Rays, Austin Slater Agree To New Minor League Deal
The Rays have agreed to a new minor league contract with outfielder Austin Slater, as first indicated on the team’s transaction log.

Angels Notes: Stadium, Trout, Front Office
A bombshell dropped yesterday, with the news that there’s an agreement in place for Arte Moreno to sell the Angels to Stan Kroenke, with the franchise valued at $4 billion.

Royals Designate Drew Waters For Assignment
Drew Waters’ latest stint with the Royals will last only a day.

New Rays Owner: Stadium Deal Should Lead To Significant Payroll Increase

The Opener: Williams, Peralta, Webb vs. Skenes
The Angels were dispatched by the Yankees on Tuesday, but the loss was a footnote for the organization after Rams owner Stan Kroenke agreed to buy the team from Arte Moreno earlier in the day.
