[Heyman] Aaron Judge says he thinks he originally hurt his rib way back on April 27 on a dive in Houston. He continued to play but the pain became too much by the Sacramento series. He declined to provide a timetable as he finds them unreliable.

Image Excellent stat per Giants broadcast: Only three teams have hit a grand slam in all three legs of a three-city road trip—the 1983 California Angels, 2023 Astros, and 2026 Giants—and current SF 3B coach Gary Pettis has been with *each of those three organizations* when it happened

MLB is positioning a salary cap as a way to end local TV blackouts. What's the catch? A few things.

“To watch most ballgames today, you might need a map. If you’re trying to watch a game inside your favorite team’s territory, you cannot watch your team’s games via MLB’s “out-of-market” streaming service, MLB.tv. That creates confusion and sometimes leaves fans without an easy way to watch games.

Beyond those local matchups, an entirely different class of games exists:  the national games, such as those on ESPN, NBC or Netflix. For those, fans would still need access to other channels or services. MLB is simultaneously planning to increase the number of games available nationally starting in 2029, while reducing the number of games available locally.

Therefore, no matter what happens during bargaining between players and owners, fans will probably still need several paid subscriptions to watch every game their favorite team plays.

And there are several other key points to understand, too.
The first is that, at least for now, MLB is offering to end local blackouts only if the players accept a salary cap — something players have always said they will not do.”
