Red Sox (offseason) notebook: Betts bets on Bauer

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:34:45 GMT

Mookie Betts announced himself as an unexpected advocate for former Dodgers teammate, Trevor Bauer, to get another chance in Major League Baseball.“My experience with Bauer is not anything remotely close to what everyone else’s experience is. I love him, I think he’s an awesome guy. The personal things? I have no control,” the former Red Sox star told the LA Times while at the World Series filming content for the league. “He’s an awesome pitcher. He’s a great guy.”Betts and Bauer were teammates on the Dodgers in 2021, after Bauer signed a three-year, $102 million contract. That June, a San Diego woman sought an order of protection against Bauer, and alleged that he’d committed sexual battery against her on two occasions. MLB placed him on administrative leave – and extended said leave nine times – as they investigated.In April 2022, the league handed down an unprecedented 324-game suspension, more than twice the length of the previous record, under their Joint Domestic Violenc...

Callahan: Could Bill Belichick coach the Washington Commanders next season?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:34:45 GMT

Sure, it’s hard to picture.Bill Belichick pacing another sideline in another team’s colors, sneering and snorting at another team’s press conferences after 24 years in New England.Then again, so was a 2-6 start to this season.And a sub.-500 record for Belichick over a three-and-a half-year span.And a Belichick-coached team ever sitting last in the AFC, having committed the second-most penalties in the league with the NFL’s third-worst turnover margin.Yet, here we are.The Patriots are a bad football team. Their roster is starved for blue-chip talent and a quarterback of the future. Belichick hand-picked every person in his locker room, front office and coaching ranks. He is responsible for everything.If the Pats continue charging toward a 4-13 or 5-12 finish, it only reasons the door could swing open for Belichick to leave this January. Few NFL coaches or GMs survive a four-year run with a 45% winning percentage, let alone when that person is one and the same....

COLUMBIA, S.C.

A stabbing attack that killed 1 woman and wounded 2 men appears to be random, California police say

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 10:34:45 GMT

IONE, Calif. (AP) — A woman was killed and two other people wounded in an apparently random stabbing rampage in a Sierra Nevada foothills community allegedly carried out by a man who was on parole for attempted murder, authorities said.The stabbings occurred Monday at three locations in a neighborhood in the small city of Ione, police Chief John Alfred told reporters Tuesday. Ione is in the foothills of Amador County southeast of Sacramento. All the victims had multiple stab wounds and a knife was recovered, the chief said. There did not appear to be any connection between the victims, and the violence appeared to be random, he said. A 34-year-old man was arrested on a street where two of the attacks occurred. “He’s being held on no bail right now,” Alfred said.It wasn’t immediately clear whether criminal charges had been filed against the suspect or whether he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf. An email to the county district attorney’s office seeking that i...
