Yankees Notebook: Josh Donaldson notes simplified mechanics after double-dinger day

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:39:48 GMT

TAMPA — As soon as Josh Donaldson finished his first round of batting practice on Tuesday, Aaron Boone pulled the third baseman aside to deliver an emphatic message.“I said, ‘That’s it right there,’” the manager recalled. “I was like, ‘Don’t get married to the result if you don’t get a result [that you want] today. That’s the move you want,’ and obviously, he got results today, which is always good.”Boone’s initial reference related to Donaldson’s mechanics during batting practice, while the results the skipper mentioned referred to the two home runs the 37-year-old proceeded to hit in the Yankees’ 6-3 spring training win over the Tigers. Donaldson belted his second dinger of the spring, a solo shot, in the fourth inning. His third, a three-run blast, came in the sixth frame.While Donaldson declined to talk specifics, he said after the game that he’s been trying to “clean up&#...

Luis Severino rebounds with sharp slider, recommends pitch clock tweaks

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:39:48 GMT

TAMPA — It looked as if Luis Severino’s rocky camp would continue Tuesday after the pitcher surrendered a leadoff homer to Detroit’s Kerry Carpenter, but the Yankees right-hander recovered for his best start of the spring.“I need to stop giving up homers,” said Severino, who allowed one more first-inning run to the Tigers before settling in. Detroit didn’t score off him after that, and Severino struck out nine over four innings while allowing four hits and one walk on 74 pitches in a 6-3 Yankees win.Severino’s slider looked the best it has all exhibition season. He threw the pitch 42% of the time and used it to induce five whiffs. His fastball, used at a 39% clip, added six more.“I thought it was really sharp, really good,” Aaron Boone said of the slider, adding that he saw that late disappearing bite that Sevy’s known for.“Life was there with the heater. A lot of swing and miss. Good day.”Another reason for Sev...

Stash’s Pizza owner held without bail after allegations of abusing undocumented employees

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 22:39:48 GMT

Stavros Papantoniadis, owner of Stash’s Pizza, will be held without bail after allegedly abusing undocumented employees in what prosecutors called a 15-year scheme, a federal judge ruled Tuesday night.“The body of work alone shows he’s a continued danger to his victims as well as the public at large,” argued Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Fogerty at a four hour bail hearing at Boston’s Federal Court on Monday. “The evidence, in the government’s opinion, overwhelmingly shows he should be detained.”Papantoniadis, 47, was arrested last Thursday and is facing a single count of forced labor, but prosecutors dredged a well of alleged misconduct and disturbing behavior in their case to have the restaurateur held without bail at Monday’s hearing — possibly forecasting more charges to come.The forced labor charge stems from an investigation into claims from seven victims, all of whom lacked legal documentation to reside and work in t...
