Miami Marlins Acquire New Talent: Infielder Connor Norby & Outfielder Kyle Stowers From Baltimore Orioles August 8, 2024 Share The Miami Marlins announced last week that the team has acquired infielder Connor Norby and outfielder Kyle Stowers from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for left-handed starting pitcher Trevor Rogers. Norby, 24, is rated as the fifth-best prospect in the Orioles system per MLB Pipeline and has slashed .297/.389/.519 (95x320) in 80 games for Triple-A Norfolk in 2024, with 21 doubles, one triple, 16 home runs, and 57 RBI. Among all International League batters, the right-handed hitter ranks sixth in total bases (166), seventh in hits, ninth in AVG, and 10th in OBP. The Brooklyn Park, Minn. native was named a Baltimore Organization All-Star in both 2022 and 2023, owning a career .286/.368/.498 (312x1167) slash line in 372 Minor League games (2021-24) with 90 doubles, nine triples, 69 home runs, and 241 RBI. Selected by Baltimore in the second round (41st overall) in the 2021 First-Year Player Draft out of East Carolina University in Greenville, N.C., Norby made his Major League debut with the Orioles on June 3 at Toronto, going 6x32 (.188) with one double, two home runs and three RBI in nine games over two separate stints. The versatile defender saw all nine of his Major League starts at second base, posting a 1.000 fielding percentage (0 E/18 TC) and playing the majority of his Minor League games at the position (2,275.1 innings). He has also seen time in left field (497.0 innings), right field (316.2 innings), and shortstop (11.0 innings). Stowers (STOW-ers; rhymes with now), 26, has batted .306 (11x36) with four doubles, one home run, and nine RBI in 19 games over two stints with the Orioles this season from May 13-June 19 and July 13-19. The left-handed hitter recorded a hit in eight of his nine starts with Baltimore this season (10x31), appearing in eight games at right field (two starts), seven games at left field (five starts), and two starts as designated hitter. He also owns a .240 AVG (55x229) with 16 doubles, one triple, 18 homers, 55 RBI and 26 walks in 58 games with Triple-A Norfolk in 2024. Selected by Baltimore in the Competitive Balance Round B (71st overall) in the 2019 First-Year Player Draft out of Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., Stowers owns a .229 AVG (36x157), eight doubles, one triple, four home runs, and 20 RBI in 67 games over parts of three Major League seasons with the Orioles from 2022-24. The Brooks Robinson Minor League Co-Player of the Year with Baltimore in 2021 (along with Adley Rutschman), Stowers has slashed .260/.356/.514 (387x1489) with 91 doubles, seven triples, 91 home runs, and 299 RBI in 407 games in the Orioles Minor League system over five professional seasons. Rogers, 26, went 2-9 with a 4.53 ERA (53 ER/105.1 IP) in 21 starts with Miami to begin 2024, walking 46 batters against 85 strikeouts. The 6-foot-5 southpaw posted a 4.23 ERA (184 ER/391.1 IP) in 80 starts with the Marlins from 2020-24, including a National League Rookie of the Year runner-up campaign in 2021 that saw him go 7-8 with a 2.64 ERA (39 ER/133.0 IP) in a career-high 25 starts and 157 strikeouts. The Carlsbad, N.M. native was originally selected by Miami 13th overall in the 2017 First-Year Player Draft. #MakeItMiami < Previous News Next News >

Six Reasons To Visit Puerto Rico For The Holiday BPT - Aventura Digest November 15, 2024 Share Did you know Puerto Rico celebrates one of the longest holiday seasons in the world? The holiday season lasts about 45 days, from Thanksgiving Day through mid-January. During the holiday season, the Island is alive with colorful decorations, delicious food, authentic music and grand festivals to mark different points of the season. If you want to have a truly magical holiday experience this year, check out these six reasons why you should consider visiting Puerto Rico this winter. 1. Festivities Get ready to experience the party that never stops. During the extended holiday season, you can participate in several vibrant festivities, including multi day events. Puerto Ricans begin decorating for the holidays right after Thanksgiving, if not sooner, and leave the décor on display well into January. You're probably used to Christmas Day being the most important day of the holiday season, but in Puerto Rico, nothing is more important than Nochebuena, or Christmas Eve. On Nochebuena, family and friends have dinner, exchange gifts, go out on parrandas and maybe even attend a midnight mass. On December 31st, ring in the New Year at a Víspera de Año Nuevo celebration. At midnight, Puerto Ricans celebrate the arrival of the new year with fireworks over an ocean view under the moon and starlight. Christmas Eve isn't the only time to exchange gifts. In January, Puerto Ricans celebrate Three Kings Day, which commemorates the Three Wise Men's visit after Jesus was born. Across the Island, you'll see parades with people dressed like the Three Wise Men handing out presents to children. Kids also gather grass or hay in shoeboxes and place them under beds for the Three Wise Men's animals in exchange for presents. Fiestas de la Calle San Sebastián or SanSe - the largest and most popular festival in Puerto Rico - officially closes the holiday season. The party ends in Old San Juan with a lively street festival with music, dancing, traditional food and artisanal crafts. 2. Food One of the best ways to explore a culture is through authentic dishes, and there's no better season to savor authentic Boricua cuisine than the holidays. Get ready to indulge in Arroz Con Gandules, Rice with Pigeon Peas, Lechón Asado, Spit-Roasted Pork, Pasteles, Tamal-like patties of Green Banana and Meat and other flavorful dishes. No holiday is complete without a signature drink. Eggnog may come to mind, but in Puerto Rico, locals drink Coquito. This thick, creamy holiday beverage is made of Coconut Milk, Sweetened Condensed Milk, Evaporated Milk, local Rum and Spices. 3. Music Merry music and musical traditions are key elements of the holidays in Puerto Rico. Throughout the whole season, you'll witness parrandas, the Boricua version of caroling. Small groups visit friends and family late at night and wake them with aguinaldos, villancicos and trovas - local folk versions of Christmas songs. As the parranderos visit homes, they'll sing, eat, drink and spread holiday cheer all over the Island until sunrise. 4. Weather Ready to escape the cold winter weather? Take advantage of Puerto Rico's warm weather this holiday season! In Puerto Rico, you can enjoy a sunny festive season, with an average temperature of 70-85 degrees F from November-January. The warm weather also means you can enjoy outdoor activities like swimming, kayaking, snorkeling and hiking in a temperate, tropical climate. So, shed your layers and trade snow for sand and chilly winds for a gentle ocean breeze. 5. Accessibility No passport? No problem! American citizens and permanent residents can visit the Island with just a valid ID to enter Puerto Rico. You won't have any difficulty finding flights to the Heart and Soul of the Caribbean. There are several short, convenient flights from the U.S. mainland to the heart of Puerto Rico, including direct routes from major cities like New York, Chicago and Dallas. If you haven't brushed up on your Spanish, you're in luck because the two official languages on the Island are English and Spanish. Also, you won't need to worry about exchanging currency. Puerto Rico uses the U.S. Dollar, so you'll have no problem buying last-minute Christmas gifts and souvenirs. 6. Live Boricua Boricua - the Puerto Rican identity - is more than just a name. It's a state of mind. When you Live Boricua, you can immerse yourself in the joy of life that is at the center of Puerto Rico and shared by its people and all who visit. During your holiday trip, embrace the rich traditions, warm hospitality and festive atmosphere of the Island so you can create memories to last a lifetime. Are you ready to celebrate the holidays the Boricua way? To learn more and plan your holiday trip, visit: www.DiscoverPuertoRico.com/Holidays < Previous News Next News >

Can I Come Live With You: I Want A Family To Call My Own July 13, 2023 Share Hey everyone, I’m Baloo (ID A668749)...can I come live with you? I’m just over a year old and weigh 72 pounds. Don’t let my size scare you, I’m a well-behaved fellow who showed off all that I know during my recent photo shoot for this cute picture. I will sit, give paw and even give you the other one if you ask. I might talk to you, so you'll throw a ball for me to chase after. It is unknown how I am with other dogs or cats, but we can do a meet and greet if you have another dog at home. I will admit I pull on the leash, but that's just because I'm excited to go somewhere. Thanks to Dolly's Dream my adoption fee is sponsored and I get to go home with goodies to help me settle in. Cute and cuddly, that’s me Tristan (ID 670065)! I’m a youngster at 15 weeks old and I have a lot of growing to do. The volunteers and staff keep me entertained, but I want a family to call my own who will spoil me with lots of fun toys and treats. Can you make my wish come true? Adoption Specials Diamond in the Ruff: Since 2016, longtime Humane Society of Broward County supporter J.R. Dunn Jewelers has been helping to create true love – by sponsoring pet adoptions so that more dogs and cats can find happy homes. The program is called “Diamond in the Ruff” and who knows diamonds better than J.R. Dunn? J.R. Dunn features a pet each week – yes, 52 pets every year – and underwrites the entire adoption fee for that dog, puppy, cat or kitten. “Diamond in the Ruff” is promoted through J.R. Dunn’s Local Radio Spots and Social Media and the HSBC will do its share of promotion as well. What a fabulous way to put their money where their heart is and to bring attention to all the amazing dogs and cats that are so ready to be loved. Furry little diamonds in the rough – just waiting for their “perfect setting!” Be sure to visit J.R. Dunn’s Facebook Page each week to see who the featured pet is and you might just find your next family member. Of course to meet the pet, contact the Humane Society of Broward County at: (954) 989-3977 Extension#: 6. Dolly’s Dream: In the Winter 2016 Paw Prints we introduced Dolly’s Dream Project funded by the Levitetz Family Foundation. The project covers the cost for Spay/Neuter Surgery for American Staffordshire Terriers and Mixes and helps with Surrender Prevention. Dolly’s Dream has expanded and now they are underwriting the adoption fee of select Bully Breed Dogs. In addition to underwriting the fee, they will cover the costs for the basic items that the dog will need to succeed in their new home. This includes a Training Crate, Sensation Harness or No-Pull Harness, Chew Toys, Collar, ID Tag, Leash, Training Treat Bag and basic dishes. If necessary, they will also cover the cost of Obedience Classes here at the Humane Society of Broward County. Current Dolly’s Dream Dogs Luna ID A667990: After having a home for three years I was brought to the shelter because the landlord said I had to go. Now, that might sound bad, but honestly...I’m happier now. My name is Luna (ID A667990) and since I was a little pup, I had to live outside 24/7 and was never allowed in the house. It’s hot here in south Florida and I was miserable outside. Now that I’m at the shelter, I love the cool air-conditioning, but I especially love the belly rubs the staff and volunteers give me and I LOVE toys! I just want to be with people and get lots of attention and cuddles. I’m good with people of all ages and if you have a dog then a meet and greet would be recommended to make sure we get along. I’ve never been around felines, so not sure how that would go. To meet me or any other pet, complete the Pre-Adoption Application at: www.humanebroward.com and if you have questions, call: (954) 989-3977 Extension#: 6. The Adoption Kennels open daily at 11:00 a.m. and the shelter is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312. Thanks to Dolly’s Dream my Adoption Fee is sponsored and I get to go home with goodies to help me settle in. Cassie ID 629208: I was adopted a few years ago by a wonderful man and we had so many great times together. Sadly, he passed away and now I’m back at the shelter hoping another wonderful family will adopt me. When he was sick, I didn’t leave his side and often slept in bed with him. My name is Cassie and I’m a six-year-old gal who is loyal, good with kids ages 7 and up and I’m very friendly. While I have never lived with felines, I’m going to do best in a home where I’m the only dog. I enjoy belly rubs and being where you are. One thing you should know, I’m not a fan of loud noises, so no heavy metal music for me. To meet a pet, complete the Pre-Adoption Application at: www.humanebroward.com and then stop by. The Humane Society of Broward County is located at 2070 Griffin Road, Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33312 and the Adoption Kennels open daily at 11:00 a.m. If you have questions, call: (954) 989-3977 Extension#: 6.

Meet Flat Fee Legal Service: Professional Attorneys Serving Victims of Property Damage at no Cost By Austin Torres September 16, 2021 Share If you are the victim of property damage, whether it may be hurricane, flood, windstorm, water or fire-related, the associates at Flat Fee Legal Service will come to you, review your policy and your property damage to provide a free opinion on whether your property is covered and whether you have a valid insurance claim. During Hurricane season, it is especially important to know what your home insurance policy covers in the event that your home is damaged. Local property damage attorney, Jesse O’Hara and his stellar team of professionals at Flat Fee Legal Service are offering free insurance policy reviews and property inspections to ensure you and your family are protected this season. “We are offering free consultations with expert attorneys to review the insurance policies of clients and inform them of what type of coverage they have before the next storm hits us,” says O’Hara. O’Hara, who has handled thousands of property damage claims, has dedicated his legal career to taking on Florida’s insurance companies to ensure that property damage victims are paid what they are rightfully owed on their claims. In most cases, Flat Fee Legal Service provides legal services free of charge to homeowners - as opposed to most other law firms that charge their own clients. “We represent homeowners against their insurance companies in property damage disputes whenever their claims are denied or underpaid. We pay all the upfront costs and are only paid when the homeowner gets paid. The homeowner keeps their portion of the settlement proceeds and we are almost always compensated by the insurance companies, not the homeowner,” says O’Hara. If you are the victim of property damage, whether it may be hurricane, flood, windstorm, water or fire-related, the associates at Flat Fee Legal Service will come to you, review your policy and your property damage to provide a free opinion on whether your property is covered and whether you have a valid insurance claim. Quite often, when a homeowner is the victim of property damage such as a pipe leak, for example, they might hire a plumber and pay them an enormous fee to have it fixed and then submit the bill to their insurance company in hopes of being reimbursed. However, the professional team at Flat Fee Legal Service assists homeowners by working with companies that do not charge the homeowner. Instead, such companies do the work and negotiate directly with the insurance company for their payment. This is a way that we help homeowners fix their homes without going out of pocket or paying legal fees. These companies bill the insurance companies directly instead of taking up-front payment from homeowners. With a strong reputation in trial courts and long-standing relationships with insurance companies, O’Hara and his associates take great pride in assisting clients and ensuring they are paid fairly. Simply put, Flat Fee Legal Service keeps the roof over your head when insurance companies refuse to help. “It’s very rewarding when a court recognizes that your client is right and deserves to have their home fixed. The biggest satisfaction is when we settle their case and hand them their check - they are finally happy they can get their lives back on track. We get a thrill from winning substantial victories on behalf of our clients.” The team at Flat Fee Legal Service is highly engaged with their clients. They pride themselves in being easy to reach and communicate with throughout the entire claims process, which separates them from other larger, less personal firms. “What distinguishes us from a larger firm is that the clients have more one on one attention.” If you are a victim of property damage and are in need of assistance, you can rest assured knowing that the associates at Flat Fee Legal Service will go above and beyond to ensure you are properly compensated by assisting you from the very beginning of your claim all the way until your case is settled. Another aspect that underscores the uniqueness of the Flat Fee Legal Service team is their work culture and accommodating environment. Visitors of their office will note the modern art, highly relaxing, inviting and comforting layout of their office. The firm staff understand how stressful it is to battle your insurance company while your home is in a state of disrepair. By creating a different atmosphere that stands in stark contrast to typical law firms, they foster a welcoming space for visitors that is both brighter and more laid back. In doing this, Flat Fee Legal Service fosters an environment that is more welcoming than other law firms. This ensures that employees and clients alike can communicate and forge beneficial relationships in a healthy and happy space. O’Hara and his team of professionals understand that it is always possible to go above and beyond to assist their clients. Another way in which they hope to achieve this is by educating homeowners through the Florida Property Damage Podcast – a radio-style show that O’Hara hosts and is currently in development. With the goal of interviewing common players in the industry such as public adjusters, water mitigation companies, mold testing companies, attorneys and insurance adjusters, they hope to familiarize the general public with how the intricate insurance claims process really works.
