• Alexander: A general manager’s job isn’t what it used to be

  21-01-2022 02:20 via ocregister.com
  
  The Dodgers introduced new general manager Brandon Gomes on Thursday, which serves as a reminder that they’ve technically gone three seasons without a GM.
  A couple of decades ago that would have been heresy. After all, we are surrounded in our daily lives by fantasy league general managers who wheel and deal, not fantasy league presidents of baseball (or football, or basketball) operations.
  But front offices throughout sports and particularly in baseball have changed dramatically. Where a

  ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A jury of 18 people who appeared mostly white was picked Thursday for the federal trial of three Minneapolis police officers charged in George Floyd’s killing, a case that the judge told potential jurors has “absolutely nothing” to do with race.

  SACRAMENTO – During my first trip to Salt Lake City, I wandered from my hotel room in search of a drink, found a modest pub and went to order a beer or three. “Sir, this is a private club,” the bouncer told me. I headed toward the door feeling dejected and confused. This certainly doesn’t look like an exclusive joint.
  At that point, the bouncer started laughing, realizing that I was the latest out-of-towner who was unaware of Utah’s Mormon-inspired booze laws. He co

  The Port of Los Angeles had a “landmark” 2021 that included moving more container units in a calendar year than any Western Hemisphere port had ever done, but also myriad challenges, such as ships parked for miles outside the harbor and a workforce pressed to its limits, Executive Director Gene Seroka said Thursday, Jan. 20.

  History has had a nasty habit of repeating itself with the Miami Dolphins during the past decade, if not two.
  No matter how hard the franchise tries to steer a different course, it keeps traveling down the same path, making similar mistakes, and the people who record that history need to take some ownership for this ride on the mediocrity merry-go-round.
  At least I do, because not all of Dolphins’ history has been recorded properly, or done in a timely fashion.

  Mortgage rates climbed for the fourth consecutive week, reaching the highest level since the start of the pandemic.
  The average for a 30-year loan was 3.56%, up from 3.45% last week and the highest since mid-March 2020, Freddie Mac said in a statement Thursday.
  Rates followed a recent jump in yields for 10-year Treasuries. Borrowing costs may continue to increase as the Federal Reserve eyes a rate hike to dampen surging inflation.

  LOS ANGELES — As a pitcher, Brandon Gomes was not a unique talent.
  A 17th-round draft pick in 2007, he made the majors in 2011 and had an ERA-plus of 92 – just below league average – over parts of five seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays. Even once he debuted in the big leagues, he was never secure in that status and pitched as much in the minors (163 1/3 innings) as he did in the majors (167) before retiring in June 2016 after being released from the Chicago Cubs’ Triple-A t
