Shiffrin wins record 83rd World Cup race
American skier Mikaela Shiffrin won a record 83rd World Cup race Tuesday.
Shiffrin’s giant slalom victory broke a tie on the all-time women’s list with former American teammate Lindsey Vonn. Vonn retired four years ago when injuries cut her career short.
Shiffrin now needs only three more wins to match Ingemark Stenmark’s overall mark — between men and women — of 86 victories.
Baseball
A’S ADD AGUILAR >> The A’s added another low-risk, potential high-reward power option to the mix for spring training by reportedly reaching a $3 million, one-year deal with former All-Star first baseman Jesús Aguilar.
Aguilar, 33, was a NL All-Star in 2018 with the Brewers, when he hit a career-high 35 home runs with 108 RBI and slashed .274/.352/.539.
ROYALS GET TAYLOR FROM BOSTON >> The Royals acquired left-hander Josh Taylor from the Boston Red Sox for injury-prone shortstop Adalberto Mondesi and an additional player.
The 30-year-old Taylor missed all of last season with a back injury, but he was stellar over the previous three seasons in Boston, with a 3.69 ERA and 129 strikeouts over 121 appearances.

Not even the players themselves.
