If there was a Mount Rushmore of ball writers, Ross Newhan would be on it. He was a giant in the biz, a Hall-of-Famer who spent much of his 43-year career covering @MLB for the LA Times. He was a mentor to myself and so many others, a friend to all. Ross died today at 89. RIP💔

Angels prospect OF Anthony Santa Cruz De Oviedo (19) has been added to the Arizona Fall League roster.
Santa Cruz is a left-handed hitter with significant offensive upside and is expected to see action starting Monday.
Anaheim Ducks pick up their first victory against the Philadelphia Flyers in the Cutter Gauthier era, which thanks to Pat Verbeek (Zegras trade) and Daniel Brière (Carlsson offer sheet) is one of the most random modern rivalries in hockey
Final: Colton 48 (8-1, 2-0), Rim of the World 17 (3-6, 1-1) -- Colton earns a playoff berth with the victory
Halftime: Colton 34, Rim of the World 10 -- Koa Regalado contributing on all five Colton touchdowns, threw for 248 yards in the first half
End 1: Colton 20, Rim of the World 3 -- Koa Regalado has 192 all-purpose yards in the first frame, Colton has run nine plays from scrimmage

Roger McQueen's first goal/point erased by tripping penalty, which is what we will forever remember following his lengthy and productive career, obviously

For my old friends at @BaseballAmerica, I compiled the sizes of each team’s scouting staff.
Note that many teams frequently renowned for their technology and analytics (Dodgers, Rays, Brewers) also have some of the largest scouting staffs in MLB.

Brady Tkachuk's return to Ottawa is sports cinema, if someone is willing to play the heel then marketing should embrace the villainy on a national scale and push to all audiences -- Perry, Marchand, Tkachuk, hockey needs villains and this is gold

John Mozeliak said that the Angels will be hiring a full-time GM for the 2027 season. It won't be him.

Mozeliak said the new manager would be hired after the GM.
