Mitchell, Garcia agree to $910,000 deals with Padres

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Right-hander Bryan Mitchell and infielder Greg Garcia both agreed to $910,000, one-year contracts with the San Diego Padres on Friday.

The 27-year-old Mitchell was 2-4 with a 5.42 ERA in 11 starts and five relief appearances for the Padres, who acquired him from the Yankees last December. He made seven starts, was sent to the bullpen, went on the disabled list for 2½ months because of a right elbow impingement, then had four starts in September.

Garcia, 29, is from San Diego’s El Cajon suburb and was claimed off waivers from St. Louis on Nov. 1. He hit .221 with three homers and 15 RBIs in 181 at-bats for the Cardinals this year.

We’re halfway through December and every game is must-win from here until, well, the Super Bowl. In the AFC, five teams are within 1.5 games of the sixth-seed Ravens . In the NFC, meanwhile, the Vikings are playing some of their worst football of the year but they remain in the final wild-card spot. Whether that holds will be determined, in part, by what the Panthers , Eagles , Redskins and Packers can do in the coming weeks. Alright, let’s get to all the games — and the playoff implications — below.

Packers’ Randall Cobb shares scary details of recent concussion: ‘I didn’t know where I was’

Late during the Packers ‘ season-ending loss to the Bears two weeks ago, receiver Randall Cobb  endured a hard hit from Bears safety Eddie Jackson  after making a key catch on third down. After immediately popping up onto his feet, Cobb remained on the field for the remaining three plays of the series, which concluded with Jackson picking off Aaron Rodgers to effectively end the game and officially end Rodgers’ historic interception-less streak. We later learned that Cobb suffered a concussion on the play, which forced him to miss the Packers’ Week 16 game against the Jets .  Ahead of the Packers’ season finale against the Lions , which could be Cobb’s final game with the Packers , Cobb spoke about the concussion for the first time, sharing scary details about how the injury impacted his memory. “I didn’t know where I was,” Cobb said Thursday, per The Athletic’s Josh Tolentino. “I didn’t remember the three plays that happened before that. I had no clue about the interception unti

LeBron James’ first trip to Brooklyn as a Laker reminds us of what could have been if he had taken his talents to New York

NEW YORK — It was steaming hot in the visitors’ locker room at the Barclays Center. That’s what happens when you jam a whole bunch of people into a pretty small place. The game wouldn’t start for another couple of hours, but the cameras were already on, and those cameras — more than a dozen of them — were trained on perhaps the greatest athlete of his generation, and perhaps the greatest NBA player of all time. But LeBron James wasn’t talking to the media. Shootaround had been canceled in the morning, and that’s when LeBron typically does his pregame media sessions. The Los Angeles Lakers public relations department had said that LeBron wasn’t going to be doing any interviews during the half hour before the game that their locker room was open to the press, but that didn’t stop the dozen cameras and three dozen reporters from filling the visitors’ locker room to the gills. The media surrounded LeBron in a semi-circle. He stretched. He used a foam roller to loosen his muscles. The
