The question was about who James played with in his first All-Star appearance. “It was me, Wilt Chamberlain, Bob Cousy … that was my first All-Star Game back in ’68, I think,” James said. It was an exaggeration. A slight one, perhaps. James’ first All-Star Game was in 2005 — not 1968, of course — and he hasn’t missed one since, meaning Sunday’s All-Star event…

MESA, Ariz. — After an offseason of rumors about Alex Bregman to the Chicago Cubs, reality set in Wednesday night with the news the free-agent third baseman agreed to a three-year, $120 million deal with the Boston Red Sox. A missed opportunity, for sure, but nothing to pull out your hair over. “It’s one of those deals where you’re interested in a very good player and someone else got him and you’re disappointed and you move on,” Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Thursday. “On the field that’s how you have to approach it.” Of course, it’s not so easy for…

Devastating fires in Los Angeles may have also impacted spending. Sales plummeted 2.8% last month at auto dealers…
