Ni la policía se salva de caer en las manos de los delincuentes. Según las autoridades del condado Prince George’s, llamadas desconocidas ahora estarían llegando bajo números que uno podría reconocer, incluyendo el de la policía. Específicamente, en las llamadas que llegan bajo el nombre de la policía del condado, estafadores piden información financiera para hacer caer a sus víctimas.Emily Austin, del departamento de la policía, explicó que hay estafadores que suplantan el identificador de llamadas para hacerse pasar por una empresa o agencia gubernamental y que lamentablemente la policía no es inmune.Expertos explican que detrás de esto no necesariamente están grupos organizados.

Cardinals option top prospect Walker to minors

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:10:11 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Promising St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Jordan Walker was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday following a 7-for-35 slide in his last 10 games.Walker made his debut on opening day and opened the season with a record-tying 12-game hitting streak. He was hitting .353 through April 10 but his average has dropped to .274 with three doubles, two home runs and 11 RBIs. Walker struck out 20 times in 73 at-bats.Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said the decision was made to get some of the team’s other outfielders additional opportunities while getting the 20-year-old Walker more experience in the minor leagues. Marmol also said it would be “crazy” to think that Walker wouldn’t be returning to the big league club.“There is a need for some of these guys to go out there more often and get into a little bit of rhythm, and they just haven’t been able to do that because we do have five guys that are all deserving of playing every day,” Marmol said, pointing to Ale...
