Hershiser Turns Down Phillies In Spring Trade Talk
Orel Hershiser remains with Cleveland as Philadelphia failed to meet a 4 p.m. deadline to sign the veteran righty. Hershiser has drawn multiple offers, including one in the $2.5 million range, and will consider other clubs after parts of his Indians tenure end. Meanwhile the Indians rout the Astros 15-5 behind a 22-hit attack as Jaret Wright adapts after a shaky start. Robbie Alomar, Wil Cordero and Omar Vizquel contribute strong shows in spring play, with Vizquel committing two errors in two games. The Indians and Dodgers meet again, with Burba set to start for Cleveland. WTAM-AM 1100 plans radio coverage.

Ripken Sr. in Maryland as Cal visits bedside
Cal Ripken left Jupiter after an exhibition with Montreal to be with his father Cal Ripken Sr. 63, battling lung cancer diagnosed last October. Orioles manager Ray Miller said the family seeks privacy as Ripken Sr. receives care at home in Aberdeen. The elder Ripken mentored many, including Miller, and amassed 964 minor-league wins and 68-101 with the Orioles across a 36-year span. Meanwhile other baseball notes include Tim Johnson disputes, Carlos Baerga signing with the Reds, Cubs pitcher Terry Adams awaiting MRI results, and Paul Toth’s death at 63 in Erie.
