To lure Juan Soto, Mets created a video of his statue outside Citi Field next to Tom Seaver's NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets wanted Juan Soto to know his future with them could be set in stone. When the free agent outfielder traveled to owner Steve Cohen’s house in Beverly Hills, California, for a presentation last month, the team showed a video that included an image of a future Soto statue outside Citi Field, next to the one erected of franchise great Tom Seaver. Soto put on a New York Mets jersey and cap for the first time Thursday after his record $765 million, 15-year contract was finalized and talked about what made the difference in his decision. Bill Belichick 'always wanted' to give college coaching a try. Now he will at North Carolina New North Carolina football coach Bill Belichick said he had long been interested in coaching in the college ranks. But it had never worked out until now, as he takes over the Tar Heels program. Belichick led the New England Patriots to six Super Bowl titles during a 24-year run there that ended last year. Belichick's five-year deal pays him $10 million in base and supplemental salary per year. It is guaranteed only for the first three years, including for buyout purposes. There is also up to $3.5 million in annual bonuses. Wander Franco's sex abuse trial has been postponed 5 months PUERTO PLATA, Dominican Republic (AP) — The trial against Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco, who has been charged with sexually abusing a minor, sexual and commercial exploitation against a minor, and human trafficking, has been postponed until June 2, 2025. Dominican judge Yacaira Veras postponed the hearing Thursday at the request of prosecutors because of the absence of several key witnesses in the case. Franco’s lawyers asked the court to reconsider the postponement, arguing Franco must report to spring training in mid-February. The judge replied that Franco is obligated to continue with the trial schedule and his conditional release from detainment. LeBron James ruled out of Lakers' game at Minnesota on Friday with foot soreness LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James has been ruled out of the Los Angeles Lakers’ game at Minnesota on Friday night due to soreness in his left foot. James will miss his second straight game when the Lakers return from a four-day break to face the Timberwolves. The top scorer in NBA history was away from the team this week with an excused absence attributed to “personal reasons,” coach JJ Redick said Wednesday. It’s unclear whether James will even make the quick round trip to Minnesota before the Lakers’ next game at home against Memphis on Sunday. Rape investigation that Swedish media say focused on Kylian Mbappé has been closed STOCKHOLM (AP) — Swedish prosecutors say they have dropped a rape investigation that was launched in connection with soccer star Kylian Mbappé’s visit to Stockholm in October. In a statement, lead investigator Marina Chirakova says there is not enough evidence to continue the investigation into the allegation at a hotel. Prosecutors never publicly named the suspect in the investigation but some Swedish media reported it was Mbappé. The Real Madrid striker visited Stockholm in October during a break in the Spanish league. At the time, Mbappé’s legal team dismissed those reports as false.

Lina al-Hathloul is a London-based activist whose sister was jailed in Saudi Arabia then banned from travel after campaigning to end a ban on women driving. When FIFA confirmed the kingdom as the 2034 tournament host on Wednesday its president Gianni Infantino acknowledged “the world will be watching” for positive social change.

Front Row and 23XI rejected NASCAR's new revenue sharing agreement and have gone to court. NASCAR now says it will move forward in 2025 with 32 chartered teams and eight open spots, with offers on charters for Front Row and 23XI rescinded and the SHR charters in limbo. Indian teen Gukesh Dommaraju becomes the youngest chess world champion after beating Chinese rival NEW DELHI (AP) — Indian teenager Gukesh Dommaraju has become the youngest chess world champion after beating the defending champion Ding Liren of China. Dommaraju, 18, secured 7.5 points against 6.5 of his Chinese rival in Thursday's game which was played in Singapore. He has surpassed the achievement of Russia’s Garry Kasparov who won the title at the age of 22. Dommaraju is now also the second Indian to win the title after five-time world chess champion Viswanathan Anand. The Indian teen prodigy has long been considered a rising star in the chess world after he became a chess grandmaster at 12. He had entered the match as the youngest-ever challenger to the world crown after winning the Candidates tournament earlier this year.

Already, Trump has asked Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his swearing in, his transition team confirmed Thursday, an exceptionally rare offer extended to the communist leader of one of America’s chief geopolitical rivals. “This is an example of President Trump creating an open dialogue with leaders of countries that are not just allies but our adversaries and our competitors, too,” Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said during an appearance Thursday on Fox News. A delegation of senior Chinese officials is expected to attend in place of Xi, according to two sources familiar with the matter. El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Argentinean President Javier Milei have also been invited by Trump or his team, sources confirmed to CNN. All three are close allies of Trump who have also shaken the nerves of the US and its allies at times for their embrace of strongman tactics and their far-right politics. The offers to attend his Washington fêting have been mostly informal, a person with knowledge of the conversations told CNN, and have sometimes come in passing during discussions over the phone about other matters. The person also said that some invitations have gone through back channels, not directly leader-to-leader. Trump has also dictated written invitations as well, a source familiar with the matter said, and had his team send them to foreign leaders. Trump’s transition team did not respond to questions about what other leaders he invited. On Thursday, the president-elect suggested he may invite other foreign leaders people told him may be “a little risky.” “We like to take little chances,” Trump said. “But that’s not a bad chance.” A new diplomatic era for America It is up to the president-elect and his team to determine which guests attend his inauguration, including any world leaders they may invite, one source familiar with the process told CNN. Generally, the bipartisan Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies and the State Department will reach out to diplomats to attend. The JCCIC has already begun sending invitations to every country’s chief of mission, as part of its typical protocol. It’s rare, however, for heads of state to make international visits to Washington for an inauguration, and it’s up to the discretion of the incoming president to make such asks, the source said. The outreach beyond America’s closest Western allies signals a new diplomatic era for the United States. In an interview with Time conducted in late November and published Thursday, Trump touched on his existing relationships with authoritarian leaders like North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and Russia’s Vladimir Putin – though he declined to say if he has spoken with Putin since winning in November. “I get along with Russia,” Trump told the news magazine, which also named him “Person of the Year” on Thursday. “I get along with a lot of people that people would think I wouldn’t get along with.” The invites to world leaders also speak to Trump’s early interest in reengaging with his foreign peers four years after he left Washington, DC, and the world stage defeated and diminished. In the weeks since completing his political comeback, Trump has spoken with leaders from around the globe and hosted several at his Palm Beach, Florida, club. On social media, he has already engaged in global affairs, threatening Mexico and Canada with 25% tariffs and calling for a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia. Trump told Time magazine he opposed a new US policy allowing Ukraine to fire long-range missiles into Russia. Trump also has an overseas trip under his belt: a visit to the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, an appearance that came at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron. Trump returned enamored by the pageantry – and also the high-profile attendance. While there, he also met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the United Kingdom’s Prince William and Meloni. “It was something really beautiful,” Trump said Thursday. “And a lot of world leaders, there were about 80 world leaders, different countries, and they were all coming together.” Trump’s desire for a ‘global stage’ in DC Now, he is looking to turn his inauguration into a similar must-attend affair. “Trump is very eager to have world leaders at the inauguration,” one Trump adviser told CNN. “He wants a global stage.” However, the freewheeling nature of Trump’s invites has made it difficult for even his closest aides to keep track of everyone who has and has not received an invitation to his second inauguration. It also poses additional security challenges for the United States Secret Service, which is mandated to protect all heads of state when they are on US soil. The US Capital Police is already tasked with protecting that day an incoming president who survived two assassination attempts over the summer, as well as the leaders of Congress, the Supreme Court, outgoing President Joe Biden and whichever past presidents attend. Xi is not expected, but it is not entirely clear yet which leaders intend to take Trump up on his offer. Bukele’s office confirmed receiving an invitation on behalf of Trump, however, it is unclear if the Salvadorian president plans on attending. In a recent interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Trump shared that he and Xi had communicated regularly since his election, even as he continues to threaten to launch a broad trade war with China after taking office. Asked earlier Thursday while on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange whether Xi had accepted his invitation, Trump said, “I don’t want to say,” and added that the two leaders had a “very good relationship.” “I’ve invited a lot of great people, and they’ve all accepted,” Trump said. “Everybody I’ve invited has accepted.” CNN’s David Culver and Kayla Tausche contributed to this report.
Couple in mortgage hell, hit hard by XmasThe Edmonton Oilers have been on a run of some quality hockey lately, but in a few critical matchups against some playoff opponents, their lack of toughness showed to be a need. Oilers insider Bob Stauffer has been hinting for a while now that Edmonton may add a bottom six forward with energy. Now, analyst Kurt Leavins is seconding that belief in his latest article in the Edmonton Journal , saying that Stan Bowman will be acquiring some grit via trade at the deadline this year. - Kurt Leavins, Edmonton Journal The Oilers bottom six got pushed around by some playoff opponents in Florida and Los Angeles, showing some weaknesses in the bottom six that other teams can exploit in a 7 game series. The skill of the Oilers superstars w can still lead them to a win, but every line needs to be at their best for a Stanley Cup team - and specifically the fourth line currently doesn't have an identity. Oilers Will Likely Target Physical Bottom Six Forward in Trade The Edmonton Oilers currently rank last place in hits, and aren't getting much from any of their fourth line players. Jeff Skinner seems to be on the way out, Derek Ryan is pushing his limits at 37 years old, and Corey Perry can't drive a line on his own. Evander Kane's return from injury may be a wild card for the team, but he alone may not be able to give the Oilers a physical edge. While the team may be targeting a defenceman and potentially a third goaltender, adding another bottom six forward may need to be a priority for Oilers GM Stan Bowman. In the grind through 4 best of seven series, playoff hockey becomes a battle of attrition. Being able to handle the physical side of the game is essential to compete in the playoffs, and the Oilers sorely need more of it.

DEAR RUSTY: I turned 64 in July and my wife turned 62 in August. My wife has not worked for approximately 15 years but does qualify for Social Security on her prior work record. My wife is having some physical issues and would like to not return to work. Since she is eligible to collect Social Security, that would be an option to provide additional income, so she doesn’t have to work. My question is how would it affect her future SS spousal benefits based on my record if she begins collecting her own benefit now? I plan to work until at least my full retirement age (67), and maybe longer, but plan to start collecting SS at 67 even I continue working. — Working Husband DEAR WORKING: If your wife has the required 40 SS quarter credits, she is eligible to collect reduced retirement benefits at 62 (for that needed extra income), but her age 62 benefit will be about 70% of what it would be if she waited until her SS full retirement age (FRA) to claim. That reduction would, in turn, carry over to her spousal benefit when you eventually claim your SS benefit. Here’s why: Your wife’s spousal amount when you claim will be a combination of her own SS retirement benefit, plus an auxiliary amount (a “spousal boost”) that she is entitled to as your spouse. At age 62, her own benefit will be cut by 30% and she can collect that reduced amount until you claim, at which point her spousal boost will be added to make her benefit equal her spousal entitlement. So, her total benefit as your spouse (when you claim) will consist of her reduced age-62 amount, plus an additional amount as your spouse. If you claim at 67, your wife will be about two years short of her own FRA, which means that her spousal boost amount will also be reduced for early claiming. That reduced spousal boost will be added to her already reduced (age 62) SS retirement benefit, which will make her total benefit less than 50% of your FRA benefit amount. So, your wife claiming her own reduced SS retirement benefit at 62 also means her spousal benefit amount will be affected, and taking her spousal boost before her FRA means that the boost amount will also be reduced for early claiming. The only way your wife can get the full 50% of your FRA entitlement is to wait until she reaches her own FRA (67) to claim Social Security benefits. Having said all of that, if your wife’s physical issues suggest that she claims her benefits early and she is comfortable with the smaller benefit she will get, then that may be the right choice. For reference, the reduction to your wife’s spousal boost amount (if you claim at your FRA) will be about 17%, and that reduced spousal boost will be added to her reduced age 62 SS retirement amount. The end benefit for your wife (if you claim at age 67) will likely be about 42% of your FRA entitlement (instead of 50%). FYI, you can further delay your own SS retirement benefit (up to age 70) for a higher benefit yourself, but that would also mean your wife would need to wait longer to get her spousal boost. You could also wait to claim your SS until your wife reaches age 67 (her FRA), which would give you a higher personal amount and also ensure your wife gets her maximum spousal boost (but her total will still be less than 50% of yours because she claimed her own SS retirement benefit at 62). When to claim Social Security depends on financial need and life expectancy. If a long life expectancy is anticipated, waiting longer to claim is often the best move. But financial need always trumps waiting longer. (Russell Gloor is the national Social Security advisor at the AMAC Foundation, the non-profit arm of the Association of Mature American Citizens.)

Georgia quarterback Carson Beck announced Saturday that he will forgo his final year of eligibility and enter the 2025 NFL Draft. Beck, 22, led the Southeastern Conference with 28 touchdown passes and finished third in the SEC with 3,485 passing yards. He also led the conference in interceptions, however. Beck will be a spectator for the Bulldogs in the College Football Playoff after undergoing surgery Monday to repair the ulnar collateral ligament in his right (throwing) elbow. Gunner Stockton is in line to guide No. 2 seed Georgia into the CFP, starting with the Bulldogs' quarterfinal game against No. 7 seed Notre Dame at the Sugar Bowl on Wednesday in New Orleans. "There's unfinished business still this season and I'll be here to support however I can, finish strong!" Beck said in a statement posted on social media. Beck, a fifth-year senior, finished with a 24-3 record in his career with Georgia. "The past five years at the University of Georgia have been nothing short of a dream come true and I will forever cherish the memories that have been made. Thank you Dawg Nation for the time I've been here and to those who've supported and believed in me, thank you," Beck wrote on social media. "It's been an incredible journey and all these moments have ultimately led me to take the next step in my football career. With that being said, I will be declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft. Go Dawgs!" Beck, the Bulldogs' starter all year, was replaced in the second half of the SEC title game with the injury. Stockton helped to guide the Bulldogs to a 22-19 overtime win over Texas and clinch a first-round bye in the first 12-team playoff. --Field Level Media
