The Monroe Tornadoes will host the MLK Day basketball showcase Monday in Albany. Games begin at 1 p.m. and the final game is scheduled for 7 p.m. when the No.6-ranked Tornadoes (11-2) will take on the No. 4-ranked Calhoun County Cougars (11-3).
From staff reports
The Atlanta Braves announced Monday night that they have signed veteran infielder Matt Adams to a minor-league contract.
Adams, 31, gives Atlanta a left-handed bat heading into the shortened MLB season. He had signed with the Mets, but opted out of the deal and became a free agent.
Adams previously played for the Braves, as well as the Cardinals and Nationals. He hit .226 with 20 home runs and 56 RBIs in 111 games last year with the Nationals.
The left-handed batter fills a void left by all-star outfielder Nick Markakis, who chose not to play in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
