Ex-Bama QB Hurts transfers to Oklahoma

Jalen Hurts is off the market — and he’s not making his way to South Florida.

The former Alabama Crimson Tide quarterback announced Wednesday in a post on The Players’ Tribune that he is transferring to Oklahoma and will play his final season of college football with the Sooners.

Hurts was a big reason Alabama played in the College Football Playoff national title game the past three seasons. He was the SEC Player of the Year as a true freshman in 2016, leading the Crimson Tide to a perfect record in the regular season before losing to Clemson, 35-31, in the national championship game.

He led Alabama to an 11-1 mark in the regular season as a sophomore before winning the SEC Championship Game and Sugar Bowl to once again reach the College Football Playoff title game. He was benched for Tua Tagovailoa after the first half of the title game.

Hurts remained a backup to Heisman Trophy runner-up Tagovailoa, completing 51 of 70 passes (72.9%) for 765 yards and eight touchdowns, with only two interceptions. He added 167 yards and two touchdowns on 36 carries. He came off the bench to lead the Crimson Tide to a comeback victory in the SEC title game after Tagovailoa injured his ankle. THE ONE WHERE WILMER LEAVES

There likely won’t be tears this time around. Former Mets fan favorite Wilmer

Flores signed a oneyear deal with the Diamondbacks on Wednesday, according to multiple reports. The Mets did not tender Flores a contract prior to November’s deadline.

The 27-year-old Flores spent six years with the Mets and played 83 of 126 games at first base last season, hitting .267 with 11 home runs and 51 RBI.

Flores, known for his TV show “Friends” walk-up song and clutch atbats, became even more beloved by the fan base after he famously cried during a 2015 game after hearing he had been traded to the Brewers. The deal, of course, eventually fell apart, leaving him in Flushing. SKOGLUND SUSPENSION Kansas City Royals pitcher Eric
