Ibanez signs

with Dodgers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Versatile infielder Andy Ibáñez and the Los Angeles Dodgers finalized a $1.2 million, one-year contract on Tuesday.

The 32-year-old Cuban hit .239 with four homers and 21 RBIs in 91 games for Detroit last season, then became a free agent in November when the Tigers failed to offer a 2026 contract.

In three seasons with Detroit, Ibáñez played six defensive positions and hit .251 with 20 homers and 94 RBIs in 304 games.

He began his big league career with the Texas Rangers in 2021 after signing in 2015. He has a .254 career average with 28 homers and 128 RBIs in 420 games.

Cards deal

3B Arenado

PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired eight-time All-Star third baseman Nolan Arenado from St. Louis for minor league pitcher Jack Martinez in a trade in which the Cardinals also are including $31 million.

A 10-time Gold Glove winner, Arenado has played for the Cardinals the past five seasons and was shopped extensively after the 2024 season by a rebuilding team. The 34-year-old isn’t the offensive force he used to be but will still provide a veteran presence at the position after the D-backs traded slugger Eugenio Suárez at last season’s trade deadline.

Arenado batted .237 with 12 homers and 52 RBIs last season.

Chloe Kim

‘good to go’

(AP) — Snowboarder Chloe Kim says she’s “good to go” for the Milan Cortina Olympics despite tearing the labrum in her shoulder during a training run last week in Switzerland.

The two-time gold medalist in the halfpipe posted an update to Instagram, saying she wasn’t surprised to learn she had torn the area that holds her shoulder together. She says she’s upset that she won’t be able to snowboard again until just before the Winter Games, but that she’ll be in Italy going for her third straight Olympic title.

Koepka back

on PGA Tour

HONOLULU (AP) — The decision by the PGA Tour to allow Brooks Koepka to return from LIV Golf should have surprised no one. From the time Brian Rolapp took over as CEO, he’s made it clear his priority was to strengthen the PGA Tour.

Whether Koepka does that depends on his performance. But the tour is better off with him playing than leaving him on the sideline. Koepka’s performance will be tied to the size of the financial repercussions he faces.

Rolapp says there’s no promise of a path for other LIV players to return. That depends on whether they can help the tour.
