The Reds received a four-prospect package Friday from the Mariners for Luis Castillo, including one of the best in the game, shortstop Noelvi Marte. So what should the Angels receive if they swallow hard (100 times) and actually trade Shohei Ohtani? Because Ohtani hits an awful lot like Olson.

Stephen Watson, Greater Manchester’s chief constable, ordered the smart dress code after finding officers’ “cheap” kit made them look sloppy and unprofessional as he tried to overhaul the “failing” force when he took over last summer.

Nobody wants to soak you if you look like a sore thumb.” He continued, “These people are disgusting from the inside out....

No one seems to agree one way or the other. But many economists and lawmakers balk at the idea, arguing that the so-called cure for a recession would be far worse than the disease of inflation.

That would be the ideal outcome, although the Fed itself admits that the prospect of holding the landing is becoming increasingly difficult....
