Mike Tauchman had a productive 2025 for the Chicago White Sox — when healthy.

The outfielder battled various injuries, limiting him to 93 games.

The Sox on Friday declined to tender 2026 contracts to Tauchman, pitcher Cam Booser and first baseman Tim Elko, making them free agents. Additionally, the Sox avoided arbitration with outfielder Derek Hill, agreeing to terms on a one-year, $900,000 contract.

Tauchman, 34, slashed .263/.356/.400 with 17 doubles, one triple, nine home runs and 40 RBIs after signing a one-year deal with the Sox in December. He was also the team’s nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award.

The Palatine native began the 2025 season on the injured list with a strained right hamstring. He was activated on April 6 but went back on the IL on April 10 with a right hamstring strain suffered the previous evening while trying to score the tying run in the ninth inning against Cleveland Guardians.

Tauchman returned on May 23. His season came to an early end when he landed back on the IL on Sept. 24 (retroactive to Sept. 21) with a right knee meniscus tear.

“I pride myself on being an available player and this year, to my standard, I wasn’t as available as much as I would have liked to have been,” Tauchman said on Sept. 24, ahead of a road game against the New York Yankees. “That’s going to be a big part of this offseason is rectifying that.”

Booser went 2-4 with a 5.52 ERA, 35 strikeouts, eight holds and one save in 39 appearances during four stints after being acquired in a trade from the Boston Red Sox in December for right-hander Yhoiker Fajardo.

Elko flashed his power, hitting four home runs to go along with eight RBIs in 23 games. He went 9-for-67, a .134 average, with five walks and 30 strikeouts.

Elko, 26, underwent successful surgery to repair a torn ACL in his right knee on Oct. 28.

Hill appeared in four games with the Sox after being acquired off waivers from the Miami Marlins on Sept. 24. He went 2-for-7 (.286) with one RBI.

Hill, 29, spent most of 2025 with Miami, slashing .213/.275/.331 with three home runs, 10 RBIs, 19 runs and seven stolen bases in 53 games before being designated for assignment on Sept. 22.

A first-round pick (No. 23) out of Elk Grove (Calif.) High School in the 2014 draft by the Detroit Tigers, Hill has a career 229/.277/.347 slash line with 16 doubles, five triples, 14 home runs, 54 RBIs and 23 stolen bases in 218 games during six seasons with the Tigers (2020-22), Washington Nationals (2023), Texas Rangers (2024), San Francisco Giants (2024), Marlins (2024-25) and the Sox (2025).

It’s a split contract for Hill, who is set to make $900,000 in the majors and $450,000 in the minors.

When Hill joined the Sox in late September, manager Will Venable described him as an “above-average defender, really good against left-handed pitching, good baserunner, has a ton of speed,” adding that “he’s a dynamic athlete.”

The Sox have Luis Robert Jr., Brooks Baldwin, Andrew Benintendi, Hill and Everson Pereira — acquired as part of a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday — as outfielders listed on their 40-man roster.

With Friday’s moves, the 40-man roster decreased to 34. According to the Sox, all remaining unsigned players on their 40-man roster have been tendered contracts for the 2026 season.

Baseball was among several sports Marmion senior Nicholas Garcia tried growing up. Always an industrious type, he was game for any sport that appealed to his brash, exuberant personality.

How did he end up in wrestling?

That turning point in his athletic life came in — of all places — Oklahoma.

“I was probably around fifth grade when I quit baseball and the other sports I was playing,” Garcia said. “I was starting to do well at the national level in wrestling. I went to a tournament in Tulsa and made the championship against Dom Munaretto.

“I just thought to myself, ‘Man, I’m pretty good at this and I should stick with it.’ I wasn’t truly serious about wanting to get better until freshman year and I had my brother pushing me.”

That push added another line to the ledger for Garcia last February at the State Farm Center in Champaign. He captured his second straight state title with a win by major decision in the Class 3A championship match at 126 pounds over Marist’s Michael Esteban.

A week later, Garcia finished his season with a 29-1 record and completed a prized double-double by powering the Cadets’ to a dominant win over Rockton Hononegah for the dual-team state title.

Jameson Garcia, Nicholas’ older brother and a Marmion graduate, is now a junior wrestler at Harvard. He was also a two-time state champion.

In Nicholas’ freshman year, Marmion fell just short of the dual-team state championship against St. Charles East. Now, the Illini recruit is looking to go out with a flourish by besting his brother.

“We’re actually really different — me and my brother,” Nicholas said. “He was much quieter. A lead-by-example type. I’m more vocal. I’m a little louder with my teammates.

“I definitely felt the pressure. He was a two-time state champion already committed to Harvard before I ever wrestled a match. I lost my first high school match because of how nervous I was.”

That changed quickly, however.

“I had such a great support group with my coaches and my brother that I overcame it,” he said.

His outsized personality and style even wore down his older brother.

“Honestly, growing up with Nicholas could be very annoying at times,” Jameson said. “Everything I did, he tried to do better. As much as I tried to keep him in check, I also couldn’t let him beat me.

“This dynamic is what I attribute to our success.”

Marmion coach Anthony Cirrincione said a bright, analytical, open mind is the key for that success for the younger Garcia.

“He’s genuine and believes that he will win every match he wrestles in,” Cirrincione said. “He trusts in his coaches and in himself to figure out ways to improve, even if it’s just 1%. He can rise to the challenge or the occasion like few I have witnessed in my coaching career.

“There’s no ceiling on what he can accomplish.”

In a legendary showdown as a senior, Jameson Garcia lost in overtime against four-time state champion Ben Davino of St. Charles East.

Nicholas Garcia helped avenge that loss by beating Munaretto, Davino’s teammate, with a late reversal for a 4-2 decision in the 113-pound state championship match two seasons ago.

Munaretto had beaten Nicholas Garcia twice that winter.

“Our rivalry goes back to when we were little kids,” Nicholas said. “After he beat me the second time, I was just upset with myself and I made the decision to drop to 113. I was just grinding. That helped my mental game and I became a better wrestler.”

“I’m gifted athletically and my skill level is high, but my grit is what sets me apart. I hate losing. I refuse to get taken down. Every match I walk into, I know I’m tougher than the guy across from me and I win because of that.”

ROCKVILLE, Maryland, EE.UU. (AP) — La hija de John Negroponte, exdirector de inteligencia y exdiplomático de Estados Unidos, fue declarada culpable el jueves por segunda vez del apuñalamiento letal de un amigo tras una discusión en estado de ebriedad en una casa de Maryland, anunciaron fiscales.

Sophia Negroponte, quien tiene 32 años y reside en Washington, D.C., fue declarada culpable de asesinato en segundo grado por la muerte de Yousuf Rasmussen, de 24 años, ocurrida en 2020, según la fiscalía estatal del condado Montgomery. Enfrenta hasta 35 años de prisión en la sentencia, que está programada para el 19 de febrero.

En 2023, Negroponte fue condenada por homicidio en segundo grado en el caso y sentenciada a 35 años de prisión, pero la condena fue anulada el año pasado. Un tribunal de apelaciones devolvió el caso al Tribunal de Circuito del condado Montgomery porque al jurado se le permitió escuchar partes impugnadas de un interrogatorio policial a Sophia Negroponte y el testimonio de un testigo de la fiscalía que cuestionaba la credibilidad de ella, informaron medios de comunicación.

Sophia Negroponte es una de cinco niños hondureños abandonados o huérfanos adoptados por John Negroponte y su esposa después de que él fuera nombrado embajador de Estados Unidos en el país centroamericano en la década de 1980, según The Washington Post.

En 2005, el expresidente George W. Bush nombró a John Negroponte como el primer director nacional de inteligencia. Posteriormente fue subsecretario de Estado. También fue embajador en México, Filipinas, Naciones Unidas e Irak.

CARACAS (AP) — El presidente Nicolás Maduro pidió el viernes a los estudiantes universitarios venezolanos conectarse con los movimientos estudiantiles estadounidenses para que sumen esfuerzos con el fin de evitar una agresión en medio de las tensiones por el despliegue de buques de guerra y aviones de combate de Estados Unidos en el Caribe.

La “misión que le doy a las brigadas estudiantiles de paz de Venezuela es conectarse con los movimientos estudiantiles” de Estados Unidos y “decirles ‘paren la guerra, no a la guerra. Venezuela quiere paz’”, dijo Maduro tras una marcha organizada por el oficialismo con motivo del Día del Estudiante.

Maduro ha denunciado que es censurado en el extranjero en plataformas en línea tales como YouTube, por lo que considera necesario establecer contactos directos con estudiantes en Estados Unidos, entre otros, para llevar el mensaje que Venezuela es un país de “gente buena”.

Desde septiembre pasado la cuenta de YouTube de Maduro ha estado inaccesible.

La empresa matriz de YouTube, Google, no ha respondido a las preguntas sobre la aparente terminación de la cuenta de Maduro, que tenía más de 200.000 seguidores antes de quedar inaccesible el 19 de septiembre. Era empleada para divulgar fragmentos de su programa semanal en la televisión estatal venezolana.

En su sitio web, YouTube dice que elimina cuentas que cometen “violaciones repetidas de las normas de la comunidad”, que incluyen la publicación de desinformación, discursos de odio y contenido que “interfiere con los procesos democráticos”.

En los comicios presidenciales del año pasado, la autoridad electoral —controlada por el oficialismo— declaró a Maduro ganador, pero a diferencia de comicios anteriores, nunca ofreció conteos detallados de votos para respaldar el resultado anunciado.

Varios gobiernos de la región, así como Estados Unidos, desconocieron el anuncio oficial que daba la reelección a Maduro para un tercer mandato de seis años.

El gobierno de Trump dice que el despliegue naval busca combatir las amenazas de los cárteles de drogas latinoamericanos. Maduro, en tanto, describe el despliegue como un ataque a la soberanía de la nación y parte de un esfuerzo por derrocarlo.

A inicios de agosto, Washington duplicó a 50 millones de dólares una recompensa por información que dé con la captura de Maduro, a quien acusó formalmente de narcoterrorismo. Maduro ha dicho que son infundadas las denuncias y que buscarían desestabilizar su gobierno.

The fallout from Jeffrey Epstein’s transgressions spans oceans and continents, from the vulnerable girls he exploited to the privileged people and institutions that chose to associate with him, cover up his activities — or look away. No one has paid a higher cost than Epstein’s victims, who number more than 1,000, according to the Justice Department.

The world will soon have more information. President Donald Trump, friends with Epstein for years before he says they had a falling out in the early to mid-2000s, signed a bill late Wednesday forcing the Justice Department to make public many of its files on Epstein. The president’s reversal was a rare bow to the fact that his fight to quash the files was doomed in the Republican-led Congress, a development noted in foreign news outlets as a moment of exposure on the home front for the brash American president who had dominated geopolitics all year.

It’s worth noting that elected representatives of a nation bitterly divided on so much else at least could agree that the web of Epstein’s sex trafficking must be exposed. Yet even that has limits, because the legislation shields some of the case files from public view. Trump has insisted throughout that he has done nothing wrong and did not know of Epstein’s activities.

But even in death, Epstein bedevils not only the president but academics, government leaders, royalty, journalists and banks, across borders and parties. Public trust has suffered, too. Here’s a look at the escalating cost of the truth in the ongoing scandal.

Epstein friendship upends a pillar of academia

Economist Lawrence Summers has bounced back before after falling from the pinnacles of academia, government and punditry. That’s not likely for now, in the face of newly released emails showing that Summers stayed in touch with Epstein years after the disgraced financier pled guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor.

The letters reveal that Summers appeared to ask Epstein for advice about women — and Epstein dubbed himself Summers’ “wing man” — as late as 2019. That has cost the economist his positions with OpenAI, the Center for American Progress, a think tank, and the Budget Lab at Yale University. At first, Summers pledged to keep teaching classes at Harvard, captured in an eyebrow-raising video Wednesday in which he opened a class by noting his shame about the relationship with Epstein. Then he stepped away from that job, too, the university said.

The 70-year-old Summers, a former treasury secretary and onetime contender to lead the Federal Reserve, has had to give up responsibilities at Harvard before. In 2006, he stepped down as president of the elite school after a speech in which he suggested that women were less represented in math and science fields because of “intrinsic aptitude.”

This week, Harvard said it was conducting its own review. In 2020, the elite school reported that Epstein visited its Cambridge, Mass., campus more than 40 times after his 2008 plea deal. It said he was given his own office and unfettered access to a research center he helped establish. It also found that Harvard accepted more than $9 million from Epstein during the decade leading up to his conviction but barred him from making further donations after that point.

A former prince loses royal title, duties, castle home

A well-documented connection with Epstein has cost Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor his home on castle grounds and his title as prince of the realm.

Revelations about the king’s brother trickled forth for years and left little doubt that Mountbatten-Windsor, as Prince Andrew is now known, not only was involved in Epstein’s sex crimes against minors but stayed in touch with the disgraced financier after his conviction.

The evidence against Andrew grew increasingly hard to ignore even by his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, who was said to consider Mountbatten-Windsor her favorite child and may have shielded him from the full consequences of his scandals.

That became impossible after Andrew gave a disastrous interview to the BBC in 2019. He was widely panned for failing to show empathy for Epstein’s victims and for offering unbelievable explanations for the friendship.

In her posthumous memoir, Virginia Giuffre said she was only 17 when she was trafficked to Andrew and that Epstein took a now-famous photograph that showed the then-prince with his hand around her waist.

Andrew denied ever meeting Giuffre, did not recall the photo being taken and committed no crimes. But he did reach a settlement with her. Giuffre died by suicide in April.

“I can’t take any more of this,” a sender identified in Epstein’s contacts as “The Duke” wrote to him in 2011 of the scrutiny of their friendship, according to the partly redacted emails released by the House.

The flood of tawdry stories threatened to undermine support for the British monarchy at a time when Charles, 76 and in cancer treatment, is seeking ways to buttress the institution for his son, Prince William, to inherit.

Charles stripped Andrew of his title and forced him to move out of Royal Lodge, the 30-room mansion near Windsor Castle where Mountbatten-Windsor has lived for more than 20 years. Mountbatten-Windsor is banished to Sandringham, the king’s remote and private estate in the east of England.

Trump’s image of control took a hit

This time, the president failed to control a crisis of his own making — then claimed credit for resolving it.

In fact, Trump signed the bill to release files only after he’d lost a highly visible political fight, including with some of his fiercest MAGA defenders. That started a 30-day clock ticking for the release.

But six years after Epstein’s death, his friendship with Trump continues to chip away at the president’s time, attention and support.

Trump increasingly began paying those costs in July, when the Justice Department abruptly reversed course and announced that no “further disclosure” of the Epstein files would be forthcoming. MAGA supporters, expecting Trump to make good on his campaign promise to release the files, edged toward rebellion.

Trump claimed he no longer wanted the support of such “stupid people” and “weaklings” — but that didn’t quiet them. He tried lashing out at reporters who asked about Epstein, but they kept doing so. A White House effort to lean on key Republicans supporting the files’ release didn’t work.

Major developments that Trump has trumpeted as achievements didn’t quiet the Epstein issue for long. Democrats made sure of that, releasing their choice Epstein emails on Nov. 12, the same day Congress and Trump ended a record 43-day government shutdown.

The president thundered on social media that Epstein’s email claiming that Trump “knew about the girls” was a “hoax.” At another point, the president was forced to respond to a Wall Street Journal report that he’d written and signed a bawdy birthday note to Epstein that referred to secrets. Trump denied writing the note and filed a $10 billion defamation suit against the news outlet. Earlier this month, the president directed the Justice Department to investigate Democrats linked to Epstein.

Then, faced with the fact that all but one Republican in Congress would vote to release the FBI files, Trump abruptly backtracked.

“I DON’T CARE!” Trump wrote in a social media post. “All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT.”

DOJ Sues California To End In-State College Tuition For Illegal Immigrants

BOSTON — The information needed to decipher the last remaining unsolved secret message embedded within a sculpture at CIA headquarters in Virginia sold at auction for nearly $1 million, the auction house announced Friday.

The winner will get a private meeting with the 80-year-old artist to go over the codes and charts in hopes of continuing what he’s been doing for decades: interacting with would-be cryptanalyst sleuths.

The archive owned by the artist who created Kryptos, Jim Sanborn, was sold to an anonymous bidder for $963,000, according to RR Auction of Boston. The archive includes documents and coding charts for the sculpture, dedicated in 1990.

Three of the messages on the 10-foot-tall (3-meter) sculpture — known as K1, K2 and K3 — have been solved, but a solution for the fourth, K-4, has frustrated the experts and enthusiasts who have tried to decipher the S-shaped copper screen.

The artwork resembles a piece of paper coming out of a fax machine. One side has a series of staggered alphabets that are key to decoding the four encrypted messages on the other side.

One person has contacted Sanborn regularly for the past two decades in an effort to solve K4, and Sanborn received so many inquiries he started charging $50 per submission. Sanborn decided to sell off the solution to K4, putting it in the hands of someone he hopes will keep its secrets and continue interacting with followers.

RR Auction said the winner will get a private meeting with Sanborn to go over the codes, charts and artistic intent behind K4 and an alternate paragraph he called K5.

The purchaser’s “long-term stewardship plan” is being developed, according to the auction house.

Sanborn’s roughly 50 public sculptures include a memorial for a 2019 mass shooting in Odessa, Texas.

The archive auction was almost derailed in September when two Kryptos sleuths found Sanborn’s original scrambled texts in the artist’s papers in the Smithsonian.

The sale went ahead but was changed from offering only the secrets to K4 to selling his entire archive.

“The important distinction is that they discovered it. They did not decipher it,” Sanborn told The Associated Press. “They do not have the key. They don’t have the method with which it’s deciphered.”

The Chicago Cubs did not face many tough decisions when determining whether to tender contracts to their arbitration-eligible players.

Only the White Sox had fewer players who met those qualifications than the Cubs’ four: left-hander Justin Steele, right-hander Javier Assad, reliever Eli Morgan and catcher Reese McGuire. To keep them under contract for 2026, the Cubs needed to tender each of them a contract by Friday’s 4 p.m. deadline. The Cubs opted to nontender McGuire and Morgan.

The return of Steele and Assad was an obvious decision by the organization. MLB Trade Rumors projects Steele will get $6.55 million in arbitration while Assad is projected to receive $1.9 million for 2026.

Steele, coming off left elbow surgery, is expected to return early in the season, though the Cubs will be cautious with his buildup process. Steele, 30, made four starts in 2025 before undergoing season-ending surgery. Steele started throwing on flat ground a few weeks ago.

Assad, 28, has proved valuable with his ability to pitch in relief and start. A reoccurring oblique injury limited him to eight games (seven starts) in which he posted a 3.65 ERA in 37 innings.

McGuire, a nonroster invitee to spring training, thrived when an opportunity with the big-league club opened in May when catcher Miguel Amaya went down with a multiweek oblique injury. McGuire, 30, produced a career-high nine home runs and 24 RBIs with a 94 OPS+ in 44 games and was lauded for his defense behind the plate.

Morgan had been acquired last offseason from the Cleveland Guardians as a controllable piece for the bullpen but struggled in seven appearances, allowing 10 runs and 12 hits in 7 1/3 innings. The 29-year-old right-hander landed on the injured list with a right elbow impingement in mid-April and did not pitch again for the Cubs.

Por STEPHEN HAWKINS

El jardinero y bateador Adolis García, el receptor ambidiestro Jonah Heim y el relevista derecho Josh Sborz se convirtieron en agentes libres el viernes, cuando los Rangers de Texas se abstuvieron de ofrecer contratos para 2026 a un trío que desempeñó papeles significativos hace dos años para obtener el único campeonato de la Serie Mundial del equipo.

“Independientemente de lo que suceda en el futuro, Adolis, Jonah y Josh siempre serán recordados por sus contribuciones al primer título de la Serie Mundial en la historia de la franquicia”, reconoció Chris Young, presidente de operaciones deportivas. “Esos recuerdos siempre tendrán un lugar especial en los corazones de los fanáticos de los Rangers. Estamos agradecidos por su tiempo en Texas y la huella que han dejado en este club”.

Los Rangers tampoco ofrecieron contrato al relevista derecho Jacob Webb antes de la fecha límite del viernes, pero llegaron a un acuerdo por un año con el jardinero ambidiestro Sam Haggerty para evitar el arbitraje salarial.

García conectó jonrones en cinco juegos consecutivos durante la postemporada de 2023, incluyendo su batazo decisivo en la 11ª entrada del primer encuentro de la Serie Mundial. Ello ocurrió después de que fue nombrado el Jugador Más Valioso de la Serie de Campeonato de la Liga Americana con un récord de 15 carreras impulsadas contra Houston.

Heim y García fueron elegidos al Juego de Estrellas y ganadores del Guante de Oro en 2023, pero sus números han disminuido desde entonces.

García, de 32 años, bateó para .245 con 39 jonrones y 107 carreras impulsadas en 2023, y este año tuvo un promedio de .227 con 19 vuelacercas y 75 remolcadas. Heim bateó para .213 con 11 cuadrangulares y 43 producidas este año, por debajo de .258 con 18 jonrones y 95 impulsadas durante la temporada del campeonato.

El cubano García tuvo un OPS de .675 en las últimas dos temporadas, ubicándose en el puesto 117 entre 123 bateadores calificados. Heim no fue un bateador calificado, pero tuvo un OPS de .602 en 924 apariciones al plato.

Sborz consiguió los últimos siete outs en la victoria que aseguró la Serie Mundial de 2023 en Arizona. Un año después, se limitó a 16 innings y un tercio en 17 apariciones, al ingresar en la lista de lesionados cuatro veces por problemas en el hombro derecho.

Nunca lanzó por los Rangers este año y jamás se ha recuperado completamente de la cirugía de hombro que se le practicó en noviembre pasado.

Webb tuvo un récord de 5-4 con un salvamento y una efectividad de 3.00 en 55 apariciones de relevo durante su única temporada con Texas. Haggerty bateó para .253 en 64 juegos este año, incluyendo aperturas en las tres posiciones de los jardines y como bateador designado.

Texas todavía tiene cuatro jugadores elegibles para el arbitraje salarial: el primera base Jake Burger, el infielder dominicano Ezequiel Durán, el tercera base Josh Jung y el jugador multifuncional Josh Smith.

SAO PAULO (AP) — Los abogados del expresidente de Brasil Jair Bolsonaro solicitaron el viernes al Supremo Tribunal Federal que le permita cumplir su condena en arresto domiciliario debido a problemas de salud.

Bolsonaro fue declarado culpable en septiembre de intento de golpe de Estado tras su derrota electoral de 2022 y fue sentenciado a 27 años y tres meses de prisión. Este mes, el STF rechazó por unanimidad una apelación de su equipo de abogados, aunque se prevé que presenten otra esta semana.

Ha estado bajo arresto domiciliario desde agosto después de que el STF dictaminara que violó las medidas cautelares impuestas. El expresidente aún no ha comenzado a cumplir su condena en el juicio por intento de golpe de Estado.

Los abogados afirmaron que los informes médicos de Bolsonaro muestran que necesita un control estricto de su presión arterial y ritmo cardíaco, pruebas regulares y medicamentos específicos, además de visitas frecuentes de múltiples especialistas, incluidos un cardiólogo, un neumólogo y un gastroenterólogo.

“Si el peticionario es enviado a prisión, su salud estará en riesgo y no recibirá la atención médica que necesita”, dijeron los abogados en la petición, que fue revisada por The Associated Press.

También mencionaron una reciente inspección de la Defensoría Pública, la cual indica que las condiciones en un centro de detención en Brasilia, adonde podría ser enviado a cumplir su condena, son precarias.

Bolsonaro ha sido hospitalizado en múltiples ocasiones desde que fue apuñalado en un evento de campaña antes de las elecciones presidenciales de 2018. En abril, se sometió a una cirugía por una obstrucción intestinal.
