Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:12:24 GMT

By JOSHUA GOODMAN and SARA BURNETT (Associated Press)MIAMI (AP) — Former President Donald Trump gave a wave and a signature thumbs up to crowds outside the federal courthouse in downtown Miami after pleading not guilty to criminal charges. He then headed to a local Cuban restaurant where he warmly greeted waiting supporters in a camera-ready scene that resembled a campaign stop. In the largely unseen moments on Tuesday — his attorney entering his plea, Trump sitting grim-faced with arms folded across his chest — the gravity of being the first former president charged with a federal crime was apparent.In the seen moments, broadcast around the world in real time, there was a long motorcade, flag-waving supporters and a smaller number of anti-Trump protesters outside the courthouse. Then the former president and 2024 candidate had a detour in mind, to a popular Cuban restaurant where he was all smiles, greeted by supporters, prayed over by a rabbi and shadowed by his ...

Yankees Notebook: Team staying patient with Anthony Volpe as rookie struggles

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:12:24 GMT

With Oswald Peraza sizzling at Triple-A and Anthony Volpe struggling in the majors, some have wondered if the latter needs a minor league reset.However, that doesn’t appear to be something the Yankees are considering, as Hal Steinbrenner said the club hasn’t discussed the possibility of demoting Volpe, per MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch. The owner added that he told Volpe at the end of spring training that the Yankees weren’t just giving the 22-year-old a three-week audition when the team named him the starting shortstop.“You can benefit from so many things in this game,” Aaron Boone added when asked if it was best for Volpe to experience growing pains in the majors. “Like there’s not the end-all answer. My feel and my belief in Anthony is that the cream is gonna rise to the top. I believe in his ability and the person, that he’s going to be an outstanding player in this game, and we’ve seen signs of that already all year. He’s...

Francisco Lindor on the Mets’ recent outings: ‘It’s a difficult stretch’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:12:24 GMT

Francisco Lindor isn’t to blame for the Mets’ recent stretch of uninspiring play, but he has shouldered much of the burden as one of the team’s leaders. It’s been a strange season for the shortstop.One year after receiving NL MVP votes, Lindor is hitting just .216 with an OPS+ of 96. However, he does have 12 home runs, which is tied for second on the team with Francisco Alvarez. He made a brutal error over the weekend in Pittsburgh in the first of a three-game series, the same day Gucci released their collaboration on a custom glove.The timing wasn’t great, but just about everything this season has been off for the Mets. Heading into the start of the Subway Series on Tuesday, the Mets were 31-35, good enough for fourth place in the NL East. An underperforming club has been searching for answers for the last month, maybe even longer, which has been the most frustrating part.“It’s been difficult in that sense of, there are days I can’t e...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 17:12:24 GMT

If the expectations were that Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. were going to light up the field on the first day of minicamp, then Tuesday’s practice was a disappointment.In the first of three mandatory workouts, the Ravens looked very much like a team trying to learn a system implemented by new offensive coordinator Todd Monken.Jackson was solid but could have been better, especially during the opening seven-on-seven period. As for Beckham, he practiced like a veteran who has been in the NFL since 2014 and was once considered one of the game’s top players.He did very little.Beckham participated in some individual drills but was held out of most of the team-oriented drills.It was all planned, some of it by Beckham. First of all, Beckham is trying to rebound from a torn ACL that forced him to miss all of last season. Then there is the superstar status. A lot of them don’t participate in offseason team activities, regardless if the...
