In Arlington, the off-season opened with three departures. MLB.com, ESPN and the Associated Press all report that Joc Pederson, Kyle Higashioka and Jakob Junis are free agents after their mutual options were not exercised.

By Nolan Frost , RF Sports Radio Stars voice Stars fans, a win is a win, and after two ugly losses this team needed one badly.

By Danielle "Dee" Ortiz , RF Sports Radio WNBA voice Hoops fans, I told you Game 7 would come down to who owned the pace, and Golden State owned it when it mattered.
