Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:11:36 GMT

Pedro Grifol sets expectations roughly seven to 10 days at a time.“I don’t talk about anything past (that),” the Chicago White Sox manager said recently. “I think it keeps you in the moment. It keeps you right where you’re thinking about, ‘OK, where am I right now? Where do I need to be in the next five days seven days?’“When you get caught up too far ahead, you don’t worry about what’s going on right now. You lose sight of what you need to accomplish in this particular moment.”This seven-day period will include a first — Grifol’s debut as a major-league manager in a regular-season game with the Sox.That comes Thursday night against the defending champion Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. But even Tuesday morning, Grifol’s mind wasn’t on the trip, rather the final game of the spring against the Cubs.“Maybe (Wednesday) you can ask that questions and I’ll say, ‘Yeah, I’m...

It’s a personality Piven said he understood and admired after growing up in the Chicago area.“I g...

Seth Moulton lays out transportation vision, but says MBTA is too much of a ‘mess’ to implement it

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:11:36 GMT

U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton laid out a transportation vision for the state, something he said has been lacking for the past decade, but noted that since the MBTA is such an “epic mess,” it’s in no position today to take on his rail transformation initiatives.Moulton said that while incoming MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng can’t turn around the struggling agency on his own, he is responsible for rebuilding its current team, which includes making key hires, firing underperforming employees, and transforming its culture to make it a place where people want to work.“The first thing he needs to do is make a very clear and public change to the organizational culture, because the fundamental reason they have such serious staffing problems is because, understandably, people don’t want to work at the T,” Moulton told the Herald on Tuesday.“I mean the organization is a mess and he needs to signal to everybody who’s considering applying for one of these jobs, that this is not the T that you’ve bee...

Seattle, feds seek to end most oversight of city’s police

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 10:11:36 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — The U.S. Justice Department and Seattle officials asked a judge Tuesday to end most federal oversight of the city’s police department, saying its sustained, decade-long reform efforts are a model for other cities whose law enforcement agencies face federal civil rights investigations.Seattle has overhauled virtually all aspects of its police department since DOJ investigators in 2011 found officers were too quick to use force and too often escalated encounters to the point where force was necessary.Since then, officials say, the use of serious force is down 60% and the department has new systems for dealing with people in crisis, responding to complaints of biased policing, supervising officers and identifying any who get physical too often.Both sides asked U.S. District Judge James Robart to terminate their 2012 settlement agreement, known as a consent decree, which gave the court oversight of reform efforts.However they agree that more work remains to be done in two...
