypsy King' had the last say before ending the story: "You know what's coming," he said - seemingly teasing a return to the ring. Despite back-to-back defeats to the Ukrainian, the Brit has several fight options on the table should he make a stunning comeback - including a stunning trilogy fight with Usyk. Back in April, Fury revealed he was ready for a third fight with the 'Cat.' The Ukrainian has said that he will have one more fight after taking on Daniel Dubois next month, with plenty of fight fans hoping to see him in the ring with Fury one more time. Speaking to The Stomping Ground, Usyk was asked about fighting Fury again and said: "Maybe it's Tyson Fury. Maybe it's Anthony Joshua." He then added on Fury: "He's not retired. I think Tyson will continue training, continue boxing, because he's a great man. Yes, Tyson Fury... a lot of speak - blah blah blah blah - but it's good. Great man, wow." Responding to an Instagram post of the interview, Fury wrote: "Beat the f***er 2 times the world knows the truth. Any time, any place. sucher (sic) UK next time 100k people." Another fight that could be on the cards is an all-British showdown with Anthony Joshua. Following Fury's defeat to the Usyk in December, many had hoped to see the 'Gypsy King' and Joshua go head-to-head this year. Joshua has not fought since suffering a knockout defeat to Dubois last September. The 35-year-old is aiming to return to competitive boxing before the end of the year, following elbow surgery. Eddie Hearn - Joshua's promoter - recently confirmed that 'AJ' is in discussions with Saudi boxing supremo Turki Alalshikh over a new multiple fight deal. Joshua has not given up hope of finally realising a bout with Fury. The Brit is not convinced that his rival's retirement is final and appears confident that a fight could still materialise. The British pair agreed a two-bout deal in 2020 but saw plans scuppered when it was ruled Fury had to permit Deontay Wilder a trilogy fight. In a recent post uploaded to Snapchat, Joshua shared an image of himself watching Fury fight, saying: "One of these days I'll be standing in the opposite corner. Ready and fully charged spiritually." Hearn himself is still holding out hope that Fury will make a retirement U-turn and fight his star client. The Boxing promoter told DAZN: "It's probably three fights away. For me, if I'm advising AJ, we're back this year, we have two Tyson Fury fights, what else is there to do? Maybe fight a Daniel Dubois, but for me once AJ fights Tyson Fury, he's kind of done it all. I'd love him to have another crack at Daniel Dubois and I'd love him to have another crack at Usyk but you just keep going on and on and on. Now, if we get to next year and he's still firing on all cylinders then 2026 won't be his last year. But for me, something feels right about coming back this year, beating Tyson Fury twice and then sailing off into the sunset."
