Major League Baseball proposed postponing the implementation of a salary cap until the 2028 season while still putting into place the other elements of its labor offer for 2027, citing the difficulty of teams navigating free agency amid the current uncertainty.

Yesterday was for the parade. Today is for the stories. Here's the one about the Milwaukee Brewers' rally heaters.
This is one of my favorite episodes we’ve done: Explaining why the 2026 Brewers are as beloved as they are — and how baseball’s first small-market powerhouse can be the foil to the Dodgers that baseball needs. youtube.com/watch?v=kCEi26Lq…
Daniel Vogelbach sang “Stacy’s Mom” the night the Brewers won the World Series, too.
If you want to know more about that and the Brewers’ love of … other vices, I encourage you to take a look at the most fun World Series champion we’ve seen in a while: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/5029…
The Milwaukee Brewers' championship was 57 years in the making -- and it came together in spectacular fashion. Free at ESPN, the inside story of how it happened, from a late July declaration to a bus that everyone boarded to a whole lot of rally heaters. espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/5029…
FINAL: Brewers 4, Rays 1
For the first time, the Milwaukee Brewers are World Series champions. They did it for Milwaukee, they did it for Wisconsin, they did it for Ueck, they did it for themselves. This was 57 years in the making. And it was pure, beautiful, dominant baseball.
Jacob Misiorowski is coming out of Game 5 after 5.2 scoreless innings and 86 pitches. He was cruising, but it looks like he got a cramp. Trainers brought him a drink on the mound. He threw one warm-up pitch, shook his leg and walked off with a slight limp. Brewers still up, 4-0.
The Rays pulled Drew Rasmussen after four innings and 48 pitches. His replacement, Kevin Kelly, has allowed three consecutive singles to the Nos. 7, 8 and 9 hitters, and the Brewers now lead, 2-0.
Game 4 of the World Series made you feel something. And along the way, before the game goes away for while, it gave us more baseball, and that’s something to celebrate. Column, free at ESPN, on the Rays’ new life: espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/5030…
FINAL/12: Rays 4, Brewers 3
Tampa Bay’s season looked like it was over after Cooper Pratt’s 12th-inning home run. Then the Rays fought back and walked off the Brewers with four straight hits. That was a damn good baseball game -- and a great win. The World Series continues.
Game 4 of the World Series is tied again. A Joey Ortiz throwing error and Liam Hicks single put runners on first and third, and Jonny DeLuca mashed a single up the middle to score a run. There are no outs and runners on first and second. The Rays are in position to walk it off.
