NL West Update: Sandoval, Black, Grichuk, and the Dodgers
Pablo Sandoval’s Future with the Giants
When Pablo Sandoval, a veteran infielder, inked a non-roster deal with the Giants recently, it wasn’t seen as a farewell gesture to his illustrious career like Sergio Romo’s deal before retirement. Sandoval aimed to use this opportunity as a pathway back to the majors. However, his lackluster performance in spring training games, hitting .250/.323/.250 in 16 games, casts doubt on his immediate return. Despite this setback, Sandoval remains determined to continue playing and has expressed his willingness to join the Giants’ Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento if he doesn’t make the major league roster.

Shin Tae-yong says naturalized players make the Indonesian national team stronger
Jakarta –
Indonesian national team coach Shin Tae-yong recognized the role of naturalized players in improving the quality of the national team. He said that the presence of naturalized players gave a new color and added strength to the Garuda team.
“Having naturalized players makes us even stronger,” Shin said in a written statement, Thursday (3/28/2024).
After winning 1-0 in the match against Vietnam at Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), Shin admitted he was worried about the conditions of his team’s children. The reason is that 10 players are sick, which obviously has a great impact on the condition of the national team before the home visit of Vietnam.
“After the end of the match between Indonesia and Vietnam, there were 10 players who were sick, so I suspect this second match will be difficult,” he said.
Shin is grateful that the naturalization program carried out under the leadership of Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) president general Erick Thohir has managed to erase his concerns. This gives him more space to fill the squad with the qualities of other naturalized players.
“With naturalized players joining, we can choose more freely than before,” he added.
In addition to increasing the strength of th

De Ligt Warns Against Shaking Kim Min-jae Amid Transfer Rumors and International Speculation
Even the ‘rival’ Matthijs de Ligt (24) came out and warned him not to shake Kim Min-jae (28, Bayern Munich).
According to the foreign news outlet ‘Bissaker’ on the 28th (Korea time), De Ligt, who was selected for the Dutch national team, said in an interview with ‘Sky Sports’ after playing the March A match against Germany, “(It then There were many transfer rumors, but I decided to move to Munich. “I have no plans to leave,” he said. “The same goes for Kim Min-jae’s current situation. He hasn’t said anything, but there are reports comes out to hand it in. “This is a problem,” he said.
Kim Min-jae, unlike Eric Dier, who was a ‘built-in starter’ until the middle of this season, not only became a back-to-back, but was also involved in ‘transfer rumours’.
Kim Min-jae, who was excluded from the starting lineup for the UEFA Champions League round of 16 seconds against SS Lazio (3-0 win) on the 6th, did not play in the end. In the Bundesliga match between Mainz and Mainz which took place on the 9th, he was replaced by Dier in the 30th minute of the second half and barely had a chance to play. However, Kim Min-jae warmed the bench again in the match against Darmstadt against Darmstadt in the 26th round in the Bundesliga on the 16th. Afterwards, he joined Hwang Seon-hong to participate in the Korean international game in March.

Mohammad Kaif Claims BCCI Altered World Cup Final Pitch to Benefit India, ICC Consultant Sacked
Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif said that the ODI World Cup final pitch at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium suited the host Indian team.
The curators of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also made serious allegations of slowing down the pitch to suit the Indian team.
On November 19, India suffered a heartbreaking defeat against Australia on the pitch in Ahmedabad. In the final, there was a batting collapse of the Indian team. The team lost the match by 6 wickets. India lost the toss and scored only 240 runs. Australia overcame this in 43 overs on the back of Travis Head’s smashing century.

Kaif also argued that the Indian team was confused by Pat Cummins’ strategy.

Vácha about Krejčí: Still a leader. I perceive working in the representation positively
2024-03-27 19:59:49
From February 10, Krejčí jumped into eleven competitive matches. In Sparta’s jersey, he completed a duel against Galatasaray and a double-header with Liverpool. Yes, he was not always, to put it mildly, 100% successful. In Pilsen, he was sent off after two fouls on Tomáš Choré.
As expected, the invitation to the national team from the new coach Ivan Hašek did not pass him by. Krejci played 60 minutes in Friday’s duel in Norway and got a full load on Tuesday at home against Armenia. At Letná, he scored an important goal to make it 1:1, but at the same time, he did not look completely confident in all moments.
“Láďa still seems to me to be the leader and captain of Sparta, so I perceive his position. I can’t go into much more analysis, but I would look at everything through the lens of the fact that he recently started twice against one of the top five clubs in the world. Even the best Premier League defenders have problems with Liverpool players. I also think that the 90 minutes in the match against Armenia did not add much to the demanding program that he completed in the current season,” Vácha, a former Sparta midfielder or an assistant in the Letenské reserves, describes to Sport.cz.
In Norway, Krejčí jumped to the number six position next to captain Tomáš Souček. With Armenia, he stood, as he is used to from Sparta under Brian Prisk, on the left side of the stopper trio.
“I know I’m talking after the battle, and the trainer has to know everything before it. But lately I have a problem with Krejci. I observe that it has a lot of shortcomings for a top European level. He made a lot of mistakes and it’s fatal in the position he plays. He is very valid and effective in standard situations, especially offensive ones, but he is literally looking for a post in the national team. And I wouldn’t do that. The other stoppers who were in the nomination are currently doing better than him,” assesses coach Vlastimil Palička.
Vácha’s view is slightly different. “I perceive Ládi Krejčí’s role in the national team very positively. During a few starts, he collected several goals scored, which is an absolutely essential thing in football,” points out Krejčí’s effectiveness (in this year, he scored nine goals across all competitions and added three assists, editor’s note).
Against Armenia, he scored at the end of the first half, somewhat traditionally for him, with a header after a corner kick. However, he wasn’t always 100 percent when defending or building the game, which is why criticism poured down on him (and not only) via social networks.
“He is definitely not a worse footballer than a few months ago. On the field, they perform their tasks extremely well. The criticism leveled at him now could have both a positive and a negative impact on how he plays going forward. He must be able to
