Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:53:01 GMT

To the delight of fans, the Mets are playing the kids.Rookies Brett Baty and Francisco Alvarez have been locked in as key players and for the most part find themselves on the lineup card on a nightly basis for the Mets. However, handing MLB responsibilities to rookies requires plenty of patience.Although Alvarez has made the adjustment from Triple-A to the big leagues seem smooth — .810 OPS in 46 games — Baty is experiencing his first extended stretch of struggles. The 23-year-old is slashing .188/.264/.234 since May 23 and has not hit a homer since May 19.“Nobody knows [if he’ll be OK in the big leagues] for sure,” said Buck Showalter prior to Saturday’s game against the Cardinals. “I could sit up here and smugly say I got it all figured it out and you know exactly what somebody’s going to do…“It’s part of it, [rookies] are all going to have some failure up here… Even veteran guys.

Spain’s Socialists have won the Barcelona mayor’s office after getting help from conservative rivals

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:53:01 GMT

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s Socialists received an unexpected boost from its main rival in next month’s national election on Saturday when his party won the mayor’s office of Barcelona following a tight vote at city hall.Sánchez’s Socialists, or PSOE, took a beating in local and regional elections in May when the conservative Popular Party routed leftist mayors and regional chiefs in votes across the country.The situation in Barcelona, however, was different. A party in favor of the Catalonia region seceding from the rest of Spain won the most votes by a slim margin over the Socialists. That left the Popular Party, which polled poorly in Barcelona, with the dilemma of either letting separatists rule the Catalan capital or helping the Socialists — PP’s leading opponent nationally.Xavier Trias of the pro-independence Together for Catalonia party said that he arrived to Saturday’s investiture vote believing he had the support n...
