The unidentified man reversed his car into The Friendly Temple Baptist Church in north St. Louis around 9:30 a.m., before entering the building and going berserk. The man had cast his vote at the same location only minutes before he returned. “He just went on a rampage then,” said Gary Stoff, Republican director of the St. Louis Board of Election Commissioners to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “We don’t know what set it off....

The three-star defensive end did not sign a letter of intent with the Tigers on National Signing Day on Wednesday because he has been in the Dallas County jail in Texas since Jan. 25.

McConnell sent an email to colleagues Saturday saying he will vote to acquit Trump, according to two sources which relayed his position to the Associated Press and Politico. His message to colleagues said it was a “close call,” but impeachment is “primarily a tool of removal” and the Senate doesn’t have jurisdiction in this trial. McConnell sought to clarify that the Constitution “makes perfectly clear that Presidential criminal misconduct while in office can be prosecuted after the President has left office....

The Mizzou head coach was reportedly on his way to Illinois for a quick recruiting jaunt when an engine on his chartered flight failed and forced the pilot to make an emergency landing.

The Armenia international was acquired by the Red Devils in 2016 amid much excitement, with his exploits at Borussia Dortmund suggesting that he could be a key creative cog. Flashes of brilliance and the odd flurry of assists proved what he was capable of, but Jose Mourinho was quick to drop him when his standards started to dip. As a result, the opportunity to form part of a swap deal with Alexis Sanchez was embraced during the winter transfer window, with Mkhitaryan continuing to focus on the future and not dwell on the past....

The lack of progress in negotiations as the two sides approach the league’s stated goal of having a deal in place by the end of February could put Opening Day in jeopardy, as Commissioner Rob Manfred said last week that the league’s goal is to hold four weeks of spring training before the regular season is set to begin March 31. “We regret that, without a collective bargaining agreement in place, we must postpone the start of Spring Training games until no earlier than Saturday, March 5,” the statement read....

This year’s draft was originally set to undergo some serious changes, the primary change heading from MLB Network Studios in Secaucus, N.J. to Omaha, Neb., just a few days before the start of the College World Series....

A free agent, Drew, 30, rejected a one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer. He's seeking a multi-year contract, likely three or four years, through handler Scott Boras. Teams have been reluctant to reach an accord for Drew's services. While his defense and his regular-season hitting were good, his postseason plate performance was lousy. General managers would have to play hardball with Boras for a player they might see as overpriced. There are rational notions behind re-signing Drew, the Boston Herald notes....

The 28-year-old left-hander is off to a huge start in his walk year; he leads the National League with 48 strikeouts and is second in the majors to the Astros’ Gerrit Cole. He’s 4-0 with a 1.89 ERA in five starts. With that success has come speculation Corbin might fly east next winter after he becomes a free agent. He caused a stir this week when he told USA Today that he would “love” to pitch for the Yanks, the team he rooted for as a kid in Syracuse, N....

The announcement Tuesday that intentional walks will no longer require actual pitches being thrown is the latest miscue. Beginning this season, hitters will be told to “Take your base” or something to that effect when they get near the batter’s box. Just like that, they’ll make their way to first base. It’s all in the name of shaving seconds off the times of games, you know. And yes, we are talking seconds....
