Chris Getz has been on the job as the Chicago White Sox general manager for a little more than a week.“It’s slowing down a little bit in regards to just getting settled in,” Getz said Saturday afternoon. “But every day I wake up, I’m energized. Can’t wait to, whether it’s get to the ballpark or just starting work for that day.“Whether it be jumping on phone calls, talking to our staff, whatever it is, I’m not lacking energy to get through my 24 hours.”Getz discussed the improvements the Sox are looking to make offensively, defensively and on the mound for 2024 and beyond before Saturday’s game against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park.Coming into Saturday, the Sox ranked 22nd in the majors in batting average (.241) and 28th in OPS (.687).“When you talk about our offensive group, it’s been frustrating,” Getz said. “(Friday) night was a game we at least capitalized on some opportunities (in the...Column: Chicago Cubs’ luck runs out in 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, their 3rd straight

The ability to avoid losing streaks fueled the Chicago Cubs in their surge from a sub-.500 team to a postseason contender.They hadn’t lost more than two straight games since the start of July, when they dropped three in a row.But their 3-2, 10-inning loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday before 40,391 at Wrigley Field ended that two-month stretch of consistency, and the third straight loss to their closest wild-card pursuer left them a game ahead of the Diamondbacks for the second spot.“We went through obviously some struggles and challenges early in the year, but this is a resilient bunch,” shortstop Dansby Swanson said. “We’ve proven time and time again we will bounce back. These games have been competitive. It’s not like we’re laying down.“I felt like we’ve put a lot of effort in. It just hasn’t happened for us. We’ve got so many great players at some point it will (even out). Sometimes you’ve got to g...San Diego homeowners are the least likely to sell homes at loss in the nation: study

SAN DIEGO -- Homeowners in San Diego are the least likely sellers in the country to lose money if they put their house on the market, according to a new study.The study, which was conducted by the real estate company Redfin, analyzed real estate data from 50 of the most populous metro areas in the U.S. to get a sense of current market trends. San Diego had the lowest share of homes sold at a loss -- only 1.1%, the study found -- over a three-month period that ended in July 2023. Nationwide, the share of homes sold for less money than they were purchased was around 3%. Affordable housing coming to Mission Valley along San Diego River trail Homeowners in Boston, Providence and Kansas City came close behind San Diego, according to Redfin -- all reporting a share of sales that came under the seller's original purchase price of about 1.2%.For San Diego homeowners that did sell for a loss, the study found that the average difference between what they paid and the price it was sold at wa...Group sues after New Mexico governor suspends right to carry guns in Albuquerque in public

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s emergency order suspending the right to carry firearms in public in and around Albuquerque drew an immediate court challenge from a gun-rights group Saturday, as legal scholars and advocates said they expected.The National Association for Gun Rights and Foster Haines, a member who lives in Albuquerque, filed documents in U.S. District Court in New Mexico suing Lujan Grisham and seeking an immediate block to the implementation of her order.The challenge was expected, but even so, the governor’s action Friday was an attempt to “move the debate,” said Jessica Levinson, a law professor at Loyola Marymount’s Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, after Lujan Grisham announced that she was temporarily suspending the right to carry firearms in her state’s largest city and surrounding Bernalillo County. The governor, a Democrat, said the 30-day suspension, enacted as an emergency public health measure, would apply in most public places, from c...Woman dead after daylight stabbing in downtown Toronto, police say

We were terrified, the house was shaking so hard, it was like the floors were moving,” Richards said in a phone interview on Saturday.“There were waves in the pool. We thought for sure the walls were coming down. We did not expect to get out of this without damage.”When it stopped, Richards said, “we could hear screaming and crying .. it was awful.”Their rental home escaped with only a few new cracks, Richards said, but brick...Presidents Obama, Clinton and many others congratulate Coco Gauff on her US Open tennis title
