weeks away. Top prospect catcher Jefferson Kiro was among the cuts reported Monday. The 22 year old
Kiro is recovering from shoulder surgery and is expected to be on the major league roster later this
season. Also being sent to the minor league camp where pitcher is Grant Anderson Logan Henderson,
Carlos Rodriguez and Grant Wolfram. Christian Yelich is working his way back after back surgery
last year. He talked about the fact that he feels he can still contribute.
I still think I can play at a pretty high level. I felt like I was playing a pretty high level
last year up until I got hurt which was unfortunate. It just came on pretty quick and I was feeling
pretty good and it went downhill fast but Todd goes sometimes but I still think I can do it at a
high level. I just got to go out there and do it. And with Willie Adamis now out of the brewer line
up, Yelich was asked where the power hitting will come from. It's a valid question you know
wondering where the power comes from but you know I think we had it at times last year and we
didn't have it at times like there's proven that we've got a lot of ways we can score you know
it doesn't matter how you do as long as you can get the runs on the board but obviously the
whatever it was 10-11 three run homers will they have last year that helps but you know he's not
here so you got to figure it out. The brewers won yesterday 7-5 over Seattle. They will play the
Cubs today in spring baseball. The Cubs yesterday were winners against Cleveland 7-4. Also the
Cardinals were winners as St. Louis scored to the victory yesterday over the Mets. It was Miami
10-5 over Washington and the Yankees beat Detroit 10-2 Philadelphia over Minnesota 4-1.
The box and Indiana Pacers meet in Gainbridge Fieldhouse tonight as the NBA season enters the
home stretch. Milwaukee has 19 regular season games remaining. The Pacers are a good shooting team
hitting more than 49% of their floor shots good for third in the league. They are 21st on defense
allowing opponents to score just over 115 points per game. The Green Bay front office has been
busy. The Pacers announced the signing of two free agents Monday the team reached an agreement on
a four years 77 million dollar contract with former 49ers left guard Aaron Banks. That likely means
two-time proble lineman Elton Jenkins will move to center. GM Brian Goon to Coons also worked a
deal with Raider's cornerback Nate Hobbs four years 48 million dollars the 27 year old banks
has given up just one sack and nearly 900 pass blocking snaps since 2023 and the 26 year old Hobbs
was ranked 11th in covered success among the cornerbacks targeted at least 40 times last year.
There was a big payday for quarterback Sam Darnold agreed to a three year 100.5 million dollar
deal with the sea hawks. It was Darnold who had his best season with the Vikings in 2024
leading them to 14 wins replacing Geno Smith who was traded to the Raiders last week for the Raiders.
They will pick up a quarterback sea hawks get rid of one at least a possible vacancy in Minnesota
depending on how the Vikings proceed and a person with knowledge of the deal tells the AP the jets
and former Steelers quarterback Justin Fields have agreed to a two year contract worth 40 million
fields would step in as New York starter in place of Aaron Rogers. I'm Phil Neat. That's an
