Clubhouse

The culture within the Los Angeles Dodgers organization has been a significant contributor to their success and made them a premier destination for free agents in recent years. When Shohei Ohtani signed with the Dodgers in December 2024, he was already a two-time American League MVP and had firmly established himself as the best player in baseball. But he also brought an aura with him, and as an established star, it could have been difficult for players already on the team to offer advice or call out mistakes. That has been seen in other clubhouses across sports, where the star players don’t feel the need to buy in or listen to the advice of other players. However, Ohtani was open to feedback from his new team early on and fit into the culture of the clubhouse well. During an appearance on “Foul Territory,” Max Muncy described how coachable Ohtani was and his willingness to buy in: “I remember very clearly within the first month of us having Shohei, there was a play where he was running the bases and he didn’t necessarily get as good of a secondary lead and he wasn’t able to score on a certain play.  » Read

One reported reason the Texas Rangers traded star infielder Marcus Semien to the New York Mets for outfielder Brandon Nimmo was due to "tension" between Semien and shortstop Corey Seager. However, it appears Nimmo is coming from a clubhouse that didn't get along, which could lead to more issues within the Rangers' clubhouse. “What done tells you how big a s— show their clubhouse was,” said one rival executive who was granted anonymity for his candor, per The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon . "The guessing is over. It was a disaster.” Latest exec quote on Mets' mess could make Rangers regret Brandon Nimmo tradeIn addition to trading Nimmo, the Mets dealt Jeff McNeil to the Athletics and didn't re-sign closer Edwin Diaz, who signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and first baseman Pete Alonso, who signed with the Baltimore Orioles. Of course, we as fans don't know Nimmo personally, but the fact that he, as a veteran,  » Read More

Mets rumors: Roster makeover proves clubhouse was a ‘s**t show’ last season appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here. The New York Mets chose to trade longtime second baseman Jeff McNeil to the Athletics on Monday, and insiders already feel as though they have a grasp on what president of baseball operations David Stearns is hoping to achieve this offseason. Advertisement According to Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic, the Mets are making a conscious effort to construct a healthier clubhouse environment. “With their trade of Jeff McNeil to the Athletics on Monday, this offseason the New York Mets have parted with three homegrown fixtures — Pete Alonso in free agency and McNeil and Brandon Nimmo in trades,” Rosenthal and Sammon wrote. “What they’ve done tells you how big a s— show their clubhouse was,” said one rival executive who was granted anonymity for his candor.  » Read More

Italy's competition authority said Monday it had fined the US tech giant Apple 98 million euros ($115 million) for allegedly abusing its dominant position in the mobile app market. The AGCM said in a statement that Apple had violated privacy regulations for third-party developers in a market where it "holds a super-dominant position through its App Store". Apple said it would appeal the decision and defended its "strong privacy protections for our users". But Italy's antitrust body said its investigation had established the "restrictive nature" of the "privacy rules imposed by Apple... on third-party developers of apps distributed through the App Store". The rules of Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) "are imposed unilaterally and harm the interests of Apple's commercial partners", according to the AGCM statement. French antitrust authorities earlier this year handed Apple a 150-million euro fine over its app tracking privacy feature. Authorities elsewhere in Europe have also opened similar probes over ATT, which Apple promotes as a privacy safeguard. The feature, introduced by Apple in 2021,  » Read More

The Suva High Court will decide on bail for the man accused of setting fire to the QVS Club House in Suva in June this year on 6th January, after receiving his psychiatric evaluation report. Nigel Yogesh Singh is charged with one count of arson. The counsel for the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions told the court that they have not received the psychiatric evaluation report as yet. While seated in the dock, Singh interjected, asking how long the process would take, saying he has been waiting for a long time. He told Justice Dane Tuiqereqere that he does not have a mental illness. Justice Tuiqereqere has ordered St Giles Hospital to provide the psychiatric report by 2nd January, after which he will consider the bail application. Singh again interjected, stating he has no family in Fiji to act as sureties as they are overseas, and that he is homeless and begs on the streets. Justice Tuiqereqere directed Legal Aid counsel Tobia Ravuniwa to speak with Singh regarding his bail application.  » Read More

News Local News Perthshire The aim is for the clubhouse to be an asset for the Highland Perthshire town used by various sports clubs and members of the whole communityThere was reason for festive cheer in Highland Perthshire after councillors unanimously granted a licence for The Aberfeldy Sports Club. A brand new clubhouse has been built in Aberfeldy using around £1 million of funding from various organisations. The Aberfeldy Sports Club's aim is to "provide an asset to Aberfeldy that will welcome the whole community". With golf club membership declining from over 500 in the 1970s to less than 100 today, members embraced a new multi-activity approach to ensure sustainability. Both Aberfeldy Golf Club (AGC) and Aberfeldy Rugby Football Club (ARFC) needed modern clubhouse facilities and so the idea of The Aberfeldy Sports Club was born. The brand new clubhouse has been built on the site of the old golf clubhouse,  » Read More

The Phillies traded lefty Matt Strahm to the Royals on Friday in exchange for righty reliever Jonathan Bowlan. Philadelphia has two other solid lefty relievers in Jose Alvarado and Tanner Banks, to say nothing of Jhoan Duran and the recently-signed Brad Keller from the right side. With a strong late-inning mix in those four, it made sense to clear Strahm’s $7.5MM salary for 2026 to help with other additions, such as a J.T. Realmuto reunion. According to Matt Gelb of the Athletic, Strahm was outspoken in his opinions on how the bullpen and clubhouse were managed, which clashed with coaches and other team officials. Meanwhile, Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski framed the matter as a more of a question of contractual control, telling reporters, “(Strahm is) a year away from free agency. We were able to get a guy that we liked who has six years of (club control) and we think can help us right away.  » Read More

Back to the Cincinnati Bengals Newsfeed The Cincinnati Bengals have a delicate balance to strike over the final few games, beginning with Week 16's showdown in Miami against the Dolphins. Now that the playoffs are officially out of reach, the Bengals are in evaluation mode with veterans and young players, and are also trying to get to the end-of-season clubhouse with their most critical players intact. That's already proving more difficult than is optimal. Joe Burrow popped up on the injury report with a knee injury. Tee Higgins is still working through the concussion protocol after suffering two head injuries in recent weeks.  » Read More
