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.
