Chicago Bears’ Jakeem Grant gets past Green Bay Packers’ Darnell Savage and
Adrian Amos for a touchdown reception on Dec. 12 in Green Bay, Wis. While awaiting
word from Deshaun Watson, the Browns addressed needs by agreeing Wednesday
to terms on contracts with free agent linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. and Pro Bowl
returner Grant, a person familiar with the deals told The Associated Press.

David Njoku and also have
Harrison Bryant under contract. Coach Kevin Stefanski favors multiple-tight end
formations, so it’s likely the
Browns will either sign or
draft another player at the
position.
On Tuesday, a contingent
from Cleveland ﬂew to Houston and visited Watson to
make a recruiting pitch to the
three-time Pro Bowl quarterback to possibly join the
Browns.
Watson didn’t play last season because of lawsuits from
22 women who have accused
him of sexual assault or harassment, and he still faces civil
lawsuits after a grand jury
declined to indict him last
week.

Hunter Greene
working toward
joining Reds rotation
By Theresa Smith
Associated Press

GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Hunter Greene is well
aware that the player he might be replacing in the
Cincinnati Reds’ starting rotation is also among
the players who helped put him in contention for
it.
While the right-handed rookie’s rise to the starting rotation appeared possible with the offseason
departure of Wade Miley to the Cubs, even more
opportunity arose with Sonny Gray’s trade to the
Twins on Sunday. Gray worked with Greene in the
offseason, sharing his approach to physical and
mental preparation.
“Anyone who has ever talked to Sonny knows
how detailed-oriented he is,” said Greene, who
was also assisted by Marcus Stroman of the Cubs.
Stroman reached out in 2017 when Greene was
drafted by the Reds in the ﬁrst round, the secondoverall pick out of Notre Dame High School in
Sherman Oaks, California. The pair stayed in
touch, but did not work out together until this
past offseason when Stroman was in the Los
Angeles area.
With veterans like Gray and Stroman preparing
him for the season, Greene feels like he belongs in
the big leagues.
“I used to walk by (the major league clubhouse)
and think about what it would be like to be in
there,’’ Greene said.
Greene’s velocity and skill set foretold a fast race
through the minor leagues, yet after throwing 68
1/3 innings in Low-A Dayton and posting a 4.48
ERA in 2018, a torn elbow ligament led to Tommy
John surgery. The subsequent rehabilitation cost
Greene the 2019 and 2020 seasons.
In 2021, the 6-foot-5, 230-pound Greene split
time between Double-A Chattanooga (41 innings,
1.98 ERA, 60 strikeouts and 14 walks) and TripleA Louisville (65 1/3 innings, 4.13 ERA, 79 strikeouts and 25 walks).
At both sites, Greene’s fast ball ranged between
99 and 102 mph.
“It’s the real deal,’’ said second-year catcher
Tyler Stephenson.
Stephenson, who looks forward to building a
rapport with Greene amid bullpens and clubhouse
conversations, was not the only one talking about
Greene being major-league ready.
“We’re all excited to see Hunter,’’ said Reds
manager David Bell. “He’s healthy, he had a full
season last year. We know what he’s capable of,
the kind of person he is, the kind of talent he is. I
believe he’s ready.’’
Regarding the effect of Gray’s departure, Bell
said, “I mean this creates even more of an opportunity for Hunter. Hunter just has to go out and be
himself and do his thing. All that will take care of
itself. We’re looking forward to seeing him pitch,
seeing where he is.’’

departure of Wade Miley to the Cubs and even more opportunity
has arisen with Sonny Gray’s recent trade to the Twins.

Boston Red Sox players warm up during spring training Wednesdsay at Jet Blue Park in Fort Myers, Fla.

MLB again affected by COVID in 2022
By Jake Seiner
AP Baseball Writer

TAMPA, Fla. — The
cardboard cutouts are
long gone. Same with
all that phony, pumpedin stadium noise. For
players, there’s no more
face masks in dugouts or
clubhouses. Far less spitting into testing cups,
too.
Yet, amid COVID-19
restrictions in Canada
and New York, one thing
has become clear over
the past week while baseball speeds toward the
2022 season:
“Life is not back to
normal yet,” Yankees
reliever Zack Britton
said Wednesday.
Fans of the Yankees
and Mets were shaken
Tuesday by conﬁrmation
from New York City that
the same private employer vaccine mandate that
has sidelined NBA star
Kyrie Irving for Brooklyn
Nets’ home games would
also apply at the outdoor
baseball parks in the
Bronx and Queens.
That concern ratcheted to another level
after Yankees star Aaron
Judge took a hard sidestep when asked Tuesday
if he was vaccinated.
The Mets also could be
seriously affected. Last
year, they were among
six teams that did not
reach the 85% vaccination rate among on-ﬁeld
staff, including players,
necessary for relaxed
virus protocols under
Major League Baseball’s
health and safety plan.
Yankees chairman
Hal Steinbrenner said
Wednesday that team
president Randy Levine
is speaking with the city
about ﬁnding a solution

before opening day April
7.
New York City Mayor
Eric Adams said at a
news conference Wednesday that athletes were
not his top concern but
added that he would
work with MLB.
“We’re going to do an
analysis. Baseball season
is not tomorrow. It’s
not next week. We are
going to work this out.
We will ensure the safety
of New Yorkers without
continuing the spread of
COVID,” he said, adding
“but I’m not going to be
rushed in based on a season schedule.”
Britton, a member of
the players’ association’s
executive subcommittee,
said Wednesday that the
union was also in communication with government ofﬁcials and had
anticipated there might
be complications.
“We knew just because
the Irving stuff was
going on,” Britton told
The Associated Press. “I
think the indoor-outdoor
venue was maybe like
a little bit of a question mark on that. But I
think it was something
that we knew might be
something we needed to
tackle before the season
starts.”
“Hopefully logic prevails,” ﬁrst-year Mets ace
and fellow subcommittee
member Max Scherzer
told reporters.
The union and league
agreed as part of a new
labor contract settled last
week that unvaccinated
players won’t receive pay
or service time if they
miss games in Toronto
against the Blue Jays
due to Canada’s vaccine
requirement for entry.
The boarder issues have

led to speculation about
an unusual homeﬁeld
advantage for the Jays.
The Boston Red Sox
are better prepared for
that after several players
were vaccinated this offseason, including Xander
Bogaerts and Christian
Arroyo. The club failed
to reach 85% vaccination last year and was hit
hard by the virus late in
the season.
Ace left-hander Chris
Sale said Wednesday he
has chosen to remain
unvaccinated, but he’ll
miss Boston’s ﬁrst visit
to Toronto from April
25-28 anyway because of
a stress fracture in his rib
cage.
Much else about the
sport will take signiﬁcant
steps toward normalcy.
Under updated health
and safety protocols
announced Wednesday,
intake COVID-19 testing
remains, but after that,
players will only be tested when showing signs
or reporting symptoms.
Players and team personnel only have to wear
masks in clubhouses and
other indoor areas if
mandated by local regulations.
“I know it does help
guys’ mentality throughout the year, where they
can have family and they
can go see family,” Oakland Athletics pitcher
Daulton Jeffries said.
“Just to give them a little
bit of a break from the
baseball grind.”
DH upgrade
Kyle Schwarber agreed
to a four-year deal with
the Philadelphia Phillies
worth about $80 million,
a person familiar with
the negotiations told
The Associated Press.

The person spoke on
condition of anonymity
because the agreement
was subject to a successful physical.
A 29-year-old slugging
outﬁelder, Schwarber
split last season with
Washington and Boston.
He hit .266 with 32 home
runs and belted a grand
slam for the Red Sox in
the AL Championship
Series.
Schwarber also got
a few reps at ﬁrst base
with Boston, but he’s
most likely to be utilized
as a designated hitter for
the Phillies as the NL
adopts the DH.
From Far East to North Side
The Chicago Cubs and
star Japanese outﬁelder
Seiya Suzuki have agreed
to an $85-million, ﬁveyear deal, a person familiar with the situation
told the AP, speaking on
condition of anonymity
because the deal was
pending a physical.
The agreement signals
the Cubs hope to speed
up the rebuilding process
after breaking up their
2016 championship core
before last season’s trade
deadline.
The 27-year-old Suzuki
was a ﬁve-time All-Star
and Gold Glove winner
over nine seasons with
the Hiroshima Toyo
Carp of Japan’s Central
League. He batted .317
with 38 home runs and
88 RBIs in 132 games
last season and had
nearly as many walks
(87) as strikeouts (88).
He is a career .315 hitter
with 182 homers and 562
RBIs for Hiroshima.
Chicago will pay an
additional $14,625,000
as a posting fee to the
Carp.

WASHINGTON —
Second gentleman
Doug Emhoff has tested
positive for COVID19, the White House
announced Tuesday.
Vice President Kamala
Harris tested negative,
but is curtailing her
schedule as a result of
her husband’s positive
test.
Harris spokesperson
Sabrina Singh said
Harris would not participate in a planned
Equal Pay Day event
on Tuesday evening at
the White House with
President Joe Biden
“out of an abundance of
caution.”
Harris, in a tweet
Tuesday evening, said,
“Doug is doing ﬁne and
we are grateful to be
vaccinated and boosted.” She added, “I have
tested negative and will
continue to test.”
Biden and Harris
appeared together Tuesday afternoon and mingled with lawmakers at
an event marking the
signing of a $1.5 trillion
government funding
measure.
“He’s feeling very
well, I’m told,” Biden
said Tuesday evening at
the event, noting Harris
had to skip.
Harris and Emhoff
both received their
ﬁrst dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
weeks before taking
ofﬁce and their second
dose just days after
Inauguration Day in
2021. They received
booster shots in late
October.
Fully vaccinated and
boosted people have a
high degree of protection against serious
illness and death from
COVID-19, particularly
the most common and
highly transmissible
Omicron variant.

Zelenskyy pleads for more US help in speech to Congress
By Lisa Mascaro
and Aamer Madhani

bor? ... Remember September 11?” Zelenzkyy
asked. “Our countries
experience the same
every day right now.”
Biden, who said he
listened to Zelenskyy’s
speech at the White
House, did not directly
respond the the criticism
that the U.S. should be
doing more for the Ukrainians. But he said, “We
are united in our abhorrence of Putin’s depraved
onslaught, and we’re
going to continue to have
their backs as they ﬁght
for their freedom, their
democracy, their very
survival.”
Later, leaving an unrelated event, he declared
of Putin: “He’s a war
criminal.” — the sharpest condemnation yet
of Putin and Russian
actions by a U.S. ofﬁcial
since the invasion of
Ukraine.
While other world
leaders have used the
words, the White House
had been hesitant, saying
it was a legal term that
required research.

Biden noted that Russia had bombed hospitals
and held doctors hostage.
At the White Hose,
Biden described new
help he was already prepared to announce before
Zelenskyy’s speech. He
said the U.S. will be
sending an additional
$800 million in military
assistance, making a
total of $2 billion in such
aid ince he took ofﬁce
more than a year ago.
About $1 billion in aid
has been sent in the past
week. Biden said the
new assistance includes
800 Stinger anti-aircraft
systems, 100 grenade
launchers, 20 million
rounds of small arms
ammunition and grenade
launchers and mortar
rounds and an unspeciﬁed number of drones.
“We’re going to give
Ukraine the arms to ﬁght
and defend themselves
through all the difﬁcult
days ahead,” Biden said.
Zelenskyy, in his
Capitol livestream from
Kyiv, showed the packed
auditorium of lawmak-

ers a graphic video of
the destruction and
devastation his country
has suffered in the war,
along with heartbreaking
scenes of civilian casualties.
“We need you right
now,” Zelenskyy said. “I
call on you to do more.”
Lawmakers gave him
a standing ovation,
before and after his short
remarks, which Zelenskyy began in Ukrainian
through an interpreter
but then switched to English in a heartfelt appeal
to help end the bloodshed.
“I see no sense in life
if it cannot stop the
deaths,” he said.
Nearing the threeweek mark in an everescalating war, Zelenskyy
has used the global stage
to implore allied leaders
to help stop the Russian
invasion of his country.

from history, giving
weight to what have

and by how much. After
a short discussion, the

During the discussion,

also said within the

Woodall said the

as soon as possible. He
said he received a lot

WASHINGTON —
Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
summoned the memory
of Pearl Harbor and the
Sept. 11 terror attacks
Wednesday in an impassioned video plea to Congress to send more help
for Ukraine’s ﬁght against
Russia. Lawmakers
stood and cheered, and
President Joe Biden later
announced the U.S. is
sending more anti-aircraft
and anti-armor weapons
and drones.
Biden also declared
Russian President
Vladimir Putin is a war
criminal, the day after
the Senate unanimously
asked an international
investigation of Putin for
war crimes in Ukraine.
In a moment of high
drama at the Capitol, Zelenskyy livestreamed his
speech to a rapt audience
of lawmakers on a giant
screen, acknowledging
from the start that the

Biden has resisted that,
as well as approval for
the U.S. or NATO to send
MiG ﬁghter jets from
Poland as risking wider
war with nuclear-armed
Putin.
Instead, Zelenskyy
pleaded for other military

Embattled Federal
Reserve pick Raskin
withdraws nomination
Associated Press

WASHINGTON —
Sarah Bloom Raskin
withdrew her nomination Tuesday to a
position on the Federal
Reserve’s Board of Governors after a key Democrat had joined with
all Senate Republicans
to oppose her conﬁrmation.
West Virginia Sen.
Joe Manchin announced
Monday that he
opposed Raskin’s conﬁrmation, and all Republicans in the evenly-split
50-50 Senate had indicated that they planned
to block her nomination
for the position of the
Fed’s top banking regulator.
Republicans have
argued that Raskin
would use the Fed’s
regulatory authority to
discourage banks from
lending to oil and gas
companies. Democrats,
as well as many banking
executives, countered
that Raskin’s views
aren’t out of the mainstream and said she
simply wants the Fed to
consider the risks that
climate change poses
to banks, insurance
companies and other
ﬁnancial ﬁrms.
President Joe Biden,
who nominated Raskin
in January, said she had
“unparalleled experience” in areas like
cybersecurity, climate
change, and consumer
protection.
The president asserted in a statement that
“Sarah was subject to
baseless attacks from
industry and conservative interest groups.”
White House press
secretary Jen Psaki
had reiterated Tuesday
that Raskin had Biden’s
“strong support.”
Raskin’s nomination
had been stuck in the
Senate Banking Committee after Republicans

last month unanimously
refused to vote on it in
an effort to prevent her
being approved on a
party-line vote.
Sen. Pat Toomey
from Pennsylvania, the
senior Republican on
the committee, also
charged that Raskin
inappropriately used
her connections with
the Fed to beneﬁt a Colorado ﬁnancial technology company, Reserve
Trust.
Raskin joined Reserve
Trust in January 2017,
after the ﬁrm had
applied for a “master
account” at the Fed,
which would enable it
to quickly transfer large
sums of money without
going through a bank.
Reserve Trust’s application was turned down
in mid-2017.
But the company
reapplied and won
approval the next
year from the Federal
Reserve Bank of Kansas City. Raskin had
contacted the Kansas
City Fed in 2017 after
the company’s application had been denied.
The Kansas City Fed
said it had approved
Reserve Trust’s second
application because the
company changed its
business model.
Raskin denied that
she had taken any inappropriate action. But
Toomey complained
that she did not sufﬁciently respond to
committee Republicans’
questions on the matter.
In her letter to Biden
withdrawing from
consideration, Raskin
wrote, “It was — and is
— my considered view
that the perils of climate
change must be added
to the list of serious
risks that the Federal
Reserve considers as
it works to ensure the
stability and resiliency
of our economy and
ﬁnancial system.”

Lucas also was the
keynote speaker at this
year’s Gallia County
Chamber of Commerce
dinner and awards and,
as noted previously in
this story, will return
to Gallia County this
Sunday with remarks at
10:25 a.m. at the church
located at 1723 State
Route 141, Gallipolis.

Wearing his now trademark army green T-shirt,
Zelinskyy began the
remarks to “Americans,
friends” by invoking the
destruction the U.S. suffered in 1941 when Japan
bombed the naval base at
Pearl Harbor in Hawaii,
and the 2001 attacks on
the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon by militants who commandeered
passenger airplanes to
crash into the symbols of
Western democracy and
economy.
