Loons star Emanuel Reynoso shares why he was away from club for four months

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:02:41 GMT

Emanuel Reynoso was making up for lost time Tuesday.Minnesota United’s star midfielder was full of vigor before the training session started, certainly had a spark during it and answered all questions in a nearly 20-minute group interview afterward.The Argentine first laughed with fellow Latino teammates in the opening jog, dribbled a ball between warmup drills and passed another ball with a staff member. Then the MLS All-Star rattled his first shot off the post, deftly slotted the second one into the back of the net and pulled off something very few players can do — a back-heel flick to himself to set up another shot.None of that was seen during his four-month holdout in Argentina, which resulted in an MLS suspension without pay from February until he returned in May and cleared league protocols. He trained for a month before making an impact as a substitute into the previous two games against Toronto and Montreal.Loons manager Adrian Heath joked with Reynoso before Reynoso spoke w...

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A constitutional amendment to restore abortion rights in Missouri will move forward after a judge on Tuesday broke a standoff between two Republican officials that had halted the process.Cole County Presiding Judge Jon Beetem ordered Attorney General Andrew Bailey to approve fellow Republican Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick's estimated $51,000 price tag on the proposal within 24 hours.Bailey had refused to approve the price estimate, arguing that if the proposal were to succeed, it could cost the state as much as a million times more than that figure because of lost Medicaid funding or lost revenue that wouldn’t be collected from people who otherwise would be born.But Beetem said Bailey has “no authority to substitute his own judgment for that of the Auditor.” What to know about Missouri's gun laws “There is an absolute absence of authority to conclude the Attorney General is permitted to send the Auditor’s fiscal note summary bac...

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:02:41 GMT

ST. LOUIS - The last time the St. Louis Blues missed the playoffs prior to this year, they went on to win a Stanley Cup championship the following season. That's a tough order to fulfill again, but with the NHL offseason nearly a week underway, now is the time to think about moves that could help the team reach another level. Some are convinced it could start with a homegrown talent. RELATED - Cardinals-Giants set for June 2024 game at America’s oldest pro ballpark Clayton Keller, born and raised in the St. Louis metro, has spent the last seven seasons with the Arizona Coyotes. Last year, at age 24, he set career highs in goals (37), assists (49) and points (86), earning around 21 minutes of ice time per game. Keller is nearing the midway point of a contract that will pay him around $57 million over eight years. Given his age and recent progressions, it's a team-friendly contract that would likely make him untouchable in most settings. With some uncertainty facing his current...
