Yankees’ Giancarlo Stanton (elbow injuries) getting closer to making season debut

The Yankees are close to getting their postseason hero back in the lineup.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman provided an encouraging update on Giancarlo Stanton, who is recovering from tennis elbow in both elbows.

“Stanton has been doing everything,” Cashman said on MLB Network Radio.  “He’s kind of completed his base running now. He’s been hitting for a long time with that tremendous BP machine we have, so he’s been getting live at-bats. He’s scheduled for live BP for the next two weeks and I think he’s getting really close to doing a rehab assignment thereafter.”

The 35-year-old hasn’t played since his postseason tear for the 2024 American League Champions.

Stanton’s return will cause some uncomfortable conversations as the Bombers have one too many bats with not enough spots to put them. Aaron Boone is already rotating three outfielders in two spots with Cody Bellinger, Jasson Dominugez and Trent Grisham. Now, the Yanks will have two DH’s in Ben Rice and the returning Stanton.

How Boone will split up playing time will be something to keep an eye on early. Rice is slashing .245/.335/.858 with 10 homers and 22 RBI in 44 games this season and has been statistically one of the hardest hitters in baseball.

The Bombers haven’t exactly struggled without Stanton either. They lead the AL in batting average, OPS, home runs, RBI’s and virtually every other offensive category.

Stanton enjoyed a bounce-back 2024 regular season as well. After posting. a .695 OPS in 2023, the veteran slashed .233/.298/.475 with 27 homers and 72 RBI in 114 games,

Mobbed-up Long Island cop staged fake raid at rival ‘Sal the Shoemaker’ gambling parlor: feds

A mobbed-up Nassau cop working behind-the-scenes for the Bonanno crime family staged a fake raid to shut down a gambling parlor run by rival Genovese gangster Salvatore “Sal the Shoemaker” Rubino, federal prosecutors charge in new court filings. Now-fired Nassau County Police Department Detective Hector Rosario allegedly had a side gig working for the Bonanno crime family — and the Bonannos considered Rubino’s gambling den in his Merrick, L.I. shop, Sal’s Shoe Repair, the competition, the feds say. So in 2013 or 2014, two Bonanno members paid Rosario to shut the place down and Rosario got to work, according to a January filing by federal prosecutors. The two Bonannos who gave the order are expected to sing at Rosario’s trial in Brooklyn Federal Court next month. Neither are named in the court filings. One of the informants, a Bonanno associate, is expected to testify he was in the room when Rosario and his “associates” barged into Rubino’s shoe repair shop, broke one of the gamb...

Unclaimed Funds Archive

What are unclaimed property and unclaimed funds? Perhaps you forgot to cash a check, overpaid a bill, or didn’t know you were the beneficiary of a long-lost relative’s life insurance policy. There are many reasons why you may be owed money and not be aware of it. That is why banks, insurance companies, courts, corporations, and other organizations are required by law to attempt to notify you by mail and publish information regarding unclaimed property in the newspaper. What happens to unclaimed property? Organizations have between one and five years to try to reunite account holders with their property, depending on the state and industry. After that “dormancy period,” the funds are turned over to the state. The NY State Comptroller will hold on to unclaimed funds indefinitely, just waiting for you to file a claim. How to find lost money: Search for your name—and your family members’ names—in the unclaimed property and funds lists published in the New York Daily News, linked below...
