The departure of Karren Brady has been celebrated by West Ham fans, who remain determined to push for David Sullivan's exit from the club's management. Despite Brady's exit, Sullivan's position appears secure for now, as he plans to acquire shares from the Gold family, maintaining a semblance of control over the club's operations.
Although sources close to Davis say he has no intention to sell his majority stake, the vote would mean that if and when Davis, or his heirs, did decide to sell, Durban, a limited partner, would have the option to buy the club. Owners would then have to approve Durban as the new controlling owner, per league rules.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have agreed to a deal with fashion giant Uniqlo to become Dodger Stadium's official field presenting partner, multiple sources tell The Athletic.

Their signings included Kyle Tucker, the best hitter on the market, to a four-year, $240 million contract.

I don't think that should be the focus. I think the focus should be winning baseball games against every team. I don't think focusing on the Dodgers is going to help us win at all. I think when you focus on a certain team, when you get to play that team, you're going to tense up and you're not gonna be the same team.
