The Miami Marlins have spent decades as an afterthought. Now they’re heading to the playoffs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:37:39 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Kim Ng was well aware of the stakes when she became the Miami Marlins’ general manager in November 2020, stakes that extended well beyond whether she could resuscitate a franchise that’s spent most of its existence fighting for relevance within its own city.The first female GM of a major North American sports franchise understood she was a pioneer. A symbol, too. She embraced the daunting task of taking a franchise with limited support and turning it into a contender while being careful to avoid setting a timetable for success.Timetables invite judgment. Ng simply doesn’t see the world that way.“You’re never sure when it’s all going to come together,” Ng said.So rather than create some arbitrary deadline, Ng focused on the process of drafting and developing talent and sifting through rosters elsewhere in search of pieces she felt might fit.The process gained traction last winter with the hiring of relentlessly upbeat first-year Skip Schumaker, who...

Donald Trump arrives in court for a New York trial scrutinizing his business practices

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:37:39 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump showed up on Monday for a trial in a lawsuit that could cost him control of Trump Tower and other prized properties, after vowing to defend his reputation in a case he calls “a sham.”Trump, who built his political career on his fame as a billionaire real estate ace and master of “The Art of the Deal,” appeared voluntarily for a trial that has high stakes for him.New York Attorney General Letitia James’ suit accuses Trump and his company of deceiving banks, insurers and others by habitually lying about his wealth in financial statements.Judge Arthur Engoron already has ruled that Trump committed fraud in his business dealings. It is a non-jury trial, so Engoron will decide on six other claims in the lawsuit.James, a Democrat, is seeking $250 million in penalties and a ban on Trump doing business in New York. The judge’s ruling last week, if upheld on appeal, could force Trump to give up New York properties including Trump T...

Winners nearly always pick the cash option, which for Monday night’s drawing would be an estimated $478.2 million.A Powerball ticket cost...
