SEATTLE -- He'd seen his name mentioned vaguely in trade rumors, but Saturday morning, Trevor Larnach woke up to a detailed report featuring his name in a failed trade.

The cold and the dark have fueled writers for centuries. During winter in the country, "there's so little to do that if anyone is not in one way or another engaged in intellectual work, he is inevitably bound to become a glutton or a drunkard," wrote Anton Chekhov, for whom the harsh Russian winter was often a character as much as a setting.

Holmes, out since mid-May with a fibula fracture, is one of the most sought-after starters available in the trade market.

The three teenage boys printed directions for what Google Maps said would be a hike of more than five hours through the backcountry of the Howe Sound Crest Trail in British Columbia, Canada.

The trail offers stunning views of a sparkling lake atop craggy mountains.

TORONTO -- Kevin Gausman sits in the corner of the Toronto Blue Jays clubhouse hours before every start, wearing a blue toque on his head and holding a pen in his hand. He is calm amid booming music and pre-game chaos. He pulls out a notebook to scribble affirmations and preparatory notes. It's been the same routine for five years. On Saturday, before what could have been his final start with Toronto, Gausman flipped open his book and tore out a random page.

Thirteen people died Saturday in the crash of a tourist plane visiting the Nazca region in southern Peru, according to the country's tourism ministry. It is not yet known what caused the crash.

Wildfires burning near residential areas in Spokane County, Washington, were spreading rapidly Saturday and forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes.

The largest, the Old Trails fire, sparked around noon and had grown to about 2,500 acres by 5 p.m. local time.

By the south Seattle shoreline, hundreds of people sat on the lawn as Blue Angels fighter jets did flips overhead, roaring through the air. Lovel Gibson, 50, stood with his family to watch the show this weekend. He knew that a few days earlier, gunfire had torn through a Seattle food festival about 7 miles north, killing three and wounding at least four others, but he wouldn't let that deter an outing to the city's Seafair Weekend Festival.
