A lockout is looming over MLB in December 2026, with a salary cap fight possibly at the center
'No one's talking about it, but we all know that they're going to lock us out for it, and then we're going to miss time,' New York Mets All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso said Monday at the All-Star Game. 'We're definitely going to fight to not have a salary cap and the league's obviously not going to like that.'

VJ Edgecombe: No. 3 pick shakes off slow start, helps Sixers to win in Las Vegas debut
No. 3 pick VJ Edgecombe recovered from some early rust on Tuesday, leading the Philadelphia 76ers to a win in his first game in the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Nevada. Edgecombe went scoreless in the first half, missing each of his first seven attempts from the field. He responded by producing 15 points over the next two quarters, going 4 of 7 from the field and 6 of 6 at the free-throw line in a 74-58 win over the Washington Wizards. Advertisement Once Edgecombe got going, the 19-year-old showcased each element of his game, from his explosion on offense to his ability to make plays for teammates. He was dynamic with the ball in his hands and got into the paint with ease after getting past the defense. Edgecombe debuted with the Sixers on July 5, producing 28 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal. He was sidelined for the last four games due to a left thumb sprain, though he participated in some on-court workouts before receiving clearance to play on Tuesday. The former Baylor guard overcame some early inconsistency in his return, but eventually settled into the game and put a rough start behind him. He played a key role for the team down the stretch and made several crucial plays to help the Sixers get by the Wizards. Advertisement After picking up their first win, the Sixers return to action on Wednesday (8 p.m. EDT, ESPN) and will wrap up their stay in the desert on Friday (6 p.m. EDT, NBA TV).
