One of the most disappointing endings to an MLB season ever?😬
A franchise that committed over $1.8 billion to just five players:
Ohtani: $700M
Betts: $365M
Yamamoto: $325M
Tucker: $240M
Snell: $182M
2026 adjusted payroll: $339M
Deferred salary commitments: $1.1 billion
And after all that, they get SWEPT in the NLCS by a Milwaukee Brewers team with a $146M payroll 🧹
Not adding a team to Seattle is hella dumb, Adam silver man what have you done with the NBA? First the play-in tournament, the Cup and now potentially this?
Seattle is no longer considered a lock for an NBA expansion team, Adam Silver has informed team owners, per @WindhorstESPN.
The league is reportedly using Mexico City as a potential alternative to pressure Seattle’s bidding group into raising its offer.

President Donald Trump has fired Katie Zacharia as press secretary, advisers to the president said, ending her turbulent week-long stint as the White House’s top spokesperson. https://t.co/PEd92ttNEY
There is complete conviction Shohei Ohtani has found something with his mechanics and that he will be a positive for the Dodgers, per Dave Roberts.
Roberts says he’s excited to see Ohtani play tomorrow.
NEW: Trump reportedly considering firing Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth after the midterms in an effort to take the blame of the unpopular Iran war off of himself and onto Hegseth in order to “protect his legacy” and “reputation as an anti-war president.”
