Key stat
The Athletics went into the game 32-48 (.400) overall — tied for the third-lowest winning percentage in the majors — the club's best record after 80 games over the last four years.

Jaylen Brown Could Be Traded Within Next 24 Hours As Celtics Look To Move Up In 2025 NBA Draft
Jaylen Brown Could Be Traded Within Next 24 Hours As Celtics Look To Move Up In 2025 NBA Draft originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Following the injury to Jayson Tatum in the 2025 NBA Playoffs, the Celtics' championship window seemed to have closed down. Now, at the beginning of the offseason, it seems like they have decided to blow it all up and rebuild for the time when Tatum returns. Advertisement Alongside Tatum, the franchise cornerstone has always been Jaylen Brown. But according to sources, the Celtics are even listening to offers for him. They already traded Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis and are now looking to even trade the former Finals MVP, Brown. While discussing the impact of Jrue Holiday's trade on both teams, Shams Charania made a major revelation on the Stephen A. Smith show. 'But for the Celtics, this is the start of a very active off-season.' 'The Celtics prefer not to trade Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. But listen, the offers that they're getting right now, and the conversations are going to be had, 'does it reach the value?' and that's the question. So you're looking at a lot of potential movement around the Celtics, and last night was just the start of that.' 'There are multiple teams that have a significant interest in Jaylen Brown. And you think about, for sure, the contract is steep, I understand it. But listen, there are teams, especially in today's NBA, especially in the Eastern Conference, and now what we're seeing in the Western Conference too, it's an arms race in the West. So even if you're a team that's meddling in the playoffs, you're trying to get there, you're trying to make a swing. And I think what we're going to see now in both conferences is a lot of activity.' Advertisement The Celtics are aggressively looking to move up in the NBA Draft and enter a lottery position, i.e, get a top-15 pick in the draft. They currently have the 28th pick in the first round and the 32nd pick in the second round in the upcoming draft. Therefore, they do not have the assets to convince another team to trade based on picks alone. Shams Charania then appeared with Scott Van Pelt on ESPN to give a further update on the Jaylen Brown situation. "Them phone lines are ringing in Boston. My understanding is the Celtics are getting offers, calls on both Jaylen Brown and Derrick White. The Celtics have a high price threshold for both players; they know how great Jaylen Brown and Derrick White are. I'm sure they're getting some massive offers, some big-time calls as well. Their preference has been to keep both players." "They are listening, but will a team get there?" Advertisement Hence, we expect that in a move up the draft, they will have to include a star player as well in the deal, which could be Brown, looking at the circumstances. We may hear the massive trade news on him within the next 24 hours. It is important to consider that trading for Brown includes taking on a whopping $304 million contract as well. Therefore, mostly first-apron teams are likely to be making a move for Brown. Some potential landing spots could include the Philadelphia 76ers, who have the No. 3 pick in the draft and could send Joel Embiid the other way, and the San Antonio Spurs, who were in the sweepstakes for Kevin Durant until they pulled out of the race. Since the Celtics traded their starting center, they now need a high-level center to replace him, and Embiid may be the solution to that. The 76ers were reportedly looking to trade their No. 3 pick after Ace Bailey refused to work out with them. Advertisement Whereas with Chris Paul on the way out of the Spurs, they need a veteran alongside Victor Wembanyama and the young core to potentially make them serious Playoff contenders this season.

The Army-Backed Move Guaranteed to Build Your Core and Chest
If you want to build a rock-solid core and strengthen your chest, there's no better person to learn from than a U.S. Army strength coach. Army Reserve Lt. Col. Jason Barber, PA-C, CSCS, TSAC-F, has spent over a decade at the World Class Athlete Program (WCAP), where he's helped to consistently qualify more than 10 athletes for every Olympic and Paralympic Games across eight different sports. According to Barber, if there's one exercise he swears by for core stability and upper-body strength, it's the stability ball dumbbell chest press. It forces you to engage your core through the full range of motion while also working your chest, shoulders, and triceps. While it's a go-to for novice lifters working on core control and balance, this move delivers benefits for athletes at any level. "When I started as a young strength coach, one of the biggest things that I always glommed onto was building the foundation," Barber says. "And that core development is truly the foundation. Making our bodies more unstable means that we have to incorporate more accessory muscles and more core stability in order to move the weight that we're trying to move." Hold a dumbbell in one hand and lie back on a stability ball as if you were going to perform a bench press, using your core to keep your butt from sinking down, to start. Press the weight straight overhead while maintaining your balance. Do not allow your body to rotate to one side. Reverse the motion to return to the starting position. That's one rep. Complete all your reps on that side and then switch sides and repeat. "I like adding things like that into programs," Barber adds. "I think it's good for everyone to think about that and think holistically about how they train, not just biceps and triceps and chest. So, I'm a huge advocate for those types of modalities." The stability ball chest press and traditional dumbbell bench press have a similar setup and may look alike, but they activate the body in very different ways. The flat bench used in a standard dumbbell chest press provides a stable base, allowing you to focus purely on pressing power, which means you can typically move more weight. The stability ball version, on the other hand, forces your entire body to work. Your core, glutes, and even legs stay engaged throughout the movement to keep you balanced on the unstable surface, turning a simple chest press into a full-body challenge. 'All of the muscles that are in my back and my hips and my legs, my core, my abdomen, and then even using some more, like, accessory shoulder muscles to accommodate the dumbbell, are being used," Barber adds. "That's a whole-body lift, almost. Whereas before, if we're in the traditional bench, we're pretty locked in, and it's really just a chest exercise.' Although most people who've been lifting for a while assume their bench press weight will translate directly to the stability ball, they're wrong. Because the ball is free-moving, it requires a different movement pattern and a whole lot more control. Below, Barber breaks down the two most common mistakes he sees people make when performing this exercise. "Guys usually pick up too much weight," he says. "It's always good to be conservative first, so that's a big common mistake that I'll see, is too much weight, which puts you in danger." Lying down on a stability ball takes some getting used to. Add dumbbells, and it gets even trickier. One of the most common mistakes Barber sees is lifters arching their bodies over the ball instead of keeping a flat, supported back. This usually means you're either too far off the ball or not engaging the right muscles. To fix it, position your shoulders on the ball—not your glutes or mid-back—to create a stable base and maintain proper alignment throughout the movement. Squeeze your glutes and core to support yourself, and aim to keep the top of your core flat and even with your knees.

FIFA probes racism allegations by Real's Rüdiger at CWC match
FIFA has launched an investigation against Pachuca player Gustavo Cabral on suspicion of having made a racist remark against Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger during the teams' match at the Club World Cup in the United States. Football's ruling body told dpa that its disciplinary commission started their probe after receiving the match report from the referee. Advertisement Rüdiger accused Cabral of having used a racist remark against him in stoppage time of Sunday's match in Charlotte which the Germany defender had entered a few minutes earlier as a substitute. Rüdiger informed referee Ramon Abatti, who stopped the match and crossed his arms in front of his chest, a gesture used under FIFA protocol to indicate that a match official has noticed or been reported a racist incident. The match, which Real won 3-1 against their Mexican opponents, was then completed a few minutes later. "We support Toni and we'll see what happens. The FIFA protocol has been activated and we support him. It's unacceptable and we believe what he said," Real coach Xabi Alonso said post-match. Cabral, 39, was quoted by Argentinian media as dismissing the allegations: "There was nothing racist. I called him a bloody coward, as we say in Argentina. That's all."
