A’s can look to resurgent Orioles as a model for their deep rebuild

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:44:52 GMT

By Noah Trister | The Associated PressNo matter where the A’s play their home games in the coming seasons, the franchise has a lot of ground to make up before returning to relevance.Roster teardowns, one-sided trades and other poor personnel decisions have razed a team that until recently was one of the league’s shining examples of how to get the most out of less. Despite consistently having one of the league’s lowest payrolls, the A’s reached the playoffs three straight years from 2018-20 and six times in nine seasons starting in 2012.This season, the A’s are 53 games under .500 (33-88) and are going to give the 1962 New York Mets a run for their money for the worst record in the modern era.Along come the revitalized Baltimore Orioles, who open a weekend series at the Coliseum on Friday night, a recent league laughing stock that is providing a glimpse at how quickly fortunes can change – even on a modest budget.Two years after losing 110 games, the Orioles are suddenly overfl...

Pilots made errors before crash near Lake Tahoe that killed all 6 on board, investigators say

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:44:52 GMT

Errors by the two pilots caused a business jet to go into an aerodynamic stall and crash near Lake Tahoe in 2021, killing all six people on board, federal investigators said.The co-pilot made a mistake in making a steeply banked left turn in an effort to fix a poor approach and line up with one of the runways at Truckee-Tahoe Airport in California, the National Transportation Safety Board said Thursday.The captain failed to correct the co-pilot’s error, and both ignored stall warnings from the plane, said the NTSB.The pilots were cleared to land on one of the airport’s two runways, which are perpendicular to each other, but calculated that they needed to use the longer runway because of the weight of their twin-engine Bombardier Challenger 605 jet.Related ArticlesCrashes and Disasters | ‘The absolute best’ – firefighters who died in California helicopter collision remembered Crashes and Disasters | Fatal Marin County plane crash report cites preliminary fi...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:44:52 GMT

Mortgage rates climbed above 7% this week to their highest level since 2002, throwing more cold water on the Bay Area housing market as buyers face soaring monthly home loan payments that are thousands of dollars more than a few years ago.The average rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage was 7.09% as of Thursday, up from 6.96% last week, Freddie Mac reported. That’s an increase from 5.13% a year ago and more than double the historic-low 2.86% average rate this time in 2021.A 30-year fixed “jumbo” home loan — which is common for more expensive homes — averaged 7.65% on Thursday, according to Bankrate.com. In the Bay Area, a jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds $1,089,200.Mortgage rates have been on an upward trajectory since last spring when the Federal Reserve began raising the cost of borrowing in a bid to slow inflation. Rates briefly topped 7% percent in November, before falling to around 6% in February. They’ve trended up since then.Related ArticlesReal Estate | ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:44:52 GMT

Buster Posey’s plans to return to the Bay Area may have stirred up some speculation about managing the Giants down the line, but don’t count on No. 28 returning to the dugout.Posey recently told The Athletic that his family is moving back to the Bay Area, having packed up his home in Georgia earlier this month after moving there in 2022.Posey, 36, said the Bay Area truly felt like home: Posey and his wife Kristen’s two sets of twins were born during Posey’s career in San Francisco, one set born in 2011 and another adopted in 2020.His move will allow the former catcher to watch the Giants more often and see team’s new wave of players, led by Patrick Bailey at his old position.But the move has also led to some speculation: Could this be a sign that Posey wants to manage? 95.7 The Game’s “Morning Roast” hosts Bonta Hill and Joe “Butcher Boy” Shasky seem to think so.Could Buster Posey be in line to manage the #SFGiants?https://t.co/kxGHU5kO0Yhttps://t.co/r6XYJ5UyOV pic.twitt...
