A look at whats happening all around the majors Wednesday:---TRIPLE-AS DAYBig leaguers are off the next two days, but if you need baseball on TV, the Triple-A All-Star Game is being broadcast live at 7 p.m. EDT on MLB Network. Many of the participants might not be long for the minors, including Twins right-hander Jose Berrios, who has already made four starts in the majors this season. A few others who could see the majors in the second half: Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez, Padres outfielder Hunter Renfroe and Diamondbacks right-hander Braden Shipley.SIGNING DAYThe deadline to sign 2016 amateur draft picks is Friday, and three first-rounders -- all left-handed pitchers -- have yet to sign: Braxton Garrett with the Marlins, Jason Groome with the Red Sox and Anthony Kay with the Mets. Garrett was the seventh overall pick and has a commitment to Vanderbilt for if he doesnt sign. Groome was also a Vanderbilt commit but reportedly switched to a junior college days before the draft, meaning he could re-enter the 2017 draft and try to make more money -- a move that increased his negotiating leverage. Kay, a junior at Connecticut, was the 31st overall pick.MANFREDS DANDELIONSBaseball Commissioner Rob Manfreds checklist for the second half includes a familiar item: quicken MLBs pace of play. Manfred admitted Tuesday the sport slipped right at the beginning this year when it comes to pace of play. The average time of a game was 3 hours, 13 seconds prior to the All-Star Game, up from 2:53:04 in 2015. Pace of play for me is like dandelions in your front lawn, Manfred said. I just cant get rid of it.OLYMPIC BASEBALL?Manfred also said that MLB is going to meet with the World Baseball Softball Confederation to discuss possibly allowing major leaguers to compete in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, although he added that from a calendar prospective, the dates of the Tokyo Games are not ideal. The International Olympic Committee executive board voted last month to support a six-nation tournament in baseball and softball for 2020, with a full IOC vote scheduled for August. Baseball was dropped prior to the 2012 London Games and wont be played next month at Rio. We like the idea of baseball being in the Olympics, Manfred said.

On Tuesday, Ottawa placed forward Cory Conacher and defenceman Joe Corvo on waivers as trade rumours swirl around the Senators.England captain Dylan Hartley will be available for the entire RBS 6 Nations campaign after being given a six-week ban for striking Leinsters Sean OBrien.Hartley appeared before an independent disciplinary hearing in London to be sanctioned for the third red card of his career, received in Northamptons Champions Cup defeat by Leinster on Friday.The length of the suspension means he is free to play from January 23, enabling him to lead England when they open their Six Nations defence against France at Twickenham on February 4.Hartley had only been on the pitch for six minutes as a second-half replacement when he struck OBrien with a swinging right arm from behind, resulting in the Ireland flanker failing a head injury assessment.The thee-man hearing upheld the decision of referee Jerome Garces to issue a red card and found that the offence was at the mid-range of World Rugbys sanctions, selecting a five-week suspension for the offence.Two weeks were added due to Hartleys poor disciplinary record before it was reduced by one week because of his guilty plea.Before this latest red card, Hartley had amassed 54 weeks work of suspensions for offences including biting, gouging and butting and the total for his chequered career now stands at 60 weeks.It is the best possible outcome England could have wished for, realising a substantial lay-off was certain but now able to plan for the Six Nations knowing the skipper for all 13 victories this year will be at the helm right from the start.ddddddddddddThe Rugby Football Union outlined its position on Tuesday, stating that Hartley had the full backing of Twickenham and head coach Eddie Jones regardless of the outcome of the hearing.I think Dylans got credit in the bank, RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie said.
