The SF Giants and the impending roster crunch (Around the Foghorn)

The move dropped the number of arbitration-eligible players on the roster from 13 ...

For now, expect a lot of activity at the start of the offseason. The next moves that the Giants will need to make will be activating all players from the 60-day injured list. The Giants finished the season with 10 players on the 60-day injured list, but only eight of them need to be activated because Álvarez and Belt will be declared free agents by then. There were a lot of new faces on the Giants in September and this will make for a busy start to the offseason. Near the end of the season, the Giants were aggressive in using the 60-day injured list to create playing opportunities for new players. The move dropped the number of arbitration-eligible players on the roster from 13 to 12.

Moody's assigns (P)Aaa (sf) to Notes to be issued by Lanark Master ... (Moody's)

London, October 24, 2022 -- Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") has assigned a provisional long-term credit rating to Notes to be issued by Lanark Master ...

The Global Scale Credit Rating on this Credit Rating Announcement was issued by one of Moody's affiliates outside the EU and is endorsed by Moody's Deutschland GmbH, An der Welle 5, Frankfurt am Main 60322, Germany, in accordance with Art.4 paragraph 3 of the Regulation (EC) No 1060/2009 on Credit Rating Agencies. Alternatively, please see the Rating Methodologies page on [https://ratings.moodys.com](https://ratings.moodys.com) for a copy of this methodology. For provisional ratings, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to the provisional rating assigned, and in relation to a definitive rating that may be assigned subsequent to the final issuance of the debt, in each case where the transaction structure and terms have not changed prior to the assignment of the definitive rating in a manner that would have affected the rating. For ratings issued on a support provider, this announcement provides certain regulatory disclosures in relation to the credit rating action on the support provider and in relation to each particular credit rating action for securities that derive their credit ratings from the support provider's credit rating. Moody's quantitative analysis entails an evaluation of scenarios that stress factors contributing to sensitivity of ratings and take into account the likelihood of severe collateral losses or impaired cash flows. As a second step, Moody's evaluates each possible collateral loss scenario using a model that replicates the relevant structural features to derive payments and therefore the ultimate potential losses for each rated instrument. The analysis undertaken by Moody's at the initial assignment of a rating for an RMBS security may focus on aspects that become less relevant or typically remain unchanged during the surveillance stage. Moody's Portfolio Variation test ("MPV test"). In the context of the new notes issuance, the existing program documentation contains a 0.3% variation limit on the MPV test result at the time new loans are added but no new rated notes are issued. The rating is primarily based on the credit quality of the portfolio, the structural features of the transaction and its legal integrity. The transaction structure includes a mechanism for Clydesdale Bank PLC to compensate the issuer for the reduction in interest receipts. The Reserve Fund will be funded to 1.24% of the total funding Notes outstanding at closing, the total credit enhancement for the Class A Notes will be 12.00% and could remain as low as 12.00% on an on-going basis.

The SF Giants were one of nine MLB teams with scouts in attendance to watch 20-year-old right-handed pitcher Chen-Hsun Lee.

However, Lee could turn pro with the NPB in Japan before being posted to MLB teams sometime down the line. Lee is currently in college and is expected to sign with an NPB or MLB team. While there were presumably many players to watch, Taiwanese 20-year-old right-handed pitcher Chen-Hsun Lee is expected to be the focus of the trip.

The SFPD reportedly just graduated 13 new recruits from its academy last week and 28 more are in training, but the department still has 300 vacant spots to fill. It's not clear if the new ambassador initiative will be an expansion of the city's extant contract with Urban Alchemy. But Breed says these ambassadors' presence will help to free up the SFPD to address more significant crimes. Breed added, As the

I believe community ambassadors will help us accomplish both goals and am so excited we will shortly have dozens of ambassadors walking the streets to help people feel safe and restore some vibrancy to the neighborhood.” “By bringing on these new ambassadors, the City’s police officers will be able to better respond to crimes and our high-traffic and frequently visited locations will have an added layer of public safety. “As San Francisco’s shopping and dining scene picks up and with the many public activations coming online, we want people to have a warm and welcoming experience wherever they go in our beautiful city.” “This new expansion will enhance the public safety for all San Franciscans and visitors to feel safer while walking on our city’s streets, parking at our garages and traveling through the various shared Muni and BART transit platforms and stations.” More attendants will allow BART safety staff such as our police officers, Transit Ambassadors, and Crisis Intervention Specialist to focus on their work walking trains and stations responding to calls for service and the needs of vulnerable populations.” In total, the expansion will add up to 150 new ambassadors and attendants, which are expected to be a mix of Mid-Market/Tenderloin Safety Ambassadors, orange jacketed SF Welcome Ambassadors, BART service attendants, and SFPD Community Ambassadors, which are retired police officers that serve in a supportive role to offer an added layer of safety.
