MLB Notes: Revisiting the Mookie Betts trade, and all its ramifications

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:27 GMT

How much different would things be today if the Red Sox had never traded Mookie Betts?So much has changed that it’s impossible to know for sure, but for better or worse the decision forever altered the trajectories of two franchises and left a sour taste in the mouths of Red Sox fans that lingers to this day.Even after three and a half years there is still disagreement over the deal’s ultimate legacy. Was it a disaster for Boston or a difficult decision that was ultimately worth making? Was it a blunder of Ruthian proportions or a gamble that could eventually lay the foundation for the next great Red Sox contender?It’s a complicated question with no simple answer, but those who look at it through the lens of “Betts vs. No Betts” aren’t seeing the full picture.Let’s break it down.First, the background. The Red Sox traded Mookie Betts and right-hander David Price to the Dodgers in exchange for outfielder Alex Verdugo and prospects Jeter Downs ...

Teachers turn to AI to make workload more manageable, chart lesson plans

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:27 GMT

Jessica Reid has thought about quitting the career she’d dreamed of since childhood hundreds of times.Until recently, she was overwhelmed by her workload as an elementary school teacher— planning lessons for all subjects, creating behavioural support plans for students, grading, not to mention actual classroom time — while also raising three young kids of her own.But then Reid turned to artificial intelligence, joining droves of other teachers who say the technology keeps their workload manageable, especially as they chart the course for a new school year.“I really wanted to dedicate this summer to exploring some of these AI tools and how to help me in my planning and my administrative duties,” she said from her home in Muskoka, Ont.“Either I was sacrificing my family and using my evenings and weekends on hours and hours of planning, or I was dedicating more time to my family and … didn’t feel like I was doing my students justice,” she said....

Baltic Black Sea Defence Alliance

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:10:27 GMT

The Baltic-Black Sea defence alliance will complement the Crimean platform and protect Europe's eastern borders.On 23 August Volodymyr Zelenskyy suggested creating a security alliance between the countries that have access to the Baltic and Black Seas. Ukraine has come up with similar initiatives before: on 5 December 2014, the Alliance of Baltic-Black Sea Nations was established in Kyiv with the main goal of fighting against Russia's imperial policy and liberating the occupied territories of Ukraine and Georgia. But given Putin's full-scale war against Ukraine and the total militarisation of the Russian Federation, such a proposal takes on a completely different meaning: no country neighbouring Russia can feel safe anymore. This is the meaning of the proposal voiced by Zelenskyy. The Baltic-Black Sea defence alliance should strengthen the defence potential of the CCE countries (in fact, turning them into a "mini-NATO") and anticipate potential risks and threats from Russia. The cha...
