Angels plan to build $2.5B stadium

Incoming Los Angeles Angels owner Stan Kroenke plans to construct a $2.5-billion ballpark to replace Angel Stadium.

Kroenke agreed to buy the Angels from longtime owner Arte Moreno on Tuesday for a reported MLB-record price of $4 billion. The deal is expected to be finalized in the early stages of 2027.

The American billionaire's company built and owns SoFi Stadium - the home of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams - and the complex around it, which will be the site of the 2028 Summer Olympics.

Ronald Acuna breaks MLB record

Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a three-run homer to become the fastest player in major league history to reach 200 home runs and 200 stolen bases, and the Atlanta Braves beat the Washington Nationals 9-0 on Wednesday.

Sean Murphy homered for the third time in five games, a three-run shot in the sixth inning that broke a scoreless tie in a game that was interrupted by a 1-hour, 25-minute rain delay in the fourth.

Acuña followed with a drive to left-center in the seventh, his 14th of the season, to make it 6-0. He needed 904 games to reach the 200/200 club. Alfonso Soriano set the previous record at 929 games in August of 2006 while playing for the Nationals against the Braves.

Matt Gogel suspended 6 months for betting

Matt Gogel has been suspended for six months for betting on golf. The PGA Tour said Wednesday none of the wagers were for tournaments he was playing.

Seahawks sign Williams to 3 Year $90M

The Seattle Seahawks and defensive tackle Leonard Williams have agreed to a three-year, $90-million extension.

The extension also includes $56 million in guaranteed money. He was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2026 campaign.

Seattle acquired Williams in a 2023 trade with the New York Giants for second- and fifth-round picks. The Giants later used that second-round selection on safety Tyler Nubin.

Jed York arrested for engaging prostitution

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York used an alias when he sent text messages over two days to a woman he believed to be a prostitute before he was arrested in a sting operation in Ohio, according to a police incident report obtained Tuesday.

The report from the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force had more than two pages redacted but provided more details about what led to York's arrest and ultimately to him pleading no contest Monday to two misdemeanors.

York initially responded to an advertisement placed by police on a known prostitution website on Saturday, according to the report, sending two messages that went unanswered and saying his name was “Joe” and that he wanted to visit the woman.

Cal Raleigh blasts 3 home run night

Cal Raleigh busted out of a season-long slump with the first three-homer game of his career Monday night.

The switch-hitting catcher capped a five-run first inning with a two-run shot off struggling Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler. Raleigh and Cole Young opened the fifth with back-to-back homers, chasing Wheeler, and Raleigh connected for another solo shot off reliever Chase Shugart in the seventh to give him 17 home runs this season.

49ers Owner Jed York arrested

San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was arrested over the weekend in Ohio and pleaded no contest to misdemeanour charges of disorderly conduct and possessing criminal tools.

York was arrested Sunday in East Palestine, Ohio, and was released after posting a $5,000 bond. He was sentenced to one day in jail for both offenses to be served concurrently and was credited with one day served when he pleaded no contest Monday morning. He also was fined $1,150.

Court records show that York initially was charged with engaging in prostitution, but prosecutors amended that to disorderly conduct. Records also show that York had a cellphone returned to him and that $160 that was seized was to be given to the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force as part of the plea agreement. York also completed on online course.

The 49ers and the NFL didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

The 46-year-old York took over day-to-day control of the 49ers from his parents in 2008. He became the team’s principal owner in 2024. After some initial struggles under York’s leadership, the team has been a consistent contender since hiring coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch in 2017.

Mahomes is confident he’ll start the season

Patrick needs a serious bounce back season. An injury free season and a season with teammates that have the desire to win. If it were up to Patrick Mahomes, he would have suited up for Saturday's preseason game. Though he didn't, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback says he should be ready for the team's regular-season opener Sept. 14.

This is a good sign….. Mahomes told the broadcast during Saturday's exhibition game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that he's "extremely confident" he'll play Week 1. But you need to wonder how much truth is there to this statement.

Mahomes, who suffered a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee last December, said he wanted to play Saturday, but the decision wasn't up to him. He is hoping to feature in the Chiefs' preseason finale against the Seattle Seahawks on Aug. 28. Maybe things will progress and continue to improve give the Chiefs their starting quarterback to begin the season.

Buckle up, will Patrick start? We will see.

Puka Nacua leaves with injury

Yikes, Puka Nacua leaves early with injury. This could definitely hurt the Rams if he doesn’t return quickly. The question becomes, how severe is the injury and how long will it take to recover. That’s what the Rams will be uncovering as soon as possible.

Defensive end Myles Garrett was held out of the Los Angeles Rams' joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, while wide receiver Puka Nacua left the workout early because of an apparent injury.

Sean McVay said Garrett did not participate as a precaution because of swelling in his knee, which has the two-time AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year who was acquired in a blockbuster trade in June feeling 85% healthy, according to his new head coach. Garrett missed time earlier in training camp because of what McVay described as lower body soreness.

Jorge Messi passes away

Sad story that shocked the soccer community earlier today. Jorge Messi, the father of soccer star and Argentina captain Lionel Messi, died Saturday at a hospital in the central Argentina city of Rosario.

The Rosario-based Club Atlético Newell’s Old Boys announced his death in a social media post that said he had undergone treatment in recent months for an unspecified illness. The post described him as “the pillar and the person who, with vision, rigor and affection, supported the career of the best player of all time, alongside his wife, Celia Cuccittini.”

Gibbs signs HUGE contract with Lions

Oh wow, huge contract alert!!!

The Detroit Lions are signing running back Jahmyr Gibbs to a three-year extension worth up to $75.75 million. This is insane people….. can anyone please explain to me how or why one player can make this kind of money? Honestly, think about it. It’s ridiculous when we have millions of people struggling and starving all over the world.

The new deal makes Gibbs the NFL's highest-paid running back ahead of Bijan Robinson, who inked a three-year contract worth up to $75 million earlier this week.

Gibbs' deal is worth $67.5 million before the incentives that could bump it to $75.75 million and contains $51.5 million in guaranteed money.

Ravens sign Flowers to 4 Years

The Baltimore Ravens signed flowers to a four year contract. What do you think about this? I think this is great for the Ravens to strengthen their team overall.

Flowers is coming off a career season in which he recorded 86 receptions and 1,211 receiving yards. His 72.9% catch rate and 10.3 yards per target in 2025 were also personal bests.

Baltimore picked up Flowers' fifth-year option this offseason. The former Boston College product said earlier this year that he didn't want to play anywhere else.

The 25-year-old has improved each season since entering the NFL as a first-round pick in 2023. He posted 858 yards as a rookie, registered 1,059 yards in his second season, and then reached 1,211 yards last year. He's totaled 237 receptions for 3,128 yards and 14 touchdowns over 50 career games.

Aaron Boone not surprised by Skubal trade

Is it safe to say that the baseball world was stunned by the LA Dodgers landing Skubal from the Detroit Tigers? Yes! Absolutely!

But guess what, the New York Yankees manager, Aaron Boone was far from surprised. He wasn’t surprised at all. The Dodgers are looking to win their third World Series championship in a row and they’re determined to get the best players possible before the deadline to make that happen.

Tell me how you feel.

Dodgers land Skubal from Tigers

Oh boy, here we go all over again. I think it’s safe to say “money talks” in a world of no cap rules. Salary cap that is. I guess you can say the Los Angeles Dodgers are going all in for a three-peat.

The two-time defending World Series champions are acquiring ace Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers for outfielder Zyhir Hope, right-hander River Ryan, and right-hander Brady Smith, sources told Jeff Passan of ESPN.

Skubal, the reigning two-time AL Cy Young winner, was the top available trade candidate going into Monday's deadline. He owns a 2.79 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, and 116 strikeouts across 96 2/3 innings.

The left-hander missed six weeks earlier in the season after undergoing surgery to remove loose bodies in his elbow. He's made nine starts since coming off the IL, posting a 2.87 ERA with 71 strikeouts.

Skubal said he wanted to remain in Detroit this season, but the Tigers opted to trade the 29-year-old before he could hit free agency this winter. He's expected to sign the biggest contract for a pitcher in MLB history once he hits the open market.

White Sox land Castillo from Mariners

Now this is interesting….

The Chicago White Sox are making strides and splashing waves at the opportunity to become competitive again. They are acquiring right-hander Luis Castillo in a trade with the Seattle Mariners for reliever Seranthony Domínguez, outfielder Nolan Jones, and catching prospect Boston Smith.

The White Sox will take on all of Castillo's remaining contract, a source told Alden Gonzalez of ESPN. Here are a few stats for you to nibble on. The 33-year-old is owed around $7.25 million for the rest of 2026, will earn $22.75 million in 2027, and has a $25-million vesting option for 2028 if he accumulates 180 innings.

Yikes, check this out….. Castillo owns a 5.06 ERA with 7.8 K/9 over 99 2/3 innings (17 starts) this season. He's authored a career 3.65 ERA with 1.19 WHIP and 9.4 K/9 with the Mariners and Cincinnati Reds across 10 years.

The three-time All-Star reportedly joins a White Sox rotation that includes breakout starters Davis Martin and Sean Burke.

Domínguez posted a 4.10 ERA with 10.8 K/9 and 12 saves over 42 appearances with the White Sox. The right-hander is still owed $10 million next year and has a $2-million buyout on $12-million option for 2028.

Smith was the 15th-ranked prospect in Chicago's minor-league system.

CBS Sports puts Tony Romo on leave

Tony, Tony, Tony….. what are you thinking? You had a successful career, huge contracts and fame beyond your dreams. This is not the way you want to go about things right now and jeopardize your reputation.

CBS Sports placed NFL broadcaster Tony Romo on leave after his arrest last week on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence.

"Tony Romo is on leave from his role at CBS Sports until further notice," the network said Friday.

The network also said that former NFL star J.J. Watt will join Jim Nantz and Tracy Wolfson on its lead broadcasting team during Romo's absence.

Celebrini signs 5 Year $94M

This kid is unbelievable. I read that he offered the San Jose Sharks organization the opportunity to pay him less so they could spread the wealth and make the team more competitive by bringing in other players that would make them compete now.

The San Jose Sharks signed star forward Macklin Celebrini to a five-year contract extension with an $18.8-million cap hit, the team announced Wednesday.

Celebrini has one year left on his entry-level contract. The new pact kicks in during the 2027-28 campaign.

He's set to become the highest-paid player in the NHL, passing Leo Carlsson, who signed for five years at $18 million earlier in July after the Anaheim Ducks matched the Philadelphia Flyers' offer sheet.

Ohtani out with knee soreness

One of the best baseball players to have ever played the game had come up lame…. Injured with soreness in his left knee. I would bet the Dodgers will be looking for something before the trade deadline.

Shohei Ohtani wasn't in the lineup for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night because of lingering soreness in his left knee that is keeping him off the mound.

The two-way superstar wanted to play against the Seattle Mariners, manager Dave Roberts said, but it was the team's decision to rest him. Ohtani told the training staff of renewed soreness after Wednesday night's 4-2 win.

Deebo Samuel signs with 49ers

What do we all think about this move? Samuel heading back to the 49ers on a year? Well, it happened…. free agent wide receiver Deebo Samuel is heading back to the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million.

Samuel spent the 2025 campaign with the Washington Commanders after the 49ers traded him away last offseason to clear salary, netting San Francisco just a fifth-round pick in the deal.

In Washington, Samuel posted 727 receiving yards and five touchdowns while also running for 75 yards and a touchdown.

Trey Mullinax suspended from PGA

Suspended six months! Yikes!!!

Trey Mullinax has received a six-month suspension for violating the PGA Tour's anti-doping policy after testing positive for a substance banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Mullinax said in a statement provided Wednesday by the PGA Tour he used a medication to treat a condition he was diagnosed with while in college without seeking approval under the policy.

Blue Jays Sell or Buy?

Kevin Gausman doesn’t want to go anywhere! This is the message he’s throwing to the universe leading up to the August 3rd deadline. So, tell me…. what’s happening with the Toronto Blue Jays this season. World Series Game 7 finalists to dead last in the AL East?!

I understand the team has had a magnitude of injuries. Starting pitchers, bullpen and several starters such as Kirk and Barger. It hasn’t been easy this season especially when Vladdy has done very little. Is it true that he still has not hit a home run at Rogers Centre this season??? Yikes!

Do the Blue Jays become buyers or sellers in the next coming days leading up to the deadline? I’m not sure but what I do know, they better make a run in August to give the fans something to feel good about when they don’t make the postseason. At least contend and make it somewhat exciting.

Jake Paul in the NFL?

Someone please explain this to me.... why on earth would Jake Paul express interest in pursuing the NFL?

Professional football requires years of specialized development. Players spend their youth mastering complex offensive and defensive systems before competing at the collegiate level, where NFL scouts evaluate thousands of prospects every season. Even for exceptional athletes, breaking into the NFL without recent football experience is extraordinarily difficult. Jake Paul thinks this will be easy. What?

To have success in the NFL depends on much more than physical fitness. Players must quickly process defensive formations, execute precise assignments, understand complex playbooks, and react instantly to changing situations during live competition. These skills are developed through years of practice and game experience. Jake Paul simply doesn't have these skills.... at least, not yet.

He legit thinks he's fast than most, has better hands than most and can play the game better than most NFL athletes. Come on, this guy has fallen from the nutty tree and hit several branches on the way down. Has Jake Paul lost his mind?

Jackson Koivun wins the 3M Open

Jackson Koivun felt the nerves but never flinched, securing his first PGA Tour win in the face of a strong finish by the world’s top-ranked player and clear fan favourite in Scottie Scheffler.

Kyle Shanahan recovering from car accident

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan suffered non-life-threatening injuries in a car accident last week, the team announced Saturday.

Shanahan will participate in team activities during training camp on a limited basis.

The 46-year-old suffered a concussion, three broken ribs, a broken hand, a broken nose, and needed over 40 stitches in his face.

Barger season ending elbow surgery

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Addison Barger will undergo season-ending elbow surgery, manager John Schneider said Friday.

Schneider added the team still doesn't know whether Barger will undergo Tommy John surgery or an internal brace procedure.

"It's tough to lose the whole year of at-bats, reps, and performance. We were counting on him to be a big part of our team. You can see how much we miss him, for sure," Schneider said

Tony Romo arrested

In a series of social media posts made Friday, James explained that he believes he can help transform Philadelphia into a championship team. He also said this will be his "last decision."

The Kawhi saga continues

When the details of an unusual arrangement between a now-defunct sponsor of the Los Angeles Clippers and Kawhi Leonard were first revealed by journalist Pablo Torre almost a year ago, it seemed likely that the NBA would wrap up its investigation into potential salary-cap circumvention quickly.

The Clippers, after all, were hosting All-Star Weekend in February. Surely commissioner Adam Silver wouldn't want the specter of a possible cheating scandal involving one of the league's best players hanging over the festivities?

Not only was Silver apparently fine with that, he was also OK with the investigation continuing throughout the regular season and into the playoffs, which might have gotten terribly awkward had the Clippers gone deep.

Max Fried returns to the lineup

Max Fried allowed one hit over five innings in his return from a two-month layoff, Jasson Domínguez and Anthony Volpe drove in runs on consecutive pitches in the seventh and the New York Yankees beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 2-0 Wednesday night for a doubleheader split.

Players have been sharing threats and harassment they’ve received on social media over the last few weeks. Chelsea Gray of the Las Vegas Aces posted a message from a man that included a racial slur. The man was tracked down and fired from his job at Hilton Grand Vacations.

Orioles snap Red Sox 15 game winning streak

The Boston Red Sox had their 15-game winning streak snapped when the Baltimore Orioles handed them a 5-1 loss in the nightcap of Wednesday's doubleheader at Fenway Park.

Ramirez returns to the lineup

The Cleveland Guardians activated star third baseman José Ramírez from the 10-day injured list, the club announced Wednesday.

Spain wins World Cup

Ferran Torres scored an extra-time winner as Spain defeated holders Argentina 1-0 to win the World Cup on Sunday and shatter Lionel Messi's dreams of a triumphant farewell to football's greatest stage.

Barcelona striker Torres lashed home a thumping finish in the 106th minute to reward a dominant display by Spain against an Argentina team who failed to register a single shot on target in 120 minutes.

Ryan Fox wins the British Open

Ryan Fox captured his first major championship in epic fashion Sunday, birdieing the difficult 18th at Royal Birkdale to claim the Open Championship by one shot over Cameron Young.

Young began his round seven shots off Sam Burns' lead, but blitzed the course early with a 6-under 64 to post 9-under for the championship. He then watched from the clubhouse for over two hours as the contenders faltered one-by-one leaving just Fox as his threat.
