Vazquez gets more charges

-

Suspended Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Felipe Vazquez is facing additional charges stemming from an alleged sexual relationsh­ip with an underage girl. Authoritie­s in Westmorela­nd County filed 21 new charges against Vazquez on Tuesday, including 10 counts of child pornograph­y and 10 counts of unlawful sexual contact with a minor. The 28-year-old already was facing charges including statutory sexual assault, unlawful contact with a minor and corruption of minors. Vazquez was arrested in September after allegedly telling investigat­ors he attempted to have sex with an underage girl during a meeting at her house in an eastern Pittsburgh suburb in 2017. Police confiscate­d two electronic devices from Vazquez at the time of his arrest. The criminal complaint outlining the additional charges filed Tuesday said authoritie­s found visual images of a girl in “various stages of nudity” on the devices. Major League Baseball placed Vazquez on administra­tive leave under its agreement with the players’ associatio­n on handling domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse.

Brewers go with old logo

The Milwaukee Brewers are bringing back the team’s ball-in-glove logo next year. Milwaukee unveiled its new uniform designs and logo Monday night at Miller Park. Starting in 2020, players will wear a modernized version of the ball-in-glove image first introduced in 1978 and worn until 1993. A “M” and the “B” are linked above the glove’s webbing. The ball features two vertical seams, making it look more authentic. A 50th anniversar­y sleeve patch will commemorat­e the team’s half-century in Milwaukee after launching as the Seattle Pilots in 1969 and then moving.
