The Toronto Blue Jays have signed 16 year-old Vladimir Guerrero Jr. They outbid the world and got him in the organization.

Kind of a complicated deal which involved trading some players to the Dodgers in exchange for International pool slots so they could pony up the $3.9 million signing bonus without exorbitant penalties.

Anyhoo, got 'er dun!

FIBA U19 World Championship: USA tops Croatia in overtime to win gold medal
The Croatians put together an impressive effort to keep the score close throughout the game without star forward Dragan Bender who sat out due to a shoe company dispute.

The United States received its toughest challenge in the FIBA U-19 World Championship in the gold medal game. Croatia's Luka Bozic made his first of two free throws with four seconds left to tie the score in regulation, but missed the final attempt. The game headed into overtime, where Jalen Brunson and Jayson Tatum carried the USA to a 79-71 victory to claim gold on Sunday in Greece.

American's talent advantage proved to be too much. Brunson, who will play for Villanova next season, was the star of the show, finishing with 14 points, seven assists and zero turnovers in 40 minutes of play.

Three other United States scorers finished in double figures, led by Harry Giles (13 points, 16 rebounds) and Tatum (13 points). Josh Jackson also added 10 points and eight rebounds for America in the victory.

The United States opened up overtime with a 10-0 run and never looked back. Tatum's breakaway slam was the highlight of the extra session.
