NEW YORK (AP) — Ten months before Donald Trump is scheduled to stand trial in his historic New York City criminal case, Manhattan prosecutors are in a tug of war with the former president’s legal team over precisely where he will be tried.Trump’s lawyers are angling to have the hush-money case moved to federal court while the Manhattan district attorney’s office, in court papers Tuesday, says it should remain in the state court where it originated.Trump, a Republican, has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty in state court last month to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records and is slated to go on trial in state court starting on March 25, 2024, in the heat of next year’s presidential primaries.Ultimately, it’ll be Alvin Hellerstein, a federal judge in Manhattan, who decides whether to seize control of the Trump case or keep it in state court — likely after Manhattan prosecutors and Trump’s lawyers duke it out at a hearing on the issue scheduled for Ju...

Third base is getting a little crowded.The Mets are currently carrying three third basemen, and while two of the three have roles that don’t always require them to man the hot corner, it’s still a curious predicament that begs some questions about playing time.Brett Bay, Mark Vientos and Eduardo Escobar are all sharing some time at third base. Baty handles the position on most days because the Mets see him as their third baseman of the future. Vientos doesn’t really have a position right now other than a part-time designated hitter, but he did play one game at third over the weekend in Denver against the Colorado Rockies.It was Escobar who was at third base and batting ninth Tuesday when the Mets opened a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citi Field.
