CGI expands operations in multiple U.S. metro markets with DaughertyThe New York Mets’ chances to land star third baseman Alex Bregman remain strong. The Mets reportedly have a strong chance of landing Alex Bregman Jon Heyman of the New York Post reported that Bregman to the Mets is still a great fit and likely landing spot for him, but also included two other ball clubs from the American League as strong suitors, saying: “You know what, I’m not gonna rule out Bregman to the Mets at this point. I think they do like him very much. Vientos would then go to first. Possible. Can’t rule it out. I mean, the guy’s a gamer,” Heyman said before mentioning the New York Yankees with a disclaimer including their rounded roster and payroll. Heyman then continued by saying: “The Mets, who knows what their limit is? Maybe they go for Bregman? I don’t know if they pivot from Alonso. Right now I think they’re looking at Alonso, I don’t know how close they are with Alonso. We’re gonna get to Alonso next. Bregman, I still think the best opportunities are the Red Sox and the Tigers.” Bregman is one of the top free agents remaining Bregman is one of the best remaining players on the market, regardless of position. The former two-time World Series champion would bring power hitting to the Mets’ order, and top-of-the-line defense to their hot corner, as proven by his Gold Glove Award-winning campaign from 2024, where he led the MLB with 103 putouts and American League with 242 assists, 23 double plays turned and a .972 fielding percentage for the Houston Astros. Should Steve Cohen opt to bring the New Mexico native on board, he’d take over the third base slot while last season’s starting 3B Mark Vientos would likely move to first in Alonso’s stead. Bregman, Lindor, and second baseman Jeff McNeil would form one of the most formidable infield units in the Majors, with stout support from Vientos as the Mets look to advance past the NCLS from a season ago, reach and come away with a World Series win in 2025.

U.K. shares higher at close of trade; Investing.com United Kingdom 100 up 1.38%Alyssa Nakken, first full-time female coach in MLB history, leaving Giants to join GuardiansA U.S. Supreme Court case challenging a Tennessee ban on gender affirming care for teens will likely have major implications for transgender rights nationwide, but Montana’s unique state Constitution could safeguard protections nevertheless, an ACLU attorney says. In question at the nation’s highest court is a 2023 Tennessee state law that prohibits trans youth from receiving medical treatments prescribed to help them transition such as puberty blockers and hormone therapy. It’s very similar to Montana’s Senate Bill 99 from the last legislative session, which banned a slew of procedures and treatments used for gender dysphoria, the psychiatric condition that creates distress for a person whose gender identity differs from their sex assigned at birth. SB 99, titled "Montana’s Youth Protection Act," was temporarily blocked by a Missoula district court judge last year, days before it was set to go into effect. Senators debate SB99 on the Senate floor on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2023 in the state Capitol. United States v. Skrmetti asks whether the Tennessee transgender health care ban is tantamount to discrimination under the federal Constitution’s equal protection clause. President Joe Biden’s administration brought the legal challenge, arguing Tennessee’s law should be overturned on these grounds. Lawyers representing the state of Tennessee contend that though the law applies specifically to trans teens, it should not trigger the greater legal standard required to protect against sex-based discrimination. Supreme Court justices heard oral arguments on Tuesday. A decision is not expected until July, though it appears likely that the conservative majority will rule in favor of Tennessee. Trans rights advocates worry such a ruling could open the door to all kinds of targeted restrictions. Alex Rate, legal director for ACLU of Montana, said the outcome of the Skrmetti case should not directly impact ongoing efforts to overturn SB 99 because of the unique protections in the Montana Constitution that go beyond federal law. Alex Rate, legal director for ACLU of Montana The federal Constitution sets the floor, “below which we cannot go,” Rate explains, but states have the power to determine the ceiling, which means they can grant individuals greater protections that expand on federal liberties. Abortion rights are an illustrative example of how these differences between state and federal law can play out. When Roe v. Wade overturned federal abortion protections, Montana’s constitutional right to privacy continued to ensure access to reproductive health care. Chase Scheuer, press secretary for Attorney General Austin Knudsen, urged the United States Supreme Court to uphold the Tennessee law. When Gov. Greg Gianforte signed SB 99 into law in April 2023, the ACLU promptly filed a lawsuit against it representing three families with transgender youth and two medical providers who work with transgender youth. The case, Van Garderen v. Montana, then resulted in a preliminary injunction against SB 99 from a Montana state district court judge, who said the law “is unlikely to survive any level of constitutional review” and “barring access to gender affirming care would negatively impact gender dysphoric minors’ mental and physical health.” According to Rate, Montana’s equal protection clause is more specific than its federal counterpart and has been interpreted by state courts to provide greater protections. Additionally, he argues the state’s robust right to privacy encompasses decisions made between parents, transgender teens and their health care providers. Scheuer had a different take. "The Supreme Court’s decision could undercut the ACLU’s similar attack on SB99 in Montana as well," he said in a statement to the Montana State News Bureau. Should a new U.S. Congress pass federal legislation banning gender affirming care for transgender youth, for example, that could negate the ability of Montana health providers to offer the care, despite the state Constitution. There’s not a lot of law on transgender rights in Montana, which means there isn’t a great amount of legal precedent at the state level. It’s possible Montana courts could defer to federal decisions at the Supreme Court or elsewhere when thinking about a legal framework for analyzing the constitutionality of SB 99 or other future laws. “One would hope that a faithful interpretation of our state Constitution would lead to a potentially different result than what’s happening at the federal end,” Rate said. Gianforte continues to support SB 99 and other restrictions on health care for transgender youth like the one in Tennessee. He filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in October urging justices to uphold the Tennessee law on the basis that it allows youth to “have the freedom to grow up unhampered by improper interests and agendas and with access to appropriate tools and resources to promote both their development and ultimate success in society.” The governor’s administration applied many of the same arguments in the amicus brief as it has when supporting SB 99. It argues that medical treatments for gender dysphoria are “permanent, invasive, and life-altering” and that the state doesn’t seek to limit them for adults, only minor children. As of Aug., 26 states, including Montana, had passed some kind of ban against gender dysphoria health care for high school-aged youth. A majority are either currently tied up in litigation or temporarily blocked by the courts. Gender affirming care is considered safe, effective and medically necessary by major professional health associations, including the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Endocrine Society. Oral arguments for Van Garderen v. Montana are scheduled for June. Carly Graf is the State Bureau health care reporter for Lee Montana. Get Government & Politics updates in your inbox!
