CLEVELAND -- Coco Crisp is headed back to his first baseball home.The switch-hitting outfielder is on the verge of returning to the Cleveland Indians, who have agreed in principle to a trade with the Oakland Athletics, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press on Tuesday night. Major League Baseball still must approve the deal, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity.The trade would have to be official by Wednesday for the 36-year-old Crisp to be eligible for the postseason. The Indians entered Tuesday leading the AL Central by 4 1/2 games.Crisp spent his first four seasons in the majors with the Indians, becoming a fan favorite because of his catchy name, hustle and happy-go-lucky attitude. Cleveland traded him following the 2005 season to Boston.With left fielder Michael Brantley done for the season following surgery and Abraham Almonte ineligible for the playoffs following a PED suspension, the Indians have been looking for outfield depth over the seasons final month -- and perhaps into October.Crisp is batting .234 with 11 homers and 47 RBI in 102 games this season for the As, who are in last place in the AL West.He previously played for Indians manager Terry Francona with the Red Sox. Crisp has plenty of playoff experience, appearing in 31 postseason games and one World Series.A .266 career hitter, Crisp has been with Oakland since 2010.

As the crowd erupted, Davis knocked the ball off the glass and back into his hands. With 1:14 to go in overtime, Davis sixth block also became his 17th rebound. That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night. https://www.fakeshoesonline.com/ .C. -- Charlotte Bobcats coach Steve Clifford said after all of these years in the NBA hes still amazed at some of the things LeBron James does.

SEATTLE -- Chris Petersen is always recruiting, although his pitch so far this season has been focused on a different group.Its been directed at the fans of No. 8 Washington in the hopes of getting people to show up for a non-conference schedule thats less than appealing despite the Huskies (2-0) having their highest ranking in 15 years.Im excited about this team and I know our students arent here yet, but I just really hope that the fans, that they come out for this game and they see this, Petersen said. Its an awesome group to coach. Its going to be an interesting season, I really think that. Thats what I hope.The conclusion to Washingtons uninspired non-conference slate comes Saturday when the Huskies host FCS Portland State. On the heels of wins over Rutgers and Idaho , the Vikings arent exactly the most appealing appetizer before Washington begins conference play.Of course, there is a beacon on the horizon: the Huskies host No. 7 Stanford on Sept. 30 in a game that could be significant in determining the Pac-12 North champion and the first game after classes are back in session at Washington. That game likely will be a sellout, but for this week, Petersen is still being a promoter.Back when this thing was really rolling, it was irrelevant for the most part who was on the schedule; people just came to watch them play, Petersen said. And I think thats so much of the storied history of this program when you talk about the greatest setting. All these fans come and enjoy this.Portland State (1-1) is closing out two straight weeks facing FBS competition. The Vikings were routed 66-33 at San Jose State last week. But if Petersen has any concern the Huskies may be looking ahead, he just needs to remind his team of what Portland State did last year winning at Washington State and at North Texas.Portland State coach Bruce Barnum holds the Huskies in high regard .Well be able to play a team that I bet you will be in the national championship game at the end of the year, Barnum saiid.dddddddddddd.Heres what else to watch in the non-conference finale for both teams:JAKE IS GREAT: Washington QB Jake Browning has taken a significant step forward from last year -- at least for two games. Browning is leading the Pac-12 in pass efficiency rating and has thrown eight touchdowns with just one interception. With Brownings growth, the big play has returned to Washingtons offense. The Huskies already have six offensive touchdowns of 20 or more yards.DUAL THREAT: Portland State quarterback Alex Kuresa is a dual threat in the backfield. Kuresa rushed for 123 yards in the Week 1 win over Division II Central Washington, but struggled last week against San Jose State. Kuresa was held to 29 yards rushing and was just 10 of 22 passing for 135 yards and three interceptions.But hes not the only option in the Portland State backfield that can run and throw. Paris Penn is listed as a quarterback but is more of a multipurpose player for the Vikings. Penn rushed for 137 yards against San Jose State and is the Vikings leading rusher on the season but has not thrown a pass.RUNNING NOWHERE: Washingtons run game has sputtered to begin the season. That hasnt been a problem because of Browning and the passing game, but its an aspect the Huskies offense needs to improve. Myles Gaskin has just 124 yards rushing in two games and the Huskies are averaging 108.5 yards on the ground. Last year, the Huskies averaged 164 yards.Portland State could be the perfect remedy. The Vikings gave up 409 yards rushing to San Jose State last week.CREATE CHAOS: When Portland State pulled its upset of Washington State last year, it forced a pair of key turnovers, part of the 28 takeaways the Vikings had for the season. Through two games this year, the Vikings have yet to force a turnover. Creating takeaways may be the only way Portland State can hang around with the Huskies. ' ' '
