Wow. If the NBA eventually approves expansion to Seattle and Vegas and the teams start in '28-29, the Clippers and Ballmer won't have first round picks in each of the first five years of those franchises.

[Mike Vorkunov @MikeVorkunov]

The NBA has come down hard on Steve Ballmer. He has been suspended one year

It said he "knowingly seeking to help Mr. Leonard obtain off-court income opportunities." NBA said Ballmer approved a deal with Aspiration because he knew it was a precondition for the company to go into a sponsorship deal with Leonard.

Mariners with 2 or more hits in their major league debut. Can add Lazaro Montes to the list - and he's the only one with a HR:

[Adam Jude @A_Jude]

Mariners 9, Red Sox 1.

Oh my — a laser from Laz Montes way out to center field here at Fenway Park for his first MLB home run.

What a night for the 21-year-old Cuban.

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

Never expected to be watching an M's game and hear @heygoldy and @hyphen18 giving a dissertation on Cars, Cars 2 and Cars 3.

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

Do the Red Sox make him a contract offer for next season before he leaves Boston tomorrow?

[Adam Jude @A_Jude]

Mariners 6, Red Sox 1.

Randy Arozarena, my goodness.

Three-run homer off the Plymouth Rock advertisement well above the Green Monster.

That's 7 RBI in two games here for Arozarena.

@RealBradAdam Not as good as Bernie's slide.

[Seattle Times Sports @SeaTimesSports]

Lazaro Montes, who profiles as one of the most prodigious power-hitting prospects the Mariners have had in recent memory, is set to be promoted to the majors.

Good evening.

The unofficial state of Washington college football rankings will return - whether you like it or not - starting with Week 1.

But congrats to EWU for wi…. Oh, I’m being told Eastern blew a 24-3 lead and lost to No. Arizona.

Well, a shoutout to the Big Sky for a wonderfully chaotic Week 0.

See you all next Sunday.

League spokesman confirms to Seattle Times Arnold will go on commissioner’s exempt list as soon as his contract is filed with the league. https://t.co/er1WkeQjAW

@berniewilsonEC Might want to skip to straight kerosene after that one.

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

Someone check on @berniewilsonEC … he might not be well at the moment

[Ryan Divish @RyanDivish]

Bryce Miller has been moved to a bullpen role.

@PuckSports @JimDuquetteGM @MikeGarafolo The first 10 minutes of the show have never sounded better.

Leonard Williams and his son Zion talking about his contract extension with the Seahawks

[Tim Booth @ByTimBooth]

Derick Hall to Leonard Williams after walkthrough today: “Go sign your contract.”

[Seattle Times Sports @SeaTimesSports]

Cal Raleigh has looked much more like his 2025 self, hammering five homers over the past week. Here's the simple adjustment that could be behind the power surge.

Eugenio Suárez is owed almost $3M and has a 35% K rate this season. Hard to see the Mariners wanting to take away potential at-bats from Michael Arroyo in September ... but is Geno worth it just for the good vibes?
