Four members of Blue Jays earn 2021 All-MLB honours

Four members of the Toronto Blue Jays were named to a star-studded list of players comprising the 2021 All-MLB teams, an honour that recognizes excellence achieved over the full breadth of a big league season.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Marcus Semien and Robbie Ray were named to the First Team. Teoscar Hernandez was awarded a place on the Second Team.

The All-MLB teams are split into first and second teams, decided by voters charged with considering only regular season performance when casting their ballots. Fans accounted for 50 per cent of the voting, and a panel of experts handled the other 50 per cent.

Guerrero Jr., who was named the first base player for the All-MLB First Team, enjoyed a prolific campaign in which he tied Salvador Perez for the MLB home run title while leading the league in runs with 123.

Semien earned his place on the First Team with a record-setting season that saw him establish new highs for home runs by a second baseman.

Ray’s resurgent season saw him capture both the American League Cy Young award as well as his first-career All-MLB nod. He led the American League in ERA (2.84), innings (193 1/3), ERA+ (154) and WHIP (1.045) while leading all of MLB in strikeouts (248).

Hernandez secured a place on the Second Team, coming off a season in which he won a Silver Slugger and posted a slash line of .296/.346/.524, 32 home runs and 116 RBI.

Joining the members of the Blue Jays on the first team was Shohei Ohtani, the two-way wonder who dominated as both a pitcher and hitter, as the First Team designated hitter.

The selection marked the first time Ohtani had been named to an All-MLB team, a fitting honour after he became the first American League player to ever have at least 45 home runs, 25 stolen bases and 100 runs scored in a season. Ohtani was also named to the Second Team as a starting pitcher.

Canadians Abroad Roundup: Will Laryea be next Canadian in Premier League?

January was a transformative month for the Canadian men’s national team. Wins in Honduras and at home to the U.S. – coupled with the El Salvador road victory on Feb. 2 – all but guaranteed its qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Fans could start monitoring flights to Doha with relative comfort. An arguably superior development transpired that month, too. Nine Canadian-eligible players secured loans or permanent transfers to new clubs in the transfer window. Many of those moves were steps up in terms of the quality and size of the respective teams. For instance, Stephen Eustaquio joined Porto on loan with an option to buy from Pacos de Ferreira. Now he’s transitioned from mid-table obscurity to a league title and into the Champions League, provided reports are correct and he joins the Dragoes permanently. Ike Ugbo was loaned to Troyes in Ligue 1 from Genk, an admittedly big club in Belgium with a rich history. But moving to a top-five European league, especially to a club under t...

The outlook was faster than the 3.5-percent consumer price growth in December 2020 and the 2.9 percent a year earlier. The Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) will release official January inflation data on February 5. “Higher prices of fuel and meat, as well as increased Meralco (Manila Electric Co.) power rates and excise taxes on alcoholic beverages and tobacco, contributed to upward price pressures during the month,” Diokno said. Local oil companies hiked fuel prices three times this month. Price incr...

Signs Of Cervical Cancer All Woman Should Know

Cervical or cervix malignancy can be risky in women. Though the statistics of this disease are shocking, if diagnosed early it can be treated. Cervical malignancy is due to the highly infectious HPV or human papillomavirus.  It is sexually transmitted and exists in different forms. A HPV infection may disappear without treatment or develop to an abnormal cell development that could cause cervical cancer. 7 Signs of Cervical Cancer Continuous pain in the legs, hips or back The swelling in the cervix may compress other organs. This may make it difficult for blood flow in the veins and may prevent blood from reaching the pelvis and legs, thus pain and swelling in the legs. Abnormal discharge When the disease starts to develop in the cervix, the uterine divider cells begin to loosen hence a watery discharge. Pain or bleeding Cervical tumor may develop on the cervix’s dividers which can dry out and eventually burst, hence distress and rectal or bladder bleeding. ...
