Recently, National League MVP Giancarlo Stanton was traded from the Miami Marlins to the New York Yankees. There have been mixed reviews pertaining to this trade. Some people believe that since Derek Jeter is currently the CEO for the Miami Marlins, he manipulated Stanton to leave the Marlins and become a part of Jeter’s old team, the Yankees. Initially I thought that Jeter, in some way, influenced Staton to go to the Yankees, but now I realize that there was much more to the trade than what meets the surface.

For years, the Chicago Cubs and the Houston Astros have been rebuilding their teams in order to bring home the title of World Series Champions. Pertaining to the Stanton trade, that is precisely what the Marlins are trying to do. The Marlins have not won a World Series since 2003 and are currently trying to rebuild their team.

Stanton did not want to be a part of this rebuilding because he wanted to be apart of a team that is going to win “now”.

He had three options: St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, and the New York Yankees. Initially he only received offers from the Cardinals and the Giants, but from the beginning Stanton did not want to be apart of either teams. Apparently, the Marlins threatened to keep Stanton for the rest of his career if he did not accept the trade from New York or St. Louis.

But in the end, he received an offer from the Yankees and chose them.

Some people are also questioning the equality of the trade. The Yankees received National League MVP whereas the Marlins received 2 prospects and Starling Castro. On the surface it seems like an unequal trade but with the Marlins among the midst of rebuilding, they seem satisfied with their end of the bargain. Also in November 2014 Stanton signed a contract for $325 million and has been underpaid for the past few years. The Marlins payroll was unable to abide by Stanton’s contract and therefore wanted to trade him. The Yankees are financially able to honor the rest of Stanton’s contract for the next couple seasons.

This upcoming season is bound to be an exciting one for the Yankees. With their lineup including Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, who knows what this upcoming season holds.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

Humans and robots face off in a rock band battle with guitars and drums, under dynamic lighting.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
