NCAAFB – Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio retiring after 13 seasons
Michigan State football coach Mark Dantonio is retiring after a 13-year run. Defensive coordinator Mike Tressel will be the acting head coach while Michigan State seeks a replacement. Dantonio went 114-57 as Michigan State’s coach. He won Big Ten titles in 2010, 2013 and 2015. The last of those three seasons included a trip to the College Football Playoff. The Spartans declined after that. They went 7-6 this past season.

Ohio State 61, Michigan 58 – Review in final minute lifts Ohio State past Michigan 61-58
Kyle Young made two free throws with 33.3 seconds remaining to give Ohio State the lead after a crucial replay review, and the Buckeyes held on for a 61-58 victory over Michigan. The game turned after officials went to the monitor with just over a half-minute left. Ohio State was ahead 57-56 when Michigan’s Zavier Simpson drove to the basket and drew a foul on Young. The Ohio State forward’s jersey appeared to be ripped afterward, and a replay showed Simpson had gabbed the jersey while falling at the end of the play. The foul on Young stood, but officials added a flagrant foul on Simpson as well. That meant each player shot two free throws — they made all four — and the Buckeyes ended up with a one point lead and the ball.

Michael Flowers then made a pair for Western Michigan for a 62-59 lead. Isaiah Coleman-Lands was fouled and made the first of two and intentionally missed the second.

MLB – Bryant’s grievance denied
An arbitrator has denied the grievance filed by Chicago Cubs infielder Kris Bryant, according to a person who has read the unreleased document of the decision. Mark Irvings ruled the players’ association did not prove the team’s reasons for holding the third baseman in the minors at the start of the 2015 season were a pretext to push back his eligibility for free agency. Bryant hit .425 with nine homers in 40 at-bats during 2015 spring training and was held in the minors until April 17, one day after he would have been eligible for a full year of service time.
MLB – Betts goes to Dodgers in blockbuster swap
The Boston Red Sox have parted with Mookie Betts by sending him to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a blockbuster deal. Two people with knowledge of the deal say the Bosox have agreed to send the 2018 AL MVP to Los Angeles. The Red Sox would also send away left-hander David Price in a salary dump designed to save Boston tens of millions of dollars and help them dip below baseball’s luxury tax threshold. The Dodgers are sending outfielder Alex Verdugo back to the Red Sox in a deal that also involves the Minnesota Twins, who are getting right-hander Kenta Maeda from Los Angeles and sending pitching prospect Brusdar Graterol to Boston.
