That’s on top of the more than $500,000 in court-ordered payments to Trump attorneys she’s already been ordered to pay.The civil litigation is officially unrelated to Trump’s arrest and charges filed against him in New York, but both involved Daniels, who was paid $130,000 in hush money during the 2016 presidential campaign to keep quiet about an affair. (Trump denies the affair.)Daniels had sued Trump in 2018 after he called an allegation by Daniels that an unknown man threatened her in a parking lot to keep quiet about her all...

Grayson Rodriguez is back home.Baltimore’s top pitching prospect was promoted to the Orioles and will make his major league debut Wednesday in his home state of Texas against the Rangers, the club announced. He’ll wear No. 30.Rodriguez, a consensus top 10 prospect in baseball, was expected to make the Orioles’ rotation to open the season, but he instead began the year in Triple-A Norfolk after struggling in spring training.In a corresponding move, the Orioles placed starting pitcher Kyle Bradish on the 15-day injured list with a bruised right foot. Bradish took a 104 mph line drive off his foot during his start Monday. The right-hander threw one warmup pitch before exiting the game in the second inning.While Tyler Wells’ five-inning relief outing led the Orioles to a 2-0 win Monday and saved an already-fatigued bullpen, it didn’t change the calculus that the Orioles would need a different starting pitcher for the series against the Rangers now that Well...

Passive and aggressive? All part of Heat’s Jimmy Butler channeling his inner Dwyane Wade

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:31:01 GMT

This was before Jimmy Butler started trolling. This was as Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was finishing off his pregame interview Tuesday and the subject turned to whether Butler should take a more aggressive bent considering his remarkable seasonlong efficiency.Understand, this also was before Butler did not attempt a single shot in the first quarter Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons, not even an attempt that drew a foul. This also was before Butler attempted only a single shot in the second period, a missed layup with 1:41 left before halftime in what would turn into a scramble of a victory.But even then, Spoelstra wasn’t biting.“We’re both abundantly on the same page about his assertiveness and aggressiveness, and the whole team is, as well,” Spoelstra said. “We don’t want him to defer at all. He’s ridiculously efficient and he’s been getting more efficient every single year. I think he has just a better feel for how we wan...
