Even teams with losing records still have reason to believe. The Mariners are 48-49, yet they would get the final playoff spot in the embarrassing American League if the season ended today. Meanwhile, the Red Sox and Tigers, once left for dead, are suddenly making noise and among the six AL teams within four games of a wild-card spot. For a number of teams on the bubble, tough decisions loom as the Aug. 3 trade deadline approaches. Even the winning teams that are ahead of schedule including the Marlins, Cardinals and first-place White Sox have to figure out how much to push their chips and leverage their futures in order to capitalize on their surprising starts. But let's pause for a second. All of that can wait for a moment. For now, take a deep breath, recalibrate, enjoy a few days of festivities in Philadelphia and take a look back at every teams first-half recap in this weeks All-Star break edition of MLB Power Rankings. A bounce-back season from All-Star Mike Trout could not save general manager Perry Minasian or an Angels team that is moving quickly toward a 12th straight season without playoff baseball. The question now: Will owner Arte Moreno actually let interim general manager John Mozeliak blow this thing up at the deadline? Well find out soon. Given the problems this year in Queens, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, San Francisco, etc., it almost feels like the Royals have gotten a bit of a pass. They shouldnt. This was a team many expected to contend for a playoff spot, yet Kansas City enters the break tied for the fewest wins in baseball, even with Bobby Witt Jr. playing at an MVP level and Jac Caglianone taking a major leap forward in year two. Sure, this is still one of the worst teams in MLB, but the Rockies are just four wins shy of their total from last season. They've shown vast improvement under new president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta and general manager Josh Byrnes. It will be interesting to see just how far they go in their sell-off at the deadline as they try to revamp the farm system. Juan Soto is still Juan Soto. Thats about the only thing that has gone to plan for president of baseball operations David Stearns, whose offseason shake-ups after last seasons disappointment instead yielded a much worse version of the club. The Mets are trending toward their first last-place finish since 2003. Well, that went south quickly. The As were 38-38 on June 19, just a half game back in the AL West. They enter the break 41-55 after losing nine straight and 17 of their last 20 games. Brent Rooker is out for the year with a cartilage tear in his left knee, Nick Kurtz, Zack Gelof, Luis Severino and Denzel Clarke are all hurt, and suddenly a potentially interesting contender now has the worst run differential in MLB. Yikes. On and off the field, this has been a catastrophe. A team many expected to contend for a playoff spot instead looks closer to being the worst team in Major League Baseball and thats despite a resurgent year from All-Star Luis Arraez and breakout seasons from Jung Hoo Lee and Casey Schmitt. At least president of baseball operations Buster Posey has some intriguing pieces to sell at the deadline. No one should be off limits when he presses the eject button on this disastrous season. After making the playoffs last season for the first time in five years, the Reds have failed to build on that triumph. They started to plummet in June after losing star shortstop Elly De La Cruz to injury, and they havent pulled themselves out of their nosedive since his return to action. Neither the offense nor the bullpen are good enough to contend. Theyre now 15.5 games back in the NL Central and eight games back of a wild-card spot. All eyes are on the employers of Tarik Skubal as the deadline approaches. After a brutal start to the season, the Tigers have the best record in the American League since the start of June. FanGraphs now gives them a 28.1% chance to make the playoffs. Is that high enough for the Tigers to play this out? Or will they try to get something in return for the back-to-back Cy Young Award winner while they have the chance? Franchise-altering decisions loom. We knew this team would have to hit its way to the top. Slugging first baseman Pete Alonso is doing his part in his first season in Baltimore he has 21 homers and 65 RBIs but as a team, the Orioles just havent produced enough offensively to make up for their pitching deficiencies. This isnt a group that can rank 14th in slugging and OPS and expect much better than what it has done so far. Were more than halfway through the season, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has six home runs. Overall, the regression of Torontos offense the Blue Jays ranked first in on-base percentage and third in OPS last year and now rank 27th and 26th, respectively helps explain how the reigning AL champs find themselves in last place in the AL East. Everything started to turn in a better direction in June after the Astros got ace Hunter Brown and closer Josh Hader back and then they went 4-6 to start July. The pitching staff has problems even with those two back, and the outfield will need an upgrade at the deadline, assuming general manager Dana Brown is a buyer. Still, anything feels possible with a healthy Yordan Alvarez, whos playing like an MVP. It took until late June, but the Red Sox have finally woken up. Riding their strong pitching staff, they're 14-2 since June 25 the best record in baseball over that stretch. Given how this year started, its remarkable that theyre now less than a game out of a wild-card spot. Can they keep this going until Roman Anthony and Garrett Crochet return from injuries? Its not shocking that the Twins have one of the worst bullpens in MLB after last seasons sell-off. It is, however, surprising that Minnesota now finds itself just a game under .500 and contending for a playoff spot. If the team still decides to sell, Joe Ryan would be one of the best starting pitchers available. A 2-6 finish to the first half takes some of the wind out of their sails, but the arrow is pointing up in Washington under new president of baseball operations Paul Toboni and manager Blake Butera. The Nationals' offense is tied for the MLB lead in runs scored, but the bullpen is a leaky faucet. Their offense ranks last in MLB in runs, batting average and on-base percentage, and their starting rotation is 27th in ERA. Yet the Padres somehow enter the break a .500 club. It will be fascinating to see how president of baseball operations A.J. Preller chooses to address the team's many needs at the deadline. Coming off their first trip to the ALCS since 2001, the Mariners were supposed to be one of the best teams in baseball this year. Instead, they head into the break with a losing record after dropping five of their last six games to end the first half. It has been a highly disappointing year, and yet theyre only 1.5 games back in the AL West. A healthier second half especially for star catcher Cal Raleigh can still give them the ending they desire. The Diamondbacks offense didnt produce to its potential in the first half, but the team has pitched better than expected an All-Star season from Eduardo Rodriguez has helped and could get a boost down the stretch from injured pitchers Corbin Burnes, Justin Martinez and/or AJ Puk. Maybe a sweep of the Dodgers to end the first half will be the spark this team needs. Well, someone has to be winning this division. The Rangers, courtesy of an 11-5 finish to the first half, have accepted the honor as the only AL West team with a winning record. Theyve survived to this point despite an injured and ineffective Corey Seager hat tips to Ezequiel Duran, Josh Jung and Joc Pederson, who have all picked up the slack but they need to get their star shortstop right if they have visions of a 2023 repeat. Good pitching can cover up a lot of deficiencies. The Guardians rank 29th in OPS, but both their starting rotation and bullpen are top 10 in ERA. Rookies Travis Bazzana, Chase DeLauter and Parker Messick are providing a boost, and they still have a share of first place despite playing without star third baseman Jose Ramrez for the past month. The turnaround is happening faster than anyone could have envisioned. The Jordan Walker breakout is here, they have the NL Rookie of the Year frontrunner in JJ Wetherholt, and Alec Burleson is having one of the best seasons that no ones talking about. The Cardinals need more pitching to be a real threat, though, which makes this a compelling trade deadline for new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom. Dont be fooled by the Pirates fourth-place position in the NL Central. Theyre tied for first in the league in runs scored and have the sixth-best run differential in MLB. They should also enter the break feeling good about themselves after sweeping the Brewers. Its amazing what Brandon Lowe and Ryan OHearn have done for this offense, but theyll need to patch up the bullpen at the deadline. What a weekend to cap a captivating start to the season on the South Side. The White Sox ended their first half by drafting top overall pick Roch Cholowsky and then wrapping up a sweep of the Athletics to head into the break with a share of first place in the AL Central. This is a young team on the rise, and now All-Star Munetaka Murakami is back from injury to help get the White Sox to the playoffs for the first time in five years. Led at the plate by All-Star Otto Lopez, who has the highest batting average and most hits in MLB, and on the mound by All-Star Max Meyer, the Fightin Fish are one of the biggest stories of the first half. Their offense ranks sixth in MLB in OPS, and 23-year-old righthander Eury Prez has looked like an entirely different force since coming off the injured list. Theyre in third place in the NL East but would be a wild-card team if the season ended today. The Yankees were 36-23 at the end of May when they lost Aaron Judge to a stress fracture in his ribs; they have a losing record since then and only recently broke out of a 4-14 funk. They'll go into the break with some momentum after sweeping the Nationals over the weekend, but they need their captain back soon. There have already been three acts to the Cubs season: They started hot at 27-12, stopped hitting for a month while losing 22 of their next 29 games, then broke out again winning 20 of their final 28 games heading into the break. If it werent for Shohei Ohtani, Pete Crow-Armstrong would be a leading MVP candidate. Their pitching injury situation is dire, though, and they could use a lot of help at the deadline to address both their starting rotation and bullpen. Doesnt 9-19 seem like a distant memory now? Since firing Rob Thomson, the Phillies have gone 45-24 under interim manager Don Mattingly. The re-signing of DH Kyle Schwarber is one of the most important moves any team made over the winter, and a rotation led by Cristopher Snchez, Zack Wheeler and Jess Luzardo is racking up strikeouts and thriving. The Braves double-digit lead in the NL East is already down to just two games, which can be attributed to both the Phillies rise and their own plunge. The Braves lost 19 of their last 29 games of the first half after looking like the best team in baseball to start the year. Their starting rotation, which held up well early on despite some notable absences, has regressed considerably over the past month. Injuries to Ronald Acua Jr., Spencer Strider and Robert Suarez havent helped. Still, theyre in a much better place than they were a season ago. Many expected this to be a transition year in Tampa Bay (raises hand); instead, the Rays enter the break as the best team in the American League. They have two All-Star starting pitchers in Drew Rasmussen and Nick Martinez, two more starters with sub-3.50 ERAs in Shane McClanahan and converted reliever Griffin Jax, an All-Star closer in Bryan Baker, one of the games rising superstars in Junior Caminero and a player who would win the AL batting crown if the season ended today in Yandy Diaz. The Brewers limp into the break after getting swept by the Pirates over the weekend, but they still have a comfortable five-game lead in the NL Central after yet again exceeding expectations. Jacob Misiorowski is the most overpowering starter in baseball. Kyle Harrison is the latest success story in the rotation. Brice Turang should have been the NL's starting second baseman (though somehow neither he nor Harrison made the All-Star team). Now its time for Milwaukee's front office to go all-in at the deadline to give the Brewers the difference-making additions they will need in October. It took until the last series of the first half, but the Dodgers were finally swept. Not a great way to go into the break, but they still have the best record in baseball. To be in this position with as many players as theyve had either underperforming or injured for much of the season they have to feel good about their chances of three-peating.

SportsLine golf expert David Bearman just locked in his predictions for the 2026 Open Championship at Royal Birkdale Golf Club in Southport, England

Welcome back! It takes some big news to distract from a sports weekend as killer as this one, but a $9.6 billion team sale just about did it.In todays edition: Khosla captures the Seahawks, Sinner climbs the money list, UFC breaks records while McGregor breaks down, soccer streams along, the biggest trade in sports history, and more. Dont let your friends and colleagues miss all of this. Tell them to subscribe!Time to show you the money... SEAHAWKS SOLDSEA-ING GREEN IN THE EMERALD CITY(Yahoo Sports)Saturday night, as England and Norway battled for a spot in the World Cup semifinal, Americas more familiar football once again demonstrated its unparalleled financial might. A group led by Vinod Khosla reached a $9.612 billion agreement to purchase the Seattle Seahawks, establishing a new record sale for an NFL control transaction.The timeline: The agreement brings a near-conclusion to a process that formally began on February 18, though the road to the record price was winding.Rumors of a potential sale, initially disputed by the Allen Estate, first began in the build-up to the Super Bowl, with the Seahawks placed in the shop window during Americas greatest spectacle. At the time, projections suggested a sale price of $9-11 billion was attainable.In early May, Sportico reported that two groups had joined the bidding, one led by Aditya Mittal and Wyc Grousbeck, the other led by Khosla.Despite the Super Bowl victory and the emergence of qualified bidders, ESPN reported days later that the market for the Seahawks was soft, with the team expected to sell for $9 billion.The field narrowed to the two aforementioned groups last week, with Khosla ultimately emerging victorious on Saturday at the $9.6 billion price, which fell short of the loftiest double-digit aspirations, but landed squarely in line with initial expectations.The outgoing owners: Late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen bought the Seahawks in 1997 for $194 million. With the record sale, the franchise has appreciated by over 14% per annum. Upon Allens 2018 passing, the team was placed in his estate and chaired by his sister, Jody. Allen specified that the sports teams should be sold, with proceeds donated to charity.NFL rules mandate that an individual not an estate or trust serve as the controlling owner of a team. While the Seahawks were permitted to operate in noncompliance with that rule to unwind a very complex estate, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year that it became a source of league pressure.The Estate also had to wait out a provision attached to public funding for Lumen Field that would see the state of Washington receive 10% of any sale if the franchise was sold before that clause expired in 2024.The incoming owners: Vinod Khosla, who led the winning group, founded Sun Microsystems and Khosla Ventures, which counts OpenAI and DoorDash among its successful investments. Last year, Khosla purchased a reported 3.1% stake in the 49ers at an $8.5 billion valuation, a position he must now divest. Neeru Khosla, Vinod Khoslas wife, will reportedly serve as the controlling owner of the Seahawks.That escalated quickly: The prior record for an NFL team sale was set in 2023, when the Commanders were sold to a group led by Josh Harris for $6.05 billion. The Seahawks price represents a 59% increase, achieved in just three years.It took nine years for the most expensive NFL team sale to double from $1.1 billion (Dolphins) to $2.3 billion (Panthers). It took four years for it to double again to $4.65 billion (Broncos). Now, just four years after that, it has doubled once more.The massive leap in valuation is not a shocking overnight phenomenon. Rather, its a reflection of the relative infrequency of control sales. With only 32 teams, sales are rare, as few owners are itching to fully exit a business producing the valuation surges seen above.Minority stake sales in NFL franchises have become vastly more prevalent as individuals and institutions alike seek access to the asset class and majority owners seek liquidity. These transactions leave a trail of breadcrumbs, indicating approximations of control-sale valuations. In just the last year, the Raiders, Giants, Bears, and Patriots have sold stakes at reported valuations between $8 billion and $11 billion.Looking ahead: Circumstances will inevitably thrust another NFL team into the marketplace at some juncture, but the availability of minority investment will only reduce the need for most to pursue that option. Meanwhile, Seattle awaits its next major sports ownership event, as an NBA expansion franchise remains up for bidding, albeit with quieter interest than its Las Vegas counterpart.*The Dolphins sold a 1% stake at a $12.5 billion valuation, but that sale included other portfolio assets: the Miami Open, the F1 Miami Grand Prix, and Hard Rock Stadium. The Browns also recently sold a minority stake, but financial details were not clear. BANK SHOTSMONEY ON THE FIELD(Henry Nicholls/AFP via Getty Images)London, England Jannik Sinner defeated Alexander Zverev in four sets to claim his second Wimbledon title and fifth Grand Slam.Movin on up: The record 3.6 million ($4.8 million) prize propelled Sinner past both Carlos Alcaraz and Sundays foe, Zverev, on the all-time ATP money list. With $69.6 million in career earnings, 24-year-old Sinner is a little more than halfway to No. 3 on the list, where a legend* sits at $130.6 million. No problem, Jannik: Just take everything youve accomplished to date, and do it all again.*Play todays trivia to find out which one.(Ian Maule/Getty Images)Las Vegas, Nevada Conor McGregor bowed out of his UFC 329 bout against Max Holloway after just 69 seconds, having catastrophically injured his knee in the opening exchange.Boom and bust: The anticlimactic showing didnt dampen the nights business for UFC. According to Dana White, the company banked the biggest live gate in its history. However, achieving a similar result for a future McGregor fight if there is one would require fans to suspend their disbelief that it could deliver action worthy of the premium prices. Still, though the fight was a bust, its easier for fans to stomach on an $8.99 Paramount+ subscription than it is at pay-per-view prices.(Justin Edmonds/NWSL via Getty Images)Commerce City, Colorado Michelle Cooper scored a brace in a July 3 Kansas City Current win over Denver Summit FC, pointing to her cleats in celebration.No Balance: The NWSL fined Cooper $500 for failing to cover the logo on those New Balance cleats, after the league instituted an updated footwear exposure agreement policy in June. Nike is an official partner of the NWSL, and Adidas and Puma have signed agreements with the league. New Balance, however, has not. Jack Rasmussen, founder of cleat brand Caddix, told The Athletic that the policy requires the brand to pay the NWSL $100,000, in addition to $5,000 paid to each contracted player. WATCHALONGSOCCER'S NEED FOR SPEED(Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)The World Cups unprecedented viewership has been well documented. But heres a stat you might not have heard before: Last Tuesday, more than 650,000 people on YouTube were concurrently watching someone watch the miraculous Argentina comeback against Egypt.What happened: At the beginning of the tournament, YouTuber IShowSpeed (who boasts 57.6 million subscribers on the platform) announced a partnership with FOX, FIFA, and YouTube, allowing the streamer to go live from inside stadiums alongside live match footage from select games.The streams appear on the Fox One streaming service and the Fox One Prime YouTube channel, where the game footage is featured.Americans can watch along on Speeds personal YouTube channel as well, though the game footage is not included there.Whos tuning in: Last Monday, Speed who notoriously idolizes Cristiano Ronaldo streamed live from the Spain-Portugal match. Within 24 hours, more than 18 million people had tuned in on YouTube to witness his devastation at the Portuguese icons exit. The same intrigue led them to the Argentina-Egypt stream, where the audience savored his disbelief of Messi (his de facto rival) and Argentinas comeback.The Argentina-Egypt stream has over 21 million views. WhileYouTube view totals differ dramatically from Nielsen-measured average audiences (YouTube is vastly more accommodative), its hard to dismiss the scale of the accomplishment.Speeds 21 IRL streams at World Cup games (not all of them with Fox) have averaged over 7.5 million views. Since he began his first World Cup stream at the United States opener against Paraguay, he has added 2.7 million subscribers. Not Vozinha-level growth, but impressive from an already very high floor.Why it matters: The viewer interest demonstrates how younger generations consume content and live sports. In many cases, the action itself is not the anchor, but rather the personalities reacting to it. Building and nurturing new generations of fans requires meeting them where they consume content. In other words, future partnerships are highly likely, particularly as traditional media companies infiltrate growing discovery platforms.Trickle to a stream: The World Cup efforts are only the most recent wave of a growing swell driving the sport into popular livestreams worldwide. YouTube has become a credible destination for live soccer.Last summer, the Bundesliga granted live U.K. broadcasting rights to 20 Friday night matches to YouTube channels The Overlap and Thats Football as part of a strategy to lure younger viewers.In August 2025, French streamer Zack Nani acquired the rights to broadcast three matches per week from the Saudi Pro League.CasTV, a Brazilian YouTube channel with 39 million subscribers, has the rights to distribute all 104 World Cup matches to the country for free.American import? The major American leagues arent short of national media dollars, but growth is not guaranteed, and younger audiences will only grow in importance. Creativity in broadcasting partnerships is likely to become a focus for both established and emerging properties. Look no further than the gridiron, where IShowSpeed streamed last seasons YouTube-exclusive NFL game in Brazil.Up next: Speed is set to stream with Fox from both of this weeks semifinals, as well as Sundays final. ICYMILIGHTNING ROUND(Joshua Gateley/Getty Images)Wemby takes hometown discount: Victor Wembanyama signed a five-year, $252 million extension with the Spurs on Friday. While the deal pays the 25% maximum of the salary cap, it does not include escalators to 30% that would become active if he were named Defensive Player of the Year, MVP, or All-NBA next season. Wembanyamas concession has raised criticism of the CBA and its restrictive second apron.FIFA eyeing 64-team World Cup: In a recent interview, FIFA President Gianni Infantino made the case for World Cup expansion, after this years successful 48-team debut. South Americas CONMEBOL, set to host three games in 2030, had previously advocated for expansion, which could see those countries land more games. While a larger tournament would generate more revenue, it could dilute the overall product and devalue the qualification process across federations.EA succumbs to gamer outcry: Bending to the severe backlash from the College Football 27 and broader gaming communities, EA has announced that it will remove paid progression options (microtransactions) from the games Dynasty and Road to Glory modes. The episode demonstrates that fans who feel their wallets have been excessively squeezed do retain the power to affect change.PSG & Nike extend relationship: According to Lquipe, Paris Saint-Germain and Nike are close to a five-year contract extension that would keep the repeat Champions League winners in Swooshes and Jumpmen until 2037. The report notes that PSGs annual compensation will rise from 60 million ($69 million) to 100 million ($114 million). The club generated $420 million in commercial revenue in the 2024-25 season, among the highest results in Europe despite playing in a weaker Ligue 1.See what else is trending on theYahoo Sports Business Hub. TEAM TRADETHIS DAY IN HISTORY: SEISMIC SWAPRobert Irsay (right) confers with NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle. (Bill Haber/AP Photo)If one sports owner had been willing to pay capital gains taxes, the course of sports history could have been forever altered. Peyton Manning might have won a Super Bowl in blue and gold. The Ravens might not have existed. The Colts 2014 AFC Finalist banner may never have hung from the rafters of Lucas Oil Stadium, which, in turn, may never have been built.But that owner did not want to pay capital gains taxes.On this day in 1972: Robert Irsay and Carroll Rosenbloom executed the biggest trade in sports history, with Irsay acquiring and swapping the Los Angeles Rams to Rosenbloom for the Baltimore Colts. Irsay paid $19 million for the Rams, the highest price in sports history at the time. The deal was structured as a cashless trade so that Rosenbloom, who wanted the Rams, wouldnt have to sell the Colts and incur an estimated $4.4 million in capital gains taxes in the process.On the move: When Irsay acquired the Colts, he promised they would remain in Baltimore and that they would work with the city on a new stadium. The team left Baltimore in the dead of night 12 years later. The Rams left for St. Louis in 1995, before returning to Los Angeles in 2016.Fleeced!: It seems absurd that an LA-based franchise would be valued the same as one in Baltimore to allow for a no-cash, straight swap* of franchises. That would make Irsay the deals presumptive loser, but in reality, there were no losers in this deal:After Rosenblooms passing, his wife, Georgia Frontiere, sold 30% of the franchise to Stan Kroenke in step with the move to St. Louis. When she passed, her heirs sold their remaining 60% stake to Kroenke for $450 million, or a $750 million valuation. Thats a strong outcome, considering Rosenbloom paid only $1.2 million for his Colts stake, butThe Colts remain in the Irsay family, in the third generation of ownership, and theyre valued by Sportico at $5.7 billion. The Rams, back in Los Angeles and playing at state-of-the-art SoFi Field, are worth $10.4 billion.Bottom line: Luka Doncic, Mookie Betts, even Babe Ruth all big trades. But none were as big as a swap of what would become two of the most valuable franchises in all of sports. It also demonstrates that simply joining the exclusive NFL club, no matter the location and no matter the record price, was an unfailingly shrewd business decision. We suspect that lesson might resonate kindly with the Khosla family today.*Irsay did receive $1.8 million in indemnity fees still due to the Colts after the NFL moved them to the AFC. DODGER GREENNOTABLE QUOTABLES: 4,000 HATS A NIGHT(Sports Business Radio)Sports Business Radio, part of the Yahoo Sports Business Hub, is the longest-running podcast in sports business, with an A-list guest roster that spans team owners, commissioners, executives, athletes, and more.This week, Sports Business Radios Brian Berger hosted Dodgers President and CEO Stan Kasten to discuss all things Dodgers and MLB business, from Shohei Ohtanis starpower, to local media rights and competitive balance. The entire conversation was a fascinating view into one of the hottest businesses in sports, but these highlights were particularly striking.On the Dodgers merchandising might: The Dodgers boast unparalleled star power, and while those stars can drive jersey sales, the tried and true Dodger hat continues to generate jaw-dropping sales*.Everyone in Los Angeles has a Dodger hat, right? I mean, everyone. If you go to the game, you have a Dodger hat. You bring it with you, right? And yet, we still sell Dodgers hats every night. How many? 4,000 Dodger hats every night. That's the average over the course of a season. That's impossible.On the surprising impact of Shohei Ohtani: Kasten shares insight on the myth of star players driving incremental revenue and how Ohtani transforms that myth into reality.I tell people that whenever we talked about signing a top-level free agent, the marketing people will say, Oh, this guy will be great. Hell add $5 or $10 million to our business. Thats crap. Its never true. Theyre always overestimating that. Thats not how that works, because baseball isnt a sport where one guy moves the needle, with very, very few exceptions. And Shohei is that exception. They wildly underestimated his impact, and so did I.On MLBs competitive balance: Speaking about the leagues financial structure, which goes hand in hand with ongoing labor negotiations, Kasten explained that whether the league has a competitive balance problem or not, there is a problem with the perception of competitiveness (or lack thereof).We have said that we think the game could use more competitiveness. We think there are 10 or 15 teams whose fans tell us at the start of the year that their team has no chance. I dont know if thats true or not. I do know our fans and customers perceptions are that, and thats our problem. We need to fix that. I think we can, and I think we can do better in a way that produces more revenue, which again will be good for players, and I hope we achieve that kind of outcome.*Quick math: 4,000 hats! The Dodgers play 81 home games a year, so thats a grand total of 324,000 hats per regular season. New Era Dodgers hats tend to sell for between $35 and $55. Even if you were to take the conservative end of that range and assume the average sale price is $40, youre talking about nearly $13 million in revenue. For hats! That seems to be evidence of the strength of Dodger Stadiums tourist pull, particularly with Ohtani in the fold LET'S PLAYRANK 'EM: THE BIG THREE'S BIG MONEY(Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)After Jannik Sinners Wimbledon triumph, only three players sit ahead of him on the career ATP prize money list.Question: We suspect you know the three gentlemen ahead of Sinner, but can you rank them in order based on their earnings?Answer at the bottom WORLD CUP BUMPAND AFTER ALL...
