Cam Schlittler (NYY) struck out nine and allowed four unearned runs against the Red Sox

one thing I will point out about negotiations is that there are still plenty of MLB players who will never make $1m. some of them are up in the big leagues for a cup of coffee. maybe they're just there for a season. a lot of them end up getting non-baseball jobs. all labor means all labor

Community leaders sound alarm over environmental justice as data centers boom across NC - News from the States www.newsfromthestates.com/article/comm...

Crazy idea but instead of their asinine fight against Mamdani and progressives, those centrist Dems should learn from him. And maybe instead of bitching to the media, they could fight for good policy and get shit done for their constituents too But that requires commitment and whining is easier

The U.S. says Africans’ health data shared under humanitarian aid deals will be aggregated and anonymized, but the State Department’s demands have sparked an outcry in Africa and raised concerns that the data could be misused or exploited.

The public didn’t ask for another slogan. Today’s Monsanto decision shows clearly that MAHA is what we’ve known it to be all long: clever marketing, little substance, and a public worse off than where we started. cc: @whitehouse-47.bsky.social

Genuinely hilarious that this is their response to THEIR OWN PARTY winning two years after they blew it against Trump for the second time. Like idk, I'd stick with what's currently working!!!

These are the exact words she posted: “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”

Some NYC news: Mamdani just won his rent freeze--one of his biggest campaign promises!

This, from MLBPA Executive Director Bruce Meyer, makes a pretty key point. You'd think the league would try to divide the union at this point by making proposals some of the players may actually want. Instead they're offering a tray of shit sandwiches that make players' choices pretty easy.

Matthew Boyd has been activated from the IL to start tonight’s series finale against the Mets. RHP Gavin Hollowell optioned to Triple A.

Cavs agree on two-way contract with UDFA Ernest Udeh Jr. #FantasyBasketball #NBA

Meyer: "they want it because ... it's a form of owner protection plan, because it protects owners who would rather not compete in every way. ... that's what a salary cap system is."

I asked Meyer if MLB's PR strategy is a red herring for the league's actual goals. Meyer: "the fact of the matter is, again, they want it because it increases their profits. they want it because it increase their franchise values, neither of which get shared in the cap system." (cont'd)

The Texas Rangers have activated Corey Seager from the IL.

I love that the owners are proposing the end of a thing in deferred money that they, specifically, came up with in order to save some money and game the luxury tax that they themselves demanded and obtained. Every owner proposal is "please save us from the things that were our idea!"

Mets are expected to place Marcus Semien on the injured list this afternoon, according to @chelseajanes.bsky.social on Twitter.

there was no score bug on the Mariners/Pirates broadcast for a while and it really bugged me.

The Athletics have recalled Alika Williams.

The Athletics have placed Zack Gelof on the 10-day IL.

The more I think about it, the more it feels to me like this is the Hornets not fully believing they were as good as those second-half numbers suggested, and that discretion (taking a step back and having more options rather than hitting the gas) was the better part of valor.

Charania: Hornets trading LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to Wolves for Naz Reid, first-round pick, three first-round swaps and three second-rounders #FantasyBasketball #NBA

I think what is so frustrating about these Alito decisions is that in addition to being racist, they're all the legal equivalent of writing "because I said so" in crayon on the walls

Expanding the Supreme Court is the moderate position.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to end legal protections for migrants fleeing violence and natural disaster in Haiti and Syria.

Nneka Ogwumike ran uncontested (unsurprisingly) as president.

The players once again showing that they have no real concerns about potential conflicts of interest with other leagues. First player to sign up with Project B remains President, and one of the founders of Unrivaled moves up to VP. #WNBA

I'm really going to miss Naz Reid. Few players in Wolves history have been more fun to watch and easier to root for. He's a developmental success story, but waiting this long for a chance to start only to be traded days after seemingly getting it is a bummer ending. Two words.

BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.
