Baseball teams are splurging on rookies, offering massive contracts to secure their talents early. The Pittsburgh Pirates, Detroit Tigers, and Seattle Mariners have recently signed young players to nine-year, eight-year, and twenty-year deals respectively. These extensions allow teams to control players for six years before free agency, locking in talent at a discount. Agent Scott Boras explains that this strategy saves teams money in the long run, as seen with his client Juan Soto, who secured a seven hundred sixty-five million deal after passing on one hundred twenty million earlier. In the NBA, Steph Curry led the Warriors to a victory, while the U.S. womens national soccer team lost to Japan, drawing a record crowd.
