The Las Vegas Raiders have made some big changes this offseason, but they proved that they are still very much committed to Derek Carr.

Carr and the Raiders have agreed to a three-year, $121.5 million contract extension. Carr had one more year left on his previous deal, so the new one ties him to Las Vegas through the 2025 season.

The new contract includes a no-trade clause.

Carr’s representatives have been working on a new contract with the Raiders since the start of the offseason. 

Carr, 31, threw for 4,804 yards, 23 touchdowns and 14 interceptions last season while leading the Raiders to the playoffs. He has to be thrilled with the way his offseason has gone.

Buck Showalter was the perfect hire for the Mets. This franchise badly needed a voice in the dugout that has been there before, that has managed in the big leagues and on the biggest stage.

Showalter has managed in New York and has won over 1,500 games in his career.

“It was Buck’s ability to connect to a wide range of people, his drive to compete, his curiosity blended with his experience and his overall adaptability that led us to naming him the manager of the New York Mets,” said GM Billy Eppler said.

He is the guy that can get the Mets to the promised land. Can Buck Showalter lead the Mets to a World Series title in his three years at the helm? It’s quite possible!

The automaker, whose Leaf was the first modern mass market electric car launched in the US a decade ago, will invest $18 billion through 2030 to develop 23 electrified models that includes hybrids and 15 all-electric vehicles.

“The role of companies to address societal needs is increasingly heightened. With Nissan Ambition 2030, we will drive the new age of electrification, advance technologies to reduce carbon footprint and pursue new business opportunities. We want to transform Nissan to become a sustainable company that is truly needed by customers and society,” Nissan CEO Makoto Uchida said.

The plan unveiled during an online presentation aims to have 50% of Nissan’s global fleet electrified by 2030 and reach a mix of 75% in Europe, 55% in Japan and 40% in China and the United States by 2026.

It has also set a target date of 2028 for the deployment of solid-state batteries, which holds the promise of reducing cost, weight and charging times compared to current battery technologies.
