Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:24:28 GMT

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Philadelphia Phillies have decided two-time Most Valuable Player Bryce Harper is the team’s first baseman of the future, which means the franchise also is moving on from slugger Rhys Hoskins.Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski said Tuesday the front office and manager Rob Thomson came to the conclusion Harper was the best option at first base. The 31-year-old made 36 starts there this season after Hoskins tore his ACL during spring training.“We think he projects to be an outstanding first baseman,” Dombrowski told the AP at the GM meetings. “He’s willing to do whatever for the organization, and we just think for us, it makes us a better club now and as we go forward.“It gives us a really good, athletic infield that can be together for years.”Harper, an outfielder his entire career until Tommy John surgery last Nov. 23, made first base a good fit. Returning earlier than expected on May 2, he hit .293 with 21 homers and 72 RBIs ...

Warm, in fall

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:24:28 GMT

South Florida temperatures continue to run a solid 5-degrees above average (both day and night). This warm pattern will hold for several more days with quiet conditions remaining, too. High Pressure remains intact. It extends from the eastern Gulf of Mexico to the western Atlantic Ocean. Over time, we’ll see the high weaken and exit the region, shifting eastward. While that sounds like a significant weather change for us, it won’t be. The main difference includes the slow advance of a front into Florida. For the upcoming weekend, we’ll remain on the warm side of the boundary with mostly dry times. Then, into next week, the front will sag closer with more clouds and scattered showers. The latest forecast trend shows this next “fall front” crossing south Florida on Tuesday but winds quickly switch out of the northeast. That will limit the cooling potential and only allow readings to come down slightly. The main difference (on the other side of ...

Beloved mini horse on the road to recovery after health scare

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:24:28 GMT

A miniature horse in Swampscott is on the road to recovery after a serious health scare. The horse, named Fluffernutter, is 30-years-old and travels around with the nonprofit Minis With a Mission, which provides visits for people to connect with rescued mini horses and donkeys. “He’s been through a lot in his life, but he really just warms everybody’s hearts,” said Marianne Speranza-Hartmann of Minis With a Mission. In Swampscott, Fluffernutter has long been a community favorite. “Fluff is a bit of an enigma,” Speranza-Hartmann said. “He’s often grumpy when he’s at the barn. He doesn’t like to get caught. And he doesn’t particularly enjoy getting brushed or just being handled a whole heck of a lot until we go out into the community.” Fluffernutter stood as Swampscott’s Pride Pony in 2021 and marched as a reindeer in last year’s Christmas parade. Recently, he suffered a bout of Colic that put him in the hos...
