Rocco Baldelli withdraws name from Mariners’ manager opening

Twins manager Rocco Baldelli talks to one of his players before a game against the Royals in 2025 in Kansas City, Mo. (Reed Hoffmann / AP) At a time when the Mariners are trying to narrow their list of finalists, former Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli has withdrawn his name from consideration for Seattle's managerial opening, an industry source confirmed to The Seattle Times on Sunday night. Baldelli, 45, was thought to be one of the front-runners for the Mariners’ job. Baldelli compiled a 527-505 record (.511) in seven seasons as Minnesota’s manager, leading the Twins to three AL Central Division titles.

Frustration over school takeovers, vouchers could sway Texas voters in close governor’s race

by Sneha Dey and Megan Menchaca, The Texas Tribune October 26, 2026 Two years after helping oust Republican state lawmakers who initially thwarted his bid to create a school voucher program in Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott is himself on voters’ ballots, asking for a fourth term. But on the campaign trail, he’s not centering the Republican education victories he’s secured in office. And as Democratic state Rep. Gina Hinojosa heads into Nov. 3 as perhaps Abbott’s toughest challenger yet, she’s using his education record — including the growing number of school districts taken over by the state — to put him on the defensive. Abbott and other Republicans’ choice to focus on other issues could help beat back Democratic challengers in the litany of close races. “In Texas, crime is down, communities are safe, the border’s more secure, and I have an opponent who’s against those safe community…

Developer Jonas Woods and a group of Dallas real estate heavyweights aim to build a $600 million development that could feature a 30-story mixed-use tower and a 20-story residential high-rise on the northern edge of Knox-Henderson. Woods told The Dallas Morning News in an exclusive interview that his 3-O Real Estate Partners plans to build Ivy Park, a 30-story (400-foot) hotel and residential tower, and The English, a 20-story (240-foot) tall residential tower, on a 2.2-acre site along McKinney and Webb avenues bordering the Katy Trail.

If the project receives…

How will No. 8 BYU solve its tackling woes ahead of Arizona State?

BYU's double-overtime loss at UCF this past weekend will likely always be remembered for its chaotic finish — especially the somewhat-controversial officiating of the final minutes. While Kalani Sitake said it "would have been nice" to have received some immediate clarification regarding Saturday's officiating, he's leaving the drama behind. He knows there are bigger fish to fry for his squad. "I've moved on, it's not really going to do much for me to cry about it," Sitake told reporters Monday in his weekly press briefing. "It was great competition, congratulations to UCF for getting a win. Honestly, my mind has got to be focused on what we can do against ASU, and you guys have brought it up, (we've) got to fix the missed tackles, we've got to fix the missed assignments. I got more things to worry about than the refs." Yes, for all of BYU's missed opportunities in Orlando, there were…
