BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — General manager John Chayka and the Toronto Maple Leafs are on the clock in having the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft on Friday night, and with Penn State forward Gavin McKenna regarded as the top prospect.

Last-place Mets fire manager Carlos Mendoza. Owner Steve Cohen says 'fans deserve better'

NEW YORK (AP) — Carlos Mendoza was fired as manager of the underperforming New York Mets on Friday and replaced by Andy Green.

Most of Wall Street rises, but sinking AI stocks keep it on track for a losing week

NEW YORK (AP) — Most of the U.S. stock market is rising Friday after oil prices fell back to where they were before the war with Iran, but drops for AI stocks are keeping the market in check.

The S&P 500 was virtually unchanged after recovering from an early loss of 0.9%. The index at the heart of many 401(k) accounts is still on track for its second losing week in the last 13, largely because of drops for stocks swept up in the mania around artificial-intelligence technology.
