The Pittsburgh Pirates announced Monday the hiring of Tony Leo as assistant athletic trainer.

It's been reported that MLB umpire Brian O'Nora was arrested in a sex sting operation in Ohio and is being charged with two misdemeanors. He, among others, allegedly solicited prostitutes online. Initial reviews indicate that the arrest will not be overturned by replay.
