From the day Sasaki signed with the Dodgers in January, his agent, Joel Wolfe of Wasserman Media Group, was quick to remind reporters that his young client was “not a finished product by any stretch.”

Stevenson’s attorneys argued in court and through legal filings that he had been chasing another vehicle on a stretch of road known to attract speeders.

"Accidents do happen, though. They might be stretching for a ball and pull their hamstring, or they might roll their ankle - that's a freak sort of accident and it can happen."

Their message: Don’t stretch to buy a house at today’s prices.

Illegal crossings at the southern border have reached historic lows, and agents long tasked with guarding that stretch now patrol faraway cities.
