(AP) Carson Wentz has agreed to a one-year contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract hasn’t been announced. Wentz, the No. 2 overall pick in 2016, joins his fifth team in five years to back up three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes. He spent last season with the Rams and led Los Angeles to a victory in the final game in his only start. Blaine Gabbert backed up Mahomes in 2023 when the Chiefs won their second straight Super…
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Bobby Witt Jr. finished a double shy of the cycle, Kyle Isbel and Maikel Garcia hit back-to-back home runs, and the Kansas City Royals routed Minnesota 11-0 on Sunday to avoid a second straight season-opening sweep by the Twins. Salvador Perez hit a three-run homer and finished with four RBI, and Nelson Velázquez had the last of five homers for Kansas City, which gave Brady Singer (1-0) plenty of run support on a day in which he hardly needed it. Singer, trying to bounce back from a rough 2023, allowed three hits and a walk…

(AP) The AL Central doesn’t appear to be a great place to find baseball’s best teams. Instead, it might be home to some of the most improved. The division had a tough 2023, with the Twins running away with the title despite an 87-win season that wouldn’t have been good enough to win any other division in MLB. One year later, it’s still hard to look at the rosters and find an obvious 90-win squad in the bunch. Minnesota once again appears to be the class of the division despite losing a pair of front-line starting pitchers in Sonny Gray…
