CET Stanton, 25, took hime 537,000 USD last season, but his new contract will lift that to a staggering 25million USD annually – 154,321 USD for each of the 162 games which form a regular MLB season. 19/11/2014 American baseball side the Miami Marlins have reached a contract agreement with Giancarlo Stanton that makes Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo look underpaid.

Carrasco and Gimenez to miss Atletico’s game with Villarreal
Sport EN CET 15/02/2016 Villarreal’s visit to the Spanish capital promises to be an entertaining game. Carrasco was taken off on a stretcher in the second half after a challenge from Damian Suarez. They will also be without defender Jose Maria Gimenez, who picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in Sunday’s win over Getafe. However, he is also a doubt for next week’s Champions League clash with PSV and the Madrid derby the following Saturday. He will definitely miss the game at the Vicente Calderon with an ankle injury, therefore. Upd. at 18:35 Marcelino’s side are currently fourth in La Liga with 48 points, while Atletico are second with 54. Atletico Madrid have been dealt an injury blow with the news that Yannick Carrasco will miss this weekend’s game with Villarreal.
Two gifts that could hand Barcelona the title: Atletico & Madrid slip up
Atletico Madrid, like Real Madrid, can’t keep up with Barcelona’s rhythm. The Rojiblanco drew with Villarreal (0-0) on Sunday and are now eight points behind Luis Enrique’s side, a distance which you can technically add another point to due to the Catalan side’s head-to-head and goal difference advantage. 21/02/2016 Albert Masnou Atletico have only conceded 11 goals in their 25 games this season, although they have not been as efficient at the other end of the pitch. Madrid, for their part, also drew on Sunday. They were held by Malaga and are now nine points behind Barça. Los Blancos have struggled away from the Santiago Bernabeu this season and have only won once of their last four away games in the league (Granada). It’s been the perfect weekend for Barcelona. As well as the Madrid sides, the teams in fourth and fifth – Villarreal and Sevilla – also drew, leaving Barça 22 points clear of Sevilla. Upd. on 22/02/2016 at 14:28 CET In these circumstances, the question is obligatory: Is La Liga over already? It’s difficult to answer. In 2003-04, after 25 games as well, Madrid were eight points clear of Valencia, only for Los Che to win the title. However, given Barça’s performances in comparison to Atletico and Real, it seems unlikely will see such a drastic change in the table. In addition, the two capital city clubs meet each other next weekend at the Bernabeu and the loser will be left needing a miracle if they want to win the title. 
Zidane reveals he was ‘concerned’ by Real Madrid’s performance

CET Zidane admitted he was “concerned” by the performance and suggested an immediate improvement is necessary. The French coach also disputed claims that football is unfair, suggesting Madrid were still worthy winners against Las Palmas. 14/03/2016 “I don’t think football is unfair,” he continued, “we won the match because of two set-plays, which are part of football. Upd. at 13:57 “We got three points, but we will have to go over the game and analyse what happened because I am concerned about the second half. Zinedine Zidane admitted Real Madrid won’t win anything if they can’t improve on their performance away at Las Palmas on Sunday. Sport EN “If we want to win [a trophy], we will have to play better. If we don’t [play better], we will not go anywhere, but I’m convinced we can put on a better performance.” “I am happy with the win, but a little bit angry with the second half performance,” he said in his post-match press conference. “Las Palmas did well and put us in trouble with players who are good on the ball, but beyond that, it’s our performance which bothers me.”
Adidas store starts selling Dybala No 10 shirts… so Paul Pogba’s going
Paul Pogba is close to sealing his move to Manchester United and that much has been made clear in the Adidas shop in Paris. The sportswear company have started selling the new bianconera shirts and next to the No 9 of Gonzalo Higuain is the No 10… of Paulo Dybala. However, that was Pogba’s number last season.

If UEFA don’t punish PSG, Tebas will go to CAS and the EU

Powered by Firework IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook has been pulled from his fight on July 28. Issues with his conditioning in training seem to be the culprit.

Brandon Cook (20-1, 13 KOs), was the opponent which would have been his second fight after losing to Errol Spence.Advertisement It remains to be seen what Eddie Hearn has in store for Brook’s future. Of course, there is the everlasting rivalry with Amir Khan. However, Khan is currently scheduled to take on fringe contender Samuel Vargas in September.Then, of course, Brook has mentioned facing Errol Spence in a rematch at junior middleweight.

Charlo is coming off of a win against former WBA champion Austin Trout in June. This fight has the highest possibility of taking place over the aforementioned. Advertisement
