Yankees slow-playing Giancarlo Stanton due to elbow issues, Opening Day status uncertain

TAMPA — With Yankees position players reporting to camp on Sunday, Aaron Boone shared a few new injury updates. The most notable pertained to Giancarlo Stanton , who is “a little behind” due to some issues with both of his elbows that date back to late last season and the playoffs. Stanton, who enjoyed a torrent postseason , played through the soreness last year. Boone called the problem “akin to tennis elbow.” “We’ll slow-play him a little bit,” Boone said. “It’s just something we don’t want to rush. We can get to a really good spot, and we know we’re gonna have to probably deal with some maintenance with it throughout the year, but we just don’t want to force anything too early. “This is something that, if we’re full-bore in, we’d be grinding away probably. But we just want to make sure we give it the proper time.” Stanton shut down recently and has been getting treatment, but Boone said the designated hitter has not received any injections or undergone any procedures. At this ...

Trump moves with dizzying speed on his to-do list, but there are warning signs in his first month

By WILL WEISSERT, JOSH BOAK and LINDSAY WHITEHURST WASHINGTON — As President Donald Trump approaches the first-month mark in his second term, he has moved with dizzying speed and blunt force to reorder American social and political norms and the economy while redefining the U.S. role in the world. At the same time, he has empowered Elon Musk , an unelected, South African-born billionaire, to help engineer the firing of thousands of federal employees and potentially shutter entire agencies created by Congress. Those efforts have largely overshadowed Trump’s crackdowns on immigration and the U.S.-Mexico border, and his efforts to remake social policy by wiping out diversity, equity and inclusion programs and rolling back transgender rights. The president has also imposed scores of new tariffs against U.S. trade partners and threatened more, even as economists warn that will pass costs on to U.S. consumers and feed inflation. Here’s a look at the first four weeks: Mass federal ...

Luigi Mangione breaks silence in first public statement since UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting

Luigi Mangione has publicly spoken out for the first time since his arrest for the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson , thanking his supporters in a statement released on a new website launched by his legal team. “I am overwhelmed by — and grateful for — everyone who has written me to share their stories and express their support,” Mangione said. “Powerfully, this support has transcended political, racial and even class divisions, as mail has flooded MDC [the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn] from across the country, and around the globe.” “While it is impossible for me to reply to most letters, please know that I read every one that I receive,” he continued. “Thank you again to everyone who took the time to write. I look forward to hearing more in the future.” Theodore Parisienne/New York Daily News Luigi Mangione, suspect in the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, is seen here at the South Street Heliport after arriving on a NYPD helicopt...

Mets Notebook: Catcher Francisco Alvarez working on mental side of game

PORT ST. LUCIE — Spring training is typically when players start to put their offseason work into practice. When it comes to Mets catcher Francisco Alvarez , there is a lot he is putting into practice, since he worked on “everything” over the winter. Alvarez overhauled his swing at a facility in Atlanta, moving his offseason training to the Peach State for the first time. In the past, he did his winter training in Miami, but on a recommendation from former Mets slugger J.D. Martinez , Alvarez worked at Maven Baseball Lab this winter. A second-half slump that saw him hit only .184 with seven home runs led him to make changes, seeking a more balanced approach at the plate. He also worked on defense, framing and strength. But it was an emphasis he put on the mental side of the game that he thinks could be the most important change for him in his third big-league season. “A lot of people want to get better. The body is going to get better in baseball, but I really think this game is me...

Kanye West, Bianca Censori have no prenup amid conflicting divorce reports

Sources say Kanye West and Bianca Censori have no prenup amid conflicting reports the controversial couple is on the precipice of divorce . Insiders with direct knowledge told TMZ the embattled rapper, 47, and Yeezy architectural designer, 30, did not sign such an agreement before tying the knot in late 2022 — weeks after he finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian. One such source told the outlet that both parties contacted divorce lawyers this week, while another insider said a rep for West — who now legally goes by Ye — first reached out to an attorney last fall. That unnamed lawyer reportedly passed on representing the “Heartless” rapper . The couple have been a fixture in headlines since earlier this month, when Censori appeared at the Grammy Awards in a fully sheer dress that essentially left her nude. Days later, Ye launched an antisemitic tirade on X , dubbing himself a Nazi, praising Adolf Hitler and proclaiming “dominion” over his wife. He followed that by dropping ...

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...
