Hot, Muggy Weather In Store

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:38:36 GMT

Editor’s Note: Tonight’s blog was written by 7Weather intern Tyler Hughes.The Summer ’23 weather pattern just won’t give up – we had even more scattered showers and storms move through the area this afternoon. As the sun goes down this evening, those storms will lose steam and we’ll start to clear out later tonight. Luckily, tomorrow will buck the trend – for a day, at least – continuing to warm up with sunny skies throughout the day. A great day to hit the beaches if you have some free time – temperatures will run in the low 80s along the coastline with a nice breeze.Inland, expect temperatures to climb into the upper 80s to around 90. There may be a spot shower tomorrow afternoon as a result of the sunshine, but I think this is relatively unlikely. Another great spot to be tomorrow – Fenway! The Sox take on the Braves tomorrow night, and temperatures around first pitch will be in the mid 80s.We’ll continue to turn u...

Orioles sign Jackson Baumeister, highest-drafted pitcher in Mike Elias era, for $1.6 million to complete 2023 class

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:38:36 GMT

Before the 2023 draft, the last time the Orioles selected a pitcher before the third round was in 2018 when they took a right-hander named Grayson Rodriguez No. 11 overall.The organization has displayed a clear preference for position players early in drafts since executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias took over in November 2018, with the Orioles using all 13 of their first- and second-round selections from 2019 to 2022 on hitters.That changed earlier this month when the Orioles selected Florida State right-handed pitcher Jackson Baumeister No. 63 overall in Competitive Balance Round B following the second round. Shortly before Tuesday’s 5 p.m. deadline for MLB teams to sign their draft picks, the Orioles announced they agreed to terms with Baumeister, who will be joining the No. 1-ranked farm system in the sport, according to Baseball America.Baumeister signed for just north of $1.6 million, according to a source with direct knowledge of the agreement.

Mets likely forgoing IL stint for Tommy Pham due to outfielder’s trade value ahead of deadline

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:38:36 GMT

Over the last two weeks, the Mets have continually lauded Tommy Pham for his honest assessments of his own health while dealing with groin soreness. The Mets trust that what he says is accurate and they appreciate the work he is putting into getting back on the field.“Tommy had another good day. He’s better today than he was Sunday,” manager Buck Showalter said Tuesday at Yankee Stadium ahead of the Subway Series. “I talked to him after he got through. We’re hoping that being able to turn him loose completely is imminent. He’s more available than he was yesterday to do some things. He’s a really good judge of where he is physically and he’s pretty frank about it. We trust him.”The trust is all well and good, but at this point, he’s been dealing with groin soreness and tightness since July 9. The Mets could’ve put him on the injured list but that would complicate his trade value.Pham and relievers Brooks Raley and Davi...

Haley returns to New Hampshire as campaign struggles to gain ground

HOLLIS, N.H. — Nikki Haley seems to be learning what voters want to hear — and what they don’t — as she travels.The former governor of South Carolina joined a small group of supporters in Hollis, N.H., the second in a pair of planned stops in the Granite State that comes as her presidential campaign struggles to keep up with other conservatives vying to unseat Donald Trump from the top of the Republican ticket and despite her blazing a campaign trail through the several early primary states.Haley, who served under the 45th President as his Ambassador to the United Nations, delivered an almost identical speech Tuesday to others she’s provided to first-in-the-nation primary voters before, complete with the same self-deprecating jokes about her personal and political past but occasionally varying outside of party talking points.The former governor seemed to surprise the audience somewhat when she made it clear that the current state of the economy cannot be laid...
