SAN DIEGO -- London is not calling for Major League Baseball next year.The players association says MLB has given up plans to play regular-season games in the English capital in 2017.Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said in January that his staff was working hard at playing in London, and MLB officials looked at the renovated Olympic Stadium as a possible venue.There was discussion about London early on, union head Tony Clark said Monday. Unfortunately there were a number of moving pieces related to London that shortened our window in an effort to try to find common ground on that happening, and we werent able to get it done in time.Clark also was noncommittal about having players on 25-man active rosters made available for the 2020 Olympics, which will be held in Tokyo from July 24 to Aug. 9. The International Olympic Committee executive board voted last month to support a six-nation tournament that year in both baseball and womens softball, and the full IOC is to vote in August.Baseball became a medal sport for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics but was dropped for the 2012 London Games and wont be played this year in Rio de Janeiro. In 2008, only those not on 25-man big league rosters as of late June were allowed to compete; the U.S. team included Jake Arrieta and Stephen Strasburg -- both All-Stars this year.Is there an appreciation for the value of having baseball in the Olympics? Yes, there is, Clark said. Is there an appreciation for the season and how or if it could work with our active players? Yeah, theres a conversation, but we run into the same roadblocks we always have. Phillies Jerseys 2019 .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal.

Deshaun Watson picked the right time to rediscover last seasons Heisman Trophy-finalist form in a win over No. 7 Louisville on Saturday night.The Clemson quarterback, after struggling -- relatively -- through the first four games of the season, set season highs in passing yards (306), rushing yards (91) and total offense (397) in the 42-36 victory for the No. 3 Tigers .Watson finished third in last years Heisman Trophy voting and entered this season as one of the favorites.That was before Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson stormed to the national forefront of the Heisman race with 25 total touchdowns through the Cardinals first four games.Jackson added to his touchdown total with three more (one passing, two rushing) on Saturday night, but Watson showed the country that sometimes old reliable is every bit as good -- or better- as the new kid on the block.And he did so while overcoming three interceptions and helping Clemson recover after losing an 18-point lead.I cant even begin to describe it, Watson said.

Mullens broke Austin Davis previous school best of 461 yards, and the fourrth-year starter now has 76 touchdown passes in his career.ddddddddddddSTAGGERING STAGGERS: Mullens had plenty of help on the receiving end of his career night, most notably from junior wide receiver Allenzae Staggers -- who had 292 yards receiving on six catches. Staggers, a junior college transfer in his first season with the Golden Eagles, had touchdown receptions of 75, 81 and 93 yards in the victory and topped the previous school-best of 260 yards set by Kendrick Lee in 1996.WILLIAMS RESURGENCE: Jamall Williams has topped the 1,000-yard rushing mark in a season before, having done so two years ago for BYU. The senior is already closing in on that mark after a career-high 286-yard rushing performance in a 55-53 win over Toledo on Friday night. Williams also ran for a school-record five touchdowns in the win, and hes now second nationally with 703 yards rushing for the season.PASSING FANCY: Texas Tech long ago turned the forward pass into a way of life, but even this is getting out of hand for the high-flying Air Raid offense. After a 55-19 win over Kansas on Thursday night, the Red Raiders are now averaging 547.8 yards per game through the air -- tops in the country and nearly 120 yards per game ahead of second-place Cal.RIGHT PRICE: Pittsburgh defensive lineman Ejuan Price was already one of the top defensive players in the Atlantic Coast Conference a year ago, finishing with 11 + sacks last season. The senior has picked right up where he left off this season, leading the country with 7 + sacks through five games after two sacks in a win over Marshall on Saturday. ' ' '
