And the Sox are 14-9 since, the best record in that span in an American League Central in which almost every team is looking to find its footing.While still in fourth place and nine games under .500 (21-30) entering Thursday’s series opener against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, the Sox had made up 3½ games on the first-place Minnesota Twins since April 30 and were 5½ games behind.“We were talking about it (Tuesday) night, it’s crazy we went through a 10-game losing streak and had a lot of injuries early on and haven’t even come close to playing to our potential, yet we’re only 5½ back,” left fielder Andrew Benintendi told the Tribune on Wed...

Clash of the budgets on Beacon Hill

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:15:55 GMT

State senators approved a fiscal 2024 budget proposal Thursday that puts lawmakers in the chamber immediately at odds with their House counterparts, who passed a proposal last month that included online Lottery and free school meals at public schools.After a multi-day debate, the Senate pushed forward a document that allows some illegal immigrants to qualify for in-state tuition at public colleges or universities, shuttles millions to regional transportation authorities, and provides no-cost calls for local inmates.But the House and Senate will have to hash out what to do over the House and Gov. Maura Healey-backed proposal to allow people to buy and play state Lottery games online, something Treasurer Deb Goldberg has said is essential for the gambling service to compete with the rise of digital sports betting.Top Senate officials have argued the idea is not yet ready for prime time and an amendment from Sen. Paul Feeney, a Foxboro Democrat, that would have weaved online Lottery au...

Randy Vasquez, the 12th-best prospect in the Yankees’ system, will make his major league debut Friday when he takes the mound against the Padres.The right-hander, who arrived at Yankee Stadium around 2 p.m. Thursday, said that he expects to start. Aaron Boone, meanwhile, said that Vasquez will pitch “in some way, shape or form,” which means the Yankees could use an opener. Boone wanted to see what the Yankees’ pitching usage looked like Thursday against the Orioles before making a final decision.Either way, Vasquez, 24, will realize a lifelong dream.“Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to pitch in the big leagues,” said the Dominican native, who received words of encouragement from fellow countryman Luis Severino. “So very exciting that it’s going to be tomorrow.”Vasquez, who described himself as a pitcher with “tenacity” and “someone who wants to be dominant,” has had mixed results while throwing at Triple-A...

Renters lament homeownership

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:15:55 GMT

Finding an affordable home in 2023 is like finding a needle in a haystack made of other needles.At least, that’s the sentiment expressed by most U.S. renters.A new study found that 72% of renters are convinced they’ll never be able to afford a home. The findings come from Home Bay, a real estate education platform, which polled 1,000 renters about their feelings toward homeownership, the housing market, and the American Dream.The answers reveal a fundamental pessimism about the trajectory of the real estate market. Two in three renters, 66%, said current home prices make them feel hopeless, and just over a quarter, 28%, said homeownership used to be, but is no longer, part of the American Dream.The New Generational GapRenters’ view of the housing market is stark, especially since they’ve spent the last few years watching house-rich homeowners benefit from price appreciation – fueling the perception of haves and have-nots.Quite often, the line between th...

After a week marred by broad-daylight shootings, with at least one of them fatal, Boston’s mayor and top cop convened a press conference to lay out their plan for a safe summer.“They’re still ongoing investigations,” Police Commissioner Michael Cox said from the media room at headquarters Thursday afternoon when questioned by a reporter about the spate of gun violence in broad daylight so far this week, adding that even “one act of violence is too many.”“This is not the city for that,” Cox said about the gun violence. “We are capturing people that are committing crimes in our city. … Come here to live, not to commit violence or to bring guns or have firearm-related incidents here. And if you do it, we’re going to do all we can to make sure we separate you from the rest of the folks that are trying to live a good life here.”Just earlier in the day, the BPD had identified Daniel Mayers, 33, of Haverhill, as the man shot to death while sitting in his vehicle near Lilla G.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Thursday announced what he said is the most ambitious and comprehensive undertaking by the U.S. government to fight hate, bias and violence against Jews, outlining more than 100 steps the administration and its partners can take to combat an alarming rise in antisemitism.
