Red Sox Build Pitching Depth on Day 2 of MLB Draft

On Day 2 of the MLB Draft, the Red Sox leaned into pitching, using 11 of 16 selections on pitchers including four consecutive college arms in rounds 5–8 and leveraging bonus-pool money after taking UNC shortstop Jake Schaffner in Round 1. Notable picks include Lucas Davenport (5th, 6‑6, 230, 94–96 mph), Brett Lanman (6th, 6‑5, 228, mid-90s), and high-upside additions Martin Shelar (9th, power-hitting outfielder) and Kaleb LaFavor (10th, 6‑6, 180, up to 95 mph). The haul, overseen by first-year director Jake Bruml, emphasizes strike-throwing with starter potential, and Boston expects to sign all of its first 10 selections pending medicals.

Gaza aid groups push back on Israeli data demands, eyeing GDPR safeguards

The EU Commission says it’s monitoring the situation and aims to facilitate privacy‑respecting solutions, warning that blocking aid could jeopardize life-saving relief.
