Leaf’s probation may be revoked

Courts: The Texas prosecutor who brokered a plea deal with former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf has filed a motion to revoke his probation and will press for prison time.

Randall County district attorney James Farren said Monday in Lubbock, Texas, that his motion probably will be amended as he gets details about Leaf’s latest legal problem. Leaf faces four felonies in Montana after allegedly breaking into a home to steal prescription painkillers, then robbing a second home after being released from jail.

Mariners rest; Indians visit next

MLB: After the whirlwind of playing games on two continents and three states to begin the 2012 season the Seattle Mariners finally had a day off at home on Monday.

For many Mariners, Monday was the first day in Seattle with no baseball since early February.

“It’s been a long stretch,” said manager Eric Wedge. “These guys still haven’t gotten a chance to get settled in.”

But it’s back to business today when the Cleveland Indians visit Safeco Field in the opener of a three-game series (7 p.m., Root). Following Cleveland, the Chicago White Sox visit for three games then the Mariners hit the Eastern time zone for the first time this season.
