Dave Dombrowski was more aggressive at this season’s MLB trade deadline than in years past, not holding on to all of the Phillies’ top prospects in an effort to improve his club for 2025 and beyond.

The price was steep, but Dombrowski made it clear the Phillies would part ways with top prospects for very good players with multiple years of control.…

A lightning flash that extended 515 miles from eastern Texas to near Kansas City, Missouri, in 2017 was recognized Thursday as a new world record. The flash — dubbed a “megaflash,” or a single continuous long horizontal flash that can initiate up to hundreds of cloud-to-ground strikes — happened on Oct. 22, 2017, according to a research report published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society. While the storm that day had previously been analyzed by scientists, new satellite technology recently documented the megaflash exceeding 500 miles.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting said Friday it would begin winding down its operations after its funding was eliminated by the Trump administration and Congress.
