Phillies Reportedly Interested In Cardinals Trio As Trade Deadline Nears
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The Philadelphia Phillies are in an arms race with the New York Mets, and they aren't done yet. According to Bob Nightengale, the Phillies have expressed interest in a trio of players from the St. Louis Cardinals, who are reportedly "wide open for business."

More Photo byThe Phillies are interested in Lars Nootbaar, Brendan Donovan and Alec Burleson as the trade deadline countdown is on. While the Cardinals are still set on retooling for their new regime, that does not protect some of the major league assets at this trade deadline. Donovan was an All-Star this season for the first time in his career and has a couple more seasons of team control left before he hits free agency. The Cardinals' lefty can play all around the diamond and would fit into the Phillies' needs, wherever they may need him. Burleson and Nootbaar have been part of a blocked-up outfield that the Cardinals have spent this season trying to solve for the future, and Burleson has solidified himself in the Cardinals' lineup for the future. The outfielder has hit .287 this season with 14 home runs, which would result in a decent return for the Cardinals and would slot into the Phillies' outfield. Nootbaar has been expected to break out for the past few seasons, but has struggled to stay on the field with injuries and has shown flashes of what he can be at times. Like Burleson, Nootbaar would be able to slot into the Phillies outfield down the stretch, and if he gets hot, he could be a great investment for Philadelphia. Neither team is done yet, but both are setting up to head in different directions as a franchise, and both teams have some moves left to be made before the deadline shuts down the market.

Cardinals shut down Marlins behind Pallante's pitching
Andre Pallante allowed one hit in seven scoreless innings as the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the visiting Miami Marlins 7-1 on Monday night. Pallante (6-7) struck out four batters and walked one while enjoying quite a turnaround from his previous three starts, when he allowed 18 runs, 17 earned, on 25 hits in 15 2/3 innings. Masyn Winn went 3 for 4 with two doubles, a run and three RBI for the Cardinals, who won for just the fourth time in 11 games since the All-Star break. Alec Burleson had a homer, two runs and two RBI. Marlins starter Edward Cabrera (4-5) allowed two runs, one earned, on four hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out four. Burleson's homer put the Cardinals up 1-0 in the third inning. The 411-foot shot to center was his 14th of the year. The Marlins threatened in the fourth inning when Jesus Sanchez walked with one out and advanced to second on a groundout. However, Pallante struck out Heriberto Hernandez to strand the runner. The Cardinals increased their lead to 2-0 in the bottom of the inning. Yohel Pozo hit a double, then took third on a wild pitch and scored on catcher Agustin Ramirez's wild throw. Pallante held the Marlins without a hit until the sixth inning, when Graham Pauley led off with a single to right. Pauley advanced to third on two groundouts before Sanchez hit an inning-ending grounder back to Pallante. St. Louis' Victor Scott II hit a one-out double in the seventh inning. After Scott stole third base, Brendan Donovan and Ivan Herrera walked to load the bases. A catcher's interference call with Burleson batting forced in a run. Lake Bachar relieved Josh Simpson on the mound and struck out Willson Contreras before allowing Winn's double that cleared the bases thanks in part to an error by left fielder Hernandez. Jordan Walker's RBI double then increased the Cardinals' lead to 7-0. The Marlins finally got on the board in the ninth inning when Hernandez hit an RBI single against Matt Svanson.

Evil way Texas man aborted girlfriend's baby without her even knowing
A federal employee from Texas allegedly lured his pregnant girlfriend to a coffee shop under the guise of discussing their unborn child. But when she arrived, the expectant mother was unknowingly dosed with an abortion drug slipped into her drink that killed the baby she wanted to keep, according to authorities. Justin Anthony Banta, 38, was arrested on Friday and charged with capital murder after allegedly spiking his girlfriend's drink with the so-called 'Plan C' pill. The US Bureau of Prisons IT worker is accused of ordering the abortion-inducing pill online after his girlfriend told him she didn't want to terminate the pregnancy in October 2024. The Plan C pill is used to abort a pregnancy of up to 12 weeks, compared to Plan B which is used to block pregnancy within 72 hours of intercourse. The alleged victim was six-weeks pregnant when authorities say she met Banta at a Tarrant County coffee shop. She had just recently had a sonogram and learned the baby had 'a strong heartbeat, displayed good vital signs and was said to be healthy by her doctor,' according to Parker County Sheriff's Office. When she arrived at the Burleson coffee shop to discuss the pregnancy, Banta had allegedly already purchased her a drink. Investigators reviewed surveillance footage at the coffee shop which showed her consuming the drink, according to an affidavit obtained by the Dallas Morning News. 'The next day, the victim stated she began to suffer from extreme fatigue and heavy bleeding, prompting her to visit the emergency room,' authorities said. 'The victim reported she lost her baby on Oct. 19, which she believed was a result of the drugs Banta had previously placed in her drink at the coffee shop without her permission.' During an interview with police, Banta told them he knew they were looking to discuss the miscarriage with him and also told police he ordered the Plan C pills on his phone, Fox 13 reported. As the investigation into the accusations began, Banta's phone was taken for evidence. But investigator's believed that Banta allegedly performed a 'reset' on the device, erasing 'crucial' evidence related to the case. The Bureau of Prisons Director William Marshall III told the Morning News that he 'will use every authority, every tool and every ounce of influence I have to ensure those individuals are held accountable, and will do so publicly to send a clear message: if you dishonor the uniform, you will be held accountable. Full stop.' Banta was booked into Parker County Jail on Friday on a charged from the PCSO for tampering with physical evidence and a charge from the Texas Rangers for capital murder Banta's lawyer Michael Heiskell has disputed the charges and claimed the accusations were a result of a romantic relationship that 'went awry.' 'He is innocent of these accusations,' he told the Morning News. 'We intend to litigate this court, and at the end of the day we expect him to be exonerated of these charges and lies against him.' Banta was booked into Parker County Jail on Friday on a charged from the PCSO for tampering with physical evidence and a charge from the Texas Rangers for capital murder. He was released the same day on a $500,000 bond for the murder charge and a $20,000 bond for the evidence tampering charge.

Harvest House seeks donations to help residents get ahead
A program designed to help local residents get ahead is in need of help to continue. As residents with low income scramble to pay their bills, they are often unable to take steps to better themselves. Instead they live in a reactionary mode, constantly addressing the most recent crisis. 'Together, we can break the cycle of poverty — one meal, one relationship, one future at a time,' Harvest House Executive Director Amber Case said. Get Ahead Burleson, a 16-week program hosted by Harvest House, empowers individuals facing poverty to examine their lives and communities, identify barriers to stability and build practical tools to reduce debt, increase income, access vital resources and create a long-term plan for success. At 9 a.m. each Wednesday, participants enjoy a shared breakfast — a simple act that builds connection, trust and a safe space for transformation. 'Whether it's tacos, fruit, pastries, juice or a financial gift, your support offers more than nourishment — it restores dignity, sparks hope and strengthens lives,' Harvest House Program Coordinator Niki Cary said. The program is based on the 'Bridges Out of Poverty' model used in 46 states and five countries with over 80,000 Ruby Payne has a 30-year history of studying the culture of poverty, addressing possible solutions and influencing communities to work together to alleviate barriers. The main goal is to equip participants to better understand how our society and economy work. By graduation, they will recognize the impact poverty and low wages have in their lives and what it takes to move from a just-getting-by world to a getting-ahead world. 'Getting Ahead helped me realize that stability is possible — for me and for my children,' one participant said. 'I'm building a better life, one step at a time.' Business leaders serve as guest speakers, providing networking to bridge the gap between economic classes and increasing social capital as they build relationships. Harvest House is seeking donations or sponsorships to continue providing the meals through Aug. 20. To get involved or make a donation, contact Cary at 817-295-6252, ext. 106, or nikic@
