(Photo Credit: Paramount+) Five months after creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson’s Yellowjackets secured a renewal order from Paramount+, it has now been confirmed that the hit psychological thriller will officially be concluding its run with the upcoming fourth season. The creative team is currently targeting a 2026 production start date. What did the Yellowjackets creators say about the Paramount+ show’s impending conclusion? In their statement, Lyle and Nickerson expressed how grateful they are towards the cast, crew, and writers, as well as the loyal fans of Yellowjackets who have believed in the show’s story since the beginning. “After three incredible seasons, and great consideration, we’re excited to announce that we will be bringing the story of Yellowjackets to its twisted conclusion in this fourth and final season,” Lyle and Nickerson’s statement reads. “We’ve always known there would come a point when the story would tell us it wants to end, and it’s our belief that our job — our responsibility — is to listen. Telling this emotional, wild, and deeply human story has been a profoundly meaningful experience and a true honor for us, and we’re so very grateful to the brilliant cast, crew, and writers who have bravely gone on the journey with us to bring it to life. Most of all, we want to thank the fans who have stuck with us through every moment, mystery, and meal — the Hive is nothing without you! We can’t wait to share the final chapter with you and hope you find it … delicious.” Yellowjackets currently stars Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci, Lauren Ambrose, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Liv Hewson, Courtney Eaton, Elijah Wood, Hilary Swank, and more. The series is created and executive-produced by showrunners Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson, with Jonathan Lisco serving as its showrunner. It is a production by Lionsgate Television. Since its debut in 2021, the show has maintained its Certified Fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes for the past three seasons.

http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/USATSI_27311033.jpgNick Turchiaro-Imagn Images It was really close. On Sunday, in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series, in the top of the first inning, with one out and runners on first and third, once and future hero playoff hero Jorge Polanco hit a bouncer to the third baseman. The runner on third was going on contact, but the runner on third was Cal Raleigh, and while relatively quick for a catcher, the Sultan of Squat is not exactly known for his speed. Had the ball been hit anywhere other than directly at a corner infielder, he might have beaten it easily. Instead, Addison Barger’s throw beat Raleigh to the bag by at least three metres (the game was in Canada, after all). But it was still really close. The throw arrived in plenty of time, and it was by no means off target. To make sure he ran no risk of hitting the runner, Barger wisely threw the ball toward the right side – the first base side – of catcher Alejandro Kirk’s body. The throw wasn’t high either, but it did arrive at shoulder height. Raleigh was running as hard as he could, and in the time it took Kirk to swing his catcher’s mitt from high on his right side to low on his left side, he’d closed the distance to roughly one metre. Then Kirk made an important decision. With Raleigh bearing down on him, he chose not to keep swinging the glove down and toward the plate. He reached out for a high tag and swept the left side of his body out of the way in the same moment. Self-preservation undoubtedly played a role in the decision. It cost him valuable centimetres (God, this feels wrong), and it very nearly allowed Raleigh to sneak his right cleat between Kirk’s legs and onto home plate before his torso crashed into the mitt. For the briefest of moments, the two catchers looked like colliding galaxies, smashing then spinning together as their gravitational fields intertwined: http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Colliding-Galaxies-GIF.gif In real time, the play went from looking like a sure out to an impossibly close call. Maybe Raleigh got his foot in there and maybe he didn’t. The call on the field was out, and unbelievably, the Mariners declined to challenge it. The video never got dissected by the replay room in New York. The chief marketing officer of Zoom Communications, Inc. surely wept. In theory, teams should hold on to their challenges unless they feel confident that the call in question will be overturned, but in practice, they have two challenges in the postseason, and the ability to request an umpire’s challenge means that there’s effectively no penalty for wasting a challenge. This one wouldn’t have been a waste. The play looked just about as close as it could get, and it offered the chance to take an early lead in Game 1 of the ALCS. It was a no-brainer. After the play, the broadcast showed seven replays over a period of 55 seconds. Two of those replays were repeats, so in all, we got six angles of the play at the plate. Americans and Canadians leaned in toward their televisions and watched intently for those 55 seconds, but even with some of the replays coming in slow motion, it just wasn’t enough time to tell for certain. Had Kirk’s tag caught Raleigh’s arm or traveled the extra distance to his stomach? Had Raleigh’s cleat, obscured in a cloud of dirt and chalk, caught the front of the plate or popped over it? Which happened first? The video below shows exactly what the viewer at home saw. It would be impossible for anyone to say what happened with certainty after just one viewing of these clips: First, obviously, we got the real-time action, starting with the center field camera and cutting to the high home camera once Polanco put the ball in play. Even if the play had been slowed down, the distance and the angle likely made it impossible to tell when Raleigh touched home and when Kirk touched Raleigh: http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Real-Time-View.png Next, we got a view from directly behind home plate, once again at full speed. Raleigh’s body blocked the view of Kirk’s glove, making it impossible to tell when the tag happened: http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Replay-Angle-1.png The play happened much too fast to tell what happened at game speed, so the next shot came in slow motion. It was shot at a low angle from down the left field line, which meant the camera was behind Raleigh’s body, which was once again blocking both his foot and Kirk’s glove: http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Replay-Angle-2.png The next slow motion replay came from a bird’s eye view from above home plate. It was a great shot, but Kirk’s left foot blocked the corner of the plate, making it impossible to tell when Raleigh’s foot touched home. The high angle also made it tough to tell whether Kirk’s glove caught the bottom of Raleigh’s right arm or passed right underneath it and touched him in the stomach, a distinction that looked certain to be the difference between out and safe: http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Replay-Angle-3.png Next came a beautifully oversaturated shot from the first base dugout, likely using the super slow-motion cameras that capture shots of check swings. Unfortunately, the angle meant that this time, Kirk was the one between the camera and the mitt, blocking the view of the tag. The low angle also foreshortened home plate so much that it almost disappeared. It’s hard to know when the foot touches an invisible plate: http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Replay-Angle-4.png The final shot showed the home plate umpire’s angle of the play (so much so that the umpire very nearly blocked the camera’s view entirely). As we’ll see in a moment, this proved to be the decisive angle, but even in slow motion, it was too much for the human eye to track both the progress of the foot and the moment the glove actually touched the runner. Note the expression on Raleigh’s face. He looks like a three-year-old who finds tags every bit as disgusting as broccoli: http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Replay-Angle-5.png After the first pitch to the next batter, the broadcast cut to shots of an impassive John Schneider in the Blue Jays’ dugout and a relieved-looking Barger at third base, then repeated the replays from the overhead view and the umpire’s view. And then the game went on. At that point, no one at home could know for certain whether the call had been correct, or whether the Mariners’ risky decision to let the play go unchallenged would prove to be catastrophically cautious: http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Decisive-Shot-GIF.gif This is the decisive angle, and it’s slowed down even further from the replay on the broadcast. Even at this slow speed, and even zoomed in on the foot or the glove, the difficulty of the call is apparent. There likely wouldn’t have been a clear enough shot for the replay officials to do anything but let the call stand. Raleigh’s cleat sent a wave of dirt and chalk from the batter’s box ahead of it. You need to watch several times before you start to get a sense of where the chalk ends and where the cleat begins: http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Foot-Crossing-the-Plate-GIF.gif The view of the tag is clearer, but not by all that much. It’s clear that Kirk did tag Raleigh’s wrist rather than his stomach, saving him precious centimetres. But because the view is from behind, the only way to tell when the tag actually took place is to look and see when pressure from the wrist starts to deform the tip of the glove. The first sign is that the back half of the glove, the finger side, starts to pop up above the front half, the thumb side. But even from this view and at this speed, it’s still not as obvious as we’d like: http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Glove-Deforming-GIF.gif The cloud of dust arrives at the corner of home plate at the exact same moment the glove starts to deform. In fact, there’s a puff of white dust just ahead of Raleigh’s heel that really fools you into thinking it’s part of the shoe, and that puff of dust was safe! But Raleigh’s heel doesn’t tough the exact corner of the plate. It’s a few centimetres over to the right, crossing the front of the plate just a frame or two after Kirk’s glove starts to deform, and a frame or two after the puff of dust. Raleigh is out by just about as small a margin as you can imagine. (Fine, I’ll say it: Raleigh was out by millimetres.) Below is side-by-side footage, with the moment that each action takes place marked with a big “NOW.” http://blogs.fangraphs.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Side-By-Side-Labeled-GIF.gif Reasonable people might disagree even after seeing this footage, but this is as good as we can get without being inside the replay room ourselves. Now that we’ve settled it as well as we’re going to settle it, let’s all head out to Tim Hortons. Source View the full article

Welcome to Today in Books, our daily round-up of literary headlines at the intersection of politics, culture, media, and more. One story dominating my feeds today, so thought I would get into it. n+1 Job Posting Gets People Both Mad and Defensive n+1 did one of the most necessary and thankless tasks in media: post about a job opening and include the actual salary range. The number is above the median U.S. salary of $49,500, but the gig is in Brooklyn, which I can report from personal experience is considerably more expensive than the median place to live (which apparently is Cleveland?). The strongest negative reactions were as predictable as they were understandable: this just doesn’t seem like enough for the responsibilities, n+1’s reputation, and the realities of trying to build a professional life and career in New York. The loudest defender of n+l responded to these criticisms with perhaps unadvised (and largely deleted) as far as I can tell) vitriol. (side note: I am not going to link to individual X posts here. If you are interested, you can search for n+1 and see the terrain quickly). I have a little perspective to give on the subject of running an independent media organization that doesn’t fit neatly into “this salary is shameful” or the “It is what it is.” I am also going to assume for the moment that n+1 is not radically overpaying some top executive person somewhere or renting ungodly expensive office space, and of course if this is the case then those dollars should be redirected. And as a registered nonprofit, n+1 does not have some corporate overlord siphoning off dollars that could be used to raise the salaries of people working there. The truth that bridges these extreme ends of responses is this: there is not much money in independent media. There is even less money for indie media that has a mission of some kind. And that is what n+1 is, and I have a ton of respect for them. My guess is that they are probably paying as much as they can across the board and wish they could pay more. To say that they should unionize is a nice sentiment, but that assumes that there are marginal dollars available to flow to employees from the corporation. For employees of The New York Times or Conde Nast, this is an on-going negotiation, as those companies, over decades, have built brands and businesses that can be quite profitable–and can be even more profitable if employee salaries are kept as low as they can be. I will go farther to say that a company should be profitable, if only because it allows for a margin of safety and the possibility of growth. So if a company like n+1 simply cannot pay more, what to do? Should they….just stop operating? What is the next move? I don’t have an answer and neither do people bemoaning this job and other lower-paying full-time positions in media. Nor does it feel right to shrug your shoulders and say them’s the breaks. Because I think we want people who care about arts and ideas to be able to build lives around their jobs. And we would like them to be able to do it without having family money or some other leg up not generally available. The answer to this question isn’t one of hiring policy or unionization or “you could always just go be a cop.” A lot more of us need to pay for indie media. There is more money for employees when more people are paying for it. The dollars to be found for managing editors and junior publicists, and senior designers is not sitting on an untapped line on a ledger somewhere: it is in the quarterly reports of Meta, Netflix, Alphabet, TikTok, and Amazon. Media dollars flow to where attention flows. If n+1 had 27% more subscribers, I bet that job would pay more. Maybe even 27% more. Dollars that come directly from readers are the most reliable and the most insulated from a sponsor walking a way or a tech company changing their terms. Five or ten dollars out of your pocket every month to whatever website or paper or journal or podcast that you care about makes a small difference, but a real one. The nice thing about supporting indie media is that it doesn’t take millions of people changing their habits. A thousand people kicking in and subscribing matters. For some places, hundreds matter, a couple dozen matters. I believe n+1 is doing the best they can. I believe people balking at this level of pay really care. And I think neither n+1 or its critics today can do as much to change the game if there isn’t more support out there. View the full article

Former All-Star infielder Sandy Alomar Sr. has passed away, per an announcement from the Puerto Rican Professional Baseball League. He was 81 years old and would have turned 82 this coming weekend. The father of big leaguers Roberto Alomar and Sandy Alomar Jr., Sandy Sr. enjoyed a 15-year playing career of his own. From 1964-78, he suited up for the Angels, Yankees, White Sox, Expos, Rangers and Mets. The elder Alomar made the 1970 All-Star team as a member of the Angels during a season in which he batted .251/.302/.293 and played in all 162 games while providing quality defense and 35 stolen bases. In all, Alomar hit .245/.290/.288 in 5160 major league plate appearances across his decade and a half as a big league player. He played primarily second base but also logged more than 1200 innings at shortstop and made a handful of appearances at the hot corner. Alomar was known for his glove and speed more than his bat; he totaled just 13 career home runs, 126 doubles and 19 triples but piled up 227 career stolen bases. He’s one of just 300 players to ever steal at least 225 bags in his career. Beyond his career as a player, Alomar logged parts of 16 season as a coach in the major leagues, spending time with the Padres (third base coach), Cubs (first base coach), Rockies (third base coach) and Mets (bench coach, first base coach). He also managed in the minor league ranks for both the Cubs and the Mets and spent several seasons coaching and managing teams at home in the Puerto Rican Winter League. Our condolences go out to each of the organizations Alomar impacted, as well as the Alomar family and friends, and the countless fans he accrued over a baseball career that spanned more than 50 years.

Photo Credit: Lou Rocco | Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Years after their past feud, comedian, talk show host, and actress Rosie O’Donnell recently responded to her The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s social media post. This post was a series of emotional Instagram stories addressing O’Donnell’s comments about their 2007 on-air fight. Now, her response brings the attention back to the fallout between the co-hosts from that infamous talk show moment. Rosie O’Donnell on Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s post about View controversy On October 11, The Flintstones star shared a reaction online to her former The View co-host addressing her recent comments about their on-air fight almost two decades ago. Back in 2007, Rosie O’Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck got into a heated argument on live TV on their talk show. They went against each other in a verbal showdown about American military activity in the Middle East. This further led to O’Donnell quitting the show shortly after. Hasselbeck recently claimed in a series of Instagram stories that O’Donnell is lying and pointed her out for “tearing someone apart who had an opposing view.” Moreover, she stated that she forgives the latter even if she doesn’t stop lying. (via Entertainment Weekly) Now, in the video post from O’Donnell on Instagram, she can be seen reading a transcript of Hasselbeck’s recent Instagram Stories post and reacting to it. “You forgive me? What a relief,” she exclaims, reading Hasselbeck saying she Further, reacting to Hasselbeck say she prays that O’Donnell is “protected from whatever’s holding her back”, she asserted, “Nothing’s holding me back, Elisabeth. Knock, knock. Who’s there? Rosie O’Donnell! I don’t hold back, sweetheart.” “Honey, this wasn’t about you or your character,” Rosie O’Donnell continued as she addressed Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s words. “It was about the truth of what happened, from my perspective. That’s it. Hate to tell you, I don’t really think about you that much until an interviewer asks me. It’s not like I’m walking around going, ‘God, do you think Elisabeth will ever forgive me?’ I’m not.” Towards the end, The Rosie Show host went on to say, “So don’t worry about me or my freedom or joy, and just enjoy your life, and I’m gonna do the same,” adding, “And, you know, it’s okay, Elisabeth. In God’s name, Amen.” Hence, even though Elisabeth Hasselbeck seemingly grew emotional about the subject, Rosie O’Donnell seems to firmly stand by her views.

(Cr. Parisa Taghizadeh/Netflix © 2025) ComingSoon spoke with The Woman in Cabin 10 author Ruth Ware about her novel being adapted into the new Netflix movie starring Keira Knightley and directed by Simon Stone. Ware discussed getting to visit the set, Knightley’s performance, and the new ending for the film. The movie is now streaming on Netflix. “While on board a luxury yacht for a travel assignment, a journalist witnesses a passenger thrown overboard late at night, only to be told that it didn’t happen, as all passengers and crew are accounted for. Despite no one believing her, she continues to look for answers, putting her own life in danger,” says the official logline. Tyler Treese: It is always exciting when authors see their work adapted. Did you get a chance to visit the set at all? Ruth Ware: I did, yeah. I got to visit when they were filming in London. But I think my personal kind of highlight was I managed to go and visit some of the filming on the yacht, which was incredible. How was it getting to see Keira bring Lo to life? Because as an author, that’s a character you dreamt up and now you have this acclaimed actress bringing her to life on screen. I can’t even imagine how that feels. It was incredibly surreal. The whole process of sort of seeing locations that I had described and characters that I’d dreamt up in my spare bedroom 10 years ago, suddenly embodied in flesh and blood was incredibly surreal. Keira, as an actor, is just fantastic, and I think she’s a lot more beautiful than I had imagined Lo. When I wrote Lo, I imagined her much more of a kind of everywhere, and Keira, even wind-swept and terrified on a yacht, looking a bit kind of ruffled, is still absolutely stunning. But I think she really nailed Lo’s character. You know, she got to the sort of core of Lo, [which] is her absolute relentless, dogged drive for the truth, and she somehow manages to convey that on screen, which is amazing. I wanted to ask you about the unique structure of the mystery you laid out because we find out who did it and what happened, about a bit over halfway through the film, at least. What did you like most about having so much time to really see these characters figure out how they’re gonna move on and figure out this situation, rather than the twist waiting till the very end, like in a lot of mysteries? Ruth Ware: There’s always two parts to a crime. One is obviously the kind of who-done-it, and that’s what sort of golden age crime and thrillers tend to concentrate on. So you find out who did it on the final page. But the other side of the coin, which is, I think, probably the more urgent and the more human one, is the desire to see justice. To know whether everybody’s going to be okay, to figure out how these people are going to be brought to account. That was one of the reasons why I structured the book the way I did. We find out the answer to the mystery about halfway through, as you point out, but it’s immediately that who’d done it question is immediately replaced with a much more urgent one, which is, “Is Lo going to be okay? And is she going to be able to bring this home?” I was very glad that the film reflected that same structure because as you point out, we’re suddenly we are suddenly made aware of the fact that figuring out the answer to this mystery is only half of the puzzle. The other half is, how on earth is this going to be made? I wanted to ask you about the ending. Because we see these three women really come together, and I thought that was really inspiring to see these common people really coming together to bring down this manipulative person in power. Do you read this as like a feminist text? How do you kind of view that? Because I thought it was very interesting just to see these regular people coming together and putting truth first. So interestingly, the ending to the film is probably the point where it’s most different to the book. So in the book, we’re completely inside Lo’s head, and a lot of the kind of resolution takes place kind of offscreen because she’s not aware of what’s happening. So there’s a sort of similar women to coming together to solve their problems, but Lo doesn’t get that moment of closure at the end where she gets to see justice done herself. So it was one of the changes that I loved about the film, that she gets that kind of moment herself to be able to do that. And I guess, yeah, I wrote the book as a sort of response to the fact that there were a lot of, he said, she said cases in the news when I was writing it, and I was getting increasingly angry about the fact that women always seemed to be at the bottom of the pile in terms of who ever whose evidence was sort of listened to and taken seriously and not endlessly dissected on the media and on social media. So I guess the ending is a sort of fitting riposte to that, which is lovely. Thanks to Ruth Ware for taking the time to talk about The Woman in Cabin 10.

The Phillies’ latest postseason exit has led to some speculation about manager Rob Thomson’s job security, but Joel Sherman and Jon Heyman of the New York Post report that Thomson is “safe for 2026” and is expected to return to lead the Philadelphia dugout next year. The team is planning a formal announcement later in the week. As pointed out by Scott Lauber of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Thomson is just the fourth manager in major league history to lead any team to the postseason in each of his four years on the job. He’s also only the third Phillies manager to guide the club to consecutive NL East championships. Thomson, 62, was elevated to the manager’s post midway through the 2022 season when Joe Girardi was fired. The team’s bench coach at the time, Thomson has now famously indicated that he was actually planning to retire at the end of that 2022 season before being reinvigorated by the promotion to manager. In three-plus seasons at the helm, Thomson guided the Phillies to a 346-251 regular season record and steered the ’22 Phillies all the way to an NL Pennant and to Game 6 of the World Series before falling to the ’22 World Champion Astros. Thomson’s Phillies reached Game 7 of the NLCS against the Diamondbacks in 2023 but have now lost in the Division Series in consecutive seasons, falling to the ’24 Mets and the ’25 Dodgers. Prior to his time as the Phillies’ manager, Thomson spent five years as the bench coach under Girardi. He was also the Yankees’ bench coach under Girardi, holding that position from 2008-17. He’d served as a major league coach with the Yankees prior, dating back to 2003, and has also held roles in their front office (specifically in player development) in addition to various coaching positions in the Yankees’ minor league ranks. Though some fans might’ve hoped for a change in voice after four consecutive earlier-than-hoped playoff exits, it doesn’t seem that any such sentiment exists within the clubhouse. Phillies players emphatically voiced last week — via both Lauber and The Athletic’s Matt Gelb — that Thomson has their support. “I love Topper, man,” Harper said after the team’s heartbreaking end to the season. “He’s done a great job for us. I don’t know what the future holds. I have no idea. I think that’s a [question for president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski]. But obviously, we love Topper in here.” Teammate Trea Turner agreed wholeheartedly. “I’ve been blessed with a lot of good managers in my career — I’ve probably played for four or five now, and they’ve all been really good — and he’s right up there with them,” said Turner. “He’s got all the qualities. He keeps it even-keeled all year long. He’s great, man. I don’t think you can ask for more out of a manager.” Thomson is currently signed through the 2026 season. The Phillies inked him to a one-year extension last offseason — a move that prevented him from playing out the current campaign as a lame-duck manager. Perhaps they’ll go a similar route this time around, but for right now, Thomson’s contract is slated to conclude at the end of the ’26 season and is not believed to contain any kind of option for the 2027 season.

In a surprising move, Padres manager Mike Shildt has announced he is stepping down from that role, according to Kevin Acee of the San Diego-Union Tribune. The decision was Shildt’s, Acee adds. He has managed the club for two years and had two years remaining on his contract. “The grind of the baseball season has taken a severe toll on me mentally, physically and emotionally,” Shildt wrote in a letter to the Union-Tribune. “While it has always been about serving others, it’s time I take care of myself and exit on my own terms.” He went on to thank the Padres organization, president of baseball operations A.J. Preller, and the players for his time with the team and wished them future success. In a statement released by the team, Preller said of Shildt, “His dedication and passion for the game of baseball will leave an impact on our organization, and we wish him the best in his next chapter.” Shildt, 57, has led the Padres to a 183-141 (.565) record since the start of 2024. The club made the postseason in both of those years, reaching the National League Division Series in 2024 and the Wild Card Series this year. In that time, the team has gotten strong performances out of Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado, and Jake Cronenworth among others, while also seeing the emergence of Jackson Merrill. The club is tied for seventh-best in the league with a 107 wRC+ in that time. Pitching-wise, the team ranks fifth in the majors with a 3.75 ERA and seventh with a 15.7% K-BB rate since the start of 2024. That success includes strong performances from starters Dylan Cease, Michael King, and Nick Pivetta, along with relievers Adrian Morejon and Robert Suarez. If not for the perennially excellent Dodgers, the Padres may have had a shot at first place in the NL West in those two years. Even then, it is hard to consider Shildt’s tenure with San Diego as anything other than a success. Prior to managing the Padres, Shildt held various roles in the Cardinals organization, acting as quality control coach and third base coach in 2017 and bench coach in 2018. He was named the interim manager upon the firing of Mike Matheny in July 2018 and became the permanent manager in August of that year. He held that post through the 2021 season before departing the organization due to what were described at the time as “philosophical differences.” Shildt was hired by San Diego in a player development role in January 2022 and became the manager in November 2023 following Bob Melvin’s departure for the Giants. In all, he has posted a 435-340 (.561) record in parts of six seasons as a big-league manager and has twice finished in the top two for the NL Manager of the Year Award, winning it in 2019 with the Cardinals and finishing as the runner-up last year with the Padres. Per Bob Nightengale of USA Today, Shildt is not necessarily retiring from baseball altogether. Rather, he is simply not looking to continue managing in the immediate future. When asked about the possibility, Shildt said, “Not at the moment. I need a break and take care of myself.” That’s not a definitive declaration that he’ll return to the dugout at some point, but Shildt left the door open for potential future opportunities. A return under those conditions would hardly be unprecedented; we’ve recently seen both Bruce Bochy and Terry Francona return to big league dugouts at older ages than Shildt. With the Padres now looking for a new skipper, a staggering 10 out of 30 teams will enter 2026 with a different manager than the one with which they opened the 2025 season. President of baseball operations A.J. Preller thanked Shildt for his “significant contributions to the Padres and the San Diego community over the last four years” in a press release this morning and added that the search for a new manager will begin immediately.

(Photo Credit: Icon Productions) A major Resurrection of the Christ update has been revealed for Mel Gibson‘s long-awaited sequel to 2004’s biblical drama The Passion of the Christ. The sequel will be divided into two parts, both of which will premiere in 2027. The Resurrection of the Christ: Part One is set to debut in theaters on March 26, 2027. Production on Part One will begin soon in Rome. As for The Resurrection of the Christ: Part Two, it is currently scheduled for release on May 6, 2027. What is the new update for the Resurrection of the Christ? According to THR, The Passion of the Christ lead star Jim Caviezel will no longer reprise his role as Jesus Christ in Lionsgate’s The Resurrection of the Christ movies. Before Caviezel’s exit, he had been attached to the project since 2018. In addition, it has also been confirmed that Beetlejuice Beetlejuice star Monica Bellucci is also not returning as Mary Magdalene. At the moment, further details about the recasting are still under wraps. The sequel will once again be directed by Gibson. It will center around the miraculous resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Oscar-winning director previously teased that he has co-written two different scripts for the project, with the first one described as “an acid trip” that will take audiences to “other realms.” The Passion of the Christ depicted the final days of Jesus Christ’s life and his crucifixion. It starred Caviezel, Bellucci, Maia Morgenstern as Mary, Francesco De Vito as Peter, Luca Lionello as Judas, and more. Despite receiving mixed reviews, the film was still a commercial success. It earned a worldwide gross of $612 million against a reported budget of around $30 million. For two decades, the movie was the highest-grossing R-rated movie in the U.S. (Source: THR) The post Mel Gibson’s Resurrection of the Christ Gets Disappointing Update appeared first on ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More.
