SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants hope to begin interviewing internal managerial candidates this week as they seek to replace Gabe Kapler, who was fired last Friday with three games left in a second straight losing season.President of Baseball Operations Farhan Zaidi said discussions are underway about who the club would like to speak with from inside the organization initially, probably a couple of people — and Zaidi is relying on input from retired catcher Buster Posey, who’s now part of the ownership group.Zaidi also noted he hopes to begin reaching out to other franchises early next week to receive permission to interview people on those staffs.While Zaidi has one year remaining on his contract and that brings potential instability, he stressed that San Francisco is a desirable destination nonetheless.

(CNN) — Kevin McCarthy will not run for speaker again after the House ousted him from the top leadership post in a historic vote on Tuesday, a move that threatens to plunge House Republicans into even further chaos and turmoil.“I will not seek to run again for Speaker of the House,” McCarthy wrote on X. “I may have lost a vote today, but I fought for what I believe in—and I believe in America. It has been an honor to serve.”The House will now need to elect a new speaker, but there is no clear alternative to McCarthy who would have the support needed to win the gavel.

Extra car lane on Arborway won’t lead to removal of bike lane, DCR says

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:21:55 GMT

Placing a temporary car lane on the Arborway will not be coming at the expense of a bike lane, according to the state.The new travel lane is being added to a 500-foot outbound section of the Arborway from Murray Circle to the main entrance of the Arnold Arboretum, while a bike lane is being maintained for cyclists, the Department of Conservation and Recreation told the Herald on Tuesday.DCR’s clarification came after cyclists and road safety advocates blasted the agency, as they feared the car lane would have eliminated a bike lane on that section of the Arborway. But that is not the case, a spokeswoman said.“This temporary lane is intended to address local concerns about traffic as DCR continues to work with the community and stakeholders on the Arborway Improvement Project, which is intended to improve bike and pedestrian access to the Arborway,” the spokeswoman said.Advocates expressed concern, confusion and anger after DCR announced Monday on X that it would be closing lanes bet...

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:21:55 GMT

Bridgewater State Hospital is more like a prison than a mental health hospital, lawmakers are being told.Members of the Legislature’s Justice Reform Caucus said as it is currently run and managed by contractors for the state Department of Correction, the state hospital is more akin to the jails the department’s crews are trained to operate.“It doesn’t feel like a hospital at all, it feels like a prison,” state Rep. Mary Keefe said.Bridgewater State Hospital houses hundreds of males, all exhibiting severe mental illnesses, many but not all of whom have been convicted of crimes.Legislation offered by state Rep. Ruth Balser, H2985 or An Act transferring Bridgewater State Hospital from the Department of Correction to the Department of Mental Health, would do exactly as its name suggests and transfer Bridgewater from the DOC to DMH, where the staff has expertise in the care of those with mental illness.“This bill is so important because the people who are at Bridgewater State Hospi...
