Start making travel plans to see a historic World Cup game

This time next year, North America - mainly the United States - will be overcome with soccer fever. The world's sport, the beautiful game, football ... whatever you prefer to call it, it is returning to the States next year for the first time in more than three decades. So get ready. Check in with a travel adviser and get those trip plans in motion now before it's too late. The FIFA World Cup will kick off on June 11, 2026, with 48 nations vying for the game's ultimate title over five weeks. A champion will be crowned just outside of New York City on July 19, 2026. This tournament marks a significant shift from previous iterations, with FIFA expanding from 32 to 48 squads. That means more matches and more opportunities for travelers to experience this once-in-a-lifetime sporting event. FIFA has selected 16 host cities for the tournament, including five in Canada and Mexico. Toronto, Vancouver, Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey will host World Cup clashes next year. However, the bulk of the action will take place in the U.S., with iconic 1994 hosts like Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco, New York (East Rutherford, New Jersey) and Dallas returning to the mix. U.S. cities that will host World Cup action for the first time will include Kansas City, Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Houston and Seattle. While Canada and Mexico will host 10 matches each, the U.S. will host 60, including the quarterfinals, semifinals and final. Philadelphia is anticipating more than 500,000 soccer fans and anywhere from $147 to $262 million in visitor spending, while Missouri is projecting nearly $700 million in economic activity. Propelled by the success of the NFL's Chiefs, Kansas City is poised to reach new heights when it hosts a quarterfinal clash on July 11, 2026. "You really can't put an economic number to putting KC on a world stage ... that's the best advertisement for tourism," former Missouri Sen. John Rizzo said at the time of FIFA's selection in 2022. "We don't plan on World Cups, World Series or Super Bowls, but when they happen, they're just huge economic bonuses. We're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars that will flow back into Missouri." The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be historic for many reasons, but beyond everything else, this marks just the second time the U.S. will play host since the tournament was inaugurated nearly a century ago. For Americans in search of an excuse to travel, the World Cup must be at the top of the list. ________ Copyright (C) 2025, Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Hard-Throwing Chase Burns Appears Ready To Help Cincinnati Reds

The Cincinnati Reds believe pitching prospect Chase Burns is ready to face big-league batters. His numbers in the minors support their decision to call him up – even if it is against the power-laden New York Yankees. The No. 2 overall pick last July has sailed through 13 starts this year across three levels. In 66 innings, he has allowed only 38 hits and 13 walks while striking out 98. He had a 7-3 record and 1.77 earned run average. Wow! Whether he can succeed in Major League Baseball is the question. Many minor-league phenoms have failed. The Reds are certainly not babying him. He will be facing the vaunted Bronx Bombers, led by Aaron Judge (.367 batting average, 27 homers, 61 RBI). The Yankees rank second in homers, fourth in runs, fifth in batting, and doubles and have drawn more walks than any team. Wow, turned around, is still wow! CHATTANOOGA, TN: Cincinnati Reds prospect Chase Burns of the Chattanooga Lookouts pitches against ... More the Rocket City Trash Pandas at AT&T Field on May 25, 2025. (Photo by Maddalena LoRae/Minor League Baseball) Compounding the debut Tuesday night in Cincinnati is that the precocious 22-year-old will be facing that team at Great American Ballpark, ranked by as the most favorable home run ballpark in the game over the past 20 years. Ow! Burns certainly has his work cut out for him. He clearly is not pitching for the Dayton Dragons anymore. He made his pro debut with them on April 3, allowing one hit in four scoreless innings to the West Michigan Whitecaps. He fanned four of the first six men he faced and six total. His most recent start was against the Yankees' Triple-A farm team last Wednesday. He fanned seven in seven innings, allowing one run on three hits and no walks. 'We knew they were swinging a lot, so we said here it is,' Burns told Charlie Goldsmith of Fox19 in Cincinnati. 'We attacked. All pitching is is adjusting to see what they do. They were swinging a lot, so I put the ball in the zone and let them have it.' Surprise Or No Surprise? According to one NL scout, Burns' even-keel approach has been just as important to his rapid rise as has been his 102-mph fastball and put-away slider. 'He's talented yet humble, works hard, accepts coaching and in general is everything you want in a young player. I'm not surprised at all at his success thus far,' he said. Burns was shocked when he was picked No. 2 and got a record $9.25 million to sign last July. 'I was surprised but I really didn't know what to think,' he said then. WINSTON SALEM, NC: Chase Burns of the Wake Forest Demon Deacons pitches against the Florida State ... More Seminoles at David F. Couch Ballpark on April 19, 2024. (Photo by) The 6-3, 210-pound pitcher was considered the best pitcher in the draft after going 23-6 with 408 strikeouts in 252 1/3 innings in college. He had two fine seasons at Tennessee, transferred to Wake Forest, and was even better in 2024: 10-1, 2.70 ERA, 191 strikeouts in 100 innings with 62 hits and 30 walks allowed. Burns told Goldsmith earlier this year the move really helped his development. 'There were so many changes that I couldn't even name them all. Small things ended up being bigger. Flexibility. Mobility. Mental work. Being at a new place helped me. I didn't have a curveball at Tennessee as much. They implemented that more so I had the four-pitch mix. All of the characteristics of my pitches improved. The mental game. Drills. All kinds of stuff. Water bags. Core stability. Everything that completes a pitcher.' Impressive Company Burns will be the first pitcher picked in 2024 to start a game in the majors. Ryan Johnson, a second-round choice, made his pro debut in April in relief for the Los Angeles Angels. He has since been sent to the minors. Paul Skenes, the top pick in 2023, not only debuted in 2024, but started the All-Star Game. He won the NL Rookie of the Year award, going 11-3 with a 1.96 ERA. How do the two compare in minor-league numbers per nine innings? Skenes in 12 starts: 5.8 hits allowed, 2.6 walks allowed, 14.6 strikeouts. Burns in 13 starts: 5.2 hits allowed, 1.8 walks allowed, 12.1 strikeouts. MINNEAPOLIS: Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers pitches against the Minnesota Twins at ... More Target Field on June 20, 2025. (Photo by) Let's throw in another hard thrower who took MLB by storm last week. Jacob Misiorowski set a record by not allowing a hit over his first 11 big-league innings for the Milwaukee Brewers. It took the second-round pick in 2022 longer to get called up and his numbers per innings in the minors show why. Misiorowski in 68 games (55 starts): 5.3 hits allowed, 5.4 walks allowed, 12.3 strikeouts. While his hits and strikeouts totals ranked between Burns and Skenes, his lack of command and high walks totals held him back. Who Needs The Minors? Some pitchers went directly to the Majors upon signing, most notably Hall of Famers Eddie Plank of the Philadelphia Athletics in 1901, Eppa Rixey of the 1912 Philadelphia Phillies, Ted Lyons of the 1923 Chicago White Sox and Bob Feller at age 17 with the 1936 Cleveland Indians. Of those to do it in the past 60 years, Garrett Crochet, Jim Abbott, Mike Morgan and Burt Hooton have been the most successful. Others who never lived up to being highly hyped were David Clyde, Eddie Bane, Pete Broberg and Steve Dunning. Notable Quick Callups Don Gullett got to the Reds at age 19 in 1970 after only 11 minor-league starts. His per nine-inning numbers: 5.7 hits, 4.3 walks, 10.0 strikeouts. Despite battling numerous arm ailments that made him retire at age 27, he compiled a 109-50 career record. Justin Verlander got the call at age 22 with the Detroit Tigers in 2003 after only 20 starts in the minors. His per nine-inning numbers: 6.1 hits, 2.0 walks, 10.3 strikeouts. He's still going at age 42 with a 262-151 career record. Vida Blue was the AL Rookie of the Year and Cy Young winner in 1971 with a 24-8 record at age 22. In 56 games (55 starts) in the minors: 6.2 hits, 4.3 walks, 11.3 strikeouts. Walks were a problem he needed to overcome. Jim Palmer was worse and made the Hall of Fame. He got to the Baltimore Orioles at age 19, won a World Series game at age 20. In 29 minor-league games, he walked 190 in 182 innings or 9.4 per nine innings. He gave up only 104 hits (amazing 5.1 per 9) and fanned 155 (7.7 per 9). NEW YORK: Baltimore Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer and second baseman Joe Morgan, who won back-to-back ... More MVP honors with the Cincinnati Reds, were elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame on Jan. 10, 1990. In 19 seasons with the Orioles, he allowed 7.6 hits, 3.0 walks and fanned 5.0 per nine innings. Not that Palmer lobbed it in. In 3,948 innings, he never allowed a grand slam. His mediocre strikeout rate zoomed up by 27.7% with a runner on third base and less than two outs. There were two very big reasons for this. Pitchers in the 1960s and 70s were expected to go nine innings, so Palmer did not throw all-out all the time like today's hurlers. He had 211 complete games and 56 shutouts. The Orioles also had a fabled defense during much of his career and it made sense to let opposing batters hit the ball. Baltimore won 41 gold glove awards including three by Palmer during his career (1965-84): 3B Brooks Robinson, 11; SS Mark Belanger, 8; CF Paul Blair, 8; 2B Bobby Grich, 4; 2B Davey Johnson, 3; 1B Eddie Murray, 3; SS Luis Aparicio, 1. On the other hand, Shane Bieber hardly walked anybody on the road to MLB in 2018. In 50 games (49 starts) in Cleveland's farm system, he walked 19 in 277 innings, a remarkable 0.6 per nine innings. He won the AL Cy Young Award in the Covid-abbreviated 2020 season with an 8-1 record, 1.63 ERA. Chase Burns' Outlook The raw numbers support what nearly every scout says: Chase Burns has everything needed to be successful. Talent, makeup, desire and the intangibles that sets special players apart from the rest. The Reds will carefully monitor his workload, but arm injuries almost seem inevitable these days with every pitcher seemingly throwing all-out on every offering. Whether Burns can have a long, successful career is anybody's guess. Nobody knows. It should be great fun watching Chase Burns on Tuesday night on the big stage and into the future.

Allan Winans: 3 things to know about Yankees pitcher making 2025 debut vs Reds on Monday

Allan Winans has been called up to make his first Yankees' start on Monday night, on the road against the Cincinnati Reds. On Sunday morning, the Yankees placed lefty Ryan Yarbrough on the 15-day injury list due to a strained right oblique, necessitating Winans' 2025 big league debut. Advertisement Here's a brief look at Winans, the 29-year-old right-hander from Southern California: Allan Winans was drafted by the Mets Allan Winans Winans was selected by the Mets in the 17th round of the 2018 MLB First Year Player Draft, out of Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina. That same school has produced Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto (2022 draft) and Baltimore Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins (2015 draft). Winans reached Class AA Binghamton in the Mets' organization in 2021, and he was acquired by the Atlanta Braves in December of that year. Allan Winans' brief career with Braves Winan made eight career starts with the Braves across the 2023 and 2024 seasons, posting a 7.20 ERA. Advertisement But his second career start, Aug. 12, 2023, was a memorable one. Allan Winans Against the Mets at Citi Field, Winans tossed seven shutout innings and allowed just four hits, with nine strikeouts, to claim his first (and, so far, only) MLB win. Winans' last big-league appearance was July 24, 2024, when he was knocked out in the third inning of a start against the Reds at Atlanta. Allan Winans' minor league success in 2025 Invited to big-league spring training camp with the Yankees in February, Winans was in the mix for a rotation spot following injuries to Gerrit Cole (elbow surgery) and Luis Gil (lat strain). Advertisement Veteran Carlos Carrasco emerged as the No. 5 starter out of camp, and since then Yarbrough and Will Warren have claimed rotation spots. But at Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Winans has "been tremendous,'' said Yanks manager Aaron Boone, posting a 0.90 ERA in 11 games (9 starts) with 59 strikeouts in 50 innings and a 1.040 WHIP. Not an overpowering pitcher, Winans relies on changeups, sinkers and sliders with an occasional four-seam fastball that registers 90-mph according to MLB Statcast. Coming back from a left knee strain, Marcus Stroman could soon "be in the mix'' as a rotation option according to Boone. Advertisement Building up to the 70-pitch range, Stroman is scheduled to make another minor league rehab start Tuesday. This article originally appeared on Who is Allan Winans?
