“I don’t know how much I’ve got,” he told Prior through his interpreter, Yoshihiro Sonoda, “but I can give you something. All I need is to be given enough time to warm up.” Verducci going long on Yamamoto, Rojas, Smith and the Dodgers:

Can confirm the WNBA and the WNBPA have agreed to a 30-day extension as they work towards a new collective bargaining agreement. The new deadline will be Nov. 30. The 30-day extension was initially offered by the league, as reported earlier this week
