The Chicago Cubs won their 8th straight last night ... a game that concluded with an overturned call using the Automated Balls and Strikes system.

Shareholder approval marks another important milestone towards completing our acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, building on our successful equity and debt syndications and progress across regulatory approvals.

"I feel like 100 is the new 95," said Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Will Klein, who first hit 100 in a summer ball all-star game in 2020 and expects to again this season, having topped out thus far at 98.8 mph. "It used to be, 'You throw 95, that's gas.' Now, it's 100. And now you see starters out there sitting 100."

I think it probably goes more to the larger cap puzzle that we're trying to build and remain competitive within the marketplace. In the end, there's only so many dollars to go around.

The Chicago Cubs have now won five games in a row, all supported by the third best run differential (+30) in Major League Baseball. They remain in fourth place of the NL Central, because pretty much every other team is playing hot right now, too.

A Padres sale at $3.9 billion would pancake the last record in MLB, back when Steve Cohen bought the Mets for $2.42 billion in 2020.

The Brewers won 63 of the 101 games they were the moneyline favorite last season, averaging 1.0 home run per game and ranking 12th in slugging percentage with .403.

ESPN's purchase of NFL Network and other league digital assets has been finalized after government regulators approved the transaction. The league and ESPN officially announced the closing of the deal Saturday night after the Justice Department and other non-US antitrust authorities completed their reviews. ESPN acquired NFL Network, NFL Fantasy and the rights to distribute the RedZone channel to cable and satellite operators and the league will get a 10% equity stake in ESPN.

Major League Baseball is making streaming options available for fans to watch in-market games of 20 teams, including the Dodgers, Los Angeles Angels, San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres - a significant shift to respond to the fast-changing TV landscape. The Angels on Tuesday announced its arrangement with the league to make its games more widely available. The club said the option - Angels.TV - would be available for purchase for $99.99 for the full season or $19.99 per month through the MLB app.

Per the reports, at least a few of the involved teams are considering going their own way - the Braves are set to do so, as the Rangers did previously - but it's possible as many as eight teams' broadcast rights will be joining the six that MLB already controls. The new eight would be the Cardinals, Brewers, Reds, Marlins, Rays, Tigers, Royals, and Angels.
