Endure and survive: Orioles who lasted through rebuild grateful to be ‘on the other side’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:42:48 GMT

Six years ago, before the Orioles’ most successful run in decades bottomed out, Anthony Santander surveyed the outfield at Double-A Bowie and made a proclamation to Cedric Mullins and Austin Hays.“We are the future of this organization,” he told them.As the Orioles prepare for their first full post-rebuild season, the trio is all part of Baltimore’s present. Pitchers John Means and Dillon Tate join Santander, Mullins and Hays as the five Orioles who played for the team each year from 2019 to now, a group that weathered the struggles through the rebuild to be part of the organization as it turns toward competitiveness.“You don’t want to go back,” Means said. “You want to stay as far away from those years as possible.”After a five-year stretch as the American League’s winningest team from 2012 to 2016, the Orioles collapsed to close the 2017 season, a prelude to a franchise-worst 115-loss campaign in 2018 in which they traded...

ASK IRA: Might Heat finally cash in on their leading investments?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:42:48 GMT

Q: Ira, I like the tight rotation at the end. Erik Spoelstra knows who wins. Wonder what Pat Riley thinks about all that money sitting on the end of the bench? – Seth.A: With Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Kyle Lowry and Tyler Herro (with his impending extension) there wasn’t much money on the bench at the finish Sunday, save for Duncan Robinson. When Pat was coach, he would do the same, play his best in the biggest moments and shorten his rotation when the games meant the most. You could see at the end in Detroit how much Kyle can settle a team at the finish (and how much Caleb Martin can energize). It will be interesting to see if Kyle automatically is forced to sit out a game in the next back to back. And you know it won’t be in Toronto, which will make the game in New York all the more curious.Q: UM, FAU, Heat. Ira, it’s a basketball town. – Len.A: Sure feels like a lot of March madness. Although there also was a different version of March madness in th...

Trump silent on abortion as 2024 campaign pushes forward

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:42:48 GMT

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — No elected Republican has done more to restrict abortion rights in the U.S. than Donald Trump.But in the early days of the 2024 presidential contest, no Republican has worked harder to avoid the issue than the former president. Far more than his GOP rivals, Trump is sidestepping the issue just nine months after he and his party celebrated the Supreme Court’s decision to strip away women’s constitutional right to abortion.Look no further than Trump’s trip to Iowa last week for evidence of his delicate balancing act.Moments after he stepped off his plane just outside Davenport, Trump repeatedly refused to say whether he would support a federal law restricting abortion in every state, a move that anti-abortion activists are demanding of the GOP’s presidential contenders.“We’re looking at a lot of different things,” Trump said when asked twice by The Associated Press whether he supports a federal abortion ban. The former president quickly shifted...
