Rockies Journal: German Marquez’s contract a win-win — if right-hander produces

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:48:58 GMT

German Marquez wanted to stay with the Rockies. That became clear in the weeks and months following his Tommy John surgery in May.The jovial right-hander was in the clubhouse nearly every day, joking with his teammates, and being a part of things, even though his right arm was in a brace.So I was not at all surprised that Marquez and the Rockies agreed to a two-year contract extension on Friday. Neither was manager Bud Black.“I think we know each other, right?” Black told reporters before Friday night’s game in San Francisco. “We know German and German knows this organization. He feels a strong loyalty, and I think it speaks volumes that German wants to be part of this moving forward.“He wants to be part of the solution for us to turn it around and get to where we want to be.”Marquez and Black have a very special relationship and I’m certain that played a role in Marquez’s decision.But the contract’s $20 million price tag, with a chance for millio...

Nicolas Pepe leaves Arsenal after club terminates contract and is set for Trabzonspor

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:48:58 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Arsenal terminated the contract of former club-record signing Nicolas Pepe on Saturday, letting the winger leave on a free transfer. Arsenal paid 72 million pounds ($90 million) to sign Pepe from French club Lille in 2019 but will get nothing for his departure, with the Ivory Coast international reportedly set to sign for Turkish side Trabzonspor. Pepe had a good start at Arsenal under former manager Unai Emery but struggled to fit in after Mikel Arteta took over, and has not started a Premier League game since October 2021. He was sent to Nice on loan last season. He had one year remaining on his contract, but Arsenal opted to let him go instead of using him as a backup to Bukayo Saka at the Emirates. “Everyone at Arsenal thanks Nicolas for his contribution during his time with us and we wish him well for the future,” the London club said in a statement. ___AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerSource

El origen de la arepa: ¿es colombiana o venezolana? (Y por qué esto es lo que menos importa)

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:48:58 GMT

(CNN Español) — Ni colombianas ni venezolanas. Las arepas son americanas.La discusión que por tanto tiempo ha enfrentado a colombianos y venezolanos sobre el origen de las arepas, uno de sus más adorados y tradicionales platillos, para algunos expertos puede considerarse innecesaria, incluso insulsa, teniendo en cuenta la importancia de este manjar en la cultura gastronómica de ambos países desde el periodo prehispánico hasta la actualidad.Si se quisiera rastrear un origen, es preciso primero identificar que las arepas están hechas de maíz, una planta indígena oriunda “de la América tropical”, según la Real Academia Española, y que es la base alimentaria del continente prehispánico, comparable al trigo en Europa y al arroz en Asia.Y si se quiere tener un significado detallado de la palabra, la etimología de arepa nos lleva a los indígenas cumanagotos que decían “erepa” para nombrar el maíz y que posteriormente derivó en “arepa”, según escrib...
