The Red Sox will have to work quickly to reinforce their starting rotation, as their aggressive former president of baseball operations has already taken a top arm off the board.On Sunday, Dave Dombrowski’s Philadelphia Phillies and Aaron Nola agreed to terms on a seven-year deal worth $172 million.Nola, 30, has spent his entire career in red pinstripes thus far and seems destined to become the rare Major Leaguer of his era to continue that to the end. The Phillies drafted him seventh overall in 2014, and he debuted just 13 months later. Over nine years, he owns a career 3.72 ERA, 3.38 FIP, and 1.129 WHIP in the regular season. He’s finished between third and seventh in National League Cy Young voting three times since 2018 when he also became a first-time All-Star and finished 13th in the NL MVP race.For a Phillies team that has undergone immense turmoil and transformation over the last decade, Nola has been the rare constant, so it comes as little surprise that they pulled out all...

POCONE, BRAZIL (AP) — Firefighters in Brazil’s Pantanal wetlands earlier this month celebrated the end of the fire season on Facebook, saying in a Nov. 7 post that “it is a relief for everyone who lives in the region.”They spoke too soon. In the first two weeks of November, fires fueled by unusually dry and hot weather destroyed nearly 770,000 hectares (1.9 million acres) of the world’s largest tropical wetlands, preliminary figures from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro show. This accounts for 65% of the damage done by fires in the region this year.Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research, a federal agency, detected 3,380 fires in the Pantanal in the first 17 days of November, compared to just 69 in the same period a year ago, and well beyond previous fire season records dating back to 1998.The Pantanal holds thousands of plant and animal species, including 159 mammals, and it abounds with jaguars, according to the World Wildlife Fund. During the rainy season, ri...
