Benedict Cumberbatch Lands Huge Payday For Doctor Strange 2
x At the end of last month, Scott Derrickson, director of Doctor Strange, appeared to be teasing the announcement of Doctor Strange 2. And though Kevin Feige’s already confirmed that the studio plans to make it, now we know that things are definitely progressing. Earlier this afternoon, Mirror ran an exclusive pertaining to the portrayer of the Sorcerer Supreme, Benedict Cumberbatch, and his impending payday. According to the article, Cumberbatch will be laughing all the way to the bank, earning £7.5 million for Doctor Strange 2, which is approximately $8.5 million in USD, and an increase of roughly £5 million from his initial pay packet for the first pic. While this is undoubtedly a terrific tidbit for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, those hoping for more Sherlock, on the other hand, might be out of luck.

Hunter Strickland rejoins Giants, tries to regain groove
By John Shea Published 3:45 pm PDT, Saturday, August 18, 2018 Reliever Hunter Strickland not only hurt the Giants when he punched a clubhouse door on June 18, he hurt his future earning power. Strickland, who was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list on Saturday, said he’s looking forward to helping the Giants win games and accepting any role manager Bruce Bochy throws at him. It won’t be the closer’s gig. Strickland lost that during his two-month absence. Lefty Will Smith is the closer, and Strickland joins the setup contingent somewhere in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. “Missing the whole year last year and coming back and pitching way he is, it’s been a huge lift for the team,” Strickland said of Smith, who rehabbed from Tommy John surgery last year. “I think it’s been remarkable. Keep doing it.” After the season, Strickland will be eligible for salary arbitration for the second time. He’s making … [Read more...] about Hunter Strickland rejoins Giants, tries to regain groove
A’s jump into first-place tie after downing Astros 7-1
By Susan Slusser Updated 3:43 pm PDT, Saturday, August 18, 2018 Trevor Cahill had near no-hit stuff Saturday, a continuation of Oakland’s sensational starting pitching the past few weeks - and it’s those starters, against the odds, who have help push the A’s into a first-place tie in the American League West. Cahill, who signed his deal with the A’s in March, held the defending champion Astros to just an infield single in his seven innings, and Oakland’s doubles-happy offense did the rest in a 7-1 victory at a full and noisy Coliseum. There were 32,204 on hand to see the A’s join Houston atop the division, the first time Oakland has been in first place outside of April since Aug. 25, 2014. The rotation, assembled of odd bits and pieces after numerous injuries and some underperformance, is 9-1 with a 1.79 ERA over the past 16 games, helping the team go 11-3 in August. Sean Manaea is the only starter remaining from the first week of the … [Read more...] about A’s jump into first-place tie after downing Astros 7-1
Tigers acquire reliever Nolan Blackwood from A’s in Mike Fiers trade
Chris McCosky The Detroit News Published 10:52 p.m. UTC Aug 18, 2018 Minneapolis — The Tigers acquired the first of two prospects they are due from the Oakland Athletics to complete the Aug. 6 trade for Mike Fiers — right-handed reliever Nolan Blackwood. Blackwood, 23, was a 14th-round pick of the A’s in 2016 and was 6-3, with a 4.08 ERA and 1.43 WHIP pitching at Double-A Midland this season. MLB Pipeline ranked him as the No. 30 prospect in the A’s system. Blackwood is 6-foot-5 and has a sidearm delivery. He features a fastball in the low-90s and a slider that generates a lot of ground balls. He will likely report to Double-A Erie.
