Mike Lupica: Other than money, Mets and Yankees have little to offer Shohei Ohtani

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:10:53 GMT

All along there’s been a big, big-city fever dream in the back of everybody’s minds that Shohei Ohtani ends up in New York, for all the talk that he’ll end up staying on the west coast once he become a free agent. Somehow the best baseball player in the world would come here the way Babe Ruth did over 100 years ago, and be that kind of star in a star town.But even if that were a real possibility, no matter how much of a longshot it is, ask yourself something:What exactly about the current state of the Mets and Yankees would make Ohtani even think about coming here?Because what we have found out this season, both sides of town, over $600 million spent on two teams whose combined record coming out of Wednesday night’s games was a combined seven games under .500, is that it takes more than money to win. A whole lot more than a whole lot of money.One team in last place, one in second-to-last. After Brian Cashman did next to nothing at the trade deadline, he said,...

A whirlwind recent stretch of trades, suspensions, chatter and wins puts the Chicago White Sox in the spotlight

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:10:53 GMT

The New York Yankees called on reliever Keynan Middleton in the fourth inning Wednesday against the Chicago White Sox.It was the right-hander’s first time facing his former team a few days after saying in an interview with ESPN and the New York Daily News that the Sox clubhouse had “no rules,” which received pushback from general manager Rick Hahn and manager Pedro Grifol.Some observed Middleton’s name was missing from Guaranteed Rate Field’s video board while he was on the mound Wednesday, creating social media buzz.“The omission was not intentional but resulted because of duplicate players listed under one uniform number on MLB’s downloadable Yankees roster,” the Sox said Thursday morning in a statement. “This glitch has arisen from time to time this season when multiple players have worn the same number for a team, and we regret it occurred tonight.”When you’ve had the type of recent stretch — and season R...

Opportunity awaits Bruins’ Trent Frederic

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:10:53 GMT

In case there were any doubts last summer, Trent Frederic proved that he is a bona fide NHL player in 2022-23. He proved he’s more than just a fourth liner as well.But still, as he’s about to embark on his sixth full pro season, it’s not fully clear what the 25-year-old Bruin forward’s ceiling is, or even where he should play in the lineup.Frederic, who narrowly avoided arbitration last week when he signed a two-year deal with an AAV of $2.3 million, enjoyed a breakout season in ’22-23, notching career highs in goals (17) and points (31).Developed as a centerman, Frederic played all three forward positions through the course of last season but he had his greatest success playing his off wing on the right side with center Charlie Coyle and left wing Taylor Hall.Hall is now a Blackhawk and Coyle is expected to bump up in the lineup with the retirement of Patrice Bergeron and expected departure of David Krejci. Where that leaves Frederic is anyone’s ...

Flash drought, invasive grasses, winds, hurricane and climate change fuel Maui’s devastating fires

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:10:53 GMT

Hawaii went from lush to bone dry and thus more fire-prone in a matter of just a few weeks — a key factor in a dangerous mix of conditions appear to have combined to make the wildfires blazing a path of destruction in Hawaii particularly damaging.Experts say climate change is increasing the likelihood of these flash droughts as well as other extreme weather events like what’s playing out on the island of Maui, where dozens of people have been killed and a historic tourist town was devastated. “It’s leading to these unpredictable or unforeseen combinations that we’re seeing right now and that are fueling this extreme fire weather,” said Kelsey Copes-Gerbitz, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of British Columbia’s faculty of forestry. “What these … catastrophic wildfire disasters are revealing is that nowhere is immune to the issue.”Here’s a look at the Maui fires, and what’s behind them:FLASH DROUGHTSFlash droughts are so dry and ho...
