MLB players' association head acknowledges federal investigation into OneTeam Partners
ATLANTA (AP) — Baseball players' association head Tony Clark acknowledged a federal investigation into One Team Partners, a licensing company it founded with the NFL Players Association.
'We understand that there is an investigation going on right now and we have and we will continue to fully cooperate with that investigation,' Clark told the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Tuesday.

The government has not commented on its probe.
OneTeam says on its website that it's 'the first multi-billion-dollar company built for athletes, by athletes." It helps license player rights for sponsorships, media content, video games and more.
Clark defended the union's financial transparency with its members.
'An audit's done every year,' he said. 'The players as a group wanted to go through all of it. And so we went through all of it and then that group presented those findings to players at the board meeting.'

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway reports operating earnings drop 4% in Q2
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway on Saturday reported operating earnings for the second quarter fell 3.77% from the same time last year. It's the company's first earnings report since Buffett, 94, announced his plans to step down as chief executive at the end of the year and named Greg Abel, the vice chairman of non-insurance operations of Berkshire, as his successor. Berkshire reported $20.8 billion in operating earnings for the first six months of the year, an 8.8% decrease from the same time last year. Earnings for the second quarter totaled $11.16 billion. Net income in the second quarter fell to roughly $12.37 billion, down 59% from the second quarter last year. The company's insurance underwriting businesses, meanwhile, earned $2.53 billion total before income taxes, led by car insurer Geico, which is one of the largest insurance companies in the United States. Between May and July, the company's cash pile decreased to $344 billion for the first three months of the year. Berkshire was sitting on roughly $347 billion at the company's annual meeting on May 3. The company revealed Saturday that it took a $3.8 billion hit on its stake in packaged food giant Kraft Heinz Co. In 2019, Buffett told CNBC's Becky Quick that he 'was wrong in a couple ways' on the Kraft Heinz deal. The company again warned that President Donald Trump's tariff policies are contributing to an uncertain outlook. Trump's trade war escalated Friday with the new tariff rates announced on various US trading partners to take effect on August 7. 'We are currently unable to reliably predict the nature, timing or magnitude of the potential economic consequences of any such changes,' Berkshire wrote in its earnings regarding macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical events. Year-to-date revenue declined at clothing and toy brands Fruit of the Loom (11.7%), Garan (10.1%) and Jazwares (38.5%), in part due to 'uncertainties arising from international trade policies and tariffs, which produced delays in orders and shipments,' according to Berkshire's earnings. Berkshire's energy and railroad companies reported earnings increases from the same quarter a year ago, with BNSF Railway's earnings before taxes up 11.5% and BHE net income climbing 18%. Shares of Berkshire (BRK.B) closed at $472.84 on Friday. The stock is up 4.82% since the start of 2025. This is a developing story and will be updated.

A day after 8 players were traded, Joe Ryan and Twins take stock: ‘It's just sobering'
CLEVELAND — He briefly thought he'd been traded, discovered it wasn't the case, and then watched in bewilderment as many of his Minnesota Twins teammates, some seated beside him, were shockingly dealt on one of the most excruciating days in team history. Joe Ryan relayed a trade deadline experience similar to ones told by many of his teammates who woke up Friday still playing for the Twins the day after the club shipped out eight key players in a blitz before Thursday's trade deadline. Advertisement Though the remaining Twins knew to expect trades involving impending free agents, multiple players said they were waylaid when the series of deals included team-controlled relievers Griffin Jax, Louis Varland and Brock Stewart as well as star shortstop Carlos Correa. In all, the Twins traded 10 players off their major-league roster between Monday and Thursday, a frenzy that also included closer Jhoan Duran going to Philadelphia. In the aftermath, players took stock Friday as they returned to action for the first time in nearly 48 hours. Shortly after delivering another good pitching performance in a 3-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians in 10 innings, Ryan admitted thinking he wouldn't even be in a Twins uniform after an erroneous report temporarily left him thinking he'd been traded to the Boston Red Sox. 'I obviously thought I got traded for several minutes,' Ryan said after allowing two earned runs in six innings at Progressive Field. 'Then I was like, 'Is this going to happen? What's the deal?' That was a weird mix of emotions. I was with Griffin during that. It was just weird. Then he didn't think he was going to get traded and he got traded and I didn't. … It's been a whirlwind.' Some in the visiting clubhouse recounted how they spent their wild day, noting multiple groups of players watched the events unfold together at the team hotel. Others, many fresh faces having just arrived to replace those who'd been traded, started the process of acclimating to a new clubhouse full of unfamiliar teammates. And then there were a few who admitted they're still trying to process what happened as the Twins' front office embarked on one of the busiest days at the trade deadline in baseball history. 'It's got to be historic, right?' said third baseman Royce Lewis, who spent Thursday at home before flying later that night. 'Pretty unique situation.' Advertisement The scene was so surreal that Twins president Derek Falvey and general manager Jeremy Zoll flew to Cleveland on Friday morning to answer any players' questions. Manager Rocco Baldelli addressed the entire team and spoke with some individuals to discuss the opportunity the series of deals presented. The Twins also brought along outfielder Byron Buxton, who's on the trip even though he's on the injured list, believing the veteran's presence would be helpful. 'Having that leader definitely helps,' outfielder Matt Wallner said. 'It was the most interesting day of my big-league career for sure. … Saying goodbye sucks.' Wallner was with Trevor Larnach, Cole Sands, Justin Topa and Bailey Ober Thursday. Gripped by a need for instant information, Wallner re-activated a social media account he hadn't used for two years to keep up with trade speculation. He's since deactivated it. He noted the trades of Varland, which players learned of 10 minutes before the 5 p.m. CT deadline, and Jax, which arrived six minutes later, were the biggest shockers. The series of moves creates an opportunity for Sands and Topa to pitch in high-leverage innings. Before Friday's game, Baldelli spoke to both relievers to discuss their new roles. 'Ever since I've been in the big leagues we've had Griff and Duran in the back of the bullpen,' Sands said. 'Knowing that there's responsibility for others now, including myself, to go out there and shut the door and go get those (outs), it's a little different. We're going to have to go embrace that opportunity.'' Experiencing a day unlike any other he's seen in a professional career that began in 2000, Baldelli knew he needed to gather his players and see how they felt. He also wanted to deliver a message about the opportunity being afforded to some. Equally affected, Baldelli was excited to get back to work after a taxing week. Advertisement 'Sometimes the best thing to get away from something is to go play,' Baldelli said. 'It actually helps you relax. … No one's done processing all parts of what went on. That might take some time to happen, but we have to get back to work.' For rookie Alan Roden, Friday was his first day at a new workplace. The Wisconsin-born left fielder was acquired with minor-league pitcher Kendry Rojas in a deal that sent Varland to the Toronto Blue Jays. Though the 25-year-old spent Thursday preparing for a Triple-A game in Buffalo, Roden wasn't stunned to learned he'd been traded. One of eight players added to the Twins' roster on Friday, Roden tried to meet new teammates before he started and batted second, finishing 0-for-5. 'You always know (being traded is) a possibility at that time of year, especially when you're a prospect on a team that's trying to compete,' Roden said. 'It was a pretty normal day until it wasn't.' Now in his 11th season in the majors, catcher Christian Vázquez couldn't recall experiencing a day like Thursday before. He also grappled with being an anomaly on the Twins' roster, the only impending free agent of the team's six to not be traded. 'It's the first time I've seen this in my career,' Vázquez said. 'It's hard. But it's a business. Maybe God wanted me here for a reason. Yeah, I'm still here.' Four days removed from the birth of his son, Ryan Jeffers also spent Thursday at home before catching a late-night flight to rejoin the club. He'd spent part of the day at the aquarium and riding a carousel with his 2-year-old daughter. For a minute, Jeffers also thought he'd been traded. But as he stood by his stall in the Twins' clubhouse Friday, Jeffers opined why his team underwent such a drastic facelift. 'We've shown glimpses of greatness and glimpses of one of the worst teams in baseball,' Jeffers said. 'Maybe a reset was needed. Maybe this is the harsh reality of what was needed for this club. It's a hard pill to swallow for players, fans and everyone associated with the organization.' Advertisement Thursday's deadline outcome was particularly strange for Ryan to consider. After spending part of the day listening to Grateful Dead tracks and trying to distract himself, Ryan joined Correa, Jax and Varland on Thursday. Ryan and several others noted Varland was emotional after learning he'd been traded away by his hometown club. Multiple players wondered aloud Friday why the team traded away Varland, Jax, Duran and Stewart, players who were several seasons away from reaching free agency. Only 15 minutes before Varland was traded, Ryan thought he'd been sent to Boston. Within seconds, the report of the trade was removed from social media, but Ryan still thought it could happen. 'It felt like I was throwing an intense situation in a game,' Ryan said. 'We were with Carlos, too. We were sitting in there and it felt like a f—ing horserace. … There's some guys that I'm confused by why they got moved. I'm happy, I hope their opportunities work out for them and I hope they have great careers. But it is weird when your friends that you've been with for so long are just gone the next day. … It's just sobering.' (Photo of Ryan: Nick Cammett / Getty Images)

AI Boom Fuels San Francisco Party Scene As People Seek Connection
Secret salons, oyster happy hours, coffee raves--San Francisco is back and basking in idyllic weather as rent increases jump to the highest in the nation. Streets are teeming with people racing to events, despite tech season being weeks away, when conferences like Dreamforce, Disrupt, TedAI and SF Tech Week take over the city. Much of the frenzy is being attributed to the AI gold rush with people returning to town to get a piece of the action, so over the past week I popped into several happenings to hear what everyone is talking about. Finding your tribe At AGI House, a sprawling Hillsborough mansion just outside of San Francisco, known for hosting tech celebrities like Google cofounder Sergey Brin and Grimes, dozens gathered for a garden gala featuring talks with industry luminaries OpenAI's chief strategy officer Jason Kwon and former OpenAI interim CEO Emmett Shear. It was as insider as it gets with a pulsing DJ set by Twitch cofounder Justin Kan, meticulously curated by AGI House founder Rocky Yu and Icons podcaster Melanie Uno. In the mix was Poshmark cofounder Manish Chandra who shared with me his views on the AI transformation. I asked, what will people do with their lives as AI frees up time, and more importantly how will they pay for it. He replied, 'I feel like we're moving to more and more abundance, even though the path to abundance always feels a little uncertain and dark." "When the dot com boom was crashing, it was impossible to find a job. Highway 101 was emptier than Covid. There were see-through buildings, literally no jobs, and people were throwing in the towel.' Trying times, he recalled. "I remember it from a personal perspective, because I had young kids and had to figure out how to survive.' He expressed how hard times bring out things that can transform you, whether you discover superpowers or connect with new people. 'Human connections deepen when times are tough,' he said. 'When times are good, people just kind of ignore each other.' He also said there have been far crazier boom and bust cycles that have come before, with companies giving away BMWs and other outrageous perks to attract engineers. 'In the nineties, technology was changing so fast, it felt like everything you were doing was going to become obsolete, literally every day," he said. 'Every 10 years, we predict the demise of Silicon Valley, and we feel like whatever the technology is coming is dooming humanity, and is more severe than last time. Yet here we all are thriving, sitting here this lovely evening.' Emmett Shear, now cofounder of Andreessen-backed AI alignment lab, Softmax, sat down with me to discuss how people can best keep their head straight during these times. He explained that in the seventies there was a seminal work authored by Alvin Toffler, called Future Shock, that explored the psychological disorientation that can occur as a result of rapid technological change. 'This feeling of overwhelm, that if things keep changing, I can't learn fast enough to keep up with the system," he said. "But the way you keep up is actually by giving up on trying to understand everything at that level of detail.' He then shared his barbell strategy for surviving the next five years. 'In a high variance environment where things can change a lot in unexpected ways, you should just YOLO big things that might work, because even if you fail, your tried-and-true plan could also fail. So there's no point playing it safe, might as well be ambitious,' he advised. 'On the other hand, as things get riskier, you'll need to build up safety and reliability support to counterbalance.' He said hunter-gatherers lived in the same situation we're wandering into, a world of forces more powerful than themselves and beyond their control. Not only was it spiritually, emotionally and intellectually beneficial to be in a tight community, but also economically sound. When you store meat from the hunt in the bellies of friends, they'll be around to help when you find yourself in a tough spot. Futureproofing AI bets Back in San Francisco, at a Michelin starred restaurant where the meal was served community style making dining optional, AI unicorn Honeybook gathered the press to discuss how AI is birthing a new breed of one person startups and solopreneurs. It was here I had a chance to talk with Jeff Crowe, managing partner of Norwest Venture Partners, who told me the story of a 20-year old founder that landed seed funding to create text-to-sheets, text-to-deck apps right before ChatGPT made it a feature. This led to the question, how can VCs futureproof bets to prevent obsolescense in the age of AI. He said the first thing to look at is product. If it's a thin wrapper around a core, it's hard to futureproof as the LLMs eat their way further into the application layer. 'It's how venture capital looked at personal software in the nineties and said what's the differentiation if Microsoft moves into the space. Thirty-plus years later, it's a similar phenomenon in AI products, where OpenAI, Anthropic and others keep adding functionality." As far as defensible moats, he looks for product capabilities not easily disruptable like those with domain-specific data, integration with large enterprise systems, and bespoke distribution tied to supply chain. If it's a product that's been around longer, he looks for how fast it's pivoting to AI, driving into core functionality as well as operations including development, customer support, sales, marketing, HR and finance. Because if operations aren't futureproofed, competitors can gain a superior cost structure and become more capital efficient and profitable. He looks to see whether customers are adapting because some are going to get accelerated, and others obliterated, with risks that have nothing to do with the core business. Lastly, he looks for a culture that's nimble and can move exceptionally quickly. A fan of young talent, Crowe believes hiring AI-natives is the best way to transform an organization, because their rate of change is less than a worker whose baseline is pre-AI. Embracing AI workers Across town, Initialized Capital was hosting its own press dinner, introducing their portfolio of agentic startups deploying digital workers. Runway cofounder Siqi Chen told me from the moment he launched his startup in 2020, he knew they'd never have more than 100 people, because they had early access to GPT-3 and knew they could scale faster with AI, than headcount. In contrast to Crowe's hiring strategy, Chen said, Runway is hiring only senior talent. 'The profile of how we hire is quite different today than it was even three or four years ago. It's staff or principal level only at this point, because junior stuff can basically be done by LLMs today." 'We're seeing non-technical people contribute on a technical level like never before-- tagging a robot to write the code for a bug--that's just magic," he said. Runway uses bots for everything, from qualifying leads to reviewing documents. One of Initialized other portco commented that they deployed AI in Slack for IT support under the name of Paul, not AI Paul. A bit head-spinning to think you can be chatting with an AI colleague and not know it, even if they are funny. Initialized Capital's managing partner Brett Gibson said it's the natural progression of where we're heading. I asked him whether this was the end of the app economy. He replied, 'Software is going to trend towards being generatable. There are going to be a lot of apps you still want a relationship with for a variety of reasons, because they have other people on them and you're collaborating, or perhaps the AI itself has a personality you want to interact with. It's not going away, it's just going to have to adapt.' And what about humans, I asked, what's next for humans? 'The one thing that makes me very hopeful is that if there's anything AI is very good at, it's personalized education. And so hopefully, that will be the path for those feeling left out. People should follow whatever they're interested in and curious about because a high agency person using high leverage tools are going to do something cool and that's valuable," he said. AI gets the last word Back at AGI House, hanging out with hashtag inventor Chris Messina, I asked what advice he would give Gen Alpha on where to focus their energies, considering how pandemic losers have become AI winners, with ballet dancers, hair stylists and bartenders the few trades AI can't replace. 'VCs are over, SAS is over, everything that's been going on for the last 10 or 15 years kind of doesn't really make sense anymore,' he replied. 'If you really want to invest in the future, it's about having a perspective, being able to bring people into that and creating movements.' Echoing what Chen said: "There's only one Mr. Beast--and so if you develop relationship as a brand, that becomes sustainable value because AI cannot replace brand. Or can it? ChatGPT, may have no defensible moat as an AI assistant, but as a cultural icon with an estimated 1 billion followers, it remains pretty much untouchable. Just like the city from which it came.
