By Laila Kearney | NEW YORK NEW YORK A Puerto Rican nationalist who served decades in prison for his links to militants who carried out more than 100 bombings will march on Sunday in New York's Puerto Rican Day Parade, but he won't accept an honor that organizers wanted to bestow on him.

The Rangers have been active in conversations with clubs that either face a protection problem on defense or might be willing to trade a legitimate top-pair righty, but we’re told nothing is imminent.
