Tyler Danish, a 27-year-old right-handed pitcher who hasn't played in the big leagues since 2018, has earned a spot on the Red Sox opening day roster, the club announced Monday.
Danish was a non-roster invitee who came to Boston after spending most of 2021 pitching for the Los Angeles Angels' Triple-A club. He has appeared in 11 big league games in his career, all with the Chicago White Sox between 2016-18, but impressed Red Sox officials after posting a 1.50 ERA in six Grapefruit League outings with five strikeouts and a .200 opposing batters average over six innings.
His elevation to the big leagues is a great story, but unfortunately the Red Sox announcement also indicated that to make room on the 40-man roster left-hander Chris Sale will be moved to the 60-day injured list, meaning he won't be available until June at the earliest.
The Red Sox also announced that right-handed pitcher John Schreiber and outfielders Franchy Cordero and Rob Refsnyder will be reassigned to the minor leagues, leaving the Red Sox with two more cuts to make before finalizing the Opening Day roster. Boston still has first baseman Travis Shaw and righty Hansel Robles as the last remaining non-roster invitees in camp, and the club could accommodate both relatively easily with a couple more minor moves.
In addition to the major league moves, the Red Sox also announced that top prospects Jay Groome and Brayan Bello will start the season in Double-A Portland. Both are on Boston's 40-man roster and got a late start to spring training compared to their minor league peers due to the lockout, and both are candidates to move up to Triple-A Worcester before long.
Houck finishes spring strong in loss to Twins
Tanner Houck has struggled with his command throughout the spring, but while he was saddled with the loss in Monday's 2-0 defeat to the Minnesota Twins, his final Grapefruit League was by far his best.
Houck allowed two runs, both on solo home runs, over six strong innings of work, during which he tallied seven strikeouts while allowing five hits and only one walk. The homers came courtesy of Miguel Sano in the fourth inning and Max Kepler in the sixth.
After Houck was finished, reliever Hansel Robles made his first appearance of the spring since his late arrival to camp due to visa issues. Robles, originally acquired at last summer's trade deadline, allowed a hit and a walk with two strikeouts in a scoreless inning of work. Jake Diekman followed with two strikeouts and a walk in the eighth and Hirokazu Sawamura got a strikeout to wrap up the frame.
Offensively Boston did little damage against Minnesota's pitching, with Xander Bogaerts and Bobby Dalbec tallying the team's only hits. Bogaerts did hit a double in his first Grapefruit League start since last Wednesday.
With the loss Boston is now 10-8 on the spring and will wrap up its Grapefruit League schedule tomorrow at home against the Twins. Michael Wacha will get the start and then the Red Sox will break camp and head north to gear up for Thursday's regular season opener against the Yankees.
Cora says rookie RHP Kutter Crawford has made big league team
Kutter Crawford has officially made the big league club.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters on Monday that the rookie right-handed pitcher will be on the Opening Day roster after an impressive showing in spring training. The former Triple-A starting pitcher, who tallied eight strikeouts and a 2.25 ERA over four innings in Grapefruit League play, will primarily be used as a multi-inning reliever.
Crawford is two years removed from Tommy John surgery and was last year's recipient of the Lou Gorman Award given to a minor leaguer who has overcome obstacles to reach the big league club. Crawford made his big league debut in September as an emergency spot starter amid the club's COVID-19 outbreak and now has an opportunity to stick around for at least the first month of the season until rosters drop from 28 to 26.
Cora's announcement comes with two games remaining in spring training and with the Red Sox coming off a 6-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday. Rafael Devers hit his team-high sixth home run of the season, a three-run shot in the second, and Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a two-run homer as well. Travis Shaw drove in Boston's last run with the help of a fielding error in right, and Nick Pivetta got the win after allowing one run over five innings with six strikeouts and a walk in his final spring start.
Monday the Red Sox are set to face the Minnesota Twins at Hammond Stadium, and Xander Bogaerts is back in the lineup for the first time since this past Wednesday. Tanner Houck will get the start and Hansel Robles is scheduled to pitch for the first time since arriving late to camp last Thursday due to visa issues. Jake Diekman and Hirokazu Sawamura are also scheduled to pitch, and the game will begin at 1:05 p.m. The game is not being carried by NESN but can be heard live on WEEI 850 AM.
The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Xander Bogaerts SS
- Rafael Devers 3B
- Kiké Hernández CF
- J.D. Martinez LF
- Trevor Story 2B
- Bobby Dalbec 1B
- Jackie Bradley Jr. DH
- Christian Arroyo RF
- Kevin Plawecki C
- Tanner Houck P
Yesterday the Red Sox announced that lefty reliever Darwinzon Hernandez will start the season in Triple-A. Sunday morning manager Alex Cora told reporters that they hope to stretch him out and that he will be the Worcester Red Sox opening day starter.
Hernandez has struggled with his command throughout his big league career, and Cora said they hope to have him work two to three innings at a time on a regular schedule so that he can improve his consistency. The WooSox are set to open their season in Jacksonville on Tuesday in Jacksonville.
In the meantime, the Boston Red Sox have three Grapefruit League games remaining before breaking camp ahead of Thursday's regular season opener against the Yankees. Nick Pivetta is scheduled to take the mound in North Port against the Atlanta Braves for his last spring start and the lineup will include most of the usual starters minus Xander Bogaerts and Trevor Story.
First pitch is 1:05 p.m. and the game will be carried live on NESN and WEEI 93.7 FM. The Red Sox full lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Kiké Hernández CF
- Rafael Devers 3B
- J.D. Martinez DH
- Alex Verdugo LF
- Bobby Dalbec 1B
- Jackie Bradley Jr. RF
- Christian Vázquez C
- Jonathan Araúz SS
- Yolmer Sánchez 2B
- Nick Pivetta P
LHP Darwinzon Hernandez among latest roster cuts
The Red Sox announced their latest round of roster cuts after Saturday's game, dropping the number of active players in big league camp to 34 with just days remaining in the regular season.
The most notable player cut was left-handed pitcher Darwinzon Hernandez, who was optioned to Triple-A Worcester alongside right-handed pitcher Eduard Bazardo. In addition, four non-roster invitees were reassigned to minor league camp, those being right-handed pitcher Kaleb Ort, left-handed pitcher Derek Holland, outfielder Christin Stewart and infielder Yolmer Sánchez.
The Red Sox have to cut the roster to 28 before the season opener against the New York Yankees on Thursday, meaning there are still six more cuts to be made. The players likely on the bubble who remain in the mix include first baseman Travis Shaw, infielder Jonathan Araúz, outfielders Franchy Cordero and Rob Refsnyder and right-handed pitchers Kutter Crawford, Tyler Danish, Hansel Robles, John Schreiber and Phillips Valdez.
Eovaldi tops 90 pitches in final spring start
Nathan Eovaldi was in full control for most of his final spring training start, pushing into the sixth inning and topping 90 pitches before running out of gas in Saturday's 7-2 loss to Pittsburgh.
Eovaldi cruised through the first five innings, allowing only a solo home run to Michael Chavis before running into trouble in the sixth. Eovaldi gave up a double and a two-run home run by Diego Castillo to start the frame, recorded two quick outs and then should have got out of the inning when a bouncing liner got past Travis Shaw at first.
That error was followed by an RBI single by Hunter Owen, which chased Eovaldi from the game, and Owen later came around to score as well to close the book on Eovaldi's outing. The Red Sox opening day starter finished with five runs (four earned) on six hits over 5.2 innings, with no walks and seven strikeouts. He finishes the spring with a 3.55 ERA over 12.2 innings and had 16 strikeouts against no walks.
Beyond Eovaldi, the most noteworthy performer from Saturday was Jackie Bradley Jr., who jumped over the right field wall into the bullpen trying to catch Castillo's home run ball in a play reminiscent of Torii Hunter's dive into the bullpen on David Ortiz's famous 2013 ALCS grand slam. Bradley couldn't make the play but he did crush a solo home run to right shortly afterwards. J.D. Martinez had a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the sixth to score Boston's other run.
Boston will now face Atlanta in North Port on Sunday. The Red Sox then face Minnesota on the road Monday before wrapping up the spring at home on Tuesday against the Twins.
Eovaldi set for final spring tune-up before Opening Day
Nathan Eovaldi will take the hill for the last time this spring Saturday before getting the ball for his third consecutive Opening Day on Thursday in New York.
Eovaldi and the Red Sox host the Pittsburgh Pirates at jetBlue Park, and the team will utilize a big league heavy lineup that includes Trevor Story back at second base and the starting outfield alignment of Alex Verdugo, Kiké Hernández and Jackie Bradley Jr.
In addition to Eovaldi, Garrett Whitlock is scheduled to start a minor league game on the back fields to keep him ready to potentially start Boston's fifth game of the year. Whitlock was originally scheduled to pitch Friday but his start was bumped back a day.
The Red Sox are coming off a 9-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays in Port Charlotte on Friday, during which starter Rich Hill was lit up for nine runs on 11 hits over 3.2 innings of work. The bullpen fared much better, with Methuen's Jacob Wallace, Brendan Nail, Jake Diekman, Austin Davis and Tyler Danish combining for 4.1 innings of scoreless relief. Trevor Story had a sacrifice fly and Kevin Plawecki hit a two-run home run in the loss.
Saturday's game will begin at 1:05 p.m. and will be carried live on NESN and WEEI 93.7 FM. The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Kiké Hernández CF
- Alex Verdugo LF
- Trevor Story 2B
- J.D. Martinez DH
- Travis Shaw 1B
- Kevin Plawecki C
- Jackie Bradley Jr. RF
- Christian Arroyo SS
- Yolmer Sánchez 3B
- Nathan Eovaldi P
No word yet on whether Sale is ready to start throwing
Chris Sale underwent an MRI on his rib Thursday to determine if the stress fracture that has sidelined him throughout spring training has fully healed. Alex Cora said they are still awaiting results but could receive word on whether or not Sale will be cleared to throw by later today.
"They're going to talk to the people in Boston and read the MRI, so we'll know more during the day," Cora said. "Hopefully everything is healed and we can move forward and start his throwing progression."
Once Sale is eventually cleared, Cora said he will be starting from square one and will need time to ramp up before he can contribute in regular season games. He declined to give a timetable, saying when he's ready he'll be ready, but in all likelihood Sale would need at least a couple of weeks.
In the meantime, most of Boston's projected starting lineup will be making the trip up to Port Charlotte for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Christian Arroyo will be back in right field for the second time this week, and Trevor Story will be in the lineup playing second base for his second game in a Red Sox uniform.
Rich Hill will start for the Red Sox with Jake Diekman, Ryan Brasier and Austin Davis scheduled to pitch as well, and Tyler Danish will be available as a back-up just in case. Garrett Whitlock, who was originally scheduled to start a game on the back fields, will instead pitch on the back fields Saturday.
Friday's game will begin at 1:05 p.m. and will be broadcast on NESN and WEEI 850 AM. The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Christian Arroyo RF
- Trevor Story 2B
- Rafael Devers 3B
- J.D. Martinez DH
- Bobby Dalbec 1B
- Alex Verdugo LF
- Christian Vázquez C
- Rob Refsnyder CF
- Jonathan Araúz SS
- Rich Hill P
Wacha avoids injury after taking line drive to leg
Red Sox starting pitcher Michael Wacha had a scare when he was struck in the leg by a line drive in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins, but while he left the game early he appears to have avoided an injury.
The incident happened during the fourth inning, when Wacha was struck by a comebacker off the bat of Alex Kirilloff. Wacha remained in the game and finished the inning, but he did not return for the fifth and was replaced by minor leaguer Oddanier Mosqueda.
Alex Cora said afterwards that Wacha was supposed to pitch five innings but that he was removed as a precaution. Wacha later indicated that he was hit in a softer spot behind his right leg and that he finished his last inning on the back fields afterwards.
"We'll be able to keep it," Wacha joked. "Luckily it got me in the meat, no bone or anything, so should be good to go tomorrow."
Wacha wound up allowing three runs on five hits over four innings with no walks and five strikeouts, and the Red Sox also benefited from another big day at the plate by Rafael Devers and Bobby Dalbec.
In his first at bat, Devers hit a mammoth solo home run for his fifth homer of the spring. Dalbec followed with a solo shot of his own in the second, his third of the spring, and Travis Shaw finally broke through by going 2 for 2 with an RBI double after starting the spring 0 for 17. Alex Verdugo had a sacrifice fly in the eighth to score what turned out to be the game-winning run.
Among the day's other highlights:
- Derek Holland, a 12-year veteran trying to make the team as a nonroster invitee, had an impressive outing in the later innings. Holland pitched two scoreless innings in the seventh and eighth, holding the Twins without a hit or a walk while striking out two.
- Hansel Robles, one of Boston's trade deadline acquisitions from last summer, finally arrived in Fort Myers on Thursday after dealing with extensive delays trying to get his visa situation worked out. Robles emerged as one of Boston's better relievers down the stretch last year but now has less than a week to get up to speed before the Red Sox open the regular season in New York next Thursday.
- Christian Arroyo probably won't play much at shortstop this season with both Xander Bogaerts and Trevor Story on the roster, but he sure looked good manning the position on Thursday. Arroyo made a handful of excellent plays, including a sliding stop to his right to throw out Kyle Garlick at first to end the top of the fourth.
Cora says Vazquez an option for backup first base job
Travis Shaw is having a tough spring, and as of right now the veteran first baseman is 0 for 17 with seven strikeouts and no walks in eight Grapefruit League games.
Shaw is also technically a nonroster invitee, so given his struggles it's fair to wonder who Boston's back-up first baseman would be if Shaw ultimately doesn't make the team.
Asked about that on Thursday, manager Alex Cora said the job would go to catcher Christian Vazquez.
"As of right now, Christian is our backup first baseman," Cora said.
The "right now" is the key phrase, given that right now Shaw technically isn't on the team, but the clear endorsement is notable both for how loudly Cora voiced faith in his catcher's ability and also because of how few other options the Red Sox have at the position besides Bobby Dalbec and Shaw.
Even though Vázquez has limited experience playing first base, Cora noted he has done it before, including a few high-profile spots.
"Christian played in the World Series at first base without ever having played first base in his career, so that's a guy I'm not worried about. We put him at second one point in '19 and he turned double plays," Cora said. "As far as footwork and baseball IQ he's one of our best infielders to be honest, it just happens that he's a catcher. I know in winter ball he played first base a little bit. I have no hesitation, if we have to play him at first he'll be ok."
Since the arrival of Trevor Story the Red Sox have had to reshuffle their bench plans, and as of now Cora said there are still a handful of players on the cutline who still have a chance. He said Christian Arroyo's move to the outfield has gone well, which will potentially open up opportunities for other players like Jonathan Araúz, Yolmer Sánchez, Rob Refsnyder and Franchy Cordero to earn spots.
"All the guys you see here, they still have a shot," Cora said. "Because of their versatility, the fact that they hit lefties or they play different positions."
And as for Shaw's poor numbers, Cora said he isn't putting too much stock into them.
"I think he's faced like 12 lefties. I hit him second the other day hoping he'd face three righties, and I think he faced one righty and two lefties, if Travis is there he's not going to face too many lefties," Cora said. "We know the player, we know the at bats, he did an amazing job with us last year, we know what he can do in that clubhouse too.
"It doesn't look good," Cora added of Shaw's spring numbers. "But at the same time that's how important the at bats are for me that that's the first time I really noticed. Just the quality of work and if it helps the roster be better then we'll go from there."
J.D. Martinez to play left field as Sox face Twins
The Red Sox will mix things up defensively on Thursday, with J.D. Martinez set to play left field while Alex Verdugo gets a day off his feet as designated hitter.
Boston's lineup will mostly feature projected starters, though Xander Bogaerts and Trevor Story are both out of the lineup after starting Wednesday. Michael Wacha is slated to start his second to last game of the spring, and Derek Holland, John Schreiber and Phillips Valdez are all scheduled to pitch as well.
First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. at jetBlue Park in Fort Myers, and while the game will not be broadcast on NESN fans can still follow along live via WEEI 850 AM. The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Kiké Hernández CF
- Rafael Devers 3B
- Christian Arroyo SS
- J.D. Martinez LF
- Alex Verdugo DH
- Bobby Dalbec 1B
- Christian Vázquez C
- Jackie Bradley Jr. RF
- Jonathan Araúz 2B
- Michael Wacha P
Story enjoys strong debut as Red Sox hold off Braves
Trevor Story's first game in a Red Sox uniform was a rousing success.
The newly signed infielder enjoyed a strong debut, going 1 for 2 with a walk and a RBI in Boston's 10-7 win over the Atlanta Braves. His first hit came in the bottom of the fourth, when he singled to drive in J.D. Martinez, and he said afterwards that he felt great and that he fully expects to be ready to go on Opening Day.
"It was fun to get out there and be with the boys and play in a real game," Story said. "Good to get that first one out of the way and felt good to just be in the flow of a game."
Story's performance was the highlight of what could only be described as an impressive showing by the club's starting lineup. In a preview of Boston's likely opening day lineup against New York, the Red Sox put up nine runs by the end of the fourth inning and had 17 batters reach base before the reserves started coming in midway through the game.
Boston batted around in the bottom of the first, with Rafael Devers hitting his fourth home run of the spring right out of the gate and Alex Verdugo eventually scoring after Jackie Bradley Jr. was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to make it 3-0. J.D. Martinez added an RBI single in the second, Christian Vazquez hit a two-run home run in the third, Jonathan Araúz hit a solo shot to open the fourth and then Story and Bobby Dalbec had back-to-back RBI singles shortly afterwards. Yolmer Sánchez had a sacrifice fly in the sixth to round out the scoring.
Things didn't go as smoothly for Boston on the mound. Tanner Houck, coming off a five walk performance his last time out, still had difficulty commanding his pitches. Though he didn't walk anyone and only allowed one run over four innings, Houck also hit three batters and had a wild pitch that later allowed Ozzie Albies to score on an Alex Dickerson sacrifice fly.
The bullpen fared considerably worse, however.
Kaleb Ort allowed four runs in the fifth, including a solo shot by Travis d'Arnaud and a three-run home run by Adam Duvall, and Ryan Fernandez gave up a solo blast by Dickerson immediately afterwards. Hirokazu Sawamura followed that with a scoreless sixth, and then Ryan Brasier and Matt Barnes each allowed three baserunners each during the seventh and eighth respectively. Matt Strahm finished the game with a scoreless ninth to wrap up the win.
Among the days' other highlights:
- Bobby Dalbec is having a terrific spring and he kept his momentum going with a 2 for 2 performance on Wednesday. He also drew a walk and is now batting .333 with a .667 slugging percentage in Grapefruit League play.
- Rafael Devers and J.D. Martinez both had two hits each on Wednesday. Devers also had a single in addition to his home run and is now batting .389 with a 1.056 OPS.
- Due to the shortened spring training, MLB approved a change allowing pitchers to re-enter spring training games after being pulled. That rule came into effect Wednesday when Atlanta starter Ian Anderson was pulled in the middle of the first inning after getting rocked, only to then return to pitch the second and get batted around some more. He wound up allowing six runs over two innings with seven hits, three walks, four strikeouts and two home runs allowed.
Hill, Whitlock still fighting for fifth starter job
The battle for Boston's No. 5 starter spot still hasn't been settled, and this Friday, Rich Hill and Garrett Whitlock are both slated to take the mound and state their case for the job.
Alex Cora said on Wednesday that Hill will start for the Red Sox against the Rays in Port Charlotte and that Whitlock will also start one of the minor league games on the back field.
While Cora was quick to emphasize that no decision has been made on the fifth starter, he did confirm that Whitlock will be available out of the bullpen on Opening Day against the New York Yankees.
"There's a good chance Whit is going to be available in that game with Nate, and we're trying to stretch him out," Cora said. "I don't want to let Boonie know what we're going to do but having Whit in the bullpen is going to benefit us."
Crawford in big league mix
By this point most of Boston's top prospects have been sent back to minor league camp to gear up for their upcoming seasons.
One of the few who hasn't? Kutter Crawford.
The righty, who turns 26 on Friday, remains with the big league club and has been among Boston's more impressive relief pitchers this spring. On Tuesday, Crawford regularly touched 97 on the radar gun while striking out five over two scoreless innings.
Crawford's performances have caught manager Alex Cora's eye, and he indicated that Crawford is still with the big league club for a reason.
"He's in the mix," Cora said. "Stuff-wise he's one of the best that we have. We still have a week, he still has a few more innings and we'll make decisions when we have to."
Story to debut as Sox host Braves
Trevor Story's long-awaited Red Sox debut is finally here.
The newest member of the Red Sox, who signed a six-year, $140 million contract last week, will finally play his first game in a Red Sox uniform Wednesday when the Red Sox host the Atlanta Braves at jetBlue Park. He will bat sixth and play second base as part of what should be the club's Opening Day lineup.
Tanner Houck will get the start in what should be his second to last warm-up before the regular season. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. and fans can watch live on NESN and listen on WEEI. The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Kiké Hernández CF
- Rafael Devers 3B
- Xander Bogaerts SS
- J.D. Martinez DH
- Alex Verdugo LF
- Trevor Story 2B
- Bobby Dalbec 1B
- Jackie Bradley Jr. RF
- Christian Vázquez C
- Tanner Houck P
Top prospects get late look in Sox loss to Pirates
In the final innings of Tuesday's 6-2 road loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates, Red Sox fans who made the trip to Bradenton got a potential glimpse into the future.
Top infield prospects Alex Binelas, Marcelo Mayer, Nick Yorke and Triston Casas all took the big league field together, offering a preview of what Boston's infield may look like at some point down the line.
Combined with fellow prospect Ceddanne Rafaela's two-run home run and some strong showings by pitching prospects Kaleb Ort and Kutter Crawford, there was a lot for fans to like even if the game itself didn't go Boston's way.
"It's great, you start looking at the future, obviously we live in the present but we're in a great spot organizational-wise," Cora said afterwards.
In the ninth inning Yorke drew a walk and later scored on Rafaela's home run, and the pitching prospects both shined with some impressive velocity. Ort pitched a perfect fifth inning to drop his ERA for the spring at 3.00, and Crawford touched 97 mph on the gun while striking out five batters over his two innings of work.
That's a welcome change for Cora, who said the club has made huge strides in terms of the depth of young talent it has coming up through the ranks.
"I still remember in '19 on the pitching side of it I was like wow our guys aren't throwing hard compared to others," Cora said. "Now it's the other way around, people are talking about us. We have a bunch of guys that are throwing 95-plus, throwing strikes ... you look around and we're in a great place."
Other notes from LECOM Park:
- Christian Arroyo got the start in right field and in the fourth inning made an impressive catch up against the wall. The play wasn't quite in home run robbery territory but it could have potentially been trouble for an inexperienced outfielder looking to expand his defensive capabilities ahead of the regular season. Alex Cora said afterwards that Arroyo is a good athlete and "he seems very comfortable, not every time is going to be like that but so far he's been solid."
- Newly signed relief pitcher Jake Diekman has struggled mightily since arriving in Boston, and on Tuesday he stumbled again, allowing a three-run home run during his inning of work. Diekman did also record two strikeouts and Cora said he's not concerned about the veteran lefty. "He's all over the place right now, not throwing enough strikes, but he's a veteran, he'll get it right," Cora said. "The stuff is still there, nothing to worry about."
- Kevin Plawecki and Franchy Cordero were Boston's two most prolific hitters at the plate on Tuesday, both tallying two hits on the day. Cordero also had a double that nearly scored Plawecki in the sixth, but the catcher was held at third, prompting a loud cry of disapproval from the heavily pro-Boston crowd.
Pivetta struggles against Pirates, says he's still on track despite shortened spring
In likely his penultimate spring training start, Nick Pivetta didn't have his best day.
Pivetta, who is in line to be the Red Sox No. 2 starter to open the season, allowed three walks and two home runs over four-plus innings of work, during which he also allowed three runs and five hits total plus five strikeouts.
Both of the home runs Pivetta gave up were solo shots, but the walks proved more troublesome. He surrendered back to back walks in the fourth, setting the table for Roberto Perez to rip an RBI double down the left field line. Then in the fifth he allowed a towering home run to Daniel Vogelbach and a third walk, and after that he got the hook.
Pivetta finished with 77 pitches, and after coming out of the game he made his way to the bullpen, where he threw another 10 pitches.
"I just wanted to get some more work in," Pivetta said in the clubhouse afterwards. "I didn't feel great in my mechanics today so I wanted to feel the ball more."
Pivetta said that while he didn't have full command he believes the issue is correctable and doesn't anticipate any problems going forward. He expects his next start to be six innings and that he is on schedule despite the shortened spring training.
"I'm right where I need to be," he said. "It's a shortened spring training, there's some things that we need to rush through to work on but other than that we'll all be ready for Opening Day."
No Story debut yet, Pivetta to start against Pirates
Trevor Story has returned to the Red Sox after spending the weekend away to be present for the birth of his first child, but after taking part in a simulated game on Monday he won't make his long awaited debut in a game just yet.
Story is not in the lineup Tuesday, and speaking to reporters in the clubhouse he said he's feeling great health-wise and that he and the team will figure out when he'll debut soon.
In the meantime, Nick Pivetta will take the hill after Nathan Eovaldi pitched in Monday's simulated game, keeping both in line for their respective start dates to open the regular season. Jake Diekman, Kutter Crawford and Kaleb Ort are Boston's other scheduled pitchers for Tuesday.
The Red Sox will take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton starting at 1:05 p.m. The game will not be televised on NESN but can be heard live on WEEI. The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox:
- Christian Arroyo RF
- Travis Shaw 1B
- Bobby Dalbec 3B
- Kevin Plawecki C
- Christin Stewart LF
- Ryan Refsnyder CF
- Franchy Cordero DH
- Yolmer Sánchez 2B
- Jonathan Araúz SS
- Nick Pivetta P
Red Sox make second round of cuts as season approaches
The Red Sox made their second round of cuts ahead of the start of the regular season, either optioning or reassigning 13 players to the minor leagues in order to keep a smaller group for the last two weeks before Opening Day.
Outfielder Jarren Duran and catchers Ronaldo Hernandez and Connor Wong, all of whom are on the 40-man roster, were optioned to Triple-A, and catchers Roldani Baldwin and Kole Cottam, infielders Ryan Fitzgerald and Roberto Ramos and pitchers Silvino Bracho, Taylor Cole, Michael Feliz, Darin Gillies, Geoff Hartlieb and Zack Kelly were reassigned to minor league camp. Functionally, all 13 will join their respective minor league clubs and finish spring training with them.
The moves leave the Red Sox with 39 players in big league camp, not including injured players like Chris Sale and Josh Taylor, and out of that total 13 are players who either weren't big league regulars last season or don't currently have big league contracts. That list includes pitchers Eduard Bazardo, Kutter Crawford, Ryan Fernandez, Tyler Danish, Derek Holland, Kaleb Ort, Hansel Robles and John Schreiber, catcher Deivy Grullon, infielder Yolmer Sanchez and outfielders Franchy Cordero, Rob Refsnyder, Christin Stewart.
The Red Sox will have an off day on Monday and will resume spring training preparations on Tuesday.
Duran shows off speed, scores from second on sac fly
Jarren Duran is fast. Really fast. And Sunday he once again showed off that speed in jaw-dropping fashion.
Standing at second base with Jonathan Araúz at third, Duran tagged up when Rafael Devers flied out to deep center field for what appeared to be a routine sacrifice fly. When Minnesota Twins center fielder Derek Fisher was slow to get the ball in, Duran took off running and didn't stop, making it all the way home to score on a rare two-run sac fly.
That was one of the few offensive highlights as the Twins beat the Red Sox 6-3.
Garrett Whitlock made his first career start as a member of the Red Sox organization, and later on fellow starting rotation candidate Rich Hill came on as well. Both Whitlock and Hill pitched three scoreless innings, with Whitlock allowing one hit and one walk with two strikeouts while Hill allowed just one hit with three strikeouts.
Boston's relief pitchers weren't quite as sharp, with Jake Diekman and Hirokazu Sawamura combining to allow five walks over 1.1 innings of work. Diekman came on after Whitlock in the fourth and after getting two quick outs allowed four straight baserunners, including a bases-loaded walk to score Gio Urshela. Sawamura pitched in the eighth and gave up five runs on three hits and two walks, including a three-run home run by Trevor Larnach.
Among the day's other highlights:
- The Red Sox only managed five hits on the day, two belonging to Ryan Refsnyder. Refsnyder had a single in the seventh and then hit a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning. J.D. Martinez, Araúz and Grantham Williams also tallied singles.
- Minnesota center fielder Derek Fisher had a tough sixth inning. Following Araúz's single, Fisher misplayed a deep fly ball by Kiké Hernández putting runners at second and third with no outs. Then, after Devers sent another deep ball his way, Fisher was lackadaisical in getting the ball back into the infield, giving the pinch runner Duran the opportunity to score all the way from second.
- The Red Sox will have their first and only off day of the Grapefruit League schedule on Monday. The club will be back in action on Tuesday in Bradenton against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Whitlock, Hill to continue competition for starting job
Garrett Whitlock and Rich Hill will each have another chance to stake their claim for a spot in the Red Sox starting rotation as the two take the hill in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins.
Whitlock is slated to get his first start as a member of the Red Sox organization, and Hill will take the mound once his day is done. According to the club, Jake Diekman, Hirokazu Sawamura and Darin Gillies are also scheduled to see action.
Offensively, the Red Sox will use their projected starters minus Trevor Story, who is away from the club for the weekend to be present for the birth of his child. The game will begin at 1:05 p.m. and will be carried live on NESN and WEEI.
The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Kiké Hernández CF
- Rafael Devers 3B
- Xander Bogaerts SS
- J.D. Martinez DH
- Alex Verdugo LF
- Bobby Dalbec 1B
- Christian Vazquez C
- Jackie Bradley Jr. RF
- Jonathan Araúz 2B
- Garrett Whitlock P
Sox hit four homers in win over Rays
The Red Sox bats got going in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays, with Sox hitters clubbing four home runs in the bounce back victory.
Rafael Devers went deep twice, hitting solo home runs in the bottom of the first and third innings, Jackie Bradley Jr. hit a two-run shot in the second and Kiké Hernández homered in the fifth.
Those four home runs accounted for all of Boston's scoring, and the club's four pitchers combined to hold Tampa Bay to three runs on six hits for the day. Here are all of the day's highlights:
- Michael Wacha had another impressive outing, allowing two runs on four hits over four innings of work. He only had one strikeout but did not allow a walk, and through two spring starts he now has a 2.57 ERA.
- Zack Kelly, a 27-year-old righty who has never pitched in the big leagues, had a strong inning of work in the top of the sixth. He erased a leadoff walk by getting Austin Meadows to ground into a double play and finished the inning with another groundout to third.
- Top Red Sox prospect Triston Casas made another appearance at first base late in the game. He drew a walk in his only plate appearance.
- During the game Boston lost a pair of players to waiver claims. Kyle Tyler, a right-handed reliever who was just claimed off waivers this week from the Los Angeles Angels, was subsequently designated for assignment and is now headed back out west after being claimed by the San Diego Padres. More notable is the loss of outfielder Jeisson Rosario to the New York Yankees. Rosario was one of the prospects acquired in the Mitch Moreland trade back in 2020 and was designated for assignment to clear space on the 40-man roster for Trevor Story.
Full big league lineup, minus Story, as Sox host Rays
Saturday will provide a preview of the Red Sox big league lineup, though the long awaited debut of Trevor Story will have to wait a couple more days.
Story, who was originally expected to make his first appearance in a Red Sox uniform today, won't play until at least Tuesday because he's away from the team to be present for the birth of his child. Christian Arroyo will start at second base in his place, and otherwise the Red Sox plan on using most of their other regulars.
Michael Wacha will start for the second time this spring, keeping him in line for the No. 4 spot in the rotation. Ryan Brasier, Phillips Valdez, Zack Kelly and Darin Gillies are all scheduled to pitch Saturday as well, and Garrett Whitlock will get the start on Sunday.
The game is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. at jetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Florida and will be broadcast on NESN+ and WEEI. The full Red Sox lineups are as follows:
Red Sox
- Kiké Hernández CF
- Rafael Devers 3B
- Xander Bogaerts SS
- J.D. Martinez DH
- Alex Verdugo LF
- Bobby Dalbec 1B
- Christian Arroyo 2B
- Jackie Bradley Jr. RF
- Kevin Plawecki C
- Michael Wacha P
Methuen's Wallace makes spring debut as Sox lose
A well known face to local baseball fans made a surprise cameo for the Red Sox early in Friday's spring training game against the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves, as Methuen's Jacob Wallace made his debut with the big league club in the team's 6-3 loss.
Wallace, a former Methuen High standout who went on to star at UConn, came on in relief of starter Tanner Houck and recorded two outs to finish the third inning. Houck wasn't particularly sharp, allowing three runs on two hits and five walks, and after allowing five baserunners to start the third Wallace was summoned to clean up the mess with one out and the bases loaded.
Though Wallace did allow a run to score on a sacrifice fly by Ozzie Albies, he got Adam Duvall to fly out to end the inning without further incident.
Wallace's outing was among a handful of intriguing pitching performances on the day. He was followed immediately by fellow UConn alumnus Matt Barnes, who pitched a dominant fourth inning by striking out all three batters he faced. Top prospect Brayan Bello also made his spring debut with the big league club, pitching a perfect eighth with two ground outs and a strikeout.
Austin Davis and Frank German, the prospect acquired alongside Adam Ottavino from the Yankees last offseason, also had scoreless appearances, though Darwinzon Hernandez got roughed up in his 1.1 innings of work.
Among the day's other highlights:
- Jarren Duran bounced back from Thursday's rough outing with a strong 2 for 3 performance. Duran is now batting .353 on the spring.
- Christian Arroyo scored a run in the top of the fifth with a single that was misplayed by the right fielder. Tyler Dearden had an RBI single in the top of the ninth and Christian Koss had an RBI groundout shortly afterwards to wrap up the scoring.
- With Austin Davis and Darwinzon Hernandez in a competition for the third lefty spot in the bullpen behind Jake Diekman and Matt Strahm, Davis definitely came out of Friday in stronger position. Davis had a strikeout and a walk in a relatively uneventful inning of work and has yet to allow an earned run this spring, while Hernandez gave up three runs on five hits and two walks with one strikeout in 1.1 innings, bumping his spring ERA up to 11.57.
Houck, Bello to take hill as Red Sox face Braves
One of the Red Sox most intriguing young arms will take the mound for the first time this spring this afternoon.
Brayan Bello, the club's Minor League Starting Pitcher of the Year in 2021 and one of the organization's fastest rising prospects, is scheduled to make an appearance Thursday afternoon against the Atlanta Braves. Tanner Houck will make his second start of the spring and Matt Barnes, Austin Davis and Darwinzon Hernandez are also slated to see action. Michael Wacha will get the start tomorrow.
Christian Arroyo, who had been battling a right thumb contusion in recent days, is back in the lineup and will lead off for the Red Sox. Travis Shaw and Christian Vazquez are the other big league regulars set to start, and spring training sensation Ryan Fitzgerald is slated to play third base.
The game will begin at 1:05 p.m. and will not be broadcast on NESN. Fans can listen to the game on WEEI. The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Christian Arroyo SS
- Jarren Duran CF
- Travis Shaw 1B
- Christian Vazquez C
- Roberto Ramos DH
- Ryan Refsnyder RF
- Christin Stewart LF
- Jonathan Araúz 2B
- Ryan Fitzgerald 3B
- Tanner Houck P
Top prospects make spring debuts as Sox lose to Orioles
Red Sox fans got a quick introduction to a few of the club's top prospects as the Red Sox dropped Thursday's night game to the Baltimore Orioles 8-5.
Marcelo Mayer, Nick Yorke and Alex Binelas all made their debuts with the big league club. Mayer, last year's No. 4 overall pick, went 0 for 1 with a walk and a strikeout. Yorke, Boston's top pick from 2020 and the organization's fastest rising minor leaguer, went 0 for 2 with a strikeout. And Binelas, one of the prospects acquired in last winter's Hunter Renfroe trade, got the start at third base and went 1 for 2 with a strikeout.
Nick Pivetta, making his second start of the spring, had an up and down day. Pivetta went 3.2 innings and allowed four runs (only two earned) on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts. He also gave up two home runs, both solo shots in the third and fourth innings respectively. The Orioles also tagged new reliever Jake Diekman for a three-run home run in his first appearance with the Red Sox, though fellow newcomer Matt Strahm pitched a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.
The Red Sox had three home runs in the game as well. Kiké Hernández led off the game with a solo shot in the first, Ryan Fitzgerald hit a two-run shot for his fourth homer of the spring in the second, and Nick Northcut had a solo home run in the eighth. Boston's other run came courtesy of a Kevin Plawecki RBI single in the top of the fifth, which tied the game at 4-4 before the Orioles pulled ahead for good on Ryan McKenna's homer off Diekman.
Among the day's other highlights:
- Jarren Duran had a tough day at the plate, going 0 for 3 with three strikeouts. Overall he's still having a solid spring, batting .286 with a .412 on-base percentage.
- Hirokazu Sawamura had a noteworthy performance in the bottom of the seventh, pitching a scoreless inning while recording all three outs via strikeout. He did also allow a hit and a walk.
- The Red Sox further bolstered their minor league pitching depth on Thursday, claiming right-handed pitcher Ralph Garza off waivers from the Minnesota Twins. Boston designated reliever Kyle Tyler for assignment to clear space on the 40-man roster, days after the Red Sox also claimed Tyler from the Angels in similar fashion.
Red Sox to face Orioles in rare spring night game
The Red Sox will be playing under the lights tonight in a rare spring training nightcap, as the club heads up to Sarasota to face the Baltimore Orioles.
Weather permitting, Nick Pivetta will make his second start of the spring for the Red Sox, whose lineup will feature big league regulars Kiké Hernández and Kevin Plawecki.
Boston is also slated to start third baseman Alex Binelas, one of the prospects acquired in the Hunter Renfroe trade prior to the lockout, and top prospects Marcelo Mayer and Nick Yorke are also slated to make the trip.
Though the game will not be broadcast on NESN, fans can stream the game live on MLB.TV and listen on WEEI starting at 6:05 p.m. The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Kiké Hernández CF
- Jarren Duran LF
- Kevin Plawecki C
- Travis Shaw DH
- Ryan Refsnyder RF
- Roberto Ramos 1B
- Jonathan Araúz SS
- Ryan Fitzgerald 2B
- Alex Binelas 3B
- Nick Pivetta P
Eovaldi, Fitzgerald shine as Red Sox lose to Twins
The Red Sox may be unbeaten no more, but the fans had plenty of reason to go home happy after Wednesday's 10-4 loss to the Minnesota Twins.
First was the performance of Nathan Eovaldi. Making his second start of the spring, Eovaldi was in complete control. The Red Sox opening day starter looked regular season ready as he pitched four scoreless innings with no hits, no walks and six strikeouts.
Rafael Devers, fresh off agreeing to a $11.2 million salary for the upcoming season to avoid arbitration, made a handful of excellent defensive plays at third base and hit a solo home run in the bottom of the sixth. Then in the seventh, his defensive replacement Ryan Fitzgerald blasted a three-run home run to left-center field. It was Fitzgerald's third homer of the spring, bolstering his case for a spot on the big league roster.
That home run tied the game at 4-4, but after that the Twins pounced on Boston's relievers and pulled away. Here are the day's other notable developments.
- Christian Arroyo was a late scratch from the starting lineup due to a right thumb contusion. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he will likely be out for a couple of days.
- Reliever Ryan Brasier and prospect Connor Seabold didn't have their best days on the mound. Brasier was tagged for four runs on four hits in 0.2 innings of work in the fifth, including a three-run home run by Trevor Larnach. Later on, Seabold allowed five runs on two hits and three walks without recording an out, forcing Tyler Danish to come on and finish the last two innings.
- Former Red Sox first-round pick Jay Groome, who is hoping to reach the majors this year after a litany of setbacks throughout his minor league journey, looked good in his inning of relief. Groome pitched a perfect sixth, finishing the frame by striking out big league regular Max Kepler.
After the game the Red Sox also announced their first series of spring roster cuts. Infielder Jeter Downs and pitchers Bryan Mata, Josh Winckowski, Seabold and Groome were all optioned to Triple-A Worcester, and first baseman Triston Casas, infielders David Hamilton and Christian Koss, and pitchers Durbin Feltman, Brian Keller and Chris Murphy were all reassigned to minor league camp.
Red Sox officially introduce Trevor Story
Trevor Story is officially a member of the Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox announced the signing of the two-time all-star and held a press conference welcoming him to Boston at jetBlue Park on Wednesday morning. During the 20-minute introduction Story donned his new jersey for the first time and expressed his gratitude to the club for bringing him aboard.
"This is really a dream come true for me, to play for an organization like Boston," Story said. "This has been a true privilege for me and my family. They've already made us feel like we're at home here and at the end of the day this comes down to winning, and we felt this was a great fit for me and my family and I'm so looking forward to this opportunity to get on the field and chase this championship."
Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom said during the conference that Story was a player they had circled from the outset as someone they wanted to add. Manager Alex Cora said they first made contact all the way back in November, and Bloom said that with Story on board the Red Sox will improve in all aspects of the game, including defense and base running.
"Trevor's work on the field speaks for itself," Bloom said. "He's been one of the most dynamic players in the game."
Story said he's comfortable moving to second base, adding that he has some experience playing the position in the minor leagues, and also that he's looking forward to hitting at Fenway Park.
He also confirmed that a number of Red Sox players, including shortstop Xander Bogaerts, reached out to him and encouraged him to come to Boston.
"Bogey been amazing throughout the process of me coming here," Story said. "He reached out to me, we talked on the phone a little bit, those things will stay between us, but he didn't have to do that and I think it shows his character and speaks to the kind of guy he is. He wants to win and he wanted me to come here, and it made me feel comfortable off the jump."
Story will wear No. 10 as a member of the Red Sox. To make room on the 40-man roster the club announced it has designated prospect Jeisson Rosario for assignment.
Rosario, an outfielder, was one of the prospects acquired in the 2020 Mitch Moreland trade. The other prospect from that deal, Hudson Potts, was also designated for assignment yesterday.
Eovaldi set to make second start of spring
Nathan Eovaldi will be back on the mound for his second start of spring training today, as the Red Sox host the Minnesota Twins at jetBlue Park.
Eovaldi will lead what should more or less be the regular season starting lineup, with all of the projected starters besides new arrival Trevor Story slated to start. Christian Arroyo was originally intended to bat ninth and play second, but he was a late scratch so Yolmer Sanchez will fill those roles instead.
The game will begin at 1:05 p.m. and will be broadcast live on NESN and on WEEI. The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Kiké Hernández CF
- Rafael Devers 3B
- Xander Bogaerts SS
- J.D. Martinez DH
- Alex Verdugo LF
- Bobby Dalbec 1B
- Jackie Bradley Jr. RF
- Christian Vazquez C
- Yolmer Sanchez 2B
- Nathan Eovaldi P
Red Sox reportedly avoid arbitration with Devers, others
The Red Sox have reportedly reached agreements with all five of their arbitration-eligible players on new salaries for the upcoming season, a list that most notably includes Rafael Devers.
In doing so, the Red Sox and those players will not need to go to an arbitration hearing in the middle of the season to determine their pay for 2022.
According to reports by ESPN's Kiley McDaniel, MLB Network's Jon Heyman, MLB.com's Mark Feinsand and the Boston Globe's Alex Speier, the Red Sox will pay Devers $11.2 million in 2022, Alex Verdugo $3.55 million, Nick Pivetta $2.65 million, Christian Arroyo $1.2 million and Josh Taylor $1.025 million.
Another agreement that will interest local fans, the San Francisco Giants and Andover's Mike Yastrzemski agreed to a $3.7 million salary for the upcoming season. That total is by far the highest salary of the 31-year-old former St. John's Prep star's career and is nearly triple his career earnings between 2019-21.
Among the other notable arbitration settlements from around baseball, the New York Mets agreed to a $10.2 million salary with Edwin Diaz and $7.4 million with slugger Pete Alonso, Philadelphia reached an agreement with Rhys Hoskins ($7.7 million), Milwaukee with Brandon Woodruff ($6.8 million) and NL Cy Young Award winner Corbin Burnes ($6.5 million), the New York Yankees with shortstop Gleyber Torres ($6.25 million) and Cleveland with ace Shane Bieber ($6 million).
Sox claim Tyler, designate Potts for assignment
The Red Sox bolstered their minor league pitching depth on Tuesday, claiming right-hander Kyle Tyler off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels and optioning him to Triple-A Worcester.
In order to make room on the 40-man roster, the Red Sox cut bait with one of the prospects acquired in the Mitch Moreland trade from 2020, designating infielder Hudson Potts for assignment.
Tyler, originally a 20th round pick out of Oklahoma in the 2018 MLB Draft, spent most of 2021 with Triple-A Salt Lake and Double-A Rocket City in the Angels system. The 25-year-old made his major league debut down the stretch and posted a 2.92 ERA in five relief appearances with the Angels.
Potts, 23, played in 78 games at Double-A Portland in 2021, batting .217 with 11 home runs and 47 RBI while primarily playing third base. He was acquired alongside outfielder Jeisson Rosario from the San Diego Padres in exchange for Moreland and appeared in five Grapefruit League games for the Red Sox this spring.
Hill, Whitlock shine as Red Sox stay unbeaten on spring
The games may be meaningless but the Red Sox kept rolling on Tuesday, beating the Tampa Bay Rays 4-2 to stay unbeaten on the spring.
Rich Hill and Garrett Whitlock, both competing for a spot in the Red Sox starting rotation, each turned in two scoreless innings to lead the way. Hill allowed two hits with a walk and two strikeouts to earn the win, and Whitlock had three hits and two walks along with three strikeouts while hitting as high as 98 mph on the radar gun.
The Red Sox also got a good showing from Matt Barnes, who pitched a perfect fifth in relief of Whitlock with one strikeout, and lefty Austin Davis also helped his case for a spot in the bullpen with two scoreless innings to close out the save.
Among the day's other highlights:
- Bobby Dalbec kept his hot spring going with a two-run double in the top of the third. Dalbec, who got the start at third base, finished 1 for 2 with no walks or strikeouts and now has a .444 average and 1.222 OPS on the spring.
- Catching prospect Ronaldo Hernandez made his first appearance of the spring and delivered an RBI single in the top of the seventh. Hernandez spent last season at Double-A and has quickly risen through the ranks as one of the organization's top prospects.
- Wil Dalton hit a solo home run for Boston in the top of the eighth. The 24-year-old outfielder was an eighth round pick out of Florida in the 2019 MLB Draft and moved from Low-A Salem up to Double-A Portland over the course of last season.
Hill to make first start as rotation competition intensifies
Heading into the new season the Red Sox starting rotation is beginning to take shape. Nathan Eovaldi, Nick Pivetta and Tanner Houck are in, and eventually Chris Sale will factor in as well once his rib injury heals.
That leaves two spots open and three realistic contenders, and today Rich Hill will look to make his case.
The 42-year-old veteran is set to make his first start of the spring, taking the mound in Boston's sixth spring training game against the Tampa Bay Rays. He will be joined by a handful of big league regulars in the lineup, including Christian Arroyo, Bobby Dalbec, Travis Shaw and Kevin Plawecki.
The game will begin at 1:05 p.m. in Port Charlotte, and while the game won't be televised on NESN fans can steam it on MLB.TV and hear it live on WEEI. The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Christian Arroyo 2B
- Jarren Duran CF
- Bobby Dalbec 3B
- Travis Shaw 1B
- Kevin Plawecki C
- Franchy Cordero RF
- Ryan Refsnyder LF
- Roberto Ramos DH
- Jonathan Araúz 2B
- Rich Hill P
Sox beat Braves to stay unbeaten on spring
The Red Sox are still perfect to start spring training, beating the Atlanta Braves 5-0 on Monday to improve to 5-0 in the Grapefruit League.
Michael Wacha pitched three scoreless innings in his first outing of the spring, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out one. He was followed by five relief pitchers who combined to complete the shutout, with John Schreiber turning in the most notable performance with four strikeouts over two innings.
Christian Vazquez gave the Red Sox the lead with an RBI double in the bottom of the first. Boston tacked on two more in the fifth courtesy of a Ryan Refsnyder RBI double and an RBI infield single by Rafael Devers, another in the seventh after Jonathan Araúz scored on a throwing error and then Ryan Fitzgerald hit a solo home run in the eighth to wrap up the scoring.
Among the day's highlights:
- Ryan Fitzgerald has been one of the best performers of the spring for the Red Sox. With his 1 for 2 effort and his home run Fitzgerald is now batting .429 with a 1.286 OPS through the first five games of camp.
- Jarren Duran has been another bright spot. He went 2 for 2 with a run scored to bring his average on the spring to .571.
- Darwinzon Hernandez, who is battling for a spot in the Red Sox bullpen, had a perfect fourth inning after coming on in relief of Wacha, striking out all three batters he faced.
Hernández to make spring debut for Sox
Kiké Hernández will be in the Red Sox starting lineup for the first time this spring today against the Atlanta Braves.
The Red Sox lineup will lean heavily on big leaguers to start, with Hernández being joined by Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts, J.D. Martinez, Christian Vazquez and Jackie Bradley Jr. Travis Shaw is also slated to get the start at first base as he competes for a spot on the big league roster.
Michael Wacha, who is competing for one of two remaining spots in the rotation with Rich Hill and Garrett Whitlock, will get his first start of the spring. Today's game will not be broadcast on NESN but can be heard live on WEEI.
The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox:
- Kiké Hernández CF
- Rafael Devers 3B
- Xander Bogaerts SS
- J.D. Martinez DH
- Christian Vázquez C
- Travis Shaw 1B
- Jackie Bradley Jr. RF
- Jarren Duran LF
- Yolmer Sánchez 2B
- Michael Wacha P
Cora says Houck likely in starting rotation
The Red Sox starting rotation is starting to take shape, and it appears Tanner Houck is in.
Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters on Sunday that the second-year big leaguer will most likely be part of the starting rotation when the season begins in April. Houck, who allowed one run over 2.2 innings in his spring debut, is expected to slot in behind Nathan Eovaldi and Nick Pivetta during the initial turn through the rotation.
Houck spent time in the rotation during the second half last summer and for his career has a 2.93 ERA and 108 strikeouts over 86 big league innings, including 16 starts. Last season, he posted a 3.52 ERA and at one point had a stretch where he recorded 30 consecutive outs between the end of the regular season and start of the playoffs.
Sunday he was a little shaky, allowing a solo home run in the first inning with three walks, but did not allow any additional hits and had two strikeouts in his first action of 2022. The Red Sox would go on to beat the Baltimore Orioles 3-2 to improve to 4-0 on the spring.
Among the day's highlights:
- Several top pitching prospects got work in relief behind Houck. Kutter Crawford, Josh Winckowski, Tyler Danish and Eduard Bazardo all pitched scoreless innings with two strikeouts each, Taylor Cole had a perfect inning and Durbin Feltman allowed a solo home run to start the eighth but bounced back with three quick outs afterwards.
- Boston scored all three of its runs in the bottom of the third. Christian Arroyo had an RBI double to score Kevin Plawecki, Xander Bogaerts followed with an RBI double to score Arroyo and J.D. Martinez brought home Rafael Devers with an RBI single.
- Jackie Bradley Jr. made a brilliant defensive play in the top of the second inning, catching a flyout from Robert Neustrom in center field before throwing out Kelvin Gutierrez at home for a double play.
Instant Analysis: Story signing checks all the boxes for Red Sox
The Red Sox have their man.
According to multiple reports top free agent infielder Trevor Story is signing with the Red Sox on a six-year, $140 million deal. It is the largest free agent contract the Red Sox have given under Chaim Bloom's regime by a huge margin and the largest by any Red Sox free agent signing since David Price in 2016.
Story will reportedly play second base in Boston after spending his entire career playing shortstop with the Colorado Rockies. Here are some quick thoughts on the big signing:
This year's missing piece: Last year, the Red Sox were two wins away from reaching the World Series, and coming into the weekend this year's roster stacked up well against that one, with one notable exception. The club never replaced Kyle Schwarber's and Hunter Renfroe's production in the lineup, and without a big move it would have been tough to imagine the Red Sox being able to keep up with the Blue Jays, Rays or Yankees.
Now? The Red Sox have the bats they need to compete.
Story gives the Red Sox a big jolt and will allow them to maximize their championship window with the club's current core. Nathan Eovaldi, J.D. Martinez and potentially Xander Bogaerts are all set to hit free agency this coming offseason, so it would have been bitterly disappointing — both for fans and the players themselves — if the club hadn't acted with any kind of urgency. The Story signing more than assuages those concerns.
Fitting into long-term puzzle: Beyond the impact he'll have on this year's club, Story is a building block who fits perfectly into the team's long-term timeframe. With so many key players' futures in Boston clouded, having Story locked up for six years gives the team a pillar to build around. He also provides essential insurance for Bogaerts, who will likely opt out of his contract this coming offseason to seek a bigger deal on the open market.
If Bogaerts stays, he and Story will give the Red Sox one of the best middle infields in baseball for years to come. If not, then Story can move to shortstop and the Red Sox can rest easy knowing that position will be in good hands no matter what.
The price is right: Story isn't coming to Boston cheap, but in the grand scheme of things his contract doesn't look like it should ever become an albatross. At six years, $140 million, Story will average $23.3 million per year, substantially less than the $35 million per year deal Carlos Correa just signed with the Minnesota Twins.
The contract is a little bit more complicated than usual given that it reportedly has an opt out after year four that the Red Sox can void by adding a seventh year, but either way, the deal looks like a big win for both sides.
Red Sox reportedly reach agreement with top free agent Trevor Story
The Red Sox have reportedly reached an agreement to sign free agent infielder Trevor Story.
According to USA Today's Bob Nightengale and others, the Red Sox are in agreement with Story, the top remaining free agent on the market. A power-hitting shortstop, Story would presumably play second base in Boston and would immediately provide a boost to the Red Sox lineup.
The deal is reportedly for six years, $140 million, and according to ESPN's Jeff Passan includes an opt-out after year four. The Red Sox could also void the opt out by picking up a seventh-year option, which would increase the deal's total value to $160 million.
Story is coming off a 2021 season in which he hit 24 home runs with 75 RBI, an .801 OPS and 20 stolen bases for the Colorado Rockies. Since making his big league debut in 2016 Story ranks 11th in baseball among all position plays in wins above replacement (26.7) and overall he has 158 home runs and 450 RBI in six seasons, including two all-star nods, two Silver Sluggers and three down-ballot MVP finishes.
By adding Story, the Red Sox offset some of the offensive production lost by Kyle Schwarber, who signed with the Philadelphia Phillies earlier this week, and Hunter Renfroe, who was traded to Milwaukee for Jackie Bradley Jr. and two prospects just prior to the lockout.
Big league flavor in Sunday's Red Sox lineup
After leaning heavily on their non-roster invitees and minor leaguers for the first few games of spring training, the Red Sox are going with something much more closely resembling their regular season lineup in today's game against the Baltimore Orioles.
Rafael Devers, Xander Bogaerts, J.D. Martinez and Alex Verdugo will all be in the middle of the lineup for Boston, with Verdugo making his spring debut after being a late scratch on Saturday. Bobby Dalbec, who has two home runs on the spring so far, is also back in the lineup and will play first base.
Tanner Houck is set to make his first start of the spring, and with Chris Sale sidelined with a rib injury has an opportunity to establish himself in the starting rotation to begin the year.
The game begins at 1:05 p.m. and will be carried live on NESN and WEEI. The full Red Sox lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Christian Arroyo 2B
- Rafael Devers 3B
- Xander Bogaerts SS
- J.D. Martinez DH
- Alex Verdugo LF
- Bobby Dalbec 1B
- Jackie Bradley Jr. CF
- Kevin Plawecki C
- Franchy Cordero RF
- Tanner Houck P
Pivetta throws three perfect innings as Sox beat Twins
Nick Pivetta couldn't have gotten his spring off to a better start Saturday, throwing three perfect innings in his 2022 debut.
Pivetta struck out five, including all three batters he faced in the second, and only allowed one ball to leave the infield over his three innings of work. He and five other Red Sox pitchers combined for a shutout in Boston's 1-0 win over the Minnesota Twins.
The lone run of the game came in the seventh when Ryan Fitzgerald hit a solo home run to right field. Fitzgerald has been one of the standouts so far this spring, going 2 for 4 with a home run, three RBI, two walks and no strikeouts through Boston's first three games.
Among the day's highlights:
- Red Sox batters only managed four hits against Minnesota pitching, but one of those belonged to top prospect Jarren Duran. The centerfielder batted lead off and finished 1 for 2 with a walk.
- Relievers Austin Davis and Phillips Valdez both made their first appearances of the spring, each throwing scoreless innings with two strikeouts each.
- The Red Sox got into trouble in the bottom of the ninth when the Twins, trailing by one, loaded the bases with two outs. Things got dicey after right fielder Izzy Wilson lost a fly ball in the sun that would have been the second out of the inning, but after walking the bases loaded on four pitches Thomas Pannone recovered by forcing former Red Sox farmhand Cole Sturgeon to fly out to end the game.
- Following Pivetta's outing today, Tanner Houck is slated to get the start for Boston next tomorrow.
Nick Pivetta set to debut as Sox face Twins
Nick Pivetta will make his first start of the spring Saturday as the Red Sox travel across Fort Myers to face the Minnesota Twins.
Pivetta, slated to be Boston's No. 2 starter entering the season with Chris Sale injured, will throw to catcher Christian Vazquez, who is also making his spring debut. Kevin Plawecki and top prospects Jarren Duran and Jeter Downs will also be back in the lineup.
Alex Verdugo, originally slated to play left field and bat second, was a late scratch. He will reportedly hit on the back fields and play Sunday instead.
The game will start at 1:05 p.m. and will be carried live on NESN and WEEI. The Red Sox full lineup is as follows:
Red Sox
- Jarren Duran CF
- Ceddanne Rafaela LF
- Kevin Plawecki DH

Red Sox reportedly re-sign reliever Hansel Robles
The Red Sox are reportedly bringing back relief pitcher Hansel Robles.
According to Univision's Mike Rodriguez and others the Red Sox are in agreement with the right-handed reliever pending a physical. Robles originally joined the Red Sox at last summer's trade deadline and went on to post a 3.60 ERA with 33 strikeouts in 25 innings. Including his first half with the Minnesota Twins, Robles appeared in 72 games in 2021 with a 4.43 ERA, 14 saves and 76 strikeouts in 69 innings.
Overall Robles is entering his eighth big league season and has a 4.00 ERA in 385 career appearances dating back to 2015. Once official Robles will become the third free agent reliever to sign with Boston since the end of the lockout, joining lefties Matt Strahm and Jake Diekman.
Eovaldi sharp in debut as Koss delivers walk-off home run
Christian Koss had himself a day on Friday, hitting two home runs including a walk-off solo shot to give the Red Sox a 7-6 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Red Sox infield prospect stole the show on a day where many of Boston's big league regulars made their spring debuts. Among those were Nathan Eovaldi, the Red Sox Opening Day starter, who allowed two runs on three hits over three innings of work.
Eovaldi retired the first six batters he faced, striking out three through the first two innings, before running into trouble in the top of the third. He allowed two doubles, the latter being an RBI liner by Esteban Quiroz, and later an RBI single by Josh Lowe before getting a ground out to end the inning. He threw 42 pitches overall and is expected to get three more spring starts before opening the season against the New York Yankees on April 7.
After the Rays took a 3-0 lead in the top of the fourth, Bobby Dalbec tied it up with a three-run home run in the bottom of the frame, his second in two games so far this spring. Tyler Esplin batted into a fielder's choice to make it 4-3 Boston in the sixth, Tampa Bay's Ford Proctor hit a three-run home run in the seventh and Boston tied it up in the eighth after Koss hit his first home run and Tyreque Reed followed with an RBI single to center.
Among the day's other highlights:
- Victor Santos, acquired in last summer's C.J. Chatham trade with Philadelphia, pitched his way out of a jam in the top of the ninth. After getting two strikeouts to start the inning he allowed a walk and a double to put two men in scoring position with the game tied 6-6, but subsequently forced a ground out to first to end the inning and set up Koss's walk-off heroics.
- Jackie Bradley Jr. (0 for 2, walk), Christian Arroyo (2 for 2, run), Rafael Devers (1 for 2, run), Xander Bogaerts (0 for 2) and Kevin Plawecki (0 for 2) all made their spring debuts for the Red Sox, playing roughly the first half of the game before coming out for substitutes.
- In addition to his two home runs, Christian Koss also had a sixth-inning single. He finished 3 for 3 with two runs and two RBI.
- Tyreque Reed is having a nice start for the Red Sox this spring. He's now 3 for 4 with four RBI through Boston's first two games.
Eovaldi to start Friday as Sox big leaguers make spring debuts
After fielding primarily minor leaguers and reserves in Thursday's spring training opener, numerous Red Sox big leaguers are expected to make their spring debuts in Friday's tilt against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Nathan Eovaldi will get the start on the mound while Jackie Bradley Jr., Christian Arroyo, Rafael Devers and Kevin Plawecki all make their first appearances of spring training. Bobby Dalbec, the only big league regular to appear in Thursday's game, is in the lineup again and will make his first start at first base.
Today's game will begin at 1:05 p.m. and will be carried live on NESN and WEEI. The full lineups are as follows:
Red Sox

Red Sox bring back Shaw, Grullón as non-roster invitees
The Red Sox have brought back a pair of familiar faces for spring training.
Friday morning the club announced that it has added first baseman Travis Shaw and catcher Deivy Grullón as non-roster invitees. Shaw is well known to Red Sox fans after spending parts of three seasons with the club, including the second half of last year, and Grullón previously spent time in the Red Sox minor league system as well.
Originally drafted by the Red Sox in 2011, Shaw made his big league debut with Boston in 2015 and hit 29 home runs with 107 RBI over 210 games between 2015-16. He was later traded to the Milwaukee Brewers prior to the 2017 season and spent most of the following five years with the club before returning to Boston last August as a waiver signing.
Upon his return Shaw primarily saw action as a left-handed bat off the bench, appearing in 28 games down the stretch while recording a .843 OPS. His most notable moment came when he hit a walk-off grand slam in a win over the Texas Rangers shortly after his return.
With the addition of Shaw and Grullón the Red Sox now have 25 non-roster invitees at camp.
Dalbec homers as Red Sox rout Twins in spring training opener
Bobby Dalbec only needed one swing to set the tone for spring training.
The second year Red Sox first baseman went deep on the first pitch he saw in Boston's spring opener, smashing a two-run home run in what wound up being a 14-1 rout of the Minnesota Twins.
Dalbec served as designated hitter and finished 1 for 2 on the day. He is expected to see more time at second base and in the outfield this spring along with his usual first and third base duties.
Prior to Dalbec's shot, Jarren Duran led off the first inning by legging out an infield single in his first at bat of the spring, and later on Ryan Fitzgerald added a two-run single to make it 4-0. The Red Sox went on to score two runs in the fifth, two in the seventh and then six in the eighth to blow the game open.
Among the day's highlights:
- Top prospect Jeter Downs had a nice sequence in the fifth where he advanced from first to third on a tough sinking liner that barely dropped in, and he later took home after a poor throw from the catcher on a stolen base attempt bounced off the rubber.
- Franchy Cordero, Yolmer Sanchez, Elih Marrero and Tyreque Reed all had strong days at the plate, tallying two hits each. Marrero and Reed also had three RBI each, with Marrero lacing a bases-loaded double while Reed had a two-run ground-rule double and an RBI single. Roldani Baldwin had a fifth-inning sacrifice fly and Nick Sogard wrapped up the scoring late with a two-run double in the eighth.
- David Hamilton, one of the prospects acquired from Milwaukee in the Hunter Renfroe trade, made his Red Sox debut. He walked twice and scored on Marrero's three-run double.
- Eight Red Sox pitchers combined to allow only one run on two hits over nine innings. The most notable performance came courtesy of A.J. Politi, a right-handed prospect who spent last year at Double-A who pitched 1.1 scoreless innings with two strikeouts and no hits or walks allowed.

Eovaldi will start opening day, rest of rotation uncertain
Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Wednesday that Nathan Eovaldi will be the club's opening day starter, but the rest of the rotation is still a "work in progress."
With Chris Sale expected to miss the start of the regular season with a stress fracture in his rib, the Red Sox will be forced to lean on their rotation depth more than expected early on. Cora said the team will extend young pitchers Tanner Houck and Garrett Whitlock as much as possible to prepare them for potential starting roles, and others like Nick Pivetta, Rich Hill and Michael Wacha are expected to figure in right away.
In the more immediate future, Cora said that Thursday's spring training opener will be a bullpen game and that Eovaldi and Pivetta will make their debuts on Friday and Saturday respectively.
Other news and notes from Wednesday:
- Diekman signing official: The Red Sox have officially announced the previously reported signing of left-handed relief pitcher Jake Diekman. The former Oakland Athletic signed for two-years, $8 million with a club option for 2024. To make room on the 40-man roster the Red Sox also moved injured starting pitcher James Paxton to the 60-day injured list. The Red Sox also announced the signing of fellow lefty Matt Strahm on Tuesday.
- Sox sign Altavilla: The Red Sox bolstered their minor league pitching depth by signing right-handed pitcher Dan Altavilla to a two-year contract. Altavilla is coming off Tommy John surgery and made two appearances with the San Diego Padres in 2021.
- MLB announces revised schedule: The first week of games originally planned for March 31 to April 6 have officially been rescheduled. The original season-opening home series against the Tampa Bay Rays will now be played at the end of the season from Oct. 3-5, and the home series against the Baltimore Orioles planned for April 4-6 will now be made up as part of a double-header on May 28 and with added games on Aug. 11 and Sept. 26.
- Boston Strong: The Red Sox once again plan to wear their "Boston" home white uniforms on Patriots Day, and in the games leading up to Marathon Monday on April 16-17 the club will wear their yellow, marathon-inspired City Connect uniforms.
Sale to miss start of season with stress fracture in rib
Chris Sale has a stress fracture in his right ribcage and won't be ready to start the regular season, Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom announced on Wednesday.
Speaking to reporters in Florida, Bloom said the injury occurred while Sale was throwing a pitch during a live batting practice session at Florida Gulf Coast University over the lockout. He is not currently throwing and likely won't be able to begin ramp up in the immediate future.
"We're talking weeks, not days, when we can get a baseball in his hands," Bloom said, adding later that Sale has shown improvement since arriving at camp.
The injury is the latest setback for Sale, who is also working his way back from Tommy John surgery. The big lefty missed almost two full years due to that injury and was not his usual dominant self upon his return to the mound last August.
With Sale sidelined, the Red Sox will dip deeper into their starting rotation depth. In addition to returning starters Nathan Eovaldi and Nick Pivetta, the club also added Rich Hill and Michael Wacha in the offseason, and young up-and-comers Tanner Houck and Garrett Whitlock could earn more prominent roles as well.
Sox face tough competition as AL East rivals load up
The Red Sox are going to have their work cut out for them in the AL East once again.
Several of Boston's divisional rivals have made big moves since the lockout ended, with the Toronto Blue Jays arguably making the biggest gain by reportedly trading for Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman.
Chapman, a two-time Platinum Glove winner, is one of the best defensive infielders in baseball and is also coming off a 2021 season in which he hit 27 home runs. He joins a Toronto lineup that also features Vladimir Guerrero Jr., George Springer, Bo Bichette and Teoscar Hernandez, and the Blue Jays also recently added starting pitcher Yusei Kikuchi and Kevin Gausman to lead the rotation alongside Jose Berrios and Hyun Jin Ryu.
The New York Yankees also reportedly reached an agreement to bring back first baseman Anthony Rizzo, the team's top acquisition at last year's trade deadline. Rizzo is a four-time Gold Glove winner who hit 22 home runs in 2021 for the Chicago Cubs and Yankees.
The Tampa Bay Rays haven't made any big outside acquisitions yet, but their reinforcements are coming from within. Prior to the lockout the club re-signed 21-year-old super prospect to an 11-year, $182 million contract, and other young standouts like Randy Arozarena and Shane McClanahan figure to take a step forward.
Boston, which so far has added three mid to back-of-the-rotation starting pitchers, a pair of lefty relievers and outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., likely will need to make at least one additional move to be considered a likely threat to finish near the top of that pack. The Red Sox have been heavily linked to former Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman, however, with the club now considered one of the front-runners alongside the Rays and Los Angeles Dodgers.
One prime target is officially off the board, however, as Japanese superstar Seiya Suzuki has reportedly signed a five-year, $70 million deal with the Chicago Cubs. It also appears there will be no reunion in the cards with Kyle Schwarber, who has reportedly signed with the Philadelphia Phillies.
Sox CEO Kennedy says team pushing to host All-Star Game
Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy addressed the media for the first time post-lockout on Tuesday, touching on a variety of subjects including the team's ticket sales, stadium renovations, the potential return of the All-Star Game to Fenway Park and the club's commitment to winning.
Due to the lockout and pandemic, Kennedy said Red Sox ticket sales have been "pacing well behind prior years" and that Opening Day is not yet sold out. He added that as the lockout ends and things get back to normal he anticipates ticket sales will pick up and that Opening Day should be sold out before long.
When fans do return to Fenway Park they will find significant changes, particularly in the right field area.
"When you get to Fenway on Opening Day you're going to see a new back of the bleacher area with great new concourses, restrooms, food, amenities for fans that bleacher customers have never had," Kennedy said. "That will be great on Opening Day. Major investment, tens of millions of dollars in that area, and well over $100 million in this new incredible music venue that will help continue to establish Fenway as the entertainment capital of Boston."
Kennedy added that the renovations will include a new function area similar to the Dell Technologies Club and State Street Pavilion that will offer sweeping views of the ballpark from right field. He added that the new music venue being created will allow for concerts to be held during games, which he hopes will be popular with fans.
Fenway Park has undergone substantial renovations under the current ownership group dating back to 2002, which have transformed the park since it last hosted MLB's All-Star Game back in 1999. Asked about the prospect of the All-Star Game returning to Boston in the near future, Kennedy said the club is pushing to make that happen
"We are lobbying hard at the MLB level," Kennedy said. "We're finally coming up in the rotation at some point here. 1999 was amazing, that was an incredible night so we'd love to have the All-Star Game back."
In terms of the club's immediate future, Kennedy was pressed about the club's willingness to invest in the roster and potentially exceed the new competitive balance tax thresholds. Kennedy declined to specify whether the club would exceed the CBT this season, noting that he didn't want to tip his hand to the club's AL East rivals, but that they have in the past and that the club is hungry to bring another title to Boston.
Kennedy was also asked about the possibility the team could make a big splash in the free agent market, which the Red Sox have not done since signing J.D. Martinez prior to the 2018 season.
"Can we expect a splash? I don't know. We're going to see how this market unfolds and see how it plays out," Kennedy said, "But I don't think we'll deviate from — we're not going to deviate from the plan to try and put a premium on winning now, but also winning in the future."
Among the other topics Kennedy addressed, the Red Sox CEO said several players who were unvaccinated last season are vaccinated now, though he did not say what percentage of the club is currently vaccinated. He also said that Red Sox owner John Henry was deeply involved in the offseason's labor negotiations and that he was a strong proponent of pace-of-play rule changes. Kennedy added that he is personally a fan of pitch timers and banning the shift, saying such moves will help speed the game up while joking that he spent almost two decades "watching David Ortiz hit into them all the time."
Ortiz, he added, surprised the club by joining Tuesday's team meeting via Zoom, and that he was particularly complementary of infielders Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers.
Asked about their long-term futures with the club, Kennedy declined to get into whether or not they would be offered contract extensions but said he hopes the two will be a part of the Red Sox for a long time.
"Those two guys are guys that we'd love to see be a part of the Red Sox forever," Kennedy said. "They've been a part of the Red Sox since their teenage years, they're world champions and hopefully we can keep them for the long term."
Bogaerts says he's vaccinated, open to extension talks
If the Red Sox are going to contend in the AL East this year, they'll need all of their best players on the field. For road trips to Toronto, that entails being vaccinated, and one of Boston's top players confirmed that won't be an issue for him this season.
Xander Bogaerts told reporters on Tuesday that he's been vaccinated, addressing concerns that he might not be able to play road games in Toronto due to restrictions imposed by the Canadian government.
Fellow infielder Christian Arroyo said he also got vaccinated over the offseason, though the vaccination status of other Red Sox players remains uncertain.
With the AL East once again expected to be among the most competitive divisions in baseball, the Red Sox will be counting on a big season out of Bogaerts. Beyond this year, however, Bogaerts' future with the club remains uncertain, as the veteran shortstop has an opt out provision in his contract and could hit the open market to seek a massive new deal.
Speaking to reporters, Bogaerts indicated that he would be open to an extension, but he also threw cold water on the possibility he might switch positions in the future. Asked about rumors that the Red Sox could sign top free agent shortstop Carlos Correa, potentially resulting in Bogaerts moving to second or third base, Bogaerts said "I'm a shortstop, man" and that he takes a lot of pride in playing the position.
Bogaerts is entering his 10th season in Boston and is coming off a 2021 season in which he batted .295 with 23 home runs and 79 RBI while earning all-star honors.
NESN announces broadcast team for 2022
Four new faces will join the Red Sox broadcast booth as NESN announced its new team for the upcoming season.
Joining lead play-by-play caller Dave O'Brien and color commentator Dennis Eckersley will be newcomers Tony Mazzarotti, Kevin Millar and Kevin Youkilis. In addition, Will Middlebrooks will join the pre and post-game shows, which will be hosted by Tom Caron and also feature Ellis Burks, Jim Rice, Lenny Dinardo and Tim Wakefield. Mike Monaco will call selected games, and Mo Vaughn and Adam Pellerin will contribute occasionally as well.
Mazzarotti is a former Red Sox beat writer known best as co-host of 98.5 The Sports Hubs "Felger and Mazz" show, while Millar and Youkilis are former Red Sox players who both won World Series titles with the club in the 2000s. Middlebrooks also played for the Red Sox from 2012-14 and has served as an analyst for CBS Sports.
The Red Sox are reportedly in on top free agent Freddie Freeman.
According to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman, the Red Sox have jumped into the Freeman sweepstakes and are now among a handful of teams known to be vying for the longtime Atlanta Braves first baseman's services. Heyman reported that Freeman's known suitors now include the Los Angeles Dodgers as well as four AL East teams, including the Red Sox, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays.
Red Sox have joined the Freddie Freeman sweepstakes as things get more interesting. Teams known to be in now: the Dodgers plus 4 from AL East: Yankees, Rays and Jays, too
— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) March 15, 2022
Freeman has ranked among the top players in baseball over the past decade and recently led the Braves to their first World Series championship since 1995. Freeman batted .300 with 31 home runs, 83 RBI and a .896 OPS in 2021 and before that was named National League MVP in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season. Overall he is a five-time all-star and won a Gold Glove in 2018.
Freeman has spent his entire career with the Braves and was long expected to re-sign long-term, but the Braves allowed the franchise icon to hit free agency and effectively confirmed his departure by swinging a blockbuster trade for Oakland Athletics first baseman Matt Olson earlier this week.
Should the Red Sox land Freeman, the team would be getting one of the top players on the market while also potentially setting the table for additional moves. A Freeman deal would impact Bobby Dalbec, who was Boston's primary first baseman as a rookie throughout last season, as well as top prospect Triston Casas, who like Freeman bats left-handed.
J.D. Martinez says he hopes to spend rest of career in Boston
Since J.D. Martinez first signed with Boston prior to the 2018 season, the veteran slugger has had three separate opportunities to opt out and try his luck on the open market.
All three times Martinez decided to stick around, and now he is set to return for the final year of his original five-year contract.
If he has his way, he'd like to stick around a lot longer than that too.
"I would love it," Martinez told reporters on Monday. "I've expressed where I stand with the team and I would love to finish my career here, but that's not up to me."
For the first time in a while Martinez is not in control of his immediate future. The 34-year-old slugger is coming off a strong 2021 in which he batted .286 with 28 home runs and 99 RBI, but after this upcoming season he will become a free agent. Given his age and the hefty price he will likely receive on the open market, it's not clear if the Red Sox would bring him back.
That wouldn't necessarily be bad for Martinez or his bank account. With the National League having just adopted the designated hitter, impact bats like his are in high demand. Had Martinez opted out and become a free agent this offseason he would likely be in line for a big payday, but even with that being the case Martinez said he doesn't have any regrets and that coming back was "an easy decision."
"I think I made the right decision personally and I'm excited to be here," Martinez said. "I think this team has a chance to win again and that's what I want to do. I want to win. I'm starting to go later on in my career and trying to win is the most fun."
Martinez said Boston has been a good fit and that he gets along great with his teammates, the coaches, front office staff and everyone else. He said the high pressure environment works for him too because "nobody is harder on myself than me," despite some initial concern from friends and family when he first signed with Boston.
Beyond his personal situation, Martinez said he believes the universal DH will be good for baseball as a whole, and that it should hopefully make the American and National Leagues more equitable.
"I think it's leveled the playing field, I think for pitchers, for hitters, everyone," he said. "Now you can judge a hitter or pitcher strictly by their numbers and not by the league they're playing in, which I think is good for baseball all around."
Bloom says right-handed bat, bullpen help remain priorities
Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom addressed the media for the first time post-lockout on Monday morning, saying the past few days have been among the busiest of his career and that the club is focused on filling out its roster ahead of the upcoming season.
While he emphasized the club's flexibility in terms of being able to make any type of move, big or small, he said adding a right-handed bat and more bullpen help are top priorities.
"The nice thing about the way our roster sits right now is we're in a position where we're able to accommodate a lot of different types of talented players," Bloom said. "Obviously there are some positions where we're pretty well set and pretty well spoken for, but for the most part we can accommodate good talent if it makes sense for us."
Bloom did not rule out the possibility that the Red Sox could still bring back slugger Kyle Schwarber, who bats left-handed, or that the team might make another move for starting pitching. Prior to the lockout the Red Sox acquired starters Rich Hill and Michael Wacha, as well as James Paxton, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery and isn't expected to be available until midseason at the earliest.
"There is never a point where you're not looking to add starting pitching in this game," Bloom said. "But with what we were able to do before the lockout, we do like who we have, we think we have a lot of good options, and our depth in terms of who is coming up, who's ready and or close to ready in Triple-A, we're in a better position than we've been in."
Another possible option for the rotation is Garrett Whitlock, who broke out as a rookie last season in a multi-inning relief role before eventually establishing himself as the team's closer in the playoffs. Bloom said they acquired Whitlock as a starter and that his role evolved in part due to his recovery from Tommy John and in part because the team needed him in the bullpen role. Going forward they see Whitlock as a starter and that they hope to get more innings out of him, whether as a starter or in a hybrid bullpen weapon.
Asked about the possibility of adding Japanese outfielder Seiya Suzuki, Bloom declined to comment specifically but reiterated that they hope to add a position player, which could include another outfielder.
On the subject of signing Rafael Devers to an extension, Bloom said his focus has been on adding outside talent over the past few days but that they view Devers as a cornerstone player. He also said that the cancellation of the Rule 5 Draft is likely a positive from a front office perspective, given how busy things are and how little opportunity clubs have had to scout potential selections.
Sox reportedly sign LHPs Strahm, Diekman
The Red Sox have reportedly made their first big league signings post-lockout.
According to multiple reports, the Red Sox plan to sign left-handed relief pitchers Matt Strahm and Jake Diekman. Fansided's Robert Murray and MassLive's Chris Cotillo were the first to report the signings, respectively.
Strahm is coming off an injury-plagued 2021, with knee injuries limiting him to only six appearances for the San Diego Padres. Strahm pitched 6.2 innings with an 8.10 ERA, but prior to last year he'd put together a solid track record in the bullpen.
In his six-year big league career, the 30-year-old Strahm has a 3.81 ERA in 157 appearances, including a 2.61 ERA in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season and a 2.05 ERA in 2018. In 2019 the Padres attempted to convert him to a starter, but after he posted a 5.42 ERA leading into July moved him back to the bullpen, after which point he had a 3.04 ERA the rest of the season.
Strahm relies primarily on his low-90s fastball and slider, but also occasionally works in a curveball and changeup. He is known for his control and has been effective against both righties and lefties. He has reportedly signed for one-year, $3 million.
Diekman projects as a potential late-inning option, having enjoyed a strong 2021 with the Oakland Athletics. The 35-year-old had a 3.86 ERA over 60.2 innings while recording 83 strikeouts, good for 31.7% of the batters he faced.
According to Statcast, Diekman also ranks 96th percentile in whiffs and 10th percentile in barrels across MLB, meaning there are few better at getting swing and misses and avoiding solid contact. He also has good splits against both righties and lefties, but he is also prone to allowing a lot of walks. The terms of his contract aren't yet known.
The addition of Strahm and Diekman bolsters the bullpen and adds significant competition among the club's lefty relievers. The Red Sox are returning Josh Taylor as the top lefty from last year, plus Darwinzon Hernandez and Austin Davis. It is unlikely all five will make the Opening Day roster, adding pressure on Hernandez and Davis in particular.
Two former Red Sox relievers have also reportedly signed deals with other teams, bringing their time with Boston to an end. Righty Adam Ottavino reportedly signed a one-year, $4 million with the New York Mets and lefty Martin Perez has reportedly signed with the Texas Rangers, also for one-year, $4 million.
Sox add 12 non-roster invitees to spring training roster
With big league camp set to begin on Sunday, the Red Sox filled out their spring training roster by adding additional 12 non-roster invitees.
Joining the big league club for spring training will be catcher Kole Cottam; infielders Triston Casas, Ryan Fitzgerald, David Hamilton and Christian Koss; outfielder Franchy Cordero; left-handed pitcher Chris Murphy and right-handed pitchers Durbin Feltman, Geoff Hartlieb, Kaleb Ott and John Schreiber.
The most notable invitee is Casas, one of the club's top prospects who is expected to factor into the big league equation by the end of 2022. Hamilton is another interesting add, as he is one of the prospects the Red Sox acquired in the Hunter Renfroe-Jackie Bradley Jr. trade just before the lockout.
Overall the Red Sox have added 23 non-roster invitees, with the full list as follows:
- Pitchers (12): Silvino Bracho, Taylor Cole, Tyler Danish, Michael Feliz, Durbin Feltman, Darin Gillies, Geoff Hartlieb, Brian Keller, Zack Kelly, Chris Murphy, Kaleb Ort, John Schreiber
- Catchers (2): Roldani Baldwin, Kole Cottam
- Infielders (6): Triston Casas, Ryan Fitzgerald, David Hamilton, Christian Koss, Roberto Ramos, Yolmer Sánchez
- Outfielders (3): Franchy Cordero, Rob Refsnyder, Christin Stewart
Sox announce revised spring training schedule
The Red Sox announced their revised spring training schedule on Friday, with big league camp set to officially open on Sunday before the team plays a 19-game Grapefruit League season starting March 17.

Hollywood is awash with stories of tech startups gone wrong right now. From WeWork to Uber, it seems like every streaming service is showcasing what goes wrong with inexperienced CEOs get access to billions of dollars. The Dropout seems to be the most successful of these shows, with Amanda Seyfried's performance as Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes garnering critical acclaim. It's a show that's pretty devoted to period-appropriate technology, but eagle-eyed viewers likely spotted a time-traveling Pixel phone in the latest episode.
Although Theranos was as much a health company as a tech startup — in theory, at least — the world of consumer technology surrounds it. One episode opens with Holmes at the launch of the first iPhone, a device she later smashes out of frustration, causing a particularly emotional trip to the Genius Bar. It follows up the old-school iPods and Blackberrys that litter the first few episodes of the show, tracking from the late 1990s into the downfall of Theranos throughout the mid-2010s.
The penultimate episode, "Heroes," is set in 2015, just as Wall Street Journal reporter John Carreyrou tries to finish work on his exposé against the company. In the episode, Dylan Minnette's character Tyler Schultz takes a call from his grandfather, Theranos investor George Schultz. As he picks up his smartphone, Android fans will likely recognize the distinct look and style of the Google Pixel — a landmark Android phone, and another exciting easter egg for technology fans. The only problem, of course, is that the first-gen Pixel arrived in the fall of 2016, a year after Wall Street Journal ran its Theranos expose.
It's a funny mix-up in a show that has, otherwise, shown some real dedication to the technology used by its characters. Depending on the exact month this scene takes place, a Nexus 5 or Nexus 6 would've been a better choice for set dressing (Google announced the Nexus 5X and 6P just a couple of weeks before the WSJ report). Of course, it's possible all of those old LG models bootlooped ages ago, leaving the showrunners unable to choose the exact device they wanted for the character.
Now, if we want to talk about real errors, there is one obvious one. Everyone knows the "Really Blue" Pixel variant was the one to get. Why he — or anyone — went with the "Very Silver" version will haunt me for the rest of my life.

Strafford Fire hopes for voters to approve more money to the department
STRAFFORD, Mo.– With election day this coming Tuesday, April 5, some area fire departments are hoping voters will approve sending more money their way.
Strafford Fire Department is one such department. They’re proposing an $8 million bond.
Ebenezer Fire Protection District pushes for bond issue to pay for new headquarters, improvementsStrafford Fire Department started out with just volunteers. In 2009, it moved to a full-time career station. But as the department grew, strafford realized they needed more space and more people.”
“We’ve pretty much doubled our call volume since we began career in 2009,” Battalion Chief Brian Ferguson said.
Ferguson has been with Strafford for 13 years.
“Obviously, the area has gotten a lot bigger,” Ferguson said. “I mean, things of their stuff here, that wasn’t it was all farmland when I first started here. And now it’s full of subdivisions and it’s like that all over Greene and Christian County. I mean, stuff just blowing up everywhere.”
To keep up with the growth, Strafford Fire is proposing an $8 million bond. If approved, a home assessed at $140,000 would see a roughly $75 tax increase.
“The main focus of the bond is to update and renovate the station two house here,” Chief Jacob Agee said. “The station was built in 1990 so getting more amenities for the firefighters and the crew. It’s also going to update our 1992 ladder truck at 65-foot with the growth and industrial parks and everything we’ve got to update to at least a 100-foot ladder.”
Missouri AG investigating solar company amid customer complaintsThe bond also includes adding another station on the south side of the city.
“We have one crossing, so if a trains coming through we’re going to be delayed to get to that side of the tracks,” Agee said. “So having a station on that side will really speed things up with response times.”
Strafford hopes this bond will also help maintain the ISO rating and with the changes, the insurance safety office rating will improve.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Luka Doncic continues to feel right at home when he’s facing the Milwaukee Bucks, even when his Dallas Mavericks are on the road facing a fourth-quarter deficit.
Doncic scored 32 points and matched a season high with 15 assists to help the Mavericks defeat Giannis Antetokounmpo and the defending champion Bucks 118-112 on Sunday.
“Obviously, when you play against superstars like Giannis today, you always have extra motivation,” Doncic said. “He’s a champion, a two-time MVP.”
Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 28 points and 10 rebounds. Milwaukee was essentially at full strength Sunday after resting all of its usual starters in a 153-119 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night.
Doncic flirted with a triple-double before finishing with eight rebounds. In six career games against the Bucks, Doncic has averaged 26.8 points, 11.3 assists and 9.2 rebounds with three triple-doubles.
“He’s one of the most talented players in the league, one of the most talented players probably ever to play this game,” Antetokounmpo said.
Antetokounmpo added that “we tried to make it tough for him, but he played well.”
Dallas’ Dwight Powell added 22 points and 13 rebounds — one off his career high — and the Mavericks bounced back two days after a 135-103 loss at Washington.
“On the road against the champs, it’s a hard place to win, especially after we had that performance in Washington,” Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said. “This group in the locker room knows they can respond."
After a basket by Bobby Portis briefly gave the Bucks a one-point lead early in the fourth, Doncic led the Mavericks back by scoring or assisting on each of Dallas’ first 11 points in the final period.
Doncic hit a 3-pointer to put the Mavericks back ahead 93-91 with 9:04 left. He made a pair of free throws just over a minute later to make it 95-91. He capped the 8-0 run by finding Dorian Finney-Smith for a corner 3-pointer with 7:20 left.
Antetokounmpo made two free throws to cut the margin to five, but Doncic found Reggie Bullock for a corner 3-pointer that extended Dallas’ lead to 101-93 with 6:55 remaining.
“He’s able to pick apart whatever a defense is throwing at him,” said Jalen Brunson, who scored 15 points for the Mavericks.
Milwaukee's Jrue Holiday sank a 3-pointer to cut the Mavericks’ lead to 101-98 midway through the fourth quarter. Powell responded by converting a conventional three-point play to make it 104-98 with 5:52 remaining.
The margin didn’t drop below five the rest of the way.
Bullock had 16 points and Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie had 11 each for the Mavericks. Holiday had 20, Portis 17, Brook Lopez 14, Pat Connaughton 12 and Khris Middleton 11 for the Bucks.
TIP-INS
Mavericks: Maxi Kleber didn’t play due to a sore right ankle. ... Mavericks coach Jason Kidd congratulated former Dallas coach Del Harris for his selection to the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame on Saturday, but said it’s about time another former Mavericks coach gets honored as well. “We’re all excited for him and his family because he should have been in there a long time ago,” Kidd said before the game. “The next guy we have to try to get in is Dick Motta. He should be in, too, a coach that maybe didn’t do the politic thing, but he came to work every day and so he’s the one that should be in the Hall of Fame next. Hopefully we can get him in.” ... This was Kidd’s first game in Milwaukee as a visiting head coach since the end of his own Bucks tenure. Kidd, who’s in his first season with Dallas, coached the Bucks from 2015-18.
Bucks: Antetokounmpo’s season scoring average remained at 30.1 points. He entered the day ranked second in the league to LeBron James (30.3). Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid was averaging 30.0 points. Antetokounmpo has never won the scoring title.
CLOSE CALL
The Mavericks were leading 106-101 with 4:47 left when Holiday was called for fouling Doncic on a 3-point attempt. The Bucks challenged the call, but officials determined after looking at the replay that Holiday had made contact with Doncic’s head.
Doncic made all three of his ensuing free throws.
“Jrue told me after the game, ‘You’re welcome for the haircut,'" Doncic quipped. “But he got me a little bit, though. I think that’s a foul.”
UP NEXT
Mavericks: At Detroit on Wednesday. The Mavericks will be completing a four-game trip before finishing the regular season with two home games.
Bucks: At Chicago on Tuesday. The Bucks are 3-0 against the Bulls this season.

Updated April 4, 2022 at 4:36 PM ET
Police in Sacramento, Calif., have arrested a suspect related to the mass shooting in the city's downtown area early Sunday morning.
Dandrae Martin, 26, was charged with assault and illegal firearm possession on Monday — the day after six people were killed and 12 others injured in the shooting. Other shooters are still being sought by investigators, according to the Sacramento Police Department.
Police have released only small details of what transpired early Sunday. Investigators are seeking information from the public on other suspects and what, exactly, happened.
Here's what we know so far:
The ages of those killed range from 21 to 57
Local authorities released the names of the six people killed in the melee.
According to CapRadio, they are:
Police are looking for multiple shooters
During the preliminary processing of the crime scene, investigators found that at least three buildings and three cars near the scene were struck by gunfire. More than 100 shell casings were recovered.
Following Martin's arrest, police and SWAT detectives served search warrants at three houses in the area. At least one handgun was recovered from those searches.
The police have asked the public to submit any videos or photos through the department's evidence portal to help them find anyone who played a part in the shocking crime. So far, 100 video and photo files have been submitted.
Referring to those tips, Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester told journalists Sunday evening: "We are deeply grateful for that."
Footage of the violence was also captured by a police camera at an intersection near the shootings, she said. The chief also said police recovered a stolen handgun from the scene.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the shooting is "yet another horrendous act of gun violence," saying his administration is working closely with local and state law enforcement agencies.
Details from witnesses emerge
Police officers were in the area and raced to the scene when they heard the shots, Lester said. They rushed to learn what happened and to perform CPR on victims, she added.
Berry Accius, who runs a nonprofit that helps young people in the area, told Capital Public Radio that he went downtown less than an hour after the shooting.
"When I first came, I saw a victim who was injured, draped in blood, and another person screaming about her son. ... Another lady screaming, saying she saw her sister take her last breath," he said.
A large fight broke out just before the gunfire
The gunfire erupted near the corner of 10th and K streets, close to the California State Capitol, around 2 a.m., according to the Sacramento Police Department's Facebook page.
Cellphone videos circulating online captured a fight among a large crowd of people on a sidewalk in the area of the shooting. The footage shows people running for their lives as the first shots ring out, followed by dozens more shots. It's not yet known how that fracas might be linked to the shooting.
Investigators found "hundreds of pieces of evidence at the scene," Lester said.
"What happened last night is the biggest and most recent example of what we all know," the police chief said. "Gun violence is truly a crisis in our community, and it has increased not only here in Sacramento but across the nation."

Which sheer robe is best?
For a romantic occasion or just to feel like a goddess at home, slip on a sheer robe. Sheer robes are worn over lingerie or worn as a bathing suit cover-up.
You can also find bridal and maternity sheer robes and dressing gowns that make you feel extra sexy during those special seasons of life. Sheer robes often have luxurious trimmings and are made either of lace or mesh. For a lace robe, INC’s Lace Wrap Robe is a stunning choice.
What to know before you buy a sheer robe
Material
Sheer robes are made from blends of materials such as polyester, viscose, silk, rayon, nylon, Spandex and cotton. The material is see-through due to the low-density knit and the use of thin threads. Sheer robes can range in sheerness from semi-transparent to semi-opaque.
Mesh vs. lace
Mesh sheer robes have a uniform appearance and are typically nylon or polyester. The material is breathable, wrinkle-resistant and strong. It is also water-resistant, which is why you’ll see the material used in sheer swimsuit cover-ups. Lace sheer robes feature lace patterns, often in feminine floral patterns, which gives the robe more of a lingerie feel. Some sheer robes combine both mesh and lace, using the lace as trimming.
Uses
Sexy styles of sheer robes are for the boudoir and, because of their translucent material, can showcase lingerie such as lace bras or thongs. Mesh sheer robes designed as swimwear cover-ups generally don’t have lace trimming and may feature more opaque material than lingerie-style sheer robes. Not all swim cover-ups are mesh, and if you’re in the market for a swimsuit cover-up, there are many options to explore.
Length
Sheer robes come in a variety of lengths, maxi robes that flow to the ground to short robes that graze the upper thigh. When choosing a long sheer robe, consider your height as well as if you’re planning on wearing the robe with heels. Always check the manufacturer’s sizing chart when considering the length of a robe. The length of a sheer robe is ultimately a matter of personal preference.
Size
Sheer robes come in women’s sizing, typically XS to XXL. Most sheer robes have a relaxed or loose fit and a belt tie, allowing for an adjustable fit. Still, it’s always good to check the sizing chart because a small in one brand may not be the same as a small in another.
What to look for in a quality sheer robe
Color
The majority of sheer robes come in a solid color, such as black, white, cream, pink or red. Sheer robes also come in blue, purple and green colors. Some can have contrasting colors, such as a nude mesh robe with black satin trimming. Some lace patterns combine different colors as well.
Belt
The majority of sheer robes come with a removable belt tie. The tie is often a satin fabric of the same color as the body of the robe. The tie can be thin, like a ribbon, or wider for a more secure tie. However, sheer robes are designed to reveal, so don’t rely on the belt to keep you modest.
Trim
Sheer robes often have luxurious trimming such as lace, tulle, satin or feathers. Tulle and feathers can add volume to a sheer robe. Some tulle-trimmed robes can be quite puffy and voluminous for a highly romantic look.
Maternity
If you’re expecting, select a sheer robe designed for maternity wear. These sexy styles accommodate your baby bump and can be styled for maternity photoshoots.
Bridal
Bridal, sheer robes tend to be long and white. They look great in getting-ready-for-the-big-day photos or can be worn exclusively on your wedding night.
How much you can expect to spend on a sheer robe
Sheer robes start as little as $9 for fast-fashion brands and can cost up to $129 for lingerie name brands. Good quality sheer robes start at $30.
Sheer robe FAQ
How do I launder a sheer robe?
A. This can vary from robe to robe, so definitely check the care instructions before tossing your robe in the wash with your other laundry. Because of the delicacy of the fabric, the majority of sheer robes must be hand washed in cold water and air-dried or dry cleaned. Some, however, can be washed in the machine on a delicate cycle.
What kind of sleeves do sheer robes have?
A. Sheer robes feature roomy, long sleeves, often in a bell-sleeve style. The sleeve openings are often trimmed with lace or feathers. Select sheer robes feature short sleeves or three-quarter length sleeves.
What are the best sheer robes to buy?

Shrinking Groceries? Here’s How Shrinkflation is Impacting Your Food Budget
Many companies have raised prices to keep up with inflation, but retail industry experts now say that we may see consumer products shrink in size, quantity or both because of rising costs.

In February, the inflation rate hit a 40-year high of 7.9%, according to the most recent data from the Labor Department. The inflation gauge rose 0.8% from the month earlier, reflecting higher gasoline, food and shelter costs.
Consumers are more likely to notice the price of goods than they are to notice small changes to the size or volume of products, says The Philadelphia Inquirer. Product downsizing is also known as “shrinkflation.”
“Shrinkflation is a way to disguise inflation, and we see it commonly with food and beverages, or disposables [products] like garbage bags, things with a lot of turnover,” Chris Motola, a financial analyst at MerchantMaverick.com, explains to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
“It’s not fraud,” Motola added. “But they count on consumers not to do the math.”
Edgar Dworsky, consumer advocate and editor of the website ConsumerWorld.org, told CNN that product downsizing is becoming increasingly prevalent, noting several instances of brands shrinking the size of their products.
For example, Procter & Gamble’s Charmin’s ultra-soft toilet paper 18-count mega package contains 244 two-ply sheets, down from 264 double-ply sheets per roll. Super mega rolls are also down to 366 sheets from a previous 396 sheets per roll, CNN reported. Dworsky says that this is the equivalent of losing about a roll and a half in the new 18-count package.

“For consumers, this is kind of an annoyance…. or a concern depending on the product we’re talking about,” said Mark Cohen, director of retail studies and adjunct professor at Columbia University’s business school, CNN reports. “I do believe inflation will be here for a while and we will see such product adjustments continue to happen.”

Unusual! Bayern scored, but played with 12 players and can lose the game against Freiburg
Freiburg, Germany.
An error in the substitutions caused Bayern Munich to play with twelve footballers for a few seconds in the match against Freiburg, from the Bundesliga, which ended with a victory for the defending champion (1-4).
In the 86th minute and for twenty seconds, Bayern played with one more player than allowed. The situation was as follows: coach Julian Nagelsmann decided that Niklas Süle and Marcel Sabitzer should come onto the pitch and Kingsley Coman and Corentin Tolisso should be substituted.
However, one of them, Coman, did not leave the field of play and twelve players coincided on the field.
Referee Christian Dingert, at the request of the VAR, stopped the match, which was interrupted for several minutes. The situation was resolved, but the mistake had already been made. For a few seconds Bayern had played with one more man.
The regulations warn that the error can have consequences and Bayern, who won the match 1-4, can suffer an administrative defeat and lose 2-0. If Freiburg resorts, the Bavarian team will lose the match.
Bayern coach Nagelsmann said the mistake was made by the fourth official and what he indicated on the electronic sign.
With six games to go until the end of the championship, Bayern leads the standings with 66 points, Borussia Dortmund remains second with 57 and Bayer Leverkusen remains in third place after the 2-1 victory against Hertha Berlin (17th).
After a goalless first half, Leon Goretzka (58), Serge Gnabry (73), Kingsley Coman (82) and Marcel Sabitzer (90+6), scored the goals of the win, although Freiburg managed to tie the game thanks to Nils Petersen (1-1, 63).
The lofty result does not reflect the difficulties that Bayern went through to beat the Freiburg defense, which came into this match with the second fewest goals.

If you’re a real estate professional who is interested in expanding your skillset to include buying and selling vacation homes, now is a great time to explore the options in your market. In 2021, vacation home sales grew from 5% to 6.7% of the total market share, the highest growth we’ve seen in recent history.
Current market conditions
Vacation and second home sales rose to 6.7% of the total market share in 2021 for the year. By the end of January 2022, vacation home sales were still trending upward, hinting at continued growth in the segment. While it’s a small portion of the overall real estate market, there is great interest in owning a vacation home.
Who purchases vacation homes?
Vacation home buyers and sellers are typically better prepared, having been through the process of purchasing their primary residence. In 2021, 77% of vacation home buyers were able to contribute 20% or more to their down payment. Meaning vacation home buyers are typically better qualified financially and tend to be better prepared mentally to get the deal done.
What exactly constitutes a vacation home?
The U.S. Census Bureau defines vacation homes as, “seasonal, recreational, and occasional-use properties.” When you think of a vacation home, you might imagine a seaside villa on the Pacific Ocean. A vacation home buyer may be thinking of their family’s cabin deep in the woods of Northern Michigan. Both would be correct.
What motivates vacation home buyers?
Lifestyles and life stages make buyers gravitate toward certain locations and types of properties. The chance to engage in their favorite recreational activities is a major factor in choosing a location.
Below are lifestyle and recreation activities that may influence someone to purchase a vacation home:
- Golf courses and resorts
- Waterfront
- Ski resorts
- Hunting and fishing
- Wildlife watching
The importance of personal branding when working with vacation home buyers
Now is the time to evaluate your marketing efforts and determine whether your brand and advertising will attract vacation home buyers and sellers. Your branding should focus on the types of properties and clients you wish to work with. Consider what is important to this demographic and begin developing a message around those topics. Being an accurate and authentic source of information is one of the best ways to build a relationship with potential clients.
Below are a few tips for getting yourself established as a vacation home real estate professional.
- Product knowledge: Get to know your market and learn what draws people to your community.
- Embrace the competition: Vacation homes can be highly sought after, and the market can be aggressive. Don’t be discouraged; focus on doing good business.
- Network intelligently: Getting involved in your community is a great way to learn more about what it has to offer you and potential vacation homeowners.
- Financial literacy: Take time to become familiar with how a second home can impact a client’s financial outlook.
The bottom line
Interest is growing in the vacation and second home market, and you can be a part of that growth. If you don’t live near the beach, don’t worry. Vacation homes come in all shapes and sizes. Take some time to evaluate your branding and make changes that will attract the type of clients you want to work with. Stay focused on your clients’ vision and your business will be rewarded with referrals.

LONDON (AP) — Crystal Palace dominated from the start to beat Arsenal 3-0 in the Premier League on Monday as Patrick Vieira’s side dealt his former team a big blow in the fight for a top-four finish.
Jean-Philippe Mateta and Jordan Ayew put the Eagles in control after 24 minutes and Wilfried Zaha’s second-half penalty added deserved gloss to the score for the hosts, who extended their unbeaten run to seven matches in all competitions and moved up to ninth in the table.
For Arsenal, the loss means it’s now behind fourth-place Tottenham on goal difference, albeit with a game in hand.
Palace had held Manchester City to a goalless draw three weeks ago and the hosts made life difficult for the away side in the opening exchanges.
The opening goal came when a deep free kick by Gallagher found Joachim Andersen at the far post, who directed the ball across goal for Mateta to head in from close range for his sixth goal of the campaign.
Eight minutes later, Andersen produced a trademark crossfield pass from the back and Ayew was able to control the ball before he bent his shot around Ramsdale and into the bottom corner.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta brought on Gabriel Martinelli at halftime in place of struggling left-back Nuno Tavares, who was filling in for the injured Kieran Tierney..
Arsenal did improve after the hour mark and Emile Smith Rowe should have done better when the ball dropped for him but his eight-yard effort was weak and straight at goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.
Martin Odegaard had an equally fine chance with 23 minutes left after being set up by one of substitute Eddie Nketiah’s first touches and yet the Norway international could only steer his shot wide.
Zaha, who had wanted to join Arsenal in the summer of 2019, then put the game to bed in the 74th minute.
After he won the ball by the halfway line, the Ivory Coast attacker dribbled past Gabriel and ran at Ben White before Odegaard clipped his ankle in the area.
Referee Paul Tierney took a couple of seconds but pointed to the penalty spot and Zaha did the rest to fire home his 11th goal of the season.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — In a rare emergency move, the U.S government temporarily declared a northern Nevada toad endangered Monday, saying a geothermal power plant in the works could result in its extinction.
The Fish and Wildlife Service announced it is formally proposing a rule to list the Dixie Valley toad as an endangered species subject to 60 days of public comment under the Endangered Species Act's normal rulemaking process.
But it said the emergency listing goes into effect immediately and will continue for eight months while more permanent protections are considered for the toad at the only place it is known to exist in the world.
It marks only the second time in 20 years the service has listed a species as endangered on an emergency basis.
“Protecting small population species like this ensures the continued biodiversity necessary to maintain climate resilient landscapes in one of the driest states in the country,” the agency said.
People are also reading…
It wasn’t immediately clear how the toad's listing might affect construction of the power plant about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Reno. Conservationists and tribal members are trying to block the project in a lawsuit currently before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The dispute is among a growing number of conflicts over wildlife protection and tribal rights on federal lands that the Biden administration faces as it pursues its agenda to combat climate change by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.
Officials for Reno-based Ormat Technologies Inc., which broke ground on the power plant last month, have said they don't believe a listing would impact the project because the company spent six years developing a mitigation plan to offset any potential environmental impacts.
“Ormat long recognized the importance of conserving the Dixie Valley toad, regardless of its legal status,” Ormat Vice President Paul Thomsen said Monday in an email to The Associated Press.
“Ormat will coordinate with relevant agencies to ensure that any additional required process is met while we continue our work on this important renewable energy project,” he said.
Geothermal power is generated from hot water deep beneath the earth.
The Dixie Valley toad lives in wetlands around hot springs next to the construction site. In addition to geothermal development, other primary threats to one of the smallest toads in the western U.S. include disease, predation by non-native frog species, groundwater pumping for human and agricultural uses and climate change, the service said.
The agency agreed last month to expedite consideration of a federal listing of the toad as part of a settlement with conservationists and the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe, who are suing to block the power plant. The Nevada tribe says the site is sacred to its people who have lived there for thousands of years.
The Center for Biological Diversity first petitioned for the toad’s listing in 2017.
Monday's decision "comes just in the nick of time for the Dixie Valley toads, which are staring down the barrel of extinction,” said Patrick Donnelly, the center's Great Basin director.
“We’ve been saying for five years that the Dixie Meadows geothermal project could wipe out these tiny toads, and I’m thankful those concerns have been heard," he said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.
The center for Biological Diversity and the tribe won a federal court order in Reno in January temporarily blocking construction of Ormat’s project on U.S. Bureau of Land Management land east of Fallon.
But the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals stayed that order Feb. 4 pending full consideration of Ormat’s appeal. The San Francisco-based appellate court is considering hearing arguments on the appeal in June.
The last time a species was declared endangered on an emergency basis was in 2011, when the the Obama administration took action on the Miami blue butterfly in southern Florida. Before that, an emergency listing was granted for the California tiger salamander under the Bush administration in 2002.
Other species listed as endangered on an emergency basis over the years include the California bighorn sheep in the Sierra Nevada in 1999, steller sea lions in 1990, and the Sacramento River winter migration run of chinook salmon and Mojave desert tortoise, both in 1989.

RENO, Nev. – In a rare emergency move, the U.S government temporarily declared a northern Nevada toad endangered Monday, saying a geothermal power plant in the works could result in its extinction.
The Fish and Wildlife Service announced it is formally proposing a rule to list the Dixie Valley toad as an endangered species subject to 60 days of public comment under the Endangered Species Act's normal rulemaking process.
But it said the emergency listing goes into effect immediately and will continue for eight months while more permanent protections are considered for the toad at the only place it is known to exist in the world.
It marks only the second time in 20 years the service has listed a species as endangered on an emergency basis.
“Protecting small population species like this ensures the continued biodiversity necessary to maintain climate resilient landscapes in one of the driest states in the country,” the agency said.
It wasn’t immediately clear how the toad's listing might affect construction of the power plant about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Reno. Conservationists and tribal members are trying to block the project in a lawsuit currently before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The dispute is among a growing number of conflicts over wildlife protection and tribal rights on federal lands that the Biden administration faces as it pursues its agenda to combat climate change by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy.
Officials for Reno-based Ormat Technologies Inc., which broke ground on the power plant last month, have said they don't believe a listing would impact the project because the company spent six years developing a mitigation plan to offset any potential environmental impacts.
“Ormat long recognized the importance of conserving the Dixie Valley toad, regardless of its legal status,” Ormat Vice President Paul Thomsen said Monday in an email to The Associated Press.
“Ormat will coordinate with relevant agencies to ensure that any additional required process is met while we continue our work on this important renewable energy project,” he said.
Geothermal power is generated from hot water deep beneath the earth.
The Dixie Valley toad lives in wetlands around hot springs next to the construction site. In addition to geothermal development, other primary threats to one of the smallest toads in the western U.S. include disease, predation by non-native frog species, groundwater pumping for human and agricultural uses and climate change, the service said.
The agency agreed last month to expedite consideration of a federal listing of the toad as part of a settlement with conservationists and the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe, who are suing to block the power plant. The Nevada tribe says the site is sacred to its people who have lived there for thousands of years.
The Center for Biological Diversity first petitioned for the toad’s listing in 2017.
Monday's decision "comes just in the nick of time for the Dixie Valley toads, which are staring down the barrel of extinction,” said Patrick Donnelly, the center's Great Basin director.
“We’ve been saying for five years that the Dixie Meadows geothermal project could wipe out these tiny toads, and I’m thankful those concerns have been heard," he said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.
The center for Biological Diversity and the tribe won a federal court order in Reno in January temporarily blocking construction of Ormat’s project on U.S. Bureau of Land Management land east of Fallon.
But the 9th U.S. Circuit of Appeals stayed that order Feb. 4 pending full consideration of Ormat’s appeal. The San Francisco-based appellate court is considering hearing arguments on the appeal in June.
The last time a species was declared endangered on an emergency basis was in 2011, when the the Obama administration took action on the Miami blue butterfly in southern Florida. Before that, an emergency listing was granted for the California tiger salamander under the Bush administration in 2002.
Other species listed as endangered on an emergency basis over the years include the California bighorn sheep in the Sierra Nevada in 1999, steller sea lions in 1990, and the Sacramento River winter migration run of chinook salmon and Mojave desert tortoise, both in 1989.

There is some disappointing news for many skiers who love to plan annual hut trips in Colorado’s backcountry: For at least one more winter, the Tenth Mountain Division Hut Association will require users to book the entire hut due to COVID.
Prior to the pandemic, individual users and small parties could book reservations in the huts, which typically accommodate 16 to 20 guests. For the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons, Tenth Mountain required “single-party” reservations out of concern over COVID transmission. That will be the case again for the 2022-23 season.
“There’s a lot of people who really enjoy booking less than the capacity of the hut, and for really good reason, that’s what we’re all about,” said Ben Dodge, executive director of the Tenth Mountain Division Hut Association. “That multi-party experience is a fundamental part of what we do. People enjoy it, that’s why they go to the huts – to meet other people – and it’s more affordable that way. We’re committed to returning to that multi-party reservation configuration as soon as we possibly can.”
Here are examples of how it works in practice. It would cost individuals or small parties $37 per person per night plus tax to reserve spots at the Tenth Mountain Division Hut near Tennessee Pass, if not for the single-party requirement. Because of it, though, they would have to book the entire hut (which has a capacity of 16) at a cost of $644.10 including tax.
Similarly the Fowler/Hilliard Hut, located between Vail and Leadville, which also costs $37 per night per person would require spending $778.05 (including a $10 per person Vail Pass Recreation Area fee) for the whole hut.
“It’s a big chunk of change to put out, I know,” Dodge said. “It’s unfortunate for those who want to book a smaller number.”
Dodge conceded it was the “conservative” policy decision to make, but seemed prudent for health reasons.
“I think the idea of having multiple parties — they’ve never met one another — staying in a hut and sleeping together in the same room, that’s the kicker,” Dodge said. “If we had entirely segregated sleeping quarters, I think you could probably feel better about having multiple parties staying in a hut, even with these (COVID) variants. But sleeping overnight in a confined area, there’s potential transmission.”

Surprise, Jennifer Lopez’s Shotgun Wedding Is Heading To Streaming
By Adam Holmes published
Jennifer Lopez’s upcoming movie has found a streaming home.
2022 is a big year for Jennifer Lopez’s film career. She’s already been seen co-starring with Owen Wilson in the romantic comedy Marry Me, which debuted on Peacock Premium and in theaters simultaneously, and she’s also set to lead Netflix’s action-thriller The Mother. Her lineup of upcoming movies also includes Shotgun Wedding, a blend of both the romantic comedy and action genres, and while that Lopez-led flick was originally intended to be an exclusive theatrical release, it’s been announced that it’s heading to streaming.
Word’s come in that Amazon Prime Video has acquired the U.S. rights to Shotgun Wedding from Lionsgate. The movie had been slated for a June 29 release, and while it’s unclear if that’s still the case now that it’s housed on Amazon, it’s expected that Shotgun Wedding will still get a limited theatrical run at the same time it becomes available to stream with an Amazon Prime subscription. Amazon had previously snagged the streaming rights to Shotgun Wedding in some “key” international territories, and the movie will be released theatrically in those locations too.
So as a result of this Amazon acquisition, all three of Jennifer Lopez’s 2022 movies (assuming Shotgun Wedding isn’t pushed to 2023 for some reason) are now streaming offerings. This makes 2019’s Hustlers the actress’ last theatrical-exclusive movie. Shotgun Wedding joins a lineup of movies originally intended to play in theaters first that Amazon pulled into its ranks, including Hotel Transylvania: Transformania, Coming 2 America, The Tomorrow War, Without Remorse and the Camil Cabello-led Cinderella.
Jennifer Salke, the head of Amazon Studios, had this to say about Shotgun Wedding being added to the Amazon library (via Deadline):
Shotgun Wedding stars Jennifer Lopez and Jupiter’s Legacy’s Josh Duhamel as Darcy and Tom, a couple who get cold feet on their wedding day. If that wasn’t bad enough, the attendees of their special event are taken hostage, leaving it up to the soon-to-be bride and groom (assuming they do indeed get married) to save the day. Armie Hammer had initially been primed to play Tom, but he exited the movie in January 2021, and Duhamel was brought in the following April. Pitch Perfect’s Jason Moore directed Shotgun Wedding based off the script written by Mark Hammer and Liz Meriwether, and the cast also includes Sônia Braga, Jennifer Coolidge, Lenny Kravitz, Cheech Marin and D’Arcy Corden, among others.
If Shotgun Wedding ends up getting a different release date, we’ll let you know. For now though, there are plenty of Amazon Prime movies to keep you entertained until this Jennifer Lopez feature arrives.

Vet reveals heartbreaking reason you should never leave the room when your pet is being put down
ANYONE who has had a family pet knows that they are part of the family - and losing them is a devastating loss.
Many people who have to take the difficult decision to put down their pet feel it would be too difficult to stay in the room as the vet performs the procedure.
But when one vet was asked about the worst part of their job, the answer may make pet owners rethink their decision to leave the room.
Jessi Dietrich took to Twitter to share the response to the question.
She said: "He said when he has to put an animal down 90% of owners don't actually want to be in the room when he injects them so the animal's last moments are usually them frantically looking around for their owners (and to be honest) that broke me.
"And for this reason I'm literally gonna be cradling my homeboy rick when his time comes with all his favorite (sic) toys and endless ear scratches at the ready regardless of how distraught I am."

Many people were moved by the message as the tweet was retweeted 40,000 times and got more than 180,000 likes.
Adding to the conversation, a vet technician said: "I’d say 80% of owners want to be there!
"But we give them an injection to make them sleepy first (basically surgically anesthetised) so the transition is that much smoother.
"And when owners don’t want to be a part of the actual euthanasia, they stay for the sedation part so at least they are with them until they are sleeping. Makes everything so peaceful (well as peaceful as that can be I guess)."

Most vaccinated people will probably require yet another COVID-19 vaccine booster shot in the fall, a top Food and Drug Administration official said Monday.
"That's when we'll probably have a fair amount of waning immunity in combination with likely further evolution of the virus along with people going back inside," where the virus spreads more easily, Dr. Peter Marks, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, told NPR in an interview.
Marks says the country must start planning now for whether everyone needs another shot and, if so, what kind of shot exactly?
"We could basically wait until another wave comes along and then try to make another vaccine and try to deal with it, but I think we know that doesn't work, because we can't manufacture and deploy vaccine fast enough," Marks says.
The FDA is convening a special meeting of the agency's independent outside advisers Wednesday for a daylong meeting to begin to plan the next round of boosters.
The meeting comes about a week after the agency authorized a fourth shot — a second booster — for anyone age 50 and older to shore up immunity ahead of a possible new surge sooner than the fall. A more contagious omicron subvariant known as BA.2, which has fueled surges in other countries, is now dominant in the U.S., raising fears of another surge.
The tricky part of determining what do in the fall is determining what version of the virus will be dominant by then, Marks says. It could be omicron variant, but it could also be an entirely new variant. That raises doubts about just giving people a fifth shot of the current vaccine, he says.
"There is a certain diminishing return by giving the same vaccine over and over," Marks says. "We have had enough evolution of this virus that it would make sense to want to try to cover some of the genetic diversity that has been introduced into the mix."
One strategy would be to give people a new vaccine that specifically targets omicron or one of the other variants, such as beta, Marks says. Another option would be a new vaccine that combines at least two different strains into one vaccine, which could provide even broader protection against any new variants that might emerge.
"By this fall, we may be onto a new variant. It could be sigma. It may be tau. There may be something new that may be circulating that we'll have to deal with," Marks says. "We're going to have make a good guess at what may be most effective."
That's how the flu vaccine is formulated each year, though that virus is more predictable than SARS-CoV2.
So far, an omicron version of the vaccine hasn't produced very promising results in early testing. But scientists are waiting for more data about that shot, and about other new versions of the vaccines that combine strains, such as omicron and the original strain, omicron and beta, or delta and omicron.
Another question is how often people will have to keep getting vaccinated moving forward.
"Will it be something like the yearly flu vaccine, or not?" Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House science adviser, told NPR in an interview. "I have to emphasize: We don't know the answer to that right now."
Some experts worry the FDA is just assuming another shot will be necessary, instead of focusing on the more important problem of vaccinating the unvaccinated and boosting the unboosted.
"The FDA agenda implies that, without open, transparent scientific discussion, ... that repeated boosting is the way of the future. There has yet to be a discussion of the goals of boosting and the trade-offs," Dr. Celine Gounder, an infectious disease specialist and senior fellow at Kaiser Health News, wrote in an email.
"People like to say we can walk and chew gum at the same time, but in a world of unlimited resources, there are choices and trade-offs to be weighed. What are we not doing at the expense of repeated boosting?" she says.
In a briefing document posted Monday, the FDA outlined the many questions the advisory committee will discuss on Wednesday. One issue is whether the U.S. or World Health Organization will take the lead in formulating the next version of the vaccine, like it does with the annual flu shot.
Unlike the flu shot, regulators will need specific new data demonstrating that any new formulation of the vaccine is safe and effective, the FDA says.

A FLIGHT attendant has shared some odd reasons that cabin crew get fired, including being sick and breaking dress code.
Heather Poole - who worked for a major carrier for 15 years - shared several airline secrets, firing back at people who claim that the gig is not that hard.
For the first six months as new hires, all entry-level flight crew are on probation, and any small rule infraction can lead to immediate dismissal.
During the probation period, Poole knows people who have been fired for wearing their uniforms incorrectly, even if that just means tying a sweater around your waist.
New flight attendants also don't qualify for travel benefits yet, like getting to fly for free when off duty.
One new crew member was immediately fired for trying to secure a free flight due to her attendant status.

My sneaky hack means you get more liquids through airport TSA – it’s convenient
And if you're sick, Poole says to not even think about flying. Flying sick as an airline attendant will be grounds for losing your job immediately.
And to even get the job, stewards have to be between 5'3" and 6'1" and cannot require a seatbelt extender to sit comfortably in an airline seat.
It's an improvement from the 1960s, when attendants had to be 5'2", weigh 130 pounds, and retire by age 32. In the 1960s they also couldn't be married or have children.
Flight attendants have also been fired for innocent mistakes, such as accidentally announcing the wrong arrival city.
Most read in Fabulous
And in 2018 one cabin crew member told Showbiz CheatSheet she was fired because she called the city of Kaliningrad, Russia, by its German pronunciation, Königsberg.
CheatSheet reports that United Airlines also fired 13 flight attendants who refused to work a flight after someone wrote "Bye Bye" on the plane, and many workers viewed it as a threat to their safety.

Flight attendants have also been fired for posting revealing TikToks about their jobs, making blogs about their jobs online, or posting photos in their uniforms while off duty.
Attendants have also been frequently fired for more understandable infractions, like drinking in the air, or watching content on their phones or iPads while on the job.

Detroit is largest city to challenge 2020 census numbers
By MIKE SCHNEIDER and COREY WILLIAMS
Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) — Majority-Black Detroit has become the largest city to challenge its figures from the 2020 census following a national head count in which the U.S. Census Bureau acknowledges African Americans were undercounted. Leaders of Michigan’s largest city, which is more than three-quarters Black, had questioned the results of the 2020 census since last December when they released a report suggesting that more than 8% of the occupied homes in 10 Detroit neighborhoods may have been undercounted. The 2020 census data showed Detroit with 639,111 residents, while estimates from 2019 put the city’s population at 670,052 residents.

New York mobster Dominic Taddeo escapes federal custody in Florida
A western New York mobster who killed three men during the 1980s and failed in two other attempted hits has escaped from federal custody, authorities said.
Dominic Taddeo, 64, of Rochester, escaped after going to an approved medical appointment on Monday in Florida and did not return, according to the Democrat & Chronicle. Taddeo, who had been imprisoned at a medium-security facility in Coleman, was transferred to a residential halfway house in February that works with incarcerated men and women scheduled for release, the newspaper reported.
Taddeo was scheduled to be released from custody in less than a year, WHAM-TV reported. According to the Bureau of Prisons website, Taddeo’s status has been updated to reflect his escape.
A reputed contract killer, Taddeo fatally shot three men -- Nicholas Mastrodonato, Gerald Pelusio, and Dino Tortatice -- in 1982 and 1983, the Democrat & Chronicle reported.
Taddeo pleaded guilty in 1992 in federal court in Rochester to racketeering charges and was sentenced to 54 years in prison, according to the newspaper.
Taddeo failed in two attempts in 1983 to kill mobster Thomas Marotta, WHAM reported. Taddeo was also part of a plot to kill mob figure Thomas Taylor, according to the television station.
In 2020 Taddeo asked for a compassionate release, citing health issues and the COVID-19 pandemic, but his request was denied, the Democrat & Chronicle reported. According to prosecutors, medical records did not demonstrate that Taddeo was particularly unhealthy, The Associated Press reported.

This Canton company makes 1 million Made in Mass. tortillas every day
Canton is home to a local company that makes 1 million tortillas per day. Maria and Ricardo’s focuses on making healthy tortillas that serve a list of dietary needs.
In addition to their corn and wheat tortillas, they also make versions that are gluten-free, organic, and keto-friendly.
“We always have this belief that no tortilla lover should be left behind,” said Cheque Montemayor, the CEO of the company.
Several 500-pound mixing bowls prepare the dough, in what’s called a small batch operation. The dough is then distributed through an automated process, in place of the old system which was labor-intensive.
"In the old days you would grab a piece of the dough and you would create a little ball," Montemayor said.
The company focuses on clean and simple ingredients and a good tortilla experience.
“It needs to fold, it needs to be able to wrap the ingredients, it shouldn't break and it should meet your nutritional needs without compromising on taste,” Montemayor said. “So all of that for us is ‘mucho goodness’.”
The tortilla business is big. In the U.S. alone, annual industry sales are in the billions of dollars.

Taney County Clerk explains changes to polling locations ahead of April 5 election
HOLLISTER, Mo. (KY3) - Before you head to the polls Tuesday, the Taney County Clerk’s office has a reminder about changes to a few voting locations.
Voters in Hollister, who had previously cast their ballots at Hollister City Hall or the Train Depot, will now vote at the New Beginnings Fellowship Church. However.
Taney County Clerk Donna Neeley says voting at the middle school has been moved to the Taney County Regional Sewer District, at the request of the Kirbyville School Board.
”It will provide better parking and the parking will be closer to the doors which will help with our handicapped voters,” said Neeley.
Neeley says parking was also an issue when voting was held at the Hollister train station. New Beginnings Fellowship Pastor Jaden Stanley says this is the first time the church has served as a polling site and thinks the building will accommodate a larger number of voters.
”Whenever we have rows set out, we actually have the ability to seat 450 people,” said Stanley. “In the standing room, we have the ability to accommodate 1,000 people at a time, if not more.”
Stanley says the community should feel less crowded Tuesday as well.
”They’ll be able to get in the vote, get out, and get back to their day.”
Neeley says as a reminder, there are things voters will need to bring with them to the polls
“They can use their old voter ID cards, their driver’s license, which is the easiest,” Neeley said.
She says there are several other things you can use such as a passport, copy of a current utility bill, paycheck, bank statement, or other government documents that have the name and address of the voter. Stanley says volunteers will start setting up at the church at 5 a.m. and polls will open at 6 a.m.
”Voters can get here before they have a busy day at work, but they can also come after the polling place is going to close at 7 p.m,” Stanley said.

Police in Sacramento, Calif., have arrested a suspect related to the mass shooting in the city's downtown area early Sunday morning.
Dandrae Martin, 26, was charged with assault and illegal firearm possession on Monday — the day after six people were killed and 12 others injured in the shooting. Other shooters are still being sought by investigators, according to the Sacramento Police Department.
Police have released only small details of what transpired early Sunday. Investigators are seeking information from the public on other suspects and what, exactly, happened.
Here's what we know so far:
The ages of those killed range from 21 to 57
Local authorities released the names of the six people killed in the melee.
According to CapRadio, they are:
Police are looking for multiple shooters
During the preliminary processing of the crime scene, investigators found that at least three buildings and three cars near the scene were struck by gunfire. More than 100 shell casings were recovered.
Following Martin's arrest, police and SWAT detectives served search warrants at three houses in the area. At least one handgun was recovered from those searches.
The police have asked the public to submit any videos or photos through the department's evidence portal to help them find anyone who played a part in the shocking crime. So far, 100 video and photo files have been submitted.
Referring to those tips, Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester told journalists Sunday evening: "We are deeply grateful for that."
Footage of the violence was also captured by a police camera at an intersection near the shootings, she said. The chief also said police recovered a stolen handgun from the scene.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the shooting is "yet another horrendous act of gun violence," saying his administration is working closely with local and state law enforcement agencies.
Details from witnesses emerge
Police officers were in the area and raced to the scene when they heard the shots, Lester said. They rushed to learn what happened and to perform CPR on victims, she added.
Berry Accius, who runs a nonprofit that helps young people in the area, told Capital Public Radio that he went downtown less than an hour after the shooting.
"When I first came, I saw a victim who was injured, draped in blood, and another person screaming about her son. ... Another lady screaming, saying she saw her sister take her last breath," he said.
A large fight broke out just before the gunfire
The gunfire erupted near the corner of 10th and K streets, close to the California State Capitol, around 2 a.m., according to the Sacramento Police Department's Facebook page.
Cellphone videos circulating online captured a fight among a large crowd of people on a sidewalk in the area of the shooting. The footage shows people running for their lives as the first shots ring out, followed by dozens more shots. It's not yet known how that fracas might be linked to the shooting.
Investigators found "hundreds of pieces of evidence at the scene," Lester said.
"What happened last night is the biggest and most recent example of what we all know," the police chief said. "Gun violence is truly a crisis in our community, and it has increased not only here in Sacramento but across the nation."

US obesity rates increased during COVID pandemic, study says
Published: Apr. 4, 2022 at 5:24 PM EDT|Updated: 45 minutes ago
(CNN) – Americans got fatter during the COVID pandemic.
A new study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine shows obesity rates among adults in the U.S. got worse during the COVID pandemic.
The average body mass index in the U.S. increased by 0.6% between March of 2020 and March of 2021 over the previous year, the study says.
The increase happened even as exercise participation rates soared by 4.4%, and as people slept 1.5% more and smoked 4% less.
Researchers didn’t look at diets, so people may have eaten less healthy foods.
A rise in the consumption of alcohol may also have contributed.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello may be getting back together—on the stage at least.
After being announced as one of the performers for the upcoming iHeartRadio KIIS FM Wango Tango concert, Shawn sat down for a radio interview with Ryan Seacrest on April 4 and addressed the fact he would be sharing the lineup with his ex girlfriend. After insisting that he and Camila were still "very friendly" with each other five months after their split, the 23-year-old hinted that the "Señorita" singers could even make cameos during each other's June 4 performances.
"I wouldn't be surprised," Shawn said. "I wouldn't put it past us."
He added, "I've loved Camila for so many years and that's never going to change."
Back in November, Shawn and Camila, 25, announced they had broken up after dating for more than two years. However, the former couple remained on good terms. Eagle-eyed fans have spotted several sweet Instagram interactions between the two and in January, the "Mercy" singer and former Fifth Harmony were photographed in Miami together walking their golden retriever, Tarzan.
During the interview with Ryan, Shawn also touched on his new hit single "When You're Gone," revealing that he wrote the deeply personal song a month after his breakup with Camila.
"It's really just the processing and the complexities of knowing something is better and still wanting to hold on and all the reasons why," he explained about the lyrics. "I'm really glad to be able to be real and authentic with my music."
He continued, "It's cathartic for me too to be able to write about these things and it's amazing because I get to hear how people are possibly going through the same thing."
Earlier this month, Shawn said he shared the song with Camila months before its release and she was very supportive.
"We have a really honest relationship," he exclusively told E! News' Erin Lim on the April 1 episode of Daily Pop. "She knows me and I know her, and ultimately, we both are writers and we both know what it is to make music and what the bigger picture of making art is."
He added, "We're supportive of that, always."

The announcement comes at a time when energy prices across the country, coupled with record-high inflation, are soaring and climate change is pressuring consumers to reduce emissions.
“This latest step will help us further accomplish our goal of net zero emissions by 2030,” Jeff Vahle, president of the Walt Disney World Resort, told ABC News. “Our commitment to the environment goes beyond imagining a brighter, more sustainable future by putting possibility into practice to ensure a happier, healthier planet for all.”
The Walt Disney World Resort currently has two solar arrays, including one shaped like a giant Mickey, that generate a total of 55-megawatts of solar power and provide 10% of the park’s energy.
The two new solar installations won’t be located on park property; they will be built in Gilchrist and Polk Counties, covering more than 1,000 acres. Both are expected to come online by early 2023. By placing the solar facilities elsewhere in Florida, the Walt Disney World Resort will not need to rely on sunny skies in one area for reliable solar energy. The addition will also make Disney World the largest commercial consumer of solar in the state of Florida.
The two new solar arrays will be capable of producing more than 375,000 megawatt hours of energy in its first year, which is the equivalent of removing 29,500 vehicles from the road annually.
The Walt Disney Co. is the parent company of ABC News and "Good Morning America."

Idahoans Are Getting Freaky in These 10 Public Places [Photos]
Some hallway banter at our offices recently sparked a conversation: growing up in the Treasure Valley, where would you sneak off to in the middle of the night? As teenagers, sneaking around at night to smoke a cigarette, drink a cheap beer, or "make-out" with the person you're dating that week is normal, right?
Well, we asked you on social media where those places were. While many accused us of being undercover cops, we really just wanted to have some fun.
Did any of the comments or messages suggest a place that you have "snuck off to" before?
Boise's Most Promiscuous Places
Late last year, a popular dispensary in Oregon shared a video of some great "sesh" spots-- satirically of course. Needless to say, some of their suggestions were the same as yours. Are we sensing a trend?
What is a "Sesh spot"? Well, according to Urban Dictionary it's a place to do something illegal. You can connect the dots.

The Offer was made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 4, 2022 (the "Offer to Purchase"). The Notes are guaranteed by the Company's subsidiary, Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC.

Holders of any Notes that were validly tendered after the Early Tender Time but prior to or at the Expiration Time and accepted for purchase received the applicable Tender Offer Consideration (as defined below). In addition, holders whose Notes were purchased in the Offer received accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date or the Final Settlement Date, as applicable (each as defined in the Offer to Purchase) for the applicable Notes.

Newborn died after Chambersburg mom 'slumped over' on him, police say
A Franklin County woman is charged with manslaughter in the death of her 6-day-old son last year, according to Pennsylvania State Police.
Xander Ray Reed was pronounced dead less than 13 hours after he and his mother, Destinee Griffin-Bailey, came home from Chambersburg Hospital on May 26, according to the charging document.
Emergency medical units responded to a home in the 1300 block of Swamp Fox Road, Guilford Township, at 12:55 p.m. that day for a report of an infant who was not breathing and was unresponsive. Life-saving measures were administered, but Xander was pronounced dead at 1:49 p.m.
Xander's autopsy report showed he died as a result of "positional asphyxia," according to the charging document.
A different purpose: Coroner brings comfort to fire, crime scenes with rehab unit
Toddler overdose: Logan Starliper lived for 3 years. Men sentenced to decades in prison for her overdose
Griffin-Bailey told police she ingested a drug she described as "scramble" before feeding the infant a bottle, according to the charging document. She showed police how she sat cross-legged with the baby on her lap and "slumped over" him while holding a bottle in his mouth. She said she woke up and found the baby was unresponsive, with the bottle still in his mouth.
Fentanyl, an opioid many times more potent than morphine, and other substances were found in a sample of Griffin-Bailey's blood, police said. "Scramble" is typically a combination of heroin and/or fentanyl and other substances, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Griffin-Bailey said she used narcotics during her pregnancy with Xander and that the child suffered from withdrawal symptoms after his birth, according to the charging document. Hospital staff warned her against using drugs while caring for Xander, as it "would affect (her) cognitive abilities and decision making," police said.
"The actions of the defendant prior to the feeding of the victim, and the position in which she held the victim while feeding him, contributed to the death of the victim once the effects of the illicit narcotics that were ingested by the defendant took hold," police said in the charging document.
Turning it around: Franklin County man dodged jail to find hope
Griffin-Bailey was charged with involuntary manslaughter, a second-degree felony, court records show.
She was arraigned Monday afternoon by Magisterial District Judge Kelly Rock, who set bail at $150,000.
According to online court records, Griffin-Bailey has been in Franklin County Jail since shortly after her baby's death. She was charged May 27 with two felony counts of endangering the welfare of a child and put in jail on $100,000 bail.
Griffin-Bailey's preliminary hearing on the involuntary-manslaughter case is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. April 12 in Franklin County Central Court.

BALTIMORE (AP) — After two unsuccessful attempts to free the grounded Ever Forward in the Chesapeake Bay, the U.S. Coast Guard announced Monday that containers will be removed to lighten the load before another try.
Salvage experts determined they wouldn’t be able to overcome the ground force of the more than 1,000-foot (305-meter) Ever Forward, loaded with nearly 5,000 containers, the U.S. Coast Guard, Maryland Department of the Environment and Taiwan-based Evergreen Marine Corp., the ship's operator, said in a news release. Unloading the ship offers the best chance to refloat it, officials said.
Dredging will continue to a depth of 43 feet (13 meters), but as soon as two crane barges are installed, containers will be removed and taken back to Baltimore's Seagirt Marine Terminal, officials said. Then, tugs and pull barges will try again to refloat the ship. The shipping channel will remain open to one-way traffic during the operation, which is expected to take about two weeks.
The ship was headed from the Port of Baltimore to Norfolk, Virginia, on March 13 when it ran aground just north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Officials have said there were no reports of injuries, damage or pollution.
The Coast Guard has said it hasn't determined what caused the Ever Forward to run aground. The ship is outside the shipping channel and has not been blocking navigation, unlike last year’s high-profile grounding in the Suez Canal of its sister vessel, the Ever Given, which disrupted the global supply chain for days.

Parkland, Florida, school shooter’s jury selection begins
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Jury selection in the deadliest U.S. mass shooting ever to go to trial began Monday with preliminary screening for the panel that will determine whether Nikolas Cruz will be put to death for murdering 17 students and staff members at a Parkland, Florida, high school.
Eighteen members of the first panel of 60 prospective jurors survived the only question they were asked by Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer: Could they serve in a trial that is expected to last from June to September? The 18 will be brought back in several weeks for questioning about whether they could judge Cruz fairly and their views on the death penalty. Two more groups are expected to be screened Monday.
Court officials have said 1,500 candidates or more could be brought before Scherer, prosecutors and Cruz’s attorneys for preliminary screening. The expected two-month process will pick 12 panelists plus eight alternates. Cruz, 23, pleaded guilty in October to the Feb. 14, 2018, massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, meaning the jury will only decide if he receives a death sentence or life without parole.
Cruz sat between his attorneys, wearing a gray sweater and an anti-viral face mask, four sheriff’s deputies sitting nearby. He spoke only briefly, waiving his right to participate directly in the screening process.
Eight parents and other family members of some victims sat together in the courtroom.
When prospective jurors are brought back in a few weeks, they will be asked whether they can judge the case fairly. They also will be asked if they can vote for the death penalty if the evidence supports that verdict, but don’t believe it should be mandatory for murder. Those who can’t will be dismissed.
Seven other U.S. killers who fatally shot at least 17 people died during or immediately after their attacks, either by suicide or at the hands of police. The suspect in the 2019 massacre of 23 at an El Paso, Texas, Walmart is still awaiting trial.
Death penalty trials in Florida and much of the country often take two years to start because of their complexity, but Cruz’s was further delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic and extensive legal wrangling.
Tony Montalto, whose 14-year-old daughter, Gina, died in the attack, said the trial “has been a long time coming.”
“I just hope everyone remembers the victims,” he said. Cruz, he said, “told the world his plans on social media, carried out those plans in a cold and calculated manner and murdered my beautiful daughter, 13 of her classmates and three of her teachers.”
The parents and spouses of victims who have spoken publicly said they are in favor of Cruz’s execution. Montalto has not answered the question directly, but has said on multiple occasions that Cruz “deserves every chance he gave Gina and the others.”
When the prospective jurors who pass the initial screening return for individual questioning several weeks from now, both prosecutors and the defense can challenge any for cause. Scherer will eliminate candidates who lawyers from either side have convinced her would be prejudiced against their side. Each side will also get at least 10 peremptory strikes, where either can eliminate a candidate for any reason except race or gender.
For Cruz, a former Stoneman Douglas student, to get the death penalty, the jury must unanimously agree that aggravating factors such as the number of people he killed, his planning and his cruelty outweigh such mitigating factors as his lifelong mental illness and the death of his parents.
If any juror disagrees, Cruz will receive a life sentence.

CUMBERLAND COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — Boiling Springs Mill turned apartments has been sold after a fire destroyed the upper parts of the building.
The new owners Caprice Properties, a local group that owns restaurants in the area, have plans to do the same with the mill.
“It’s taking what was a tragedy and turning into possibly a brighter future for this village, just one more to the next chapter of boiling springs evolving,” Cory Adams, South Middleton Township Manager said.
The building will remain historic, just restored and made into a restaurant and possibly a brewery with the same beautiful view.

Adams says the addition will add more tourism and money to the village of Boiling Springs. He adds that it will be the next chapter in its evolution.
Resident Corynne Rutz said she is excited to make memories in the transformed space, that she looks at often during her walks around the lake. “That brings so much happiness to my heart,” she said.
Caprice Properties employees were surveying the area Monday. Township officials hope this all gets done as soon as possible.

Russel Wilson is Leaving the Seattle Seahawks, But He Isn’t Heading to the New Orleans Saints
Reports are now saying that Russel Wilson will in fact be departing his long-time home with the Seattle Seahawks. While some New Orleans fans hoped to see Wilson end up with the Saints, he will seemingly not be touting the Black & Gold next season.
The NFL's top quarterbacks have been making major moves today.
After the news broke that Aaron Rodgers would remain with the Green Bay Packers, that was one more QB off of the list of potential free agents that the Saints could take a look at. One other name that had been tossed around over recent months was Russel Wilson.
But for any members of the #WhoDatNation that were tantalized by the idea of Russel Wilson wearing Black & Gold, those dreams now seem to be dust in the wind.
Russel Wilson Being Traded to the Denver Broncos
See the report from @TomPelissero on Twitter below.
More on the move below.
More on who the Seahawks will be getting in exchange for Wilson below via @AdamSchefter on Twitter.
It is certainly a monster deal between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos. Denver is having to give away quite a bit of assets in order to get Wilson. @ByLukeJohnson on Twitter wonders if Saints fans would've been willing to give up as much as the Broncos did to get Russel Wilson down in the Big Easy.
Now Saints fans are left wondering which quarterback is going to lead the offense next season. See what the options are looking like via @ByLukeJohnson on Twitter here.
What Do New Orleans Saints Fans Want?
As more teams solidify their QB position, Saints fans are making their voices heard on social media. See what they had to say via Twitter below.

Suddenly, Twitter’s biggest stakeholder is Tesla’s Elon Musk
Tesla CEO Elon Musk owns a 9% stake in Twitter and is now the social media platform’s largest shareholder. The ultimate aim of Musk’s 73.5 million share purchase worth $3 billion is not clear, yet in late March Musk, who has 80 million Twitter followers, questioned free speech on Twitter and whether the platform is undermining democracy. The regulatory filing Monday doesn’t make clear when Musk bought the stock, but says the filing was triggered by an event on March 14. Musk has also raised the possibility on Twitter of starting a rival social media network.

Stock tied to Trump social firm drops on report of turmoil
NEW YORK (AP) — Shares in a company planning to buy former President Donald Trump’s new social media business plunged Monday on a news report that two key executives have departed. The report by Reuters follows a filing by Digital World Acquisition Corp. that it will miss a key deadline to file its annual financial statements. The news has added to worries about Trump’s Twitter rival, called Truth Social, after a February launch of the app was marred by outages and long wait lists to gain access. The shares have fallen by more than a third since then.

Stocks close higher, Twitter soars on news of Musk stake
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks closed higher on Wall Street Monday with help from big technology and communications stocks. The S&P 500 rose 0.8%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.3% and the Nasdaq rose 1.9%. Twitter soared 27% following a big investment in the company from Tesla’s Elon Musk. The gains in technology companies helped offset weakness in other parts of the market. Details are emerging of what appears to be deliberate killings of civilians by Russia during its invasion of Ukraine, raising the possibility of more sanctions. U.S. crude oil prices rose 4%. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 2.41%.

Africa looks to renewables to curb warming, boost economies
MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) — Renewable energy’s potential across the African continent remains largely untapped, according to a new report by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Africa accounts for just 3% of the current global renewable capacity and only 2% of worldwide green energy investments, despite the continent’s significant strides towards clean energy sources in recent years. Yet there’s hope that more funding for renewables will not only help curb the worst effects of global warming, but boost countries’ economies. Africa is already the world’s lowest emitting continent, as millions lack access to electricity and clean cooking fuels.

Airlines reduce cancellations, but US flight problems linger
NEW YORK (AP) — Air travelers in the U.S. are getting a break after a bad weekend that left thousands of flyers stranded. Airlines scrubbed about 650 U.S. flights by midafternoon Monday. That’s according to tracking service FlightAware. That’s a big improvement from the weekend, when airlines canceled more than 3,500 flights, or about one in every 13 flights. Flights were canceled because of thunderstorms in Florida, technology problems at the busiest domestic airline and labor problems at another carrier. Some airlines are still struggling, however, especially Florida-based Spirit Airlines. The discount carrier canceled about 30% of Monday’s schedule by midafternoon.

JPMorgan’s Dimon warns of myriad issues for economy, bank
NEW YORK (AP) — Jamie Dimon laid out a laundry list of big risks looming for the global and U.S. economy in his annual letter to JPMorgan Chase shareholders on Monday. Never too shy to share his thoughts on anything, the CEO and chairman of JPMorgan often uses his shareholder letter to not only discuss ongoing challenges for the bank but also political or social issues that he feels need to be addressed. The letter is a contrast to last year’s version, when vaccines were rolling out nationwide and it appeared like the U.S. economy was accelerating out of the pandemic-caused economic turmoil.

Small businesses in need of a loan find banks are stingy
NEW YORK (AP) — Many small businesses are finding it tough to get a bank loan, making it difficult to move beyond the pandemic and afford the higher costs of goods and labor. A recently released survey from the Federal Reserve shows that 85% of small businesses experienced financial difficulties in 2021, up nearly 20 percentage points from 2019. Meanwhile, inflation is the highest in decades, with raw materials and finished goods soaring in price and workers demanding higher wages. Even in normal times, it can be tough for small businesses to get loans from traditional banks. During the pandemic, banks have been stingier, outside of COVID-related programs. Online loans are easier to get but often come with higher rates.

Russia war could further escalate auto prices and shortages
DETROIT (AP) — Russia’s devastating war on Ukraine is bringing a whole set of new problems to the global auto industry, just as it was starting to recover from the pandemic and computer chip shortages. In the short term, the invasion has choked the supply of electrical wiring made in Ukraine, forcing German automakers to temporarily close factories while they wait for the critical part. Long term, Russian supplies of precious metals, aluminum and pig iron, a primary ingredient in steel, could be cut off, either by Moscow or sanctions from other countries.

The S&P 500 gained 36.78 points, or 0.8%, to 4,582.64. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 103.61 points, or 0.3%, to 34,921.88. The Nasdaq jumped 271.05 points, or 1.9%, to 14,532.55. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 4.33 points, or 0.2%, to 2,095.44.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz endorsed former Ohio Treasurer Josh Mandel on Monday in the heated Republican primary for an open U.S. Senate seat, a potentially critical campaign boost just as early voting is set to begin in the Midwestern battleground.
Cruz’s decision could be particularly valuable among conservative voters in the absence of an endorsement in the race by Donald Trump, who has yet to weigh in despite candidates working hard to woo him — and he may not.
Cruz, who sought the GOP presidential nomination in 2016 that Trump won and may run again in 2024, is one of the highest-profile Republicans in the Senate. He and Mandel share an affinity for trying to exploit cultural divisions for political gain.
Polling shows Cleveland investment banker Mike Gibbons slightly edging Mandel at the top of the crowded GOP field vying to replace retiring Republican Sen. Rob Portman. Also running in the May 3 primary are former state Republican chair Jane Timken, author and venture capitalist J.D. Vance, state Sen. Matt Dolan and entrepreneurs Mark Pukita and Neil Patel.
Early voting begins Tuesday.
In a statement to The Associated Press, Cruz said he chose Mandel because he will stand up to “radical democrats” who want to exploit crises facing the nation “to deliver socialism to America.”
“A United States Marine, Josh is a proven fighter for our American way of life, a champion for the unborn, and a stalwart advocate for our religious liberties,” Cruz said.
In an interview, Mandel said that if he is elected, he looks forward to “being reinforcements for conservative fighters like Ted Cruz.”
“As we’ve seen in his 10 years in the Senate, he takes on squishy establishment Republicans just as fast as he takes on leftist Democrats,” Mandel said. “Because for Ted, and for me, this is not about (a) Republican vs. Democrat, shirts vs. skins type game. This is about standing up for the Constitution, for traditional American values, and saving the country for our kids and grandkids.”
Cruz has made a series of endorsements in this year’s primaries as he looks to the future. For the Senate, he is backing businessman David McCormick in Pennsylvania and Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt.
The conservative group Club for Growth helped elect Cruz in 2012 in a competitive race and it’s working this year to put Mandel in office. President David McIntosh said the group’s polling shows Gibbons and Mandel neck and neck.
“One of the things we’ve seen is, probably second to Trump, an endorsement from Ted Cruz signals the person he’s endorsing is a true believer and a fighter for the things they believe in,” he said.
Mandel has also been endorsed by North Carolina Rep. Madison Cawthorn, who has received criticism from a larger swath of Republicans for recent comments, including one in which he called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a “thug.” Utah Sen. Mike Lee, a conservative ally of Cruz, is also supporting Mandel.
Vance has the backing of Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley and Reps. Jim Banks of Indiana and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, and Donald Trump Jr. made an appearance at a Vance fundraiser in Florida over the weekend. Gibbons has the support of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
Portman endorsed Timkenin February, as did former Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway. Timken also has the support of Sens. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Joni Ernst of Iowa and Deb Fischer of Nebraska.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – The trucking industry has been hit with major challenges recently, but President Joe Biden says his team has made progress in fixing some of the issues.
Big rigs were parked on the White House lawn on Monday as President Biden talked up his “Trucking Action Plan.”
“We’re building a better economy around American manufacturing and American supply chains,” Biden said.
The president says his team has created tens of thousands of trucking jobs, putting more truckers on the road through apprenticeship programs.
“A pipeline of hardworking men and women, from all backgrounds, highly trained and highly motivated to get behind the wheel,” Biden said.
The administration also says it has grown the industry by cutting red tape for things like commercial drivers licenses.
“So far in 2022, we’re issuing CDLs at double the rate of last year,” Biden said.
American Trucking Associations CEO Chris Spear says that progress impacts everyone.
“We really are the heartbeat of the country. We’re the glue of the economy,” Spear said. “There isn’t anything in this country that doesn’t at some point move by truck.”
But there’s still a shortage of truckers and they’re facing challenges, especially with the high price of fuel.
“If that continues too long, it’s really going to hurt our industry’s ability to serve the economy,” Spear said.
Spear hopes to see more federal action on fuel prices. He also wants lawmakers to fix chokepoints in the supply chain and streamline shipping.
“It’s absolutely critical that our elected officials break down those barriers and find the things that they can work together on,” Spear said.

FLORHAM PARK, NJ. (AP) — The New York Jets released tight end Ryan Griffin, who became expendable when the team signed free agents C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin last month.
Griffin had 70 catches for 667 yards and seven touchdowns in three seasons with the Jets. New York saves $3 million on the salary cap with his release Monday.
The move was expected after the Jets signed Uzomah to a three-year, $24 million contract, and Conklin to a three-year, $21 million deal while revamping and upgrading the tight end spot.
The 32-year-old Griffin signed a three-year contract extension during his first season with New York in 2019. He finished that season on injured reserve with an ankle injury, and spent the last two games of last season on IR with a knee injury.
Griffin was a sixth-round pick of Houston in 2013 out of Connecticut. He spent his first six NFL seasons with the Texans before signing with the Jets in 2019.
Griffin has 206 receptions for 2,158 yards and 14 touchdowns in nine NFL seasons.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — A father of four. A best friend with a positive personality. A vivacious partygoer. The six people who were killed during a mass shooting in California’s capital city were remembered by their friends and family on Monday as few details were released about the weekend violence.
Dozens of rapid-fire gunshots rang out early Sunday in the crowded streets of California’s capital city, leaving three women and three men dead and 12 people wounded.
Investigators were searching for at least two shooters who were responsible for the violence on the outskirts of Sacramento’s main entertainment district that occurred as bars and nightclubs were closing. On Monday morning, small memorials with candles, balloons and flowers had been placed near the crime scene.
Few details have been made public as police seek to piece together the incident and implore witnesses to come forward with tips and videos.
The Sacramento County coroner released the identities of the six people killed. They were Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21; Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; and Devazia Turner, 29.
Harris and Turner were cousins, according to FOX 40.
MELINDA DAVIS
Melinda Davis was a “very sassy lady” who lived on the streets of Sacramento near the shooting site, The Sacramento Bee reported.
Shawn Peter, a guide with the Downtown Sacramento Partnership who had known Davis for 15 years, told the newspaper that she had been homeless and lived in the area on and off for a decade.
Officials had helped her find housing before the pandemic began but she had returned to the downtown business district in recent months, Peter said. A small bouquet of purple roses with a note saying “Melinda Rest In Peace” was left on the street in her memory.
“Melinda was a very eccentric individual, a very sassy lady,” he told the newspaper. “This was her world, 24/7.”
SERGIO HARRIS
Described by family members as the life of the party, Harris was a frequent presence at the London nightclub which is near the shooting scene.
“My son was a very vivacious young man,” his mother, Pamela Harris, told KCRA 3. “Fun to be around, liked to party, smiling all the time. Don’t bother people. For this to happen is crazy. I’m just to the point right now, I don’t know what to do. I don’t even feel like this is real. I feel like this is a dream.”
His family members congregated at the crime scene Sunday after they hadn’t heard from him for hours. Later that day, Harris was the first victim publicly identified by the coroner.
“This is a sad and terrible act of violence that took the lives of many,” his wife, Leticia Harris, told KCRA 3. “I want answers so I can have closure for my children.”
YAMILE MARTINEZ-ANDRADE
Martinez-Andrade was killed in front of her best friend, according to ABC 10.
She was described as someone who “brought light to the room,” the station reported, and had a positive outlook.
“There was never a dull moment with her. She has a beautiful heart and a beautiful mind. Everyone misses her so much,” her best friend, who was not named, told ABC 10.
DEVAZIA TURNER
Turner had spent his night out with friends and his cousin at the London nightclub, his father, Frank Turner, told FOX 40.
“He was out just having fun with his friends,” Frank Turner told the TV station.
Devazia Turner lived in Vacaville, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) southwest of the crime scene, but was from Sacramento, his father toldABC 10.
His sister, Tamika Young, told KPIX TV that Turner was the father of four children.
“I just want to make sure the world knows that he was loved,” Young said. “My little brother, he was a family dude. … He had love in him.”

1st day ends with no verdict in Michigan Gov. Whitmer plot
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — Jurors returned to court to ask a question Monday but offered no verdict during the first day of deliberations in the trial of four men accused of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker told jurors to “find a good distraction,” maybe the NCAA men’s basketball championship, and return Tuesday “ready to engage, fresh.”
Adam Fox, Barry Croft Jr., Daniel Harris and Brandon Caserta are charged with a kidnapping conspiracy. Three men also face additional charges, including conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, namely an explosive.
The jury asked the judge for a definition of “weapon” at mid-afternoon Monday, but otherwise gave no indication of the progress of deliberations.
“Something that can be used to injure, kill or destroy someone or something,” Jonker said after consulting with prosecutors and defense lawyers. “So if that helps — I hope — great. If it doesn’t, just let us know.”
The trial has lasted 16 days, including 13 days of testimony. The jury heard hours of closing arguments and instructions Friday.
Jonker last week told jurors that the men could be convicted of conspiracy, even if a kidnapping did not occur in fall 2020.
A key factor, if the jury finds it, would be a “mutual understanding either spoken or unspoken” between two or more people in the group, the judge said.
Prosecutors said the plot was simmering for months, leavened by anti-government extremism and anger over Whitmer’s COVID-19 restrictions. With undercover FBI agents and informants embedded in the group, the men trained with a crudely built “shoot house” to replicate her vacation home, prosecutors allege.
There is no dispute that the alleged leaders, Fox and Croft, traveled to Elk Rapids, Michigan, to scout the governor’s property and a nearby bridge that same weekend in September 2020.
Ty Garbin and Kaleb Franks, who pleaded guilty and testified against the four men, were on the same road trip, along with covert investigators.
Garbin said the goal was to get Whitmer before the fall election and create enough chaos to create a civil war and stop Joe Biden from winning the presidency. Much of the government’s case came from secretly recorded conversations, group messages and social media posts.
“You heard them in their own voices over and over again,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler told jurors, “talking about kidnapping her, murdering her, blowing up bridges and people and anybody who could get in their way. And it wasn’t just talk.”
The men were arrested in October 2020.
Defense lawyers, especially those representing Fox and Croft, attacked the government’s investigation and the use of a crucial informant, Dan Chappel. They claimed Chappel was the real leader, taking direction from the FBI and keeping the group on edge while recording them for months.
“Dan Chappel makes everything happen,” attorney Christopher Gibbons said in his closing remarks.
Attorney Joshua Blanchard repeatedly called the scheme “smoke and mirrors.”
“There was no plan. There was no agreement,” he said.
Croft is from Bear, Delaware, while the others are from Michigan.
Whitmer, a Democrat, rarely talks publicly about the plot, though she referred to “surprises” during her term that seemed like “something out of fiction” when she filed for reelection on March 17.
She has blamed former President Donald Trump for fomenting anger over coronavirus restrictions and refusing to condemn right-wing extremists like those charged in the case.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The weight of history packed into every inch of Augusta National can be overwhelming. There isn’t a tee box, a fairway, a bunker, a thatch of pine straw or a putting surface where the greats haven’t walked. Where iconic shots haven’t been made. Where green jackets haven’t been won. Or lost.
Collin Morikawa appreciates the lore. Acknowledges it. And is well aware of the impact it can have on your game.
“You show up for your first time and that’s what happens with a lot of people,” Morikawa said, who will be playing in his third Masters. “They are like, ‘Oh man, this happened here. This happened here.’”
Yet the 25-year-old, two-time major champion doesn’t get hung up on it. Walking onto the 18th green at the end of a practice round Monday, caddie J.J. Jakovac asked Morikawa if he wanted to recreate Mark O’Meara’s dramatic birdie that captured the 1998 Masters.
To which Morikawa had just one question.
“What putt? I had no clue which putt (O’Meara) had to win the Masters,” Morikawa said with a laugh. “So he drops the ball, and he’s like, ‘Oh, I thought you would have known.’ I was like, ‘No, I have zero clue.'”
It’s not disrespect. It’s more of a choice. He loves the game. He’s simply intent on not letting it consume him. That’s just not how he’s wired.
“If I want to have a long career .. if golf is 24/7 and I go study everything and watch everything and remember everything, that’s just not how my head works,” he said.
There are moments cemented in his memory, particularly watching Tiger Woods’ emotional victory in 2019. Morikawa joined his Cal teammates at an off-campus house a few of them shared, stuffed as many couches as they could together then sat transfixed as Woods captured his fifth title.
Three years later, Morikawa’s vantage point will be far different. So will the stakes. He arrived in Georgia this week not as a college kid watching the Masters on a massive TV from parts unknown but as the third-ranked player in the world, one determined to tackle one of the most iconic courses in the world on his terms, mostly because trying to do it the other way didn’t work.
Morikawa kept being told he needed to hit a draw consistently if he wanted to contend. So he spent his first two Masters trying to work the ball right to left even though his preferred shot is a cut that starts left and drifts back to the right. He finished tied for 44th during the patron-free and fall-swept 2020 Masters and while he improved to 18th last spring, he was never a factor.
He’d seen enough. He figures the five draws he tried to hit off the tee on the front nine in 2020 amounted to more than he would normally hit during an entire year. It’s not that he can’t hit one. He’d just prefer not to, mostly because of what happens when the ball doesn’t go where he wants. If he’s hitting a cut and it misses, he still has a pretty good idea of where he’ll end up. Not so much when his swing goes one way and the ball goes another.
Augusta is hard enough as it is without overthinking things, which is exactly what Morikawa felt he was doing repeatedly during his first two trips to the Masters.
“I was just making it so much tougher because I was trying to hit these shots that, you know, aren’t my go-to shots,” he said.
Things tend to work out when Morikawa trusts his instincts, like the cut 3-wood at Harding Park during the final round of the 2020 PGA that set up the clinching eagle and turned him into a major champion at 23. His near flawless triumph in the British Open at Royal St. George’s last summer made him the first player since Bobby Jones to need eight starts or less to claim multiple majors.
All that success has raised his profile, his world ranking and his own expectations. He arrived at Augusta rested following a tie for ninth at the Match Play last month. He feels his game is close to where it needs to be. When he steps onto the tee on Thursday morning, his mind won’t drift to trying to become the first player since Jordan Spieth in 2015 to win consecutive majors or the chance to etch himself into the fabric of history at a place that embraces it like no other.
It’ll just be him. The ball. And a mission that remains the same since he first picked up a club.
“Like there are so many guys that think about so much,” he said. “And yeah, it works one week, works this other week. But, like, just get in the ball in the hole. Figure out how to get it into the hole.”

“With this purchase, the buyer establishes a strong presence in Reno’s multifamily market,” said Kenneth Blomsterberg, senior managing director investments in Marcus & Millichap’s Reno office. “The tremendous upside potential that can be captured through value-add renovations across the majority of the assets in the portfolio, along with the high-value major employers that can be found in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center (TRI Center), made for an extremely attractive acquisition.” Blomsterberg, Ryan Rife and Daniel Winrod represented the seller and procured the buyer. “Over the past five years, the Reno-Sparks region has experienced a rapidly evolving landscape of business development and employment opportunities, and this trend is projected to continue,” added Rife. “Tesla, Apple, Google, Amazon, Blockchain LLC, Switch, and Panasonic are only a few of the major employers that have brought thousands of new jobs to the region. Many of these companies are in the TRI Center, the nation’s largest industrial park, located just a short drive from the ERGS Portfolio.”
Built between 1958 and 2021, the assets are:

Attacks On Nuclear Plants Continue In Ukraine
As Russia's hostile actions towards Ukraine entered a second month, so too have its acts of aggression against nuclear facilities.
Russia's game of nuclear chicken against Ukraine's nuclear facilities acclerated during March.
On March 13 The Daily Beast reported, "Chernobyl high power line damaged by Russia, Ukraine nuclear agency says."
Though Chernobyl has been shut down since the 1986 disaster, when it was operated by the Soviet Union, it still needs external electricity to provide "cooling power for 20,000 spent fuel rods" that remain on site. Without this power another nuclear catastrophe might happen.
The Daily Beast also reported that the essential power line "has again been damaged by 'the occupant' so Ukrainian workers would have to return to site to continue restoration of power.
Subsequently, on March 22, The Guardian reported, "Forest fires around Chernobyl nuclear plant." The report added, "At least seven fires were spotted within Chernobyl's Exclusion Zone (which is still so radioactive after 35 years that it's not fit for human habitation) according to satellite imagery taken by the European Space Agency." said the the Ukrainian parliament, which also alleged that "its firefighters are unable to tackle the blazes due to Russia's presence."
Complete Insanity
On March 11 National Public Radio reported "Attack on Zaporihia far closer to disaster than first reported."
This nuclear plant in northeast Ukraine has six reactors, and is the largest electrical power plant in Europe.
The NPR report stated , "A video analysis of unfolding events at the nuclear plant reveal:
-Russian troops firing heavy weapons in the direction of the reactor buildings, shredding the administrative building. A shell landed 250 feet from the reactor 2 building.
-Russian troops also held back Ukrainian firefighters as they haphazardly fired rocket propelled grenades at the admin building.
-Security footage supports Ukraine's nuclear regulatory agency claims of damage at three other locations: the Unit 1 reactor building, the transformer at the Unit 6 building, and the spent fuel pad , which stores high level nuclear waste."
Ed Lyman of the US Union of Concerned Scientists commented, "It's completely insane to subject a nuclear power plant to this kind of assault."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Sacramento police arrested a man Monday connected to the shooting that killed six people and wounded a dozen others in the heart of California's capital as at least two shooters fired more than 100 rapid-fire rounds and people ran for their lives.
Police said they booked Dandrae Martin, 26, as a “related suspect” on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and being a convict carrying a loaded gun. Detectives and SWAT team members found one handgun during searches of three homes in the area.
The arrest came as the six victims killed were identified in the shooting that occurred Sunday at about 2 a.m. as bars were closing and patrons filled the streets near the state Capitol.
The Sacramento County coroner identified the three women killed as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21. The three men killed were Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; and Devazia Turner, 29.
The burst of gunshots sent people running in terror in the neighborhood just a few blocks from Golden One Arena, where the NBA's Sacramento Kings held a moment of silence for the victims before their game Sunday night.
Detectives were trying to determine if a stolen handgun found at the crime scene was connected to the shooting, Police Chief Kathy Lester said. Witnesses answered her plea for help by providing more than 100 videos and photos of evidence.
“The scale of violence that just happened in our city is unprecedented during my 27 years here,” Lester told reporters. “We are shocked and heartbroken by this tragedy.”
Martin was not arrested for any homicide-related charge, District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert said.
“The investigation is highly complex involving many witnesses, videos of numerous types and significant physical evidence,” Schubert said in a statement. “This is an ongoing investigation and we anticipate more arrests in this case.”
Martin was held without bail and was scheduled to appear in Sacramento County Superior Court on Tuesday, according to jail records.
Martin was freed from an Arizona prison in 2020 after serving just over 1 1/2 years for violating probation in separate cases involving a felony conviction for aggravated assault in 2016 and a conviction on a marijuana charge in 2018.
He was also wanted on a misdemeanor warrant by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department in Southern California.
It was not immediately clear whether Martin had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Of the 12 wounded, at least four suffered critical injuries, the Sacramento Fire Department said. At least seven of the victims had been released from hospitals by Monday.
At the scene where the chaos erupted, streets were reopened Monday and police tape had been removed.
On sidewalks where video had shown victims writhing in pain, memorials began to grow with candles, balloons, flowers and stuffed animals paying tribute to the lives lost. One balloon had a message on it saying in part: “You will forever be in our hearts and thoughts. Nothing will ever be the same.”
Politicians decried the violence, and some Democrats, including President Joe Biden, called for tougher action against gun violence.
California has some of the nation's toughest restrictions on firearms, requiring background checks to buy guns and ammunition, limiting magazines to 10 bullets, and banning firearms that fall into its definition of assault weapons.
But state lawmakers plan to go further. A bill getting its first hearing Tuesday would allow citizens to sue those who possess illegal weapons, a measure patterned after a controversial Texas bill aimed at abortions.
Other proposed California legislation this year would make it easier for people to sue gun companies and target unregistered “ghost guns.”
The gunfire erupted just after a fight broke out on a street lined with an upscale hotel, nightclubs and bars. Police said they were investigating whether the altercation was connected to the shooting. Video from witnesses posted on social media showed rapid gunfire for at least 45 seconds as people screamed and ran for cover.
The shots startled sleeping guests at the Citizen Hotel, which included a wedding party and fans of the rapper Tyler the Creator, who performed at a concert hours earlier.
From her window on the fourth floor of the hotel, 18-year-old Kelsey Schar said she saw a man running while firing a gun. She could see flashes from the weapon in the darkness as people ran for cover.
Schar's friend, Madalyn Woodward, said she saw a girl who appeared to have been shot in the arm lying on the ground. Security guards from a nearby nightclub rushed to help the girl with what looked like napkins to try to stanch the bleeding.
Sunday's violence was the third time in the U.S. this year that at least six people have been killed in a mass shooting, according to a database compiled by The Associated Press, USA Today and Northeastern University. And it was the second mass shooting in Sacramento in the last five weeks.
On Feb. 28, a father killed his three daughters, a chaperone and himself in a Sacramento church during a weekly supervised visitation. David Mora, 39, was armed with a homemade semiautomatic rifle-style weapon, even though he was under a restraining order that prohibited him from possessing a firearm.
The crime scene Sunday sprawled across two city blocks, closing off a large swath of the city's downtown. Bodies remained on the pavement throughout the day as Lester said investigators worked to process a “really complex and complicated scene” to make sure investigators gathered all the evidence they could to “see the perpetrators of this crime brought to justice.”
This story has corrected the spelling of the suspect's first name to Dandrae, not Dandre,
Associated Press writers Stefanie Dazio and Brian Melley in Los Angeles, Don Thompson in Sacramento, Jacques Billeaud in Phoenix and News Researcher Rhonda Shafner in New York City contributed to this story.

WASHINGTON (AP) — An Algerian man imprisoned at the Guantanamo Bay detention center for nearly 20 years has been released and sent back to his homeland.
The Department of Defense announced Saturday that Sufyian Barhoumi was repatriated with assurances from the Algerian government that he would be treated humanely there and that security measures would be imposed to reduce the risk that he could pose a threat in the future.
The Pentagon did not provide details about those security measures, which could include restrictions on travel.
Barhoumi was captured in Pakistan and taken to the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2002. The United States eventually determined he was involved with various extremist groups but was not a member of al-Qaida or the Taliban, according to a report by a review board at the prison that approved him for release in 2016.
U.S. authorities attempted to prosecute Barhoumi in 2008 but the effort was dropped amid legal challenges to the initial version of the military commission system set up under President George W. Bush.
In the final days of Barack Obama's presidency in January 2017, a federal judge in Washington declined to intervene in the Pentagon's decision not to repatriate Barhoumi, whose lawyer said he had expected his client to be released and that the prisoner’s family had begun making preparations for his return, including by buying him a car and a small restaurant for him to run.
The Justice Department said then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter rejected the release of Barhoumi on Jan. 12, 2017, “based on a variety of substantive concerns, shared by multiple agencies,” without going into detail.
Barhoumi, who lost four fingers in a land mine explosion in Afghanistan, offered to plead guilty to any charges in 2012 in hopes he could receive a fixed sentence and return to his elderly mother, according to his attorney, Shayana Kadidal of the Center for Constitutional Rights.
“Our government owes Sufyian and his mother years of their lives back,” Kadidal said. “I’m overjoyed that he will be home with his family, but I will dearly miss his constant good humor and empathy for the suffering of others in the utterly depressing environment of Guantánamo.”
The effort to resettle prisoners languished under President Donald Trump. The Biden administration is attempting again to reduce the number of men held at Guantanamo as part of a broader effort to close the facility.
Barhoumi's release brings the total held at the U.S. base in Cuba to 37 men, including 18 who have been deemed eligible for repatriation or resettlement in a third country.

Mercer County man sentenced for retaliating against federal officer
Published: Apr. 4, 2022 at 6:32 PM EDT|Updated: 24 minutes ago
BLUEFIELD, W.Va. (WVVA) - A Mercer County man has been sentenced for retaliating against a federal officer.
Jeffrey Reed, 62, of Flat Top, was convicted by a federal jury after a two-day trial in August 2021.
Reed was found guilty of filing a fraudulent lien of nearly five-million dollars against an IRS revenue officer and the owner of the hotel he worked for in Oak Hill.
The Lien was filed in Mercer County in retaliation for a single wage garnishment Reed faced of $598.
Reed must now serve five years for the retaliation offense and concurrently serve three years for the attempted interference offense.
That sentence will be followed by three years of supervised release.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — There is a permanence to the Masters tournament, grounded in the fact golf’s first major championship is held at the same venue every year.
But over Augusta National Golf Club’s nearly 90-year history there has been a nearly endless parade of changes. The months between the 2021 and 2022 Masters have been no different, with significant changes to three holes:
- No. 11: The par 4 was lengthened 15 yards to 520 yards. The fairway was widened with some trees added right of the fairway in 2004 removed, though three large pines remain in the landing area. The 11th is now actually longer than the par-5 13th hole (510 yards).
- No. 15: The par 5 has gone from 530 to 550 yards with the fairway also seeing some modifications. Players going for 15 green in two over the pond face an even more daunting shot.
- No. 18: Thirteen yards were added to the back of the tee box, but the official length of the par-4 finishing hole remains 465 yards.
The added official yardage at 11 and 15 brings Augusta National’s total championship length to 7,510 yards, up from 7,475 in 2021.
Watching the skies
Weather could be a major factor in the 86th Masters tournament.
A strong storm front was expected to rake Augusta with 1-1½ inches of rain accompanied by gusty winds Tuesday, with more rain and wind forecast late in the day Wednesday.
There’s an early chance of rain for Thursday’s first round before conditions turn windier and cooler the first three days of the tournament, with highs only in the 60s Friday and Saturday.
Quoting Cam Smith
Cameron Smith, last year’s Zurich Classic of New Orleans winner with fellow Australian Marc Leishman, is sort of coming into this year’s Masters under the radar. Despite getting 16/1 odds to win from Caesars/William Hill, tied for third choice with 2020 Masters winner Dustin Johnson and world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Smith isn’t being talked up as a huge pre-tournament favorite.
And that’s just fine with him.
“I feel pretty confident where I am at the moment,” said Smith, currently ranked No. 6 in the world.
Smith has been on a serious run of good golf in 2022. He opened with a win in the Tournament of Champions in Maui then won The Players Championship in March and has been off since.
“I feel pretty hungry, mate,” Smith said. “Pretty good time of year to be playing good golf. You know, it's just nice to contend. Still been working hard the last couple of weeks at home, and, yeah, I really can't wait to get back out here this week.”
Nabbed by the fashion police
Players are allowed to practice wearing short pants on the PGA Tour but not at Augusta National, as Masters rookie Talor Gooch found out.
According to the Augusta Chronicle, Gooch was putting Saturday for about 15 minutes in shorts until he was informed of his fashion faux pas by the club’s co-head pro, J.J. Weaver. Gooch hastily found some black rain pants and continued to practice.

Good morning, everyone.
Even though BVB put in a pathetic performance against Leipzig and laid a dud in front of the 81,000 fans who attended, at least the atmosphere was cool:
Surreal. pic.twitter.com/p0aTsNDt4p

BVB in Shambles
As for the match, it was only the latest in a long line of listless performances from Die Schwarzgelben. A lot of BVB fans, myself included, are starting to suspect that the players have given up on the season and are simply phoning it in. Marco Rose seemed to suggest as much to Sport1.
There are players who want to leave the club, there are those who have to. We want to set up the group in such a way that we have a good feeling about starting some things in the summer. We want to adjust some things
All indications are that BVB are set for a total fire sale and rebuild over the summer.
Also, Manuel Akanji got into an argument with a fan while preparing to give a post-match interview on Saturday.

Who should BVB not sell over the summer?

Robin Hood of crypto: The 30-year-old billionaire who wants to give his fortune away
By Zeke Faux
The Economic Club of New York has hosted kings, prime ministers, and presidents, as well as Amazon.com’s Jeff Bezos and JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon. Central bankers’ comments at the 115-year-old organisation have moved markets. Sam Bankman-Fried, a 30-year-old cryptocurrency billionaire, is probably the first person to play a computer game while giving a talk.
As the featured guest one morning in February, Bankman-Fried is reclining on a gaming chair in blue shorts and a grey T-shirt advertising his cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, his mop of curly hair flattened by his headphones. He’s speaking by Zoom from his office in the Bahamas.
The novelty of appearances like this has long since worn off for Bankman-Fried, who’s testified before Congress twice since December. The previous weekend, he watched the Super Bowl from box seats just in front of NBA star Steph Curry—an FTX endorser. There was lunch with basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal and a party DJ’d by the head of Goldman Sachs. The singer Sia invited him to a dinner at a Beverly Hills mansion with Bezos and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, where Kate Hudson sang the national anthem and he chatted about crypto with pop star Katy Perry. The next day she told her 154 million followers on Instagram, in an unsolicited endorsement, “im quitting music and becoming an intern for @ftx_official ok”
Five years ago, Bankman-Fried was working for a charitable organisation that promoted the then-fringe idea of “effective altruism”: using scientific reasoning to figure out how to do the most good for the most people. Then he spotted a seemingly too-good-to-be-true pricing anomaly in Bitcoin and decided that, for him, the right path would be making tonnes of money to give away. Now, Bankman-Fried is one of the richest people in the world, with a fortune of more than $US20 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, after venture capitalists recently invested in FTX and its US arm at a combined $US40 billion valuation.
A crypto Robin Hood
For all his wealth, Bankman-Fried tells me his core philosophy remains the same. He’ll keep enough money to maintain a comfortable life: 1 per cent of his earnings or, at minimum, $US100,000 a year. Other than that, he still plans to give it all away—every dollar, or Bitcoin, as the case may be. He’s a kind of crypto Robin Hood, beating the rich at their own game to win money for capitalism’s losers. Yet he’s now part of the power structure that causes the problems he says he wants to fix.
As by far the richest person to emerge from the effective-altruism movement, Bankman-Fried is a thought experiment from a college philosophy seminar come to life. Should someone who wants to save the world first amass as much money and power as possible, or will the pursuit corrupt him along the way?
The way Bankman-Fried’s peers describe him, he sounds like a strange sort of capitalist monk. One says he worked so hard in the early days that he rarely showered. Another says he swore off relationships because he doesn’t have time. It seems like he views even sleep as an unnecessary luxury.
These days, Bankman-Fried lives in Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas. FTX is planning to build a 1,000-employee campus overlooking the ocean. For now it’s headquartered in a one-story red-roofed building near the airport.
Bankman-Fried lives like a college student perpetually cramming for finals. He drives a Toyota Corolla, and when he’s not at the office, he crashes at an apartment with 10 or so roommates, though it’s a penthouse at the island’s nicest resort. Bankman-Fried figures as many as five of his co-workers are also billionaires. All are around his age.
The crypto industry might seem like an odd choice for a do-gooder: It’s facilitated endless scams, turned ransomware into an industry, and sucks up tonnes of energy—as much as the country of Malaysia, by some estimates. Bankman-Fried doesn’t see it that way. He says FTX is running an honest market, checks customers’ backgrounds, buys carbon credits to offset its emissions, and is more efficient than the mainstream financial system. But it’s clear the main appeal for him is getting rich quick.
He smiles as he shares a chart that shows FTX growing faster than his largest competitors, such as Binance. The market is huge. FTX is only the No. 3 crypto exchange by volume yet handles $US15 billion of trading on a good day. Instead of shares of Microsoft, users are buying and selling Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin, and hundreds of other weird cryptocurrencies.
Bankman-Fried has set his sights on the US market, which is dominated by Coinbase. He wants to offer cryptocurrency futures, swaps, and options, which he sees as a potential $US25 billion-a-day market. If he succeeds in taking over crypto, the mainstream finance industry is next. “We’re sort of playing in the kiddie pool,” Bankman-Fried says. “Ideally, I would want FTX to become the biggest source of financial transactions in the world.”
The me-first ethics of the novelist Ayn Rand have been the inspiration of ruthless entrepreneurs from Uber’s Travis Kalanick to tech mogul Peter Thiel. Bankman-Fried’s capitalist muse is the utilitarian philosopher Peter Singer, a professor at Princeton and an animal-rights advocate. Bankman-Fried first came across Singer’s work when he was a teenager living in Berkeley, Calif. His parents are both Stanford law professors. His mother also runs an influential data-driven Democratic donor group, and his father trained as a clinical psychologist.
In writings since the 1970s, Singer has posed a deceptively simple ethical question: If you walked by a child drowning in a shallow pond, would you stop to pull her out, even if it would muddy your clothes? He then argued that if you’d do that—and who wouldn’t?—you have no less of a duty to save a faraway person from starvation by donating to an international aid group. Not giving large sums of money away is as bad as letting the child drown.
Bankman-Fried agrees, though he wasn’t always sure what to do about it. “It is very demanding, if you take it seriously,” he says. “But I do think it’s basically right. Like, if that’s the right thing to do, then I don’t want to deny that because it seems hard.” In 2012, when he was a junior studying physics at MIT, Bankman-Fried went to a talk by Will MacAskill, a 25-year-old doctoral student at Oxford who was trying to turn Singer’s ideas into a movement. He and his collaborators aimed to use mathematical calculations to figure out how individuals could do the most good with their money and time. They dubbed it “effective altruism.”
Over lunch, MacAskill told Bankman-Fried more about another one of his ideas: “earning to give.” He said that for someone of Bankman-Fried’s mathematical talents, it might make sense to pursue a high-paying job on Wall Street, then donate his earnings to charity. MacAskill estimated at the time that a successful banker who donated half her income could save 10,000 lives over the course of a career.
MacAskill’s ideas are controversial. Some say the ends don’t justify the means—that Wall Street perpetuates inequality and undermines whatever good might be done by donations. Others say the movement flatters the rich by painting them as heroes and fails to address the root causes of poverty.
But MacAskill’s pitch appealed to the young utilitarian. MacAskill, laughing, remembers Bankman-Fried’s matter-of-fact response: “He basically said, ‘Yep, that makes sense.’ ”
‘Odd’ prices that started it all
In 2017, Bankman-Fried happened upon a cryptocurrency website and noticed something odd. Crypto was in the middle of its first boom. The price of Bitcoin spiked 10 times that year, and investors sank almost $US5 billion into hundreds of “initial coin offerings,” or ICOs, many of them barely concealed scams.
Bankman-Fried, like many on Wall Street, didn’t understand crypto. What caught his attention was a page on CoinMarketCap.com that quoted prices from exchanges around the world.
“They have colossal risk appetite. They’ll try things that fail constantly. It’s calculated, and it’s smart.”
Dan Matuszewski, co-founder of the crypto investment fund CMS Holdings
Bankman-Fried saw that certain coins were selling for way more on some exchanges than others“That’s too easy,” Bankman-Fried recalls thinking. “Something’s wrong.”
Bankman-Fried recruited a few friends to help him with the project. There was Gary Wang, a housemate from MIT then working on flight data for Google; Caroline Ellison, a trader from Jane Street; and Nishad Singh, a friend of his younger brother’s who was then an engineer at Facebook. All were effective altruists who bought into Bankman-Fried’s pitch that this was their best chance to make and give away a lot of money. They moved into a three-bedroom house in Berkeley and dug into the arbitrage.
The obstacles to the trade were mainly practical. Bankman-Fried named his company Alameda Research to sound harmless. But US banks viewed cryptocurrency as so sketchy that some wouldn’t let him open an account. Japanese exchanges would allow only Japanese people to withdraw money in yen. So he opened a subsidiary in Japan and hired a local representative. Still, the business sounded fishy, and bank tellers would raise questions about his overseas wire transfers.
Once Bankman-Fried found willing banks, each day became a race. If they didn’t wire the money out of Japan before the branch closed, they’d miss out on that day’s 10 per cent return. Completing the cycle required the precision logistics of a heist movie. A team of people spent three hours a day in a US bank to ensure money transfers went through, and another team in Japan waited for hours at the front of the teller line when it was time to wire the money back. At the peak, Alameda was sending $US15 million back and forth daily and generating a $US1.5 million profit. Within a few weeks, before the price difference disappeared, the company had earned about $US20 million.
Few bets paid off as easily, but there were others that came close. Compared with the stock market, crypto offered fat targets because ordinary investors were piling in, and only a handful of smart-money players were hunting for arbitrages. In 2018, Bankman-Fried went to a Bitcoin conference in Macau where he met some of the other big players in the market and decided to stay at the centre of the action. He told his colleagues on Slack that he wouldn’t be returning to Berkeley. Eventually, many of them joined him in Hong Kong, which has more permissive regulations than the US.
Building his own crypto exchange
By 2019, Alameda was throwing off hundreds of thousands of dollars of profit a day, enough, by effective altruists’ logic, to save a life every hour if Bankman-Fried had chosen to give the money to the right charities. Instead, he and his colleagues decided to reinvest their winnings, partly into building their own crypto exchange.
It took Bankman-Fried’s crew four months to write the code underlying a new exchange, which opened for business in May 2019. FTX catered to big traders, offering dozens of different coins to bet on, complex derivatives like tokens with built-in leverage or index futures, and even bets on elections and stock prices. Crucially, traders could put up cash as collateral to borrow any coin they wanted, which some rivals didn’t allow.
It was a hit, in part because so many people wanted to use the exchange to trade with Alameda. Daily trading volume reached $US300 million by July of that year and an average of $US1 billion in 2020. FTX takes a cut of two basis points on most orders—that’s about $US9 in fees to buy one Bitcoin for $US45,000, the price in late March. That added up to revenue of $US1.1 billion for the exchange last year, and about $US350 million in profit, Bankman-Fried says. Dan Matuszewski, co-founder of the crypto investment fund CMS Holdings, says Bankman-Fried handled customer service at all times of day and solicited ideas for new things to trade. “They have colossal risk appetite,” says Matuszewski, who trades on FTX and also invested in the exchange. “They’ll try things that fail constantly. It’s calculated, and it’s smart.”
FTX, incorporated in the Caribbean country of Antigua and Barbuda, initially barred Americans from trading, though many professionals such as Matuszewski were able to access it because they already controlled offshore companies.
But the US market for crypto is huge. Rival Coinbase generates more than $US600 million a month in revenue, even though it offers only coins it argues don’t fall under SEC rules. In 2020, Bankman-Fried opened a US exchange with a limited menu of tokens to trade. He’s been on a marketing blitz for it since. On top of a Super Bowl commercial starring Larry David and naming the FTX Arena in Miami, he’s spent $US210 million to sponsor a video-gaming team and signed up endorsers including quarterback Tom Brady, former Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, and tennis star Naomi Osaka.He’s now pushing Congress for new rules that would allow him to offer more coins and crypto derivatives.
Young tech entrepreneurs like Bankman-Fried have turned the effective-altruism movement into a force in philanthropy. More than 7,000 people have pledged at least 10 per cent of their career earnings through a group run by the Centre for Effective Altruism. Dustin Moskovitz, a Facebook founder, donates hundreds of millions of dollars a year to charities the movement has identified as effective. Tesla’s Elon Musk enlisted a pro-poker-player-turned-effective-altruist to advise him on giving.
Bankman-Fried tells me he gave away $US50 million last year, including to pandemic relief in India and anti-global-warming initiatives. This year he says he’ll donate at least a few hundred million and up to $US1 billion, as much as the largest foundations.
Bankman-Fried now says his top priority is pandemic preparedness. A future disease outbreak, he says, could be as lethal as Ebola and as contagious as Covid-19. He’s funding an advocacy group headed by his younger brother that’s pushing governments to spend more, and he gave $US5 million to the nonprofit investigative journalism group ProPublica to cover the topic. “We should expect that pandemics will get worse over time and more frequent, just because of the possibility of lab leaks,” he says. “This has a nontrivial chance of destabilising the world if we don’t get prepared for it.”
I ask Bankman-Fried whether he ever has any doubt about dedicating his life completely to making money and giving it away. He presses his face in his hands for a few seconds before answering. “It’s not a decision that I constantly reevaluate, because I think it just doesn’t do me any good to be constantly reevaluating anything,” he says. “It doesn’t, minute to minute, feel to me like a decision anymore.”
Around 5 pm the day of the Economic Club talk, Bankman-Fried crashes, passing out first in his gaming chair, then curling up on the blue beanbag next to his desk, his elbow cradling his curly hair. After about an hour, Bankman-Fried stirs, eats a package of Nutter Butters, then closes his eyes again. During his catnap, traders will swap about $US500 million of Bitcoin, Ether, and other cryptocurrencies on his exchange, and FTX will skim off an additional $US100,000 or so in fees.

8 cheap hosting services to help you claim your corner of the web
We’re feeling a little philosophical, so riddle us this: If a tree falls in the woods, does anyone hear it? And if you don’t have your own website in the ever-crowded wilderness of the World Wide Web, do you really even exist?
Well, yeah. The answer is obviously “yes” to both. But just like that mighty toppling oak, there will be no one there to marvel at your greatness and sing your praises (and potentially bring you some business) if you don’t have a nice little corner of the web carved out for yourself. The question is, where you do you even begin?
Signing up for a web host is one of the very first steps to getting your website up and running, whether you’re running a small business, advertising your talents, or just blogging for fun. The trick is finding one that meets your needs and your budget: You shouldn’t be paying a premium for features you’ll never actually use (think unlimited storage and emails), but at the same time, some of the free options might not include all of the tools you need for your site.
Cheap hosting wasn’t always a thing, but many of the bigger providers out there now offer more affordable options that anyone can use to create their own website. These budget hosting plans usually come with fewer features than some of their premium counterparts, but they’re still perfectly sufficient for individual needs. (Plus, you can always upgrade in the future if you need to scale up.)
With that in mind, remember that not all cheap hosting services are created equal, and there’s still a lot you should take into consideration before entrusting one with your web presence. But don’t worry: We’re about to answer some of the most common questions on the matter so you can make the best possible decision for your cheap web hosting needs.
What is a web host, anyway?
Simply put, web hosting is a service that lets you rent out some space on a secure server where you can store files and post a website. You’re basically claiming a plot of internet land where your online content lives.
We’ll be talking specifically about cheap hosting plans that don’t cost more than $5 per month, but you can click here to check out a list of our favorite web hosts at all price points.
What’s the difference between cheap shared hosting and dedicated hosting?
Shared web hosting means your site will be hosted on a server that also hosts other people’s sites. No one else can see or touch your files, but you’ll all be able to tap into the same resources (i.e. storage and bandwidth). This drives down the per-person price of being hosted there, but since you share the same space and features, your site’s performance can be affected if another person’s site on the same server gets a lot of traffic.
On the flip side, dedicated hosting gives you a server all to yourself so you won’t have to worry about anyone else hogging resources. Plans are usually pricier for this kind of hosting, unfortunately, so prepare to share if you’re looking for a bargain on web hosting.
One happy medium can be a virtual private server (VPS) where server space is shared, but by much fewer sites — i.e., you’re far less likely to experience performance issues because of your server mates. This option is more expensive than shared hosting, but way more budget-friendly than going the dedicated route.
What is WordPress hosting?
WordPress itself is a free, open-source content management system (CMS) that’s ideal for creating highly customized websites, but especially blogs. If that’s the kind of site you’re going to be building, your best bet is to look into WordPress hosting. This is a special kind of hosting service that’s optimized for websites made using WordPress; it’ll make transferring your content from the WordPress CMS to your host’s server super easy, and typically stays pretty cheap. (Bonus: A WordPress hosting provider usually handles all of the backend updates and tech stuff, so you don’t have to worry about anything but your content.)
What can you reasonably expect to get with a cheap hosting plan?
Whether it’s a portfolio site for your photography, an online shop, or a simple landing page with your business’ basic contact info, your vision and needs for your website are ultimately going to dictate what parameters you should seek in a web host.
For example, you’re likely to get anywhere from 10 to maybe 25GB of storage included with a cheap hosting plan. That should be sufficient for simplistic, mainly text-based sites, but if you plan on uploading a good amount of high-quality images and videos, you’re better off splurging on an unlimited storage option.
As for limits on site traffic, you’ll find that most hosting providers offer unlimited bandwidth even with their lowest-priced plans. This means you won’t be charged extra or restricted based on the amount of traffic coming to your site. You might also see references to “unmetered” bandwidth, which is essentially a set amount of bandwidth that you can use to transfer as much data as you need. The maximum server speed may be limited, but you won’t incur an extra fee for heavy traffic.
Most budget hosting plans will also throw in a free domain for a year, and a free SSL certificate for your site. (That stands for Secure Socket Layer, a security protocol that encrypts your traffic.)
What are the non-negotiables when it comes to inexpensive hosting?
Regardless of how much space you’ll need or how much you’ll be paying to have your site hosted, any self-respecting web host (cheap or not) should be providing customers with solid support options 24 hours per day, seven days per week. You don’t want to be caught with your site down, period.
Along those same lines, you should absolutely not compromise when it comes to your web host’s uptime. If your site is down, your audience or customers cannot reach you, and that almost always results in lost sales and opportunities. (Seriously, your web host has one job — to host your site — so reliable uptime is not too much to ask.) Fortunately, most web hosts abide by guarantees of 99% uptime or better.
What should I look out for when choosing a cheap web hosting plan?
To keep costs low in the long term, make sure you read the fine print before committing to a budget hosting plan. Most web hosts offer multiple tiers of service, and they often sweeten the deal on mid- to high-level plans with special introductory pricing. It’ll seem like a bargain — and it is, at first — until it reverts to its regular monthly rate and you’re stuck paying for a bunch of features that you don’t actually need. You’re usually better off sticking with the lowest-tier option that only includes your must-have features, even if it technically costs more than a discounted premium package for your first few months.
Also, be on the lookout for providers that require you to commit to a long-term plan in order to score the lowest monthly price. If you’re not exactly sure what you’ll need over time or how much your site will grow, you’ll probably want to avoid a multiyear contract.
Now that you know what to look for, keep reading: Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best cheap web hosting plans for a variety of needs so you can score the best bang for your buck.

BMW has halted production at two German factories. Mercedes is slowing work at its assembly plants. Volkswagen, warning of production stoppages, is looking for alternative sources for parts.
For more than a year, the global auto industry has struggled with a disastrous shortage of computer chips and other vital parts that has shrunk production, slowed deliveries and sent prices for new and used cars soaring beyond reach for millions of consumers.
Now, a new factor — Russia’s war against Ukraine — has thrown up yet another obstacle. Critically important electrical wiring, made in Ukraine, is suddenly out of reach. With buyer demand high, materials scarce and the war causing new disruptions, vehicle prices are expected to head even higher well into next year.
The war’s damage to the auto industry has emerged first in Europe. But U.S. production will likely suffer eventually, too, if Russian exports of metals — from palladium for catalytic converters to nickel for electric vehicle batteries — are cut off.
“You only need to miss one part not to be able to make a car,” said Mark Wakefield, co-leader of consulting firm Alix Partners’ global automotive unit. “Any bump in the road becomes either a disruption of production or a vastly unplanned-for cost increase.”
Supply problems have bedeviled automakers since the pandemic erupted two years ago, at times shuttering factories and causing vehicle shortages. The robust recovery that followed the recession caused demand for autos to vastly outstrip supply — a mismatch that sent prices for new and used vehicles skyrocketing well beyond overall high inflation.
In the United States, the average price of a new vehicle is up 13% in the past year, to $45,596, according to Edmunds.com. Average used prices have surged far more: They’re up 29% to $29,646 as of February.
Before the war, S&P Global Mobility had predicted that global automakers would build 84 million vehicles this year and 91 million next year. (By comparison, they built 94 million in 2018.) Now it’s forecasting fewer than 82 million in 2022 and 88 million next year.
Mark Fulthorpe, an executive director for S&P, is among analysts who think the availability of new vehicles in North America and Europe will remain severely tight — and prices high — well into 2023. Compounding the problem, buyers who are priced out of the new-vehicle market will intensify demand for used autos and keep those prices elevated, too — prohibitively so for many households.
Eventually, high inflation across the economy — for food, gasoline, rent and other necessities — will likely leave a vast number of ordinary buyers unable to afford a new or used vehicle. Demand would then wane. And so, eventually, would prices.
“Until inflationary pressures start to really erode consumer and business capabilities,” Fulthorpe said, “it’s probably going to mean that those who have the inclination to buy a new vehicle, they’ll be prepared to pay top dollar.”
One factor behind the dimming outlook for production is the shuttering of auto plants in Russia. Last week, French automaker Renault, one of the last automakers that have continued to build in Russia, said it would suspend production in Moscow.
The transformation of Ukraine into an embattled war zone has hurt, too. Wells Fargo estimates that 10% to 15% of crucial wiring harnesses that supply vehicle production in the vast European Union were made in Ukraine. In the past decade, automakers and parts companies invested in Ukrainian factories to limit costs and gain proximity to European plants.
The wiring shortage has slowed factories in Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic and elsewhere, leading S&P to slash its forecast for worldwide auto production by 2.6 million vehicles for both this year and next. The shortages could reduce exports of German vehicles to the United States and elsewhere.
Wiring harnesses are bundles of wires and connectors that are unique to each model; they can’t be easily re-sourced to another parts maker. Despite the war, harness makers like Aptiv and Leoni have managed to reopen factories sporadically in Western Ukraine. Still Joseph Massaro, Aptiv’s chief financial officer, acknowledged that Ukraine “is not open for any type of normal commercial activity.”
Aptiv, based in Dublin, is trying to shift production to Poland, Romania, Serbia and possibly Morocco. But the process will take up to six weeks, leaving some automakers short of parts during that time.
“Long term,” Massaro told analysts, “we’ll have to assess if and when it makes sense to go back to Ukraine.”
BMW is trying to coordinate with its Ukrainian suppliers and is casting a wider net for parts. So are Mercedes and Volkswagen.
Yet finding alternative supplies may be next to impossible. Most parts plants are operating close to capacity, so new work space would have to be built. Companies would need months to hire more people and add work shifts.
“The training process to bring up to speed a new workforce — it’s not an overnight thing,” Fulthorpe said.
Fulthorpe said he foresees a further tightening supply of materials from both Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine is the world’s largest exporter of neon, a gas used in lasers that etch circuits onto computer chips. Most chip makers have a six-month supply; late in the year, they could run short. That would worsen the chip shortage, which before the war had been delaying production even more than automakers expected.
Likewise, Russia is a key supplier of such raw materials as platinum and palladium, used in pollution-reducing catalytic converters. Russia also produces 10% of the world’s nickel, an essential ingredient in EV batteries.
Mineral supplies from Russia haven’t been shut off yet. Recycling might help ease the shortage. Other countries may increase production. And some manufacturers have stockpiled the metals.
But Russia also is a big aluminum producer, and a source of pig iron, used to make steel. Nearly 70% of U.S. pig iron imports come from Russia and Ukraine, Alix Partners says, so steelmakers will need to switch to production from Brazil or use alternative materials. In the meantime, steel prices have rocketed up from $900 a ton a few weeks ago to $1,500 now.
So far, negotiations toward a cease-fire in Ukraine have gone nowhere, and the fighting has raged on. A new virus surge in China could cut into parts supplies, too. Industry analysts say they have no clear idea when parts, raw materials and auto production will flow normally.
Even if a deal is negotiated to suspend fighting, sanctions against Russian exports would remain intact until after a final agreement had been reached. Even then, supplies wouldn’t start flowing normally. Fulthorpe said there would be “further hangovers because of disruption that will take place in the widespread supply chains.”
Wakefield noted, too, that because of intense pent-up demand for vehicles across the world, even if automakers restore full production, the process of building enough vehicles will be a protracted one.
When might the world produce an ample enough supply of cars and trucks to meet demand and keep prices down?
Wakefield doesn’t profess to know.
“We’re in a raising-price environment, a (production)-constrained environment,” he said. “That’s a weird thing for the auto industry.”

PHOENIX (AP) — A judge has certified the Iraqi government’s extradition request for a Phoenix driving school owner on charges that he participated in the killings of two police officers 15 years ago in the Iraqi city of Fallujah as the leader of an al-Qaida group, sending the extradition decision to Washington to decide.
In the decision issued Friday in Arizona, U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael Morrissey concluded there was probable cause that Ali Yousif Ahmed Al-Nouri, who came to the United States as a refugee in 2009 and became a U.S. citizen in 2015, participated in the killings carried out by masked men in June 2006 and October 2006.
The U.S. Department of Justice confirmed it has no record of having ever before extradited anyone to Iraq under a decades-old a U.S.-Iraq treaty.
Despite inconsistencies in statements by people interviewed about both attacks, Morrissey ordered the extradition request be sent to Washington. He said an inconsistency from a person cooperating with authorities wasn’t enough to undermine probable cause in one case and that other statements made by a cooperator in the other killing are consistent in many significant details, even though there was an inconsistency in that person’s account.
The magistrate judge rejected Ahmed’s claim that his extradition isn’t allowed under a U.S.-Iraq treaty provision that bars extraditions for offenses that are political in nature. He concluded al-Qaida wasn’t part of an internal uprising or violent political disturbance under one court standard and instead that the killings were acts of international terrorism.
David Eisenberg, an attorney who represented Ahmed, didn’t immediately respond to a call Monday morning requesting comment on his client’s behalf.
Morrissey didn’t make conclusions about whether Ahmed is innocent or guilty of the charges or whether his extradition is warranted. Instead, he determined there was evidence of probable cause to support each charge and certified the request.
The decision on whether to extradite Ahmed to Iraq is ultimately up to Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s office, though the Justice Department typically plays a driving role in the extradition process. The Justice Department declined to comment on the decision.
Morrissey said the decision over whether humanitarian justifications should be used to refuse extradition is left up to the secretary of state, not the courts.
Prosecutors say Ahmed was seen by witnesses at the killings and later fled Iraq to avoid prosecution.
They questioned Ahmed’s credibility, saying he gave conflicting explanations on how he suffered gunshot wounds while in Iraq and that they could not determine why he spent time in a Syrian prison before moving to the United States.
Ahmed denied involvement in the killings and being a member of a terror group. His lawyers argued Ahmed wouldn’t get a fair trial amid the corruption in the Iraqi justice system and would likely face execution if he were forced back to his native country.
One of Ahmed’s earlier attorneys had questioned why it took more than a decade for Iraqi authorities to formally accuse her client and criticized accounts of the killings from informants who had “everything to gain by delivering the Trump administration a supposed ‘terrorist refugee’ in an election year.”
President Donald Trump’s administration had sharply criticized the Obama-era settlement program, questioning whether enough was done to weed out those with terrorist ties.
Nearly a year ago, a judge in Northern California refused to allow the extradition of Omar Abdulsattar Ameen, who was accused of committing a killing for the Islamic State, to Iraq. The judge said cellphone evidence showed Ameen, who was granted refugee status in the United States in 2014 on the grounds he was a victim of terrorism, was in Turkey at the time of the slaying.
In the first shooting in which Ahmed is charged, authorities say an attacker held a gun to a witness’ head, while another attacker who started to fire on a police officer experienced a malfunction with his gun.
Another attacker then killed police Lt. Issam Ahmed Hussein. The witness later identified Ahmed, who wasn’t wearing a mask, as the group’s leader, according to court records.
Four months later, Iraqi authorities say Ahmed and other men fatally shot Officer Khalid Ibrahim Mohammad as the officer was outside a store.
A person who witnessed the shooting recognized Ahmed, whose mask had fallen off, as one of the assailants, according to court records.
Ahmed’s attorneys had said the violence and turmoil in Iraq prompted their client to flee to Syria, where he lived in a refugee camp for three years before moving to the United States. Authorities said Ahmed spent time in a Syrian prison, though they couldn’t determine what landed him behind bars.
Defense attorneys say Ahmed volunteered in Phoenix’s refugee community and worked as a cultural adviser to the U.S. military, traveling to bases in other states to help military personnel as they prepared to deploy to the Middle East.
Ahmed bought a home on the northwestern edge of metro Phoenix and operated a driving school serving largely Middle Eastern immigrants. He has been detained since his arrest in January 2020.

No announcements on Judge extension as opening day nears
By MARK DIDTLER
Associated Press
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees star Aaron Judge and general manager Brian Cashman had no update on a contract extension for the slugger with a potential deadline looming later this week. There was some confusion about the situation after new YES Network analyst Carlos Beltran suggested during his debut broadcast for the Yankees’ spring game against Philadelphia that an extension had been completed, saying he was glad Judge was increasing his stay with the club. Beltran walked back the comment later, saying he hopes Judge will sign an extension.

Indiana Based Vodka Company Wants to Rename the Moscow Mule
With the world watching the Russian invasion of Ukraine, it has everyone glued to the news. Many stores have already pulled Russian vodkas from the shelves, so one Indiana-based vodka company wants to go a step further and show their support for democracy by renaming the Moscow Mule.
Who wants to rename the Moscow Mule?
Fuzzy's Vodka is American-made, and wants to get the classic cocktail renamed to the American Stallion Cocktail. They're actually a Hoosier-based brand too, as they're located in Indiana. According to IndianaOnTap.com their distilling and bottling operations are based out of Bloomington.
What is in the American Stallion Cocktail?
find exact measurements, here
Why the new name?
Fuzzy's Vodka said they want to do their small part to show support for democracy around the world. Here's what Fuzzy's Vodka said in a statement on their website about the rebranding of the cocktail:
It could seem rather silly to some; how does altering the name of a cocktail help people on the other side of the world? The answer is simple, change always starts small. Refusing to encourage the injustice and devastation caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a humble step, but one that Americans can make with pride when they order an American Stallion. Democratic freedom starts small, from ordering a cocktail at a bar to using our voices to stand up for our beliefs; it is not an ideal to take for granted. Spreading that unified desire for worldwide democracy is crucial, and believe it or not, it can begin with the transformation of a popular cocktail.
What do you think? Will you be ordering an American Stallion from now on?

Gender-Neutral U.S. Passports Are Coming Soon
Until last year, people listed as ‘male’ on official identity documents—birth certificates, driver’s licenses, etc.—had to either choose ‘male’ on their passport applications or submit medical certification explaining why they were entitled to choose ‘female.’ (And vice versa.)
That changed in June, when Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken announced that medical certification was no longer required. In other words, it doesn’t matter if your birth certificate lists you as female: You can choose ‘male’ on your passport application without having to answer to anyone. The update didn’t do much for passport applicants who don’t identify as male or female, but Blinken also mentioned that his team was working on a third gender marker that they could select instead.
Now, as The Verge reports, the Department of State has revealed what it is: “Unspecified or another gender identity,” abbreviated as X. As Blinken explained in a statement, “This definition is respectful of individuals’ privacy while advancing inclusion.”
Before making the decision, the State Department teamed up with the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics to conduct a survey of members of the LGBTQIA+ community and a diverse demographic of other participants. They also talked with countries that have expanded gender options on their own passports.
Starting Monday, April 11, you’ll be able to select X on applications for regular U.S. passport books that require only routine service, not expedited service or emergency issuance. X will be an option on those kinds of passport books—as well as passport cards and Consular Reports of Birth Abroad—sometime in late 2023. (And by that point, online passport renewals should be available, too.)

Wausau Pilot & Review
All northbound and southbound lanes of Hwy. 45 south of Antigo shut down Monday after a fiery crash south of County Hwy. C.
The crash was reported at about 12:10 p.m. Initial reports suggested the driver was trapped inside the vehicle, which had caught on fire, but the driver did escape.
The most recent report indicated the vehicle was on its side and the driver is not seriously injured. No additional details were immediately released.
The shutdown is expected to last at least two hours with traffic being entirely rerouted, according to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation.
This is a developing story.

After 25 years of business, Slickity Jim's is packing it in
Some sad news for the Vancouver food scene this afternoon.
Slickity Jim’s, the long-time Main Street “chat and chew” brunch joint, is packing it in after 25 years.
The restaurant shared a heartfelt message on its Instagram Monday afternoon that April 10th will be its last day of service.
View this post on Instagram
“A quarter of a century of serving Vancouver and it’s time to hang up the eggs for now.
It’s been our humble privilege to serve you all and I want to say thank you for supporting us over the years,” it shared.
“We have seen generations of regulars come through hallowed doors. The neighbourhood and the city have grown around us.”
While Slicks didn’t mention a reason for its closure, it added that the cost of doing business in the city “hasn’t been easy.”

The restaurant also noted that the community that formed around the beloved restaurant and “the friends that have been made and bonds that have been formed” is something it “will always look back on with pride.”
The long-time “chat and chew” isn’t leaving us without a glimmer of hope, though, hinting at the possibility of something new on the horizon: “Keep an eye out for our next endeavour as you never know where we may pop up.”
Slickity Jim’s has had several different locations around Vancouver over the years, including a sibling spot at West 7th that closed in early 2021. The first Slicks opened on Powell Street in 1997, and in 1999 it moved to Main and Broadway.
After a fire destroyed that location, it relocated to the current address of 3475 Main Street in 2011.
This Sunday will be its last day, so go pay them a visit one last time.

Address: 3475 Main Street, Vancouver

With stormy weather upon us, here’s how to keep food stored safely during a power outage
Many in the area have experienced power outages since Monday morning, but there may be more to come. With a wind advisory for Western Washington in place until 8 p.m., residents may want to think about how to keep their food safe during an extended power outage.
If you haven’t had a power outage or want to know what to do during and after, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends various ways to keep your food safe.
Before an outage, the CDC says to keep appliance thermometers in your refrigerator and freezer. The refrigerator temperature should be at 40 degrees or below, and the freezer should be at 0 degrees or below.
To prepare for an emergency, freeze containers of water and gel packs to help keep food cold. With these handy, you can remove your food from the refrigerator but still keep it cold. If the power is out for a long time, buy dry ice or block ice, which you can pick up from a local store, to keep food cold in the refrigerator.
During an outage, be sure to keep your refrigerator and freezer doors closed. If the doors stay closed, food in the refrigerator can stay good for up to four hours. Food in a full freezer can stay good for up to 48 hours. For a half-full freezer, food can stay good for up to 24 hours.
According to the CDC, if the power has been out for four hours, and you have a cooler and ice, put refrigerated perishable foods in the cooler. Add ice or frozen gel packs to keep them at 40 degrees or below.
After an outage, do not taste test food, and if you are doubtful if it is safe, throw it away. Throw out perishable foods (fish, vegetables, milk, meat, eggs, and leftovers) after four hours without power (or dry ice). Also, throw out any foods with an unusual color, smell, or texture. Testing temperatures of foods is also an option. Throw out any food that is above 40 degrees.
FoodSafety.gov, a website managed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, offers a detailed list of when to save food and throw it out. Check that out here.

After a few minutes inspecting fleur de sel salt flakes inside a sunbaked hothouse at Keahole Point, the westernmost point of Hawaii Island, I find delicious relief from a water fountain outside. Its gentle stream of deep seawater, drawn from a depth of 2,200 feet just a few hundred yards offshore, runs about 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
“Dip your wrist in it for 10 seconds and then put it on your neck to cool down,” advises Ipo Morgan, who is leading my small-group tour at Kona Sea Salt Farm. “You can also taste it—it’s not that salty.”
Nor is the brilliant white salt this water produces, with just 70 percent of the sodium of traditional table salt, according to Morgan. The water originates from glacial melt in Greenland that sinks and then slowly travels to the Kona coast via a “major conveyor belt of a current,” she says. “It’s like in ‘Finding Nemo’ when Nemo says, ‘I gotta go,’ but it doesn’t take a couple of days to get here—it takes 900 years.”
Hawaiians have put a high value on pa‘akai (“solidified sea”), or sea salt, for centuries. Polynesian voyagers who used it to preserve and season their rations would have found salt crystallizing in shallow areas of these rocky shores when they landed in 400 A.D., or earlier.
“The winter surges in particular bring waves that create pools of water on the rocks, and a month later there’s a deep layer of sea salt,” Morgan says. “We used to harvest it, but not as much today due to air pollution, land pollution, and microplastics in the ocean water.”
Nevertheless, Hawaiians continue to revere sea salt for its use as seasoning, as a remedy for a variety of ailments, and as a ceremonial source of blessing and purification. Melanie Kelekolio, Kona Sea Salt Farm’s chief salt maker, recalls growing up in South Kona in the 1970s and ‘80s with “uncle and aunties who would go and harvest the salt and would keep it separate from regular table salt.”
When a 7-year-old Kelekolio sliced her finger from the base to the tip during a beach outing, her parents took her home, boiled water, and added sea salt. “As sore as it was, I had to stick my finger in warmish-hot water and keep it in there. That was our way of cleaning it out and starting the healing process,” Kelekolio says.
Her family also reserved sea salt to sprinkle on pork destined for the imu, or underground oven, on black ‘a‘ama crab, and “a lot of the raw dishes.” At the end of my 45-minute salt farm tour, we got to try snowy white salt and a rainbow of flavored blends—Kelekolio says her favorites are garlic and lemon rosemary—sprinkled on small slices of cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and pineapple.
The farm’s hothouse is a prototype of a system that will eventually replace fan-cooled evaporating tunnels currently producing 32 tons of salt a year. Initially a side project of a company that produced astaxanthin, a popular anti-inflammatory supplement, salt harvesting became a full-time endeavor here in 2005. Acquired by Sea Salts of Hawaii founder Sandra Gibson in mid-2020, when it was on the brink of shutting down, the Kona Sea Salt Farm is the only source of deep sea Hawaiian salt and, along with Hawaii Kai on Molokai, is one of only two companies selling “Hawaiian salt” that actually comes from evaporated Hawaiian sea water, she notes.
“We thought it would be a real loss to Hawaii if that farm shut down,” says Gibson, who says she started her Honolulu-based company in 2012 after being introduced to the culturally prized tradition of salt making on Kauai years before.
Dayne Tanabe, chef of restaurants at Hilton Waikoloa Village for 18 years before becoming a private and pop-up chef in 2020, praises the “pure, clean flavor” of Kelekolio’s unadulterated sea salt as well as its resonance in local culture.
“Having a local small business harvesting pristine water to make fresh salts and flavored salts is a blessing for me as a chef,” he says. “Not only does it allow me to season my food with good flaky salt, but I also get to support a small local business and tell a story about it through my food that I cook for my clients.”
Thanks to the farm, guests like myself can now experience this salt right at the source.

This Is The Best Ultimate New Jersey Bucket List Ever
There is always going to be some disagreement on what the ultimate New Jersey bucket list would be. There are so many great things to do in the Garden State.
So, when I stumbled across this New Jersey bucket list from Two Scots Abroad, my first reaction was to roll my eyes, disagree, and dismiss it. That's a very New Jersey reaction.
But then I started to think about it, and I had to remind myself, this is a list for people who are not from New Jersey. If you are just visiting, your bucket list should include things that are going to give you a broad taste of what New Jersey has to offer.
And in that case, this list isn't half bad. Take a look at some of the items, many of them very basic, to see if you think they fit the bill.
Here are the places the bucket list suggests you visit...
The Victorian homes of Cape May.
Steel Pier in Atlantic City
Eat at a 24 hour diner.
There is completely nothing wrong with that. They even implore you to eat some pork roll and have a Tomato Pie. Good advice.
But there are so many very Jersey things that get left out on a list this basic. I can think of a half dozen off the top of my head. Here, let me rattle them off.
Eat a Jersey Mikes Sub
Make a sandcastle on a Jersey Shore beach
Catch a concert at PNC Bank Arts Center
Go on the rides on the Seaside Heights Boardwalk.
Look for the Jersey Devil in the Pine Barrens.
Find a good parking spot at the mall. Any mall.
See a game at Prudential Center.
To me, that might be a more detailed list, and it may apply more to people who live here, so, maybe we'll call that the deluxe bucket list.
