NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Los Angeles Angels will not trade three-time AL MVP Mike Trout, general manager Perry Minasian confirmed at MLB’s winter meetings on Tuesday.Minasian responded to the annual questions about Trout’s future with the underachieving Angels by providing the same answer he has given in past years — and the same answer given by owner Arte Moreno’s previous general managers.“Mike Trout will not be getting traded, 100%,” Minasian told MLB.com and other outlets.Trout is under contract through 2030, and he makes $35.45 million annually with a full no-trade clause. But even after he missed significant portions of the past three seasons due to injuries, his future in Anaheim remains an annual topic of debate due to his formidable talent and the Angels’ annual failures to achieve any team success.The 32-year-old Trout has participated in one playoff series and has never won a postseason game in a 13-year career spent entirely with the Halos.

By CHRISTINA A. CASSIDY (Associated Press)ATLANTA (AP) — An effort to access voting system software in several states and provide it to allies of former President Donald Trump as they sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election has raised “serious threats” ahead of next year’s presidential contest, according to a group of experts who urged federal agencies to investigate.The letter sent by nearly two dozen computer scientists, election security experts and voter advocacy organizations asks for a federal probe and a risk assessment of voting machines used throughout the country, saying the software breaches have “urgent implications for the 2024 election and beyond.” The breaches affected voting equipment made by two companies that together count over 70% of the votes cast across the country, according to the letter.“The multistate effort to unlawfully obtain copies of voting system software poses serious threats to election security ...

Why Celtics could benefit after being eliminated from In-Season Tournament

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 18:32:45 GMT

Jayson Tatum didn’t hide his frustration after the Celtics lost to the Pacers in the quarterfinals of the In-Season Tournament, which forced them to go home to Boston instead of a free trip to Las Vegas for the semifinals.“I wanted to (expletive) go to Vegas,” Tatum told reporters in Indiana, flashing a mild smirk. “I didn’t want to go home. I wanted to go to Vegas, so yeah I’m mad. Next year, I guess.”Added Jaylen Brown: “It’s unfortunate for us that we’re not going to Vegas, but I guess we’ll have to settle for Encore in Boston.”Certainly, there should be some disappointment for the Celtics as their hopes of claiming the first in-season tournament championship came to an end. It certainly does not replace the ultimate goal of an NBA championship, but the IST proved as something of a playoff simulator. It was an opportunity for growth for a group that’s figuring out how to get over the hump. Not to mention the incentives of a trip to Vegas and a significant cash reward.But it’s als...

The Red Sox are expected to add multiple starting pitchers to bolster their rotation this winter, but until they actually do the club is also preparing its younger arms to shoulder the load.Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Alex Cora said they’ll be stretching out Garrett Whitlock and Tanner Houck, and presumably Kutter Crawford as well, but the Red Sox manager also made a point to highlight Josh Winckowski as a guy to watch, too.“(Winckowski is) somebody that towards the end of the season I viewed more as a reliever than a starter, but with the information provided and the new group, there’s a new vision with him,” Cora said. “I’m not saying he’s going to be a starter but he’s a guy that can go multiple innings with his stuff and the characteristics of his pitches against lefties and righties. So stretch everybody out, that’s what they’re working at and we’ll see what happens in the upcoming weeks and months.”A...
