International, intoxicated bettor reportedly behind death threats sent to Lance McCullers
International, intoxicated bettor reportedly behind death threats sent to Lance McCullers The MLB world was shocked when Houston Astros' pitcher Lance McCullers received death threats online following a start he'd made against the Cincinnati Reds on May 10. McCullers was making his second start after a 2.5-year absence from Major League Baseball, recovering from major arm surgery, and did not perform well. He gave up seven runs in the first inning. The Astros ultimately lost that game, 13-9. McCullers claimed that he received the messages after the game, threatening to "find [his] kids and murder them." "I understand people are very passionate and people love the Astros and love sports, but threatening to find my kids and murder them is a little bit tough to deal with," McCullers told reporters. The Astros granted McCullers and his family 24-hour security, and finally, the man behind the threats has been discovered. ESPN reports that the Houston Police Department has identified the person behind the threats. The man in question has remained unnamed and is described as a sports bettor located overseas. A spokesperson for the department claimed that the man admitted to sending the messages after he had been gambling on an Astros game, and lost money. The man claims he was intoxicated. The spokesperson did add that the man has since relayed an apology to McCullers and his family. Charges are still being considered and the case remains open. MLB News: Diamondbacks' Corbin Burnes to undergo MRI on elbow after ominous early exit Noticeable uptick in death threats to MLB players "I think over the last few years it's definitely increased," Milwaukee's Christian Yelich said, via ESPN, in reference to the threats he's received. "It's increased to the point that you're just, 'All right, here we go.' It doesn't even really register on your radar anymore. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. You're just so used to that on a day-to-day, night-to-night basis. It's not just me. It's everybody in here, based on performance." Just last month, Boston Red Sox reliever Liam Hendriks revealed that he'd also received such threats. "Threats against my life and my wife's life are horrible and cruel," said Hendriks. "Comments telling me to commit suicide and how you wish I died from cancer is disgusting and vile. Maybe you should take a step back and re-evaluate your life's purpose before hiding behind a screen attacking players and their families." Sports betting's impact on threats In an interview with ESPN, head of integrity services and athlete well-being for MLB partner Sportradar, said that while the popularization of sports betting has certainly played a factor, these messages have been coming to athletes since long before gambling became so widespread. "It is broader than just sports betting," Brown claims. "Yes, sports betting is a factor, but we see it in all forms, whether racism, transphobia, doping, geopolitical, misogyny. The abuse is insane." Sports gambling is currently legal in 38 states in the U.S., with 30 states enabling gambling from a person's mobile phone. Keep in mind though, the person who sent the threats to McCullers was located overseas. MLB News: Royals call up minor league slugging sensation Jac Caglianone

Ex-Rangers winger Jesper Fast retires after missing entire season with neck injury
Jesper Fast is hanging up his skates. After missing the entire 2024-25 season due to a neck injury, the Hurricanes winger announced his retirement from the NHL after 11 seasons Monday. 'I never took for granted the privilege of playing in the best league in the world,' Fast said in a statement released by the Hurricanes. 'I am grateful for all of the teammates, coaches, staff, and fans from the Rangers and Hurricanes who made my time in the NHL so special, and for my family for everything they did to help me achieve and live my dream. Advertisement Hurricanes' Jesper Fast stands on the ice in the first period of an NHL hockey game against the Arizona Coyotes, Feb. 16, 2024. AP He also thanked the Swedish development teams that spurred his NHL career. The 33-year-old sparkplug was drafted by the Rangers in 2010, making the jump stateside in 2013 after four seasons in the Elitserien. In his first North American game in April, 2013, he scored a goal in the AHL but also suffered a knee injury that ended his season. Advertisement He made his NHL debut the following season, getting a call-up after Chris Kreider's hand injury made room. Fast skated in 11 regular season games as a taste of the big leagues, adding in three playoff matches. He quickly became a Rangers mainstay thanks to his speed and wore an 'A' as an assistant captain for the 2017-18 season — a title he held until until he signed a three-year, $6 million free agent deal with Carolina in 2020. Advertisement Jesper Fast #19 of the New York Rangers scores during the first period during a game against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Anthony J. Causi / New York Post Over seven seasons with the Blueshirts, he posted 55 goals and added 92 assists en route to career totals of 703 NHL games over 11 seasons with 91 goals and 248 points. The final game of the 2023-24 season, however, would also prove to be his last. Advertisement An April 16 cross-check from behind via Blue Jackets defenseman Erik Gudbranson left him with a neck injury, resulting in surgery that caused him to miss the entire 2024-25 campaign. 'Worst-case scenario. Just when the fun is about to start, you're sitting on the sideline,' Fast told reporters after the Hurricanes' season ended in May 2024. 'You just want to help your team and be part of it, so of course it's really tough to be on the side. It was definitely one of the toughest periods in my career.'
