Rob Manfred: "We have tried mightily over several rounds of bargaining to use a competitive balance tax to address competitive concerns, and sometimes you've got to admit you failed."

Some personal news, as they say:

Excited beyond belief to be joining @NOTUSreports as a sports reporter, covering a mash-up of familiar topics for me: the overlap of sports + politics, the overlap of college sports + Capitol Hill, and ... wait for it ... the Nationals!

Are Knicks fans actually traveling to go see Finals games to save money?

[Jared Diamond @jareddiamond]

@COLST3457 @bridgelenderguy Are you still considering a trip to see the Knicks? I'd really love to talk to you if so! I can be reached here or at [email protected].

The Tampa Bay Rays, the owners of the best record in the major leagues, have spent nearly two decades trying to build a new stadium.

Their latest proposal might be their last shot. 🔗 https://t.co/AM3Al0dIxX

For @WSJSports I wrote about the Ben Rice origin story. It's absolutely incredible.

My story this morning about the ultimate baseball paradox: The Rays have the best record in baseball—yet they still can’t figure out their stadium situation.

Since 2008, only the Yankees and Dodgers have more wins than the Rays. Wild.

@SmartOne8927 I mean, basically same, and I've been a professional baseball writer since for 13 years!

[Jared Diamond @jareddiamond]

I picked a great day to write about the incredible Ildemaro Vargas. He's 4 for 4 tonight and is up to .350 on the season. Amazing for a 34-year-old now in his 19th pro season.

On Ildemaro Vargas, the 34-year-old journeyman in his 19th professional season who has emerged as one of baseball's best stories of 2026.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Ildemaro Vargas has spent 19 years as an anonymous utility infielder. This season, out of nowhere, he’s turned into one of the game’s top sluggers. https://t.co/vpubigniT4

@ScottGustin Now what can you do about general previews happening on, say, May 24? (And Soarin' on May 25 while you're at it!)

[Jared Diamond @jareddiamond]

@DrewDisneyDude What strings can you pull for there to be a soft opening on the 25th?!?!
