Sports in brief AP study projects average MLB salary tops $4M NEW YORK (AP) — Even before the first pitch of the 2015 season is thrown, an eye-popping baseball record will be set. The average salary when opening-day rosters are finalized Sunday will break the $4 million benchmark for the first time, according to a study of all major league contracts by The Associated Press. Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw tops players at $31 million and Los Angeles projects to open the season with a payroll at about $270 million, easily a record. “We’re enjoying a tremendously bountiful season in baseball,” said Toronto pitcher R.A. Dickey, the 2012 NL Cy Young Award winner with the New York Mets. Fueled by the largest twoyear growth in more than a decade, the average salary projects to be about $4.25 million, according to the AP study.
Report: Tiger Woods’ plane seen at Augusta AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — In the strongest indication that Tiger Woods might play the Masters, a newspaper reports that his private plane has been spotted at a local airport. The Augusta Chronicle reported Tuesday that a plane matching the tail number of his Gulfstream G5 was parked at the terminal for
private aircraft at Augusta Regional Airport. A spokesman for Woods didn’t immediately respond to an email from The Associated Press. Woods has not played since he withdrew at Torrey Pines in the first round on Feb. 5. He said a week later that his scores were not acceptable and that he wouldn’t return until his game was tournament ready.
Tennessee hires former Texas coach Rick Barnes KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Just two days after leaving Texas, Rick Barnes has landed at Tennessee. Tennessee Barnes announced the hiring Tuesday, calling Barnes an “elite basketball coach in every respect.” The agreement is for six years at $2.25 million annually. Barnes succeeds Donnie Tyndall, who was fired Friday after one season amid an NCAA investigation of his two years at Southern Mississippi. “We are very, very fortunate today to have hired an elite basketball coach,” Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart said Tuesday at press conference to introduce Barnes. “That’s what Rick Barnes is. He is definitely an elite coach.”
NASCAR finds Newman’s team manipulated tires CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR levied harsh penalties against Ryan Newman’s race team Tuesday after determining Richard Childress Racing manipulated the tires NewNewman man used at Auto Club Speedway in California. There had been rampant speculation throughout the Sprint Cup garage that teams were drilling tiny holes in their tires to allow air to escape during a race. The process is known as “bleeding tires” and NASCAR last week at Martinsville Speedway warned crew chiefs about the penalties that would be levied against any team caught.
Alabama’s Jones arrested for pot possession TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Alabama running back Tyren Jones has been arrested on a marijuana charge, the third arrest of a Crimson Tide football player in four days. Jones was charged Tuesday with possession of marijuana 2nd degree and released on $1,000 bond, Tuscaloosa police said in a news release. Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban had suspended Jones indefinitely on Feb. 10 “for conduct not to the stan-
dard of the Alabama football program.” Safety Geno Smith and since-dismissed defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor were arrested on Saturday. Smith was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol for the second time in his Alabama career. Taylor, who had been dismissed from the Georgia team in July following a domestic violence arrest, now faces similar charges stemming from a separate incident in Tuscaloosa.
UConn’s Ollie won’t travel to Indy because of law HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — UConn men’s basketball coach Kevin Ollie will not be traveling to the Final Four this week, abiding by a travel ban ordered by Connecticut’s governor because Ollie of Indiana’s new religiousobjections law, the school announced Tuesday. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and other critics contend the law would allow businesses to deny service to gays and lesbians based on religious beliefs. The governor on Monday signed an executive order banning state spending on travel to Indiana. Malloy left the decision to travel to the Final Four up to Ollie and the university, which had already paid for.
Trumbo, Goldschmidt homer as D’backs beat Rangers
S C O T T SDA L E (A P) — M a rk T r u mbo a nd Pau l G oldsch midt homered, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to an 8-7 victory over a split-squad of Texas Rangers. Trumbo and Goldschmidt had three hits apiece, and Blake Lalli singled in the winning run in the ninth. Lalli is trying to make the team as a backup catcher. Trumbo played the whole game. “Anytime that you can
go more innings in spring, it’s a good thing,” he said. “It was nice to be able to get nine in and I was happy with the result, obviously.” Texas center fielder Delino DeShields had two hits, including a solo homer, and two R BIs, bolstering his case for a spot on the Rangers’ op eni ng- day roster. DeShields is 7 for 17 in his last four games. Nick Martinez, who was recently selected for the fifth spot in Texas’ rotation, was
charged with six earned runs in 4 1-3 innings. “I’m a pitcher that likes to establish his fastball,” Martinez said. “I ran into a team that was hunting for a lot of fastballs and ambushing fastballs and seeing the fastball well.” Di a mondb ack s st a r t er Chase A nderson labored through four innings, giving up six runs and 11 hits. Trevor Cahill then came in and struck out five in t wo s c o r e l e s s i n n i n g s .
Manager Chip Ha le was happy with what he saw from Cahill. “Electric sinker,” Hale said. “That’s what we’ve been seeing. We just need him to be consistent with it and trust it.” The Diamondbacks and catcher Gerald Laird agreed to a $100,000 retention bonus that gives the club an out clause for his contract by June 1. Laird is in the mix for the backup catcher role.

RIO RICO: No prohibition against Team USA programs FROM PAGE B1 rather than the Olympic team. However, AIA considers national teams part of the Olympic development process, said Charles Schmidt, AIA’s associate executive director. Playing at the national level was the girls’ “dream,” said Tony Bustamante, father of Bianca Castillo, a freshman pitcher for Rio Rico. “It’s a big opportunity for our girls and they took it. They took the chance,” he said, adding the AIA needs to look at their “outdated rules.” “I don’t think it’s fair that just because it’s Mexico we can’t play,” A riday Lopez said, noting other girls have played in the U.S. Olympic development program without disqualification. “It’s not fair that we’re losing a year.” Currently, one Lady Hawk soccer player is training in the U.S. Olympic development program without being disqualified from the high school team, Blanco said. “If you make an exception for some, why not for others?” said Hector Navarro, father of freshman right fielder Kayla Navarro. With U.S. programs, “we have the ability to see what they’re doing, how they operate, etc.,” Schmidt said, but the AIA cannot monitor training programs in other countries. When asked if the AIA had seen cases similar to the RRHS softball players before, Schmidt said: “This is the first one I’ve seen.” Students and parents can appeal the decision to the AIA Executive Board, he said. However, the RRHS parents said the appeals process could take months and wouldn’t help their daughters play in the current season. “It’s an unfortunate situation,” Blanco said. “I think it’s an opportunity for girls in our community to do something at the national level, whether it’s in the United States or another country.” “To me, it’s unfortunate timing,” said RRHS softball coach Ramon De La Ossa. “I understand why the girls and the families wanted to do it.”
