Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:03:28 GMT

The Twins are finalizing a four-year, $73.5 million agreement with starting pitcher Pablo López, a source confirmed Monday, which will keep the right-hander with the Twins through the 2027 season.The extension, which has not yet been made official, is supposed to kick in next season, which would have been López’s final year of arbitration, and will buy out his first three years of free agency.The Twins acquired the 27-year-old pitcher this offseason from the Miami Marlins, swapping him for 2022 American League batting champion Luis Arraez. The early returns have been more than promising and he was rewarded with the richest contract the Twins have ever given a pitcher. López, whom the Twins named their Opening Day starter, has been a big reason the rotation has had the early-season success it has.“He couldn’t be more impressive.

Here's what it takes to be middle class in St. Louis

(The Hill) – What does it take to be middle class? Roughly $82,000 a year in household income in San Francisco, $74,000 in Seattle and $60,000 in Washington, D.C., a new study says, but only $24,000 in Cleveland. Researchers at SmartAsset, the consumer finance site, tabulated the low and high end of middle-class salaries in 100 large cities and every state.  The analysis adopts a Pew Research Center definition of middle class: Americans whose incomes range from two-thirds to two times the median household income. (Pew also offers a nifty “Are you in the American middle class?” income calculator.) By applying Pew’s multiplier to city and state medians, the SmartAsset report reveals an income spread that defines what it means to be middle class in different parts of the United States.  These airlines have lost, damaged the most luggage: data “America’s middle class has many different faces,” said Jaclyn DeJohn, managing editor of economic analysis at Sm...
