The right hander did issue 4 walks to only 2 strikeouts, but his command is not a true concern moving forward. A 5.80 ERA would turn surface-level bettors off, but his underlying numbers are more supportive of his skillset. Faedo has a 3.98 xERA thanks to a solid batted ball profile that features a 70th percentil...

West Ham continue to negotiate Edson Alvarez transfer fee

West Ham United are locked in talks with Ajax over a deal for Mexican midfielder Edson Alvarez, 90min understands. Alvarez has emerged as one of West Ham's top targets this summer, and is the choice of recently appointed technical director Tim Steidten. Steidten and manager David Moyes have been struggling to agree on targets throughout the summer. That has now seen West Ham switch focus to Alvarez after failing to seal deals for Southampton's James Ward-Prowse and Manchester United's Scott McTominay. West Ham, despite the record sale of Declan Rice, have yet to make a breakthrough in the transfer market and that plight was highlighted at the weekend as they were hammered 4-0 by Bayer Leverkusen - ironically Steidten's former club. He has now pushed ahead with a move for Alvarez in an attempt to get something done before the start of the Premier League season next weekend.

Minnesota Supreme Court rules against disputed mine, says state pollution officials hid EPA warnings

The Minnesota Supreme Court has ruled that the state's Pollution Control Agency was wrong to issue permits for a long-contested copper-nickel mine UNDATED -- The Minnesota Supreme Court on Wednesday ruled that the state ’s Pollution Control Agency improperly granted permits to a fiercely contested copper-nickel mine and concealed environmental concerns about the project, which critics say threatens to pollute Lake Superior and hurt tribal lands. The proposed mining project, a 50-50 joint venture with PolyMet Mining and Teck Resources, was renamed NewRange Copper Nickel in February but is still widely known as PolyMet. It seeks to be Minnesota’s first copper-nickel mine, but it has long been stalled by court and regulatory setbacks. The Minnesota Supreme Court's 6-0 ruling against the state’s Pollution Control Agency once again derails the long-sought project, directing the state agency to reconsider the permits. Justices found that state regulators not only ignored concerns fr...

Judge denies Trump's bid to quash Fulton County DA's probe into efforts to overturn Georgia election results

Image
A judge has denied a motion by former President Trump seeking to stymie Fulton County DA Fani Willis' probe into efforts to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. In another blow to former President Donald Trump's efforts to stymie Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' investigation into his conduct after the 2020 presidential election , a judge on Monday denied a motion filed in March by Trump's legal team seeking to disqualify Willis and quash the findings of a special grand jury convened to review evidence in the matter. In his ruling, Judge Robert McBurney wrote that Trump's legal argument was "insufficient because, while being the subject (or even target) of a highly publicized criminal investigation is likely an unwelcome and unpleasant experience, no court ever has held that that status alone provides a basis for the courts to interfere with or halt the investigations." McBurney's denial marks the latest in a series of leg...
