Lucas Giolito on veteran leadership and “very talented” new teammate Vaughn Grissom

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:23:09 GMT

Lucas Giolito won’t get to bond with the newly-traded Chris Sale about swapping White Sox for Red Sox, but he’s already gotten to know one of his new teammates.“I met him last offseason, and he’s a very talented kid,” Giolito said, when speaking to reporters over Zoom on Wednesday evening.He was talking about none other than Vaughn Grissom, the infielder acquired from the Atlanta Braves in the shocking Sale trade on Dec. 30. The veteran starting pitcher and the barely-out-of-rookie-eligibility infielder are both represented by the same agency. Said agency put together a slew of workouts and events in Los Angeles, so Grissom flew out to partake. “(We) worked out together for a few days and I think we went to, like, a Lakers game or something like that,” Giolito recalled. “Looking forward to getting to know him better.”Grissom made his Major League debut at Fenway Park – and hit his first career home run over the Green Monster – wh...

Defense carries undefeated Westwood past Norwood, 48-39

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:23:09 GMT

WESTWOOD — Whether it was in man-to-man or zone, the Westwood boys basketball team’s defense was not going to allow much against Norwood on Wednesday night.With a suffocating effort on that end of the floor, and just enough on the other, Westwood (6-0) stayed perfect with a 48-39 victory.“(We want to play like that) every night,” Westwood coach Ryan Douglass said. “That’s our identity. We know we have plenty of firepower on offense. We’ve got guys who can come off the bench and score for us. What really matters is what we do on the defensive end.”Norwood (4-2) only scored two points in the first quarter. Westwood only allowed six points in a pivotal third quarter. The Mustangs only made their first 3-pointer of the game with 2:03 to play. It was a defensive clinic, and bodes well for a Westwood team that wants to make a deep tournament run in Division 2.Offensively, junior Eli Ifrah scored 16 points, including two treys. Senior forward Andre...

Unsealed court records offer new detail on old sex abuse allegations against Jeffrey Epstein

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:23:09 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Amid great hype, a court began to release a new batch of previously secret court documents late Wednesday related to Jeffrey Epstein, the jet-setting financier who killed himself in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges.Social media has been rife in recent weeks with posts speculating that the documents would include a list of rich and powerful men who were Epstein’s “clients” or “co-conspirators.”There was no such list. The initial collection of around 40 documents made public largely contained material that had been released previously, or exhaustively been covered in nearly two decades’ worth of newspaper stories, TV documentaries, interviews, books about the Epstein scandal.Still, the records — which included transcripts of interviews with some of Epstein’s victims — included reminders that Epstein surrounded himself with famous and powerful figures, including a few who have also been accused of misconduct.They included mentions of Epstein’s past f...

New Mexico regulators reject utility’s effort to recoup some investments in coal and nuclear plants

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Regulators rejected on Wednesday an effort by New Mexico’s largest electric utility to recoup from customers millions of dollars of investments made in a coal-fired power plant in the northwestern corner of the state and a nuclear power plant in neighboring Arizona. The Public Regulation Commission’s decision means Public Service Co. of New Mexico customers will not have to bear some costs associated with PNM’s stake in the Four Corners Power Plant near Farmington or in the Palo Verde Generating Station outside of Phoenix. Commissioners said those investments were not prudent.Overall, residential customers will see a decrease in rates instead of the 9.7% increase that the utility was seeking.The commission said in a statement that PNM still will be able to collect a reasonable return on its investments while providing reliable service to more than 500,000 customers around the state.PNM filed a request for its first rate hike in years in late 2022, sayi...
