Red Sox Star Sends 4-Word Alex Bregman Message With Contract Decision Looming

Red Sox Star Sends 4-Word Alex Bregman Message With Contract Decision Looming

The post Red Sox Star Sends 4-Word Alex Bregman Message With Contract Decision Looming appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. FORT MYERS, FLORIDA – FEBRUARY 16: Alex Bregman #2 of the Boston Red Sox looks on during his introductory press conference at JetBlue Park at Fenway South in Fort Myers, Florida on February 16, 2025. (Photo by Maddie Malhotra/Boston Red Sox/Getty Images) Getty Images Boston Red Sox fans might soon have an answer to one of the biggest questions facing this Major League Baseball offseason. Unless a decision comes sooner, the team will get a stronger sense of Alex Bregman’s market during the upcoming Winter Meetings. Then it can better determine whether it is willing to meet the cost of reuniting with Bregman after he opted out of his contract following a successful bounceback season in Boston. Bregman is a clear fit for a return to the Red Sox as a solid infielder, strong bat and valuable mentor to its core of young players. And as a decision on Bregman’s next contract looms, one of those young players sent him a message. “Is that the warmup?” Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony asked in the comment section of Bregman’s recent Instagram post. The post showed Bregman preparing to squat several hundred pounds, an especially impressive setup considering he missed some time during this past season with a quad strain. And the interaction underscored the impression that Bregman made on the organization off the field during his short stint. Bregman was frequently praised for his leadership with the Red Sox. He was interested in going over hitting mechanics with his teammates, communicated with other players in Spanish and frequently praised the team’s young stars. “Super special player,” Bregman said of Anthony after he hit his first career home run at Fenway Park in July, according to NBC Sports Boston’s Darren Hartwell. “I think he’s going to be a superstar in this league…

15 Top Colleges For Launching Your Career

15 Top Colleges For Launching Your Career

The post 15 Top Colleges For Launching Your Career appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. With job prospects for new grads dim and AI spreading, Forbes searched out the schools that make it a priority to help students with co-op programs, internships, coaching and more. Last year, 105,092 students applied to Northeastern University in Boston, up 63% from 2020. Just 5.6% were admitted– in line with the rates at Ivy League schools Dartmouth College (5.4%) and Brown University (5.65%). Northeastern’s allure isn’t a colonial era pedigree, top 50 ranking (it’s No. 113 on Forbes’ America’s Top Colleges list), or cheap list price (the cost of attendance this year tops $94,000). Instead, Northeastern has become a hot ticket because of its pioneering co-op program (established in 1909), which now integrates six-months or so of full-time work experience, as well as job-application and placement guidance into the academic experience. “Students are seeing that having this cooperative experience and this work experience is turbocharging their peers’ entrance into the workforce,” says Jane Swift, former governor of Massachusetts and president of Education at Work, a nonprofit that connects students with part-time jobs at big companies while they’re still in school. It’s a tough time, job wise, to be a new college grad. For the past few years, the unemployment rate for recent college graduates (age 22 to 27), has been uncharacteristically higher than for workers as a whole, though still markedly lower than for young folks who haven’t earned a bachelor’s degree. As of mid-year, 4.8% of recent grads were unemployed, compared with 4% of all workers and 7.4% of young workers without college degrees. According to one private survey, just 30% of 2025 college grads (down from 41% of 2024 grads) had found full time jobs related to their degrees by the summer, with almost half of the newest grads saying they felt unprepared to even apply for…

Three Reasons Why Bull Run Is Not Over Yet

Three Reasons Why Bull Run Is Not Over Yet

The post Three Reasons Why Bull Run Is Not Over Yet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Rising stablecoin supply shows investors are still holding funds for the next rally. As major economies shift toward easier financial conditions global liquidity is turning upwards. Analyst states, “Bull run isn’t over, it’s delayed”. Bitcoin suffered a sharp crash after a sudden liquidity shock hit global markets, wiping out about millions in value within minutes. Analysts say the fall was not caused by Bitcoin itself but by a spike in Japanese government bond yields, which disrupted the yen carry trade and forced investors to unwind positions across multiple risk assets. Amid the market instability, the long-held idea that Bitcoin follows a clean four-year halving cycle is losing credibility. According to market analysts, the current slowdown looks more like a delay than the end of a bull run, citing several reasons. Growing Stablecoin Liquidity Even after the recent market pullback, total stablecoin supply continues to increase. This is a sign that large investors have not left the market.  Instead, they are holding capital on the sidelines in stablecoins and waiting for better macro conditions. Rising stablecoin reserves often act as fuel for the next stage of a crypto rally. Global Liquidity Is Turning Upward Several major economies are moving toward easier policy. China has been injecting liquidity for months. Japan recently announced a stimulus package of about $135B and is easing crypto regulations. Canada is also shifting toward looser conditions. In the United States, the Federal Reserve has already stopped quantitative tightening, which historically happens before some form of liquidity expansion. Bitcoin rarely moves against a rising global liquidity cycle.

The Treasury’s General Account holds roughly $940B, about $90B above its normal range.…
