Elite Sharks prospect arriving in San Jose today, but one big question remains

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:30:59 GMT

SAN JOSE – Defenseman Shakir Mukhamadullin, one of the key players the Sharks acquired from the New Jersey Devils as part of last month’s Timo Meier trade, was set to arrive in the Bay Area from Russia on Thursday, although it remained unclear when he would play his first game with his new organization.Mukhamadullin, 21, was one of New Jersey’s three first-round draft choices in 2020 and just completed his season with Salavat Yulayev-Ufa of the KHL. He was eager to come to California and meet people inside his new organization, a team official said.The 6-foot-3, 195-pound Mukhamadullin had 25 points in 67 regular season games for Salavat Yulayev, which is coached by former Sharks player Viktor Kozlov. The team lost in the KHL’s conference quarterfinals as Mukhamadullin had a goal and an assist in the six-game playoff series.Sharks coach David Quinn said earlier this week he’s looking forward to meeting Mukhamadullin, already considered one of the Sharks’ top overall prospects.“I’ve ...

SF Giants: Cole Waites takes step forward, Mitch Haniger looking unlikely for Opening Day

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:30:59 GMT

PEORIA, Ariz. — With Opening Day two weeks away, it is looking less and less likely that the Giants’ highest-priced free-agent addition will be ready for the season. However, what could be the final piece of their bullpen is progressing toward possibly being good to go.Mitch Haniger, who was shut down last week with an oblique strain, will require another week or 10 days before the Giants evaluate his ability to return to baseball activity, manager Gabe Kapler said Thursday. A Bay Area native, Haniger signed a three-year, $43.5 million contract this offseason to join his childhood club, but with his status still uncertain as the opener draws near, it is increasingly likely his Giants debut will have to wait.“He’s responded really well to the rehab process. I just don’t think we’ve had enough answers yet,” manager Gabe Kapler said. “We’re just going to gradually build him up. I don’t think there’s any rush to get him ready.”Haniger, 32, was limited to 57...

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- While the Bay Area is notorious for its sky-high housing costs, three Bay Area cities are actually among the top five U.S. metro areas that saw the biggest drop in year-over-year median home sale prices last week, according to a new report from Redfin. Out of 24 of the 50 most populous U.S. metro areas where median sales prices fell, San Jose was tops of the list with a -17.2% YoY decline. Coming in at number three was San Francisco with an -11% YoY decline. Oakland was fourth with -10.9 YoY decline.

Daily average mortgage rates fell 7% to about 6.5% over the weekend, following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Home prices in the U.S. also fell, dropping 1.8% YoY during the four week...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina’s “Freshies” are ready for one last dance.The Gamecocks’ incomparable quintet of players — led by All-American Aliyah Boston and leading scorer Zia Cooke — arrived to enormous promise in 2019-20 and have more than lived up to those expectations with three regular-season Southeastern Conference titles, three league tournament crowns, two Final Fours and last year’s national championship.“I think we’ve build such a great bond, ‘The Freshies’ group,” Boston said Thursday. “To be on the last go-round with them, it’s just, like, super fun.”Undefeated South Carolina (32-0) will start defending its NCAA crown Friday against No. 16 seed Norfolk State (26-6).

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — New York Mets closer Edwin Díaz has a torn patellar tendon and is expected to miss the entire season after hurting his right knee while celebrating a victory in the World Baseball Classic.Mets general manager Billy Eppler said Díaz would undergo surgery Thursday. Without going into specifics, Eppler said a general timeline for recovery from this type of injury is about eight months.“There are instances where athletes have come back earlier, more around the six-month mark,” Eppler told reporters. “But those are a little bit more of the exception than the rule.”Díaz, who turns 29 next week, retired the side in order in the ninth inning of a 5-2 victory over the Dominican Republic on Wednesday night that sent Puerto Rico to the World Baseball Classic quarterfinals. As Díaz and his teammates jumped together in the infield, the right-hander collapsed and reached for his right leg. He was taken off the field in a wheelchair.“Edwin Díaz is a great human being an...
