Hannah Levitt, Katanga Johnson, Gillian Tan and Katherine Doherty(Bloomberg) — US regulators were rushing to resolve the First Republic Bank crisis Sunday after a midday deadline passed for submitting final bids to take over the struggling lender.The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. had asked banks including JPMorgan Chase & Co., PNC Financial Services Group Inc., and Citizens Financial Group Inc. to submit offers, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Bank of America Corp. and US Bancorp were also invited but decided against bidding, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential talks. If no agreement is reached, regulators would have the option of seizing First Republic and taking ownership of the bank. Spokespeople for JPMorgan, PNC, Citizens Financial, US Bancorp, Bank of America and the FDIC declined to comment. The bidding process kick-started by regulators — after weeks of fruitless talks among banks ...

Yankees still unsure whether Judge will go on injured list

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:36:19 GMT

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Yankees captain Aaron Judge missed his third straight game with a mild hip strain, and New York won’t decide until Monday at the earliest whether he will go on the injured list.“I know he came in feeling a little bit better today,” manager Aaron Boone said before Sunday’s series finale at Texas. “I’m sure he’ll go through everything and we’ll evaluate where we are.” Boone didn’t expect Judge to return to the lineup on Monday, when the Yankees open a three-game home series against Cleveland. Boone said the best-case scenario has Judge returning sometime during the three-game series against the Guardians.Judge, the reigning AL MVP, hasn’t played since he was replaced in the fourth inning of Thursday’s series opener against the Rangers after striking out twice. A day earlier, he landed awkwardly on his right side when trying to steal third base at Minnesota on his 31st birthday.After hitting an AL-record 62 home runs last season, Judge is...

Joel Embiid’s status is in doubt, but Celtics not overlooking 76ers as series begins

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:36:19 GMT

On paper, the Celtics got a break to open their second-round matchup against the 76ers. Joel Embiid is doubtful for Monday night’s Game 1, and the MVP frontrunner’s status for the rest of the series is in question.But if there’s anything the Celtics should have learned from their first-round victory over the Hawks – which went at least one game longer than it should have – it’s that they can’t take any opponent for granted.The C’s seem to be taking this opponent seriously even without its star, who suffered a knee injury in the first round against Brooklyn.“We respect them with or without Joel,” Malcolm Brogdon said. “They’re a really good team, so we’re gonna come out and play good basketball. …“They’re a really good team without him as well on both sides of the ball. Without him, defensively, I think everybody guards a little bit better. They don’t have a 7-1 guy at the rim. Offensively I think the ball moves more and everybody is more aggressive and more confident.”The 76ers went...

Sale spins gem as Red Sox beat Guardians 7-1 on rainy afternoon

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 08:36:19 GMT

It may not have been another walk-off officially, but in the moment it sure felt like it.A day after sending them home happy with his second walk-off winner of the season, Alex Verdugo came through again with what turned out to be the game-winning two-run single in the bottom of the fifth. That broke a scoreless tie, and with the game now official and a steady rain already falling it gave the Red Sox the breathing room they needed if the game was eventually called due to weather.That call didn’t wind up coming, but despite the soggy conditions the Red Sox still made sure the lead held up in the 7-1 win.Though Verdugo delivered the big hit, Chris Sale was the one who really won Boston the game. The big lefty shook off last Monday’s lackluster outing in Baltimore and was much sharper, allowing just one run over a season-high 6.1 innings with three hits, no walks and five strikeouts.Along the way Sale pitched his way out of two jams, first working around a Rafael Devers err...
