After three exhibition games, Kentucky’s optimal starting five for the 2026-27 season emerges: point guard Mason Williams (8 pts, <1 turnover), shooting guard Alex Wilkins (+32 plus‑minus), small forward Milan Momcilovic (took over OT vs. UCF), power forward Ousmane N’Diaye (defensive versatility, 31% shooting), and center Malachi Moreno (near triple‑double against UCF). The article argues Williams should replace Zoom Diallo, Wilkins needs to curb turnovers, and N’Diaye wins the PF battle over Justin McBride for now.

MLB sets the 2026 Super Two cutoff at 2.133 years of service, allowing the top 22% of players with 2‑3 years of service to enter arbitration a year early. The threshold shifts each season; recent cutoffs ranged from 2.115 to 2.146. This year, Boston reliever Tyron Guerrero and Colorado outfielder Jordan Beck each finish with exactly 2.133 years, projecting salaries of $1.1 million and $1.2 million respectively, pending contracts. Their eligibility could net them several hundred thousand dollars above the league minimum, a boon for Guerrero, a 35‑year‑old journeyman who returned to the majors with the Red Sox in May.

Game 3 of the Brewers‑Rays World Series set a new low for viewership, averaging 8.3 million on FOX and Fox Deportes—potentially the second‑least‑watched World Series game ever, just behind the 2023 Rangers‑Diamondbacks matchup. The blowout 10‑0 lead for Milwaukee contributed to the dip, which was amplified by competition from a high‑profile NFL Cowboys‑Eagles game and the WNBA Finals. Earlier games drew 12.26 million and 10.85 million viewers, while Game 4 rebounded to an estimated 13.5 million, suggesting the slump may be an outlier in an otherwise solid series.
