MIAMI — The Los Angeles Dodgers got their shortstop on Wednesday night, acquiring Miguel Rojas from the Miami Marlins in exchange for infield prospect Jacob Amaya. The teams announced the trade Wednesday night.

Barrett’s lacerated right index finger felt fine after it cost him the last six games, and his conditioning was there.

A resume submitted by disgraced Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) to the Nassau County Republican Committee in 2020 includes outlandish and since-debunked boasts related to his education and job history.
