At his end-of-the-season news conference last month, Mike Elias made sure to recognize the “historic achievement” that was the Orioles’ turnaround.“I hope that the city of Baltimore remembers this group for kind of reminding the world that this is Baltimore and we do baseball here,” Elias said.Among those the Orioles reminded of that officially include Elias’ peers, who voted the Orioles general manager as MLB Executive of the Year, as announced Tuesday morning.In 2021, the Orioles won just 52 games.

By NAJIB JOBAIN and SAMY MAGDY (Associated Press)KHAN YOUNIS, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel will take “overall security responsibility” in Gaza indefinitely after its war with Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, the clearest indication yet that Israel plans to maintain control there one month into a conflict that has claimed thousands of lives and leveled swaths of the territory.In an interview with ABC News that aired late Monday, Netanyahu expressed openness to “little pauses” in the fighting to facilitate delivery of aid to Gaza or the release of some of the more than 240 hostages seized by Hamas in its Oct. 7 attack into Israel that triggered the war. Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, Canada and the European Union.But he ruled out any general cease-fire without the release of all the hostages. The White House said there was no agreement on U.S. President Joe Biden’s call for a broader humanitarian pause after a phone call between t...

It was the fifth time in the last six games the Trojans defense gave up at least 40 points.After the game, Williams, 21, was shown sitting on a railing in the stands and embracing his mother with his face covered by a poster. He was visibly overcome by emotion, likely from the frustration of seeing his conference championship hopes dissipate despite his own best efforts. As he cried in his mother’s arms, the national broadcast cameras stayed there for a minute as ABC announcers Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit, in tones suitable for the situation, provided context to what William...
