TEMPE, Ariz. Marcus Stroman Jersey . -- Los Angeles Angels pitcher Mark Mulder tore his left Achilles tendon Saturday, cutting short his comeback and possibly bringing his career to an end. Mulder last pitched in the majors in 2008 for St. Louis. The 36-year-old left-hander was hoping to make the Angels rotation after being invited in January to spring training, but team spokesman Eric Kay said Mulder felt a pop during agility drills. Mulder will wait for the swelling to go down before surgery is scheduled. He then faces a six- to eight-month recovery, meaning his career could be over. "I can handle this," Mulder wrote on Twitter. "But seeing my son in tears when he saw me in a boot and crutches and I told him I wasnt going to pitch. That was tough." Mulder won 103 games over nine major league seasons with Oakland and St. Louis, including a 21-win season in 2001. He struggled with arm injuries and had surgery over his final two campaigns with the Cardinals, throwing his most recent major league pitch on July 9, 2008. Mulder had been working as a television analyst and was trying to make a comeback after retooling his delivery. He sounded optimistic that he would make the team when pitchers and catchers reported on Friday. "Ive worked hard and what Im doing right now is good," Mulder said. "I know its working and Im excited for the opportunity." Now, a career that was derailed by two shoulder operations could be finished for good after this injury. It was cruel and somewhat fitting for a pitcher who dominated early in his career but was sidelined for much of the latter part. Mulders best season was his second in 2001, when he went 21-8 with a 3.45 ERA while anchoring a dominant rotation with Barry Zito and Tim Hudson. He followed that up by winning 19, 15 and 17 games for Oakland the next three years and then going 16-8 for St. Louis in 2005. But his career got derailed after that. He made just 26 starts and won six games from 2006-08, posting a 7.73 ERA during that time. Toronto Blue Jays Jerseys .C. - Canadian ice dancing, it seems, is in good hands. Jason Grilli Jersey .

Meanwhile, having just celebrated his third birthday, Cristiano Ronaldo was likely dreaming of one day leading his team out at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in a Champions League semi-final against Manchester United. Back then, English football’s winningest club had just been anointed by Deloitte as the richest club in all of world football. Trailing in their wake, and by quite a distance, was Real Madrid in the runners-up spot and Bayern Munich rounded out the podium. Not much has changed, you’re thinking. Well, think again. Back then, Manchester United and Real Madrid’s combined income was ￡160 million ($285 million.) Today, that figure for the biggest one-two knockout combination in all of world football has grown in astronomic proportions. They now sit at a truly mind-boggling €1.064 billion and growing. This works out to a jaw-dropping $1.425 Billion. From my economic perch, this represents, over the lifetime of the Deloitte Football Money League, an almost tenfold increase in incomes. Their inaugural edition represented income garnered from the 1997-1998 season. Following the release of the most up-to-date and 18th edition earlier in the week, it confirmed that, not only did Real Madid win a fabled Decima in Lisbon last May,the Spanish giants have monopolized top spot with Deloitte FC for exactly a decade now. What’s that they say about success on and off the pitch going hand in glove with each other? According to Deloitte for 2013/2014, Los Merengues banked €549.5 million, the equivalent of almost $2 million a day every day for an entire year. If Real spent it all on player acquisitions last summer, they could have bought themselves a Galactico XI made up entirely of 11 Gareth Bales or six Lionel Messis. One wonders how many jerseys that team could have sold. It’s no surprise and based purely on the unprecedented multi-billion-dollar global broadcast deal, which kicked in last season, that the Barclays Premier League dominated Deloitte’s Football Money League table to the point that half of all clubs that make up the BPL now feature in the Deloitte top 20. Just like our traditional leagues - be it the NBA, NHL or NFL - soccer clubs have three core revenue streams. These are comprised of commercial, matchday and broadcast. Over the lifetime of the Deloitte Rich List, a trend which has emerged is that matchday revenues have become a shrinking percentage of the overall revenue. The reason for this is twofold. Very few clubs have seen increase in stadium attendances. Alongside this, the commercial side of football continues to grow at an increasing pace. In some cases, especially for those at the very top, their substantial rises in commercial income evoke irrational exuberance. Take Manchester United as example. Their new jersey sponsor, Chevrolet, who came on board at the start of this season, are reported to have signed a seven-year deal which will pay the Old Trafford club ￡53 million each and every year. Thanks to the Bank of Canada rate cut earlier in the week, that now works out the price of a pint and pie shy of $100 million per season. To secure such an iconic jersey, Chevrolet had to pay over 50 per cent more this season than insurance giant Aon had to for the 2013/2014 one. Not a shabby raise in pay by any stretch of the imagination. No wonder Gary Bettman looks on with envy. Theres no truth to the rumours, though, that 1-800-GOT-JUNK are in negotiations with the Leafs. Not done there. The club that Waynne Rooney captains starting next season will switch out of the Swoosh for those three stripes next season. Aaron Sanchez Jersey. Their bill? ￡75 million per season. Adidass deal with Manchester United stretches a decade long. You do the math. Manchester United’s close to $1.5 billion apparel deal dwarfs any figure in all of world sport. Those world famous Yankee Pinstripes might now begin thinking, just as NYCFC hit the training pitch ahead of their expansion season, they’ve teamed up with the wrong Manchester outfit. So when we factor in just jersey and jersey sponsor-income - before Manchester United have even sold one of their tens of thousands of season ticket or the first pint is drunk of the hundreds of thousands which are poured each season at Old Trafford - the club Malcolm Glazer built into a highly self-sustainable global entity has already banked a cool quarter of a billion Canadian dollars. No wonder in this modern age of UEFA Financial Fair Play, it is no surprise to now know why the team that finished 2013/2014 well out of a lucrative Champions League spot and dropped from first to seventh in the BPL standing were still in such a tremendously liquid financial position to invest over ￡150 million ($290 million) on upgrades to the talent pool last summer. Im still not sure if the $100 million invested in securing the full time services of Argentine winger Angel Di Maria or lavishing over $25 million for borrowing Radamel Falcao from the tax haven that is Monaco for nine months will be looked back in time as the very best player investments of all time at Old Trafford. A fool and his gold are often parted, they say. At those prices, though, Juan Mata at ￡37 million this time last year almost sounds like a bargain. Let’s hope for the sake of the diminutive Spaniard he doesn’t become a tax write-off this summer. Louis Van Gaal might be the manager, but the boss these days at Old Trafford was likely schooled at Harvard. In lieu of BPL titles, they most certainly possess an MBA or two. Another disturbing trend we can garner from Deloitte over the past few seasons is that an immense divide is opening up between the haves and have-nots of European football. Plain and simple, Mr. Platini, your football rich have become more enriched, whilst UEFAs football poor are slipping further from the grasp to be in position to challenge for honours as agents for elite talent are not even returning their calls. Even the might of Juventus barely scrape into Deloitte’s top 10 these days. Amongst the top two or three in world football at the start of the millennium, it is no shock to learn that since 2006’s Calciopoli scandal, which rocked Italian football to the core and saw Juventus demoted and stripped of a pair of Serie A titles, their fortunes off the pitch have suffered a most dramatic decline. Such is the overall dominance and influence in the business of football by English club and one that is expected to grow over the short and mid-run, the blue half of Merseyside is the 10th-richest in England. Good for 20th in Deloitte’s table with income last season according to Deloitte of €144.1 million, Everton’s income expressed in USD terms works out at even $150 million. A certain just retired US player spent two very successful loan periods at Goodison Park and Landon Donovan certainly proved over his time with Everton that American footballers could most certainly live and thrive in the rarified BPL area. If Don Garber and his band of merry MLS men genuinely harbour intentions that by 2022 North America’s top tier of football is mentioned in the same breath as the finest leagues on planet futbol, the very first indicator we will get for that is when either the LA Galaxy, or maybe even New York City FC, will feature in Deloitte’s Football Money League.
