Chinese champion Jiangsu FC says it will 'cease operations'
Chinese Super League champion Jiangsu FC announced Sunday it would “cease operations” with immediate effect, just three months after winning its first title. Nanjing-based Jiangsu, which is owned by retail giant Suning that also holds a majority stake in Italian league leader Inter Milan, said on social media that it hoped that a new backer could be found after the company pulled out. “Even though we are reluctant to part with the players who have won us the highest honors, and fans who have shared solidarity with the club, we have to regretfully make an announcement,” a Jiangsu FC statement said.

Chinese soccer roiled as champion club shuts down
It had all looked so good, so recently. Jiangsu FC was one of the big names in Chinese soccer, and the reigning champion. But now the country's soccer league has been thrown into turmoil by news that the club will immediately cease operations.The announcement came from owner Suning Group over the weekend. The retailer says it wants to focus on its core business, leaving other assets at risk. Jiangsu says it hopes new backers could come in. Failing that, there will be a big hole to fill domestically, and in the Asian Champions League. Jiangsu celebrated its first title win in November.The squad included star Brazilian winger Alex Teixeira, signed for over $60 million. But there were signs of brewing trouble. Teixeira refused to sign a new contract, and the club's coach was reported to be departing.Such news sparked speculation about the club's financial viability. Now the fallout from Suning's move could also be felt far beyond China. The firm also owns top-level Italian club Inter Milan.

In rough start, Richards rescued by 20-pitch mercy rule
Garrett Richards had gotten only one out during his first spring training start, loading the bases and walking in one run before the Red Sox stopped the inning after 23 pitches. “It’s building blocks man,” he said after being rescued by the new rule this spring training that allows managers to end an inning after a pitcher has thrown 20 pitches, regardless of how many outs or runners on base there are. Richards told reporters from Fort Myers, Florida, that his pitches were moving well, but he just struggled to keep them in the strike zone.
