Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:59:24 GMT

The Orioles’ best starting pitcher in the first half of the season is now in Double-A.Baltimore optioned Tyler Wells down to Double-A Bowie after his third straight ineffective start Saturday, the team announced Sunday afternoon.The Orioles selected the contract of right-hander Joey Krehbiel as the corresponding move. To make space for Krehbiel on the 40-man roster, they designated right-hander Eduard Bazardo for assignment.A month ago, Wells was undoubtedly the Orioles’ best starting pitcher and was seen as a potential All-Star candidate. He posted a 3.18 ERA and an MLB-best 0.927 WHIP before the All-Star break. He covered at least five innings in each of his 18 first-half outings.However, the 6-foot-8 right-hander has struggled mightily in his three starts since the break.

Patriots training camp Day 5: Matt Judon limited, Bailey Zappe and two rookie WRs shine

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:59:24 GMT

FOXBORO —According to Matt Judon, his reduced participation at Patriots training camp is all part of the plan.A plan designed by himself, the Patriots’ coaches and training staff to keep him fresh for the long season ahead. His would-be sack of Mac Jones during one competitive 11-on-11 drill in Sunday’s practice exemplified this mindset. Judon’s sack was one of just three snaps he took in competitive team periods all day, his rest seemingly paying off immediately.Except Sunday’s practice followed a rare day off for players. And Judon basically sat out one of the preceding three practices. How much rest does an eighth-year veteran need? Or is it more contract-related than he’s explained?Judon, according to Herald sources, does want his contract reworked. But indications and reports suggest a new deal isn’t imminent, despite Judon only having $2.5 million guaranteed left on his deal and being underpaid relative to the current market. So what does hi...

Massachusetts lawmakers need to move on tax cuts, cooperate with audit: MassGOP chair

Published Thu, 26 Dec 2024 19:59:24 GMT

The state needs to pass a short-term capital gains tax cut offered by the governor and the House if lawmakers want Massachusetts to stay competitive, according to the head of the MassGOP.Amy Carnevale, the chair of the Massachusetts Republican Party, on Sunday pointed to the state of business sentiment in the Commonwealth — stressing that proposals to lower the tax, from 12% to 5% offered by Gov. Maura Healey and lawmakers, must pass this year if legislators wish for their constituents to stay in the Bay State.“We’ve seen business confidence in Massachusetts dip now to under 50% when typically it has been in the neighborhood of 60%. So, that’s an indication that our Legislature should be running to act on measures designed to keep businesses and individuals here in this state,” Carnevale said during an interview with WBZ’s Jon Keller.Alongside the budget proposal offered at the start of her term, the governor unveiled a $742 million tax cut proposal which would lower the capit...
