PHILADELPHIA Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred, in a wide-ranging press conference with the Baseball Writers Association of America on Tuesday, continued to push his case for a salary cap, framing the league's collective bargaining proposal as a fan-driven fix for competitive imbalance. As Manfred spoke about ongoing negotiations with the players' union before the Collective Bargaining Agreement expires on Dec. 1, he said: "I have an ownership group that is more united than any group in my entire time in baseball." MLBPA interim executive director Bruce Meyer, who spoke with the BBWAA before Manfred on Tuesday, came out strongly against some of the leagues tactics in trying to gain public support for a salary cap, including advertisements on MLB.TV. "Our game is in a great place," Meyer said. "I have watched over the last few years the owners, the commissioners office, try to convince fans, the consumers of their product, that their product is broken. "I think its perverse." Asked directly about the state of CBA talks, Manfred struck an upbeat tone. "Look, I am an optimist," Manfred said. "With respect to collective bargaining, I truly believe that if people engage in the process, that you find ways through things. I think that its important to point out that what we put forward is a system that has been beneficial in all the other major professional sports. It has resulted in player earnings that are higher, growing faster, than the ones in Major League Baseball." Manfred pointed to a recent NHL agreement that added roughly $170 million in player compensation as evidence that a salary cap would benefit the MLBPA. Manfred also noted that MLB has already made concessions toward union priorities, including agreeing to streamline paths to free agency, and argued that the league's overall proposal is built to address the MLBPA's core issues rather than dismiss them. "I think the proposal that we have made has put us in a position to address all the major issues that the MLBPA brought to the table in their initial proposals," Manfred said. The heart of Manfred's press conference centered on how the league is constantly "listening to the fans." Its a strategy that the MLBPA has so far struggled to replicate, in that the union has yet to explain how its demands benefit the fans. Asked how, exactly, MLB is gathering fan opinion, Manfred said the leagues process is "very sophisticated." It involves relying on professional pollsters and focus groups based on age and demographics, including small- and big-market cities. Manfred reiterated that fans are most concerned about payroll disparity and how that impacts the ability to retain star players or sign expensive free agents at the top of their class. The commissioner cited a payroll gap of more than $400 million between baseball's highest and lowest spending teams, arguing that the disparity erodes what he called "hope" among fans in smaller markets before a season even begins. "The number from top to bottom in our sport in terms of payroll, the gap is $441 million," Manfred said. "It defies human experience to ask a fan to think the bottom end of that gap gets the same opportunity to win as the top end. There is no question that everybody in any sport is not going to win once every 3032 years, depending on how many teams you have. "But the data in our sport is stark. Your opportunity to make the playoffs if you are a larger-market team is dramatically higher. And your opportunity to proceed to the subsequent rounds, that advantage grows with each round." Meyer argued that if the league is going to make claims about enormous payroll gaps, then club owners must open their books and make their finances available to the public. He said that request has been part of the MLBPAs proposals. He also pushed back on comparisons to leagues like the NBA and NFL, where a handful of teams tend to dominate despite salary caps. Meyer noted that NBA and NFL players are still getting squeezed out of more earnings even after agreeing to salary caps. Two outcomes, Manfred said, would define a healthier system. Small-market fans should have real confidence that homegrown, developed players can be retained through free agency. And there should be a "more robust free-agent market," so players uninterested in signing with large markets like New York or Los Angeles still have access to competitive contract offers elsewhere. Pressed on why the league doesn't simply address the payroll gap by redistributing more revenue among owners, Manfred said revenue sharing alone can't solve the problem. He pointed to the growing disparity in ownership groups' personal wealth as a structural issue that revenue sharing can't fully offset. No sport, he added, has solved competitive-balance problems purely through the mechanics of revenue distribution.

Washington Wizards rookie AJ Dybantsas time in the NBA summer league has come to an end.Wizards associate head coach T.J. Sorrentine told The Athletic on Tuesday that the team is shutting down Dybantsa after two summer league games. Second-years Will Riley and Tre Johnson will also be done for the summer, per The Athletic.Dybantsa was selected by Washington with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft after a one-and-done season at BYU. He then made his way into the NBA with two flashy appearances in Las Vegas: The rookie forward scored 27 points in his summer league debut, and added 23 in his second game.In total, Dybantsa averaged 25 points, seven rebounds and two assists across the two games.A runner for 23 points.A lay off glass for a game-high 25 points.#1 pick AJ Dybantsa is COOKING for the @WashWizards in his NBA Summer League debut on ESPN pic.twitter.com/YoCBwbC8Mq NBA (@NBA) July 10, 2026Though just a glimpse of the kind of talent the forward can bring to the Wizards, Dybantsas performance was one of the highlights of the early days of summer league.Its pretty typical for the leagues top players to play just a few summer games before being shut down. Last years No. 1 pick, Cooper Flagg, also played just two games for the Dallas Mavericks before leaving Vegas.

In a World Cup semifinal like this, there's so much to unpack. I have already written about the historical, emotional and psychological aspects of Englands World Cup matchup against Argentina, so I want to dive into the tactical elements of this highly anticipated semifinal too. On paper, and based on what I have seen from both sides at this tournament thus far, the similarities are possibly stronger than the differences. And even though I think the journey for the Three Lions has been tougher (arguably a tougher group, a hostile, altitude-defying win against Mexico right before facing the heat and humidity of Miami amidst Erling Haalands Norway) the fact is that very little separates both of these sides. They are two giants of the game who have shown examples of their genius and their vulnerable state. Theres also the overall record as England dominates in this area, having only lost twice from its 14 fixtures against Argentina. But one of those losses was in the dramatic match in 1986 to Diego Maradonas "Hand of God" and his "Goal of the Century." Then there was the 1998 result which was David Beckhams sending-off after kicking Diego Simeone that ended as a draw after extra time, but resulted in an England loss after a penalty shootout. The fact is that this one is hard to predict. Its a contradiction due to a sense of familiarity due to the rivalry, but there's also detachment because they have not faced each other at the World Cup in 24 years. Lets also remember that England has never faced Lionel Messi and thats a statistic that lives within itself. To stop him is to gamble on your own fate, so I am not even attempting to tell you how Thomas Tuchel plans on doing the almost impossible, especially when England has never even attempted to do it. In terms of parallels, lets focus on the individual side of things and the World Cup superstars as there is a high dependency on them. Both have high-octane, attacking options that contribute significantly higher than anyone else. For England, Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane have six goals each, making it the first time in mens World Cup history that any team has had two players net six or more goals in the same tournament. England has scored 13 goals in total, 12 of them from the aforementioned Kane and Bellingham, so the reliance on either is monumental. But the same can be said of Argentina and Lionel Messi. La Albiceleste has 17 goals in the competition, more than any other team and one short of its record of 18, which was achieved back in 1930. But eight of these aforementioned 17 goals have come from Messi. Alongside Kylian Mbapp, Messi became the second player on record (since 1966) to earn 10 or more goal contributions in more than one World Cup. But I think ultimately, this match is decided in two areas: the midfield and on the flanks. Declan Rice and Eliot Andersons battle with the line of Leandro Paredes and Enzo Fernndez will test out the stealth and momentum from the center, where much of the action will take place. And out wide? Argentina is a very narrow team and winger Anthony Gordon, who attempted more dribbles (10) against Norway than any other English player since Darius Vassell in 2002 (per Opta), could have another strong day against right-back Nahuel Molina. More so on the other side whether its Noni Madueke or his Arsenal teammate Bukayo Saka against the 33-year-old left-back Nicols Tagliafico. Lionel Scaloni surely has to find room for defensive midfielder Nico Gonzlez. England should have most of the possession, and I think its important for Argentina to use it wisely when it does have the ball. Argentina keeper Emiliano Martnez, excellent with direct, long passes, will be needed once again to find the likes of attacking stars like Julin Alvarez, Messi, Thiago Almada and Lautaro Martnez. But all in all, we know that this is a game that will far supersede tactics or analytical thinking. This is a match made of emotion and steel-minded determination. There will be situations where the actual gameplan can determine a conclusion and I think, overall, on paper, England has enough to win this one. This isnt a match written on paper. Its carved out on the pitch from blood, sweat and undying effort. From the moment the first whistle goes, therefore, we can throw everything out of the window and just marvel at a true battle where we wont know the outcome until we find out the answer to the only true, remaining question: who is willing to sacrifice everything for a chance of glory? Well have to wait and see.
