Chicago White Sox are still aiming for ‘a significant step forward’ to make up ground in the AL Central

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:36:02 GMT

The Chicago White Sox understood June would present some major tests as they tried to climb back into contention.“We looked at the schedule going into Yankee Stadium and then playing a good Marlins team and going to Dodger Stadium and Seattle and now playing a really good Texas team that we knew this path was going to be difficult for this two-, three-to-four-week stretch leading up to the (All-Star) break, and we’ve been a tick under .500 in that stretch,” general manager Rick Hahn said before Monday’s game against the Rangers at Guaranteed Rate Field.“So it hasn’t been devastating, but it absolutely hasn’t been a significant step forward.”The Sox are still aiming to take those steps.Starting with the first game of that Yankees series on June 6, the Sox were 5-7 entering Monday’s series opener against the Rangers.They were 11 games under .500 (31-42) and in fourth place, but still just 5 1/2 games out of first in the American Le...

Justin Verlander returns to Houston to face Astros for first time

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:36:02 GMT

HOUSTON — The last time Justin Verlander was in Minute Maid Park, he was on the field celebrating with his Houston Astros teammates. It was his second World Series win with the Astros and his first since getting married and becoming a father. Verlander and model Kate Upton wed just days after the Astros won the World Series in 2017.It’s been a strange year for Verlander. He returned to his first Major League home in Detroit in May and now returns to his second in Houston with the Mets desperately trying to turn their season around. Verlander himself is trying to recapture the form he had with the club down the hall last season when he won the American League Cy Young Award.“A lot of changes in my life while I was here,” Verlander said Monday in the Minute Maid Park visitors clubhouse. “A lot of maturity as a person as a player. That 34-40 age range, I feel like, naturally, in life that’s kind of like a new chapter in a lot of people’s storie...

Column: Adbert Alzolay growing more comfortable as the Chicago Cubs’ de facto closer

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:36:02 GMT

Back in spring training when the Chicago Cubs’ bullpen picture was still fuzzy, manager David Ross said he never felt the need to label anyone as his closer.When you don’t have a closer, you can’t have a closer controversy.Still, it was assumed veteran Michael Fulmer would inherit the role based on his recent experience closing games, and that generally was how the season unfolded in April.But 2 1/2 months in, the look of the back end of the bullpen has changed dramatically. It now appears Adbert Alzolay has taken the closer’s role and run with it.Or has he?“He’s at the back end of our game, for sure,” Ross said. “Is he our closer? You could say at the moment, if it matches up best … him and (Mark) Leiter, we’ve kind of flipped through those pockets. It just seems to be as of late, Leiter’s pocket has been coming in the eighth.”It’s understandable if Ross doesn’t want to mess with success. But no one...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:36:02 GMT

Two teachers at the O’Bryant School of Mathematics and Science wrote an open letter outlining broad concerns with the proposal to move the school to West Roxbury announced weeks ago.“We understand that many students, staff, and families have conflicting feelings about this proposal, but as long-time BPS teachers, we believe moving Boston’s most diverse exam school to the least T-accessible neighborhood in the city is not in the best interests of our students,” wrote history teacher Aparna Lakshmi and English teacher Robert Comeau in a letter published on Schoolyard News.The letter comes nearly two weeks after Mayor Michelle Wu and Superintendent Mary Skipper announced a proposal to move the O’Bryant to a West Roxbury Educational Complex and expand Madison Park Technical Vocational High School — two schools that currently share a campus.Officials noted the proposal will take several years to implement. The first remote community meeting on the O’Br...
