SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred does not think Donald Trumps election as president will slow the sports plans to stage more events in Latin America.Expanding international play has been one of Manfreds goals since succeeding Bud Selig as commissioner in January 2015. San Diego and Houston played a two-game spring training series this year in Mexico City, where the sport opened an office last March and which Manfred has mentioned as a possible expansion site.Tampa Bay met Cubas national team in Havana on March 22, the first visit to the island by a big league baseball club since 1999. MLB hopes to establish a process that would allow Cuban residents to sign big league contracts.Havent heard anything with respect to the Cuba issue that would suggest that theres going to be any change, and I think were all familiar with things he said about Mexico, Manfred said Wednesday at the annual general managers meeting. I think we need to wait and see what actually happens.Team executives and agents discussing deals watched election coverage in shock Tuesday night in the Mbar off the central courtyard at the Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia, some with looks of anguish on their faces.Manfred opened his news conference by stating: Its been an interesting couple of weeks. Cubs won the World Series for the first time in 108 years. Donald Trump got elected president. Pretty interesting all the way around. So here we are. He then laughed.On other topics:COLLECTIVE BARGAININGDan Halem, baseballs chief legal officer, updated GMs on talks for a labor contract to replace the five-year deal that expires Dec. 1. Manfred had hoped for an agreement before the end of the World Series last week. Teams with high payrolls would like to know the level of the luxury-tax threshold, which was $189 million this year.Theres a couple of natural deadlines, Manfred said. One is the beginning of free agency and the other ones obviously the expiration date. Well, we missed deadline one, so were looking at deadline two now.JEURYS FAMILIAManfred said he anticipated it would take time for MLB to investigate New York Mets closer Jeurys Familia under its domestic violence policy. A complaint in municipal court in Fort Lee, New Jersey, dated Oct. 31 alleged the All-Star pitcher caused bodily injury to another. A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 14.I think that it is usually difficult for us to complete our investigation before the criminal process has run its course, Manfred said. We have the luxury of not being on the field right now, and were going to take advantage of that.2020 TOKYO OLYMPICSMLB has not yet spoken with the World Baseball Softball Confederation about the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Japanese baseball and Olympic officials would like major leaguers to participate, but MLB and its players are reluctant because the Olympics will be held from July 24 to Aug. 9.Weve had an exchange of letters, Weve asked them to come in and explain exactly what the program is going to look like in order to put us in a position to make a firm evaluation, Manfred said.ASTROS/CARDINALS INVESTIGATIONFormer Cardinals scouting director Christopher Correa was sentenced in July to 46 months in prison and ordered to pay $279,038 in restitution after pleading guilty to five counts of unauthorized access of a protected computer from 2013 to at least 2014. When he pleaded guilty in January, Correa maintained he found proprietary Cardinals information in the Astros database. Cardinals Chairman Bill DeWitt Jr. had blamed the hack on roguish behavior by a handful of individuals.If it were a 100-yard game, were in the final 10 yards of the St. Louis situation, Manfred said. The time has come to put this one behind us. I am anxious to do that.MEDICAL RECORDSFollowing the suspension of San Diego general manager A.J. Preller for 30 days without pay in September following an MLB investigation that concluded the Padres had withheld medical information from trade partners, requirements for sharing medical records will be enhanced.Preller was sanctioned after San Diego did not disclose records in a July deal that sent All-Star left-hander Drew Pomeranz to Boston. MLB and the union instituted an electronic medical records system in 2010.It was largely kind of left to a committee of athletic trainers to determine the types of records each club should maintain, how theyre maintained. Were going to formalize it a little more and are contemplating issuing firm guidance in terms of what has to be in, what has to be out, Halem said. I think this was coming irrespective of the issues we had this season. Jordan Lukaku Jersey .

NEW YORK -- UConn is back in a familiar spot, No. 1 in the poll.The Huskies passed Notre Dame for the top position in The Associated Press womens basketball poll Monday, barely edging the Irish by two points. The rivals will face each other on Wednesday in South Bend, Indiana.Both teams are undefeated and the Huskies are coming off a week in which they beat Top 25 teams DePaul and Texas. UConn has four victories over Top 25 opponents while Notre Dame has one.The Huskies (7-0) had been second in the poll behind the Irish (8-0) for the first few weeks of the season. UConn garnered 18 first-place votes from the 33-member national media panel and the Irish received the other 15. The Huskies ascension to No. 1 was bolstered by then-No. 3 South Carolina losing to Duke on Sunday.Its the first time since 2005 that a team lost its No. 1 ranking without losing a game. That year, second-ranked Tennessee passed Duke after Thanksgiving when the Lady Vols beat Michigan State and Maryland, who were in the top 10 at a Thanksgiving tournament.The Gamecocks fell to sixth with Baylor, Maryland and Mississippi State all moving up a spot.Duke came in at No. 21 withh South Florida a spot behind them.dddddddddddd Virginia Tech entered at No. 25, the Hokies first ranking since 2006.I am very happy for this team and every accomplishment that they have had in such a short amount of time, Virginia Tech first-year coach Kenny Brooks said. To achieve a national ranking is a testament to the hard work and receptiveness to a change in philosophy without hesitation.Tennessee, Auburn and Texas A&M fell out. The Lady Vols saw a 31-year run in the Top 25 end last season. They were ranked for 565 consecutive weeks before that streak ended on Feb. 22. Tennessee (4-3) matched the worst home loss in school history when the Lady Vols lost to Baylor by 22 points on Sunday.Right now, were not talented, Tennessee coach Holly Warlick said. Playing with a lot of heart? Right now, were not playing with a lot of heart. Were getting out-worked, were getting out-muscled and its up to me to try to do something about it. Im going to continue to work. Im not going to give up on this team, I love this team.
