Former Cubs' Javier Baez Set to Reach 10th Year of Service Time
Former Cubs' Javier Baez Set to Reach 10th Year of Service Time originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series in 2016, and a large part of that team was versatile infielder Javier Baez. He played eight years with the Cubs, appearing in 815 games for the team during his stint. Advertisement In 2025, now with the Detroit Tigers, the fan favorite Cubs infielder will reach 10 years of MLB service time. Chris McCosky of the Detroit News, preemptively congratulated Baez on Twitter/X for reaching 10 years of service time. Baez, upon being on the roster for the Tigers game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday, June 17th, will reach his tenth year of service time. Not only is it a nice accomplishment for Baez, but it comes with a lot of perks as well. Once a player reaches 10 years of service time, they become qualified for a fully vested portion of the pension program. This fully vested pension program is a huge deal for Major Leaguers. It's security even after they retire, and grants them stability for, essentially, the rest of their life. Advertisement Reaching such a milestone isn't just about the accomplishment of accruing 10 years of service time; it's about receiving security in the form of a pension once they retire. Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (28) reacts to his standing ovation for his first game back at Wrigley Field during the second inning in a game against the Chicago Gorski-Imagn Images Players build up days of service time by being on an MLB roster or the injured list during a season. With each MLB season totaling roughly 187 days, the total needed for "one year" of service time isn't 365 days, but rather just 172. So, Baez, throughout his 12 seasons in MLB between the Cubs, Mets, and Tigers, will reach his tenth year of service time in the Tigers game on Tuesday night, June 17th. In his MLB career, Baez has spent the majority of it with the Cubs, where he accumulated 21.8 WAR, 754 hits, 419 runs, 151 doubles, 19 triples, 140 home runs, and 4443 RBIs. Advertisement After 12 seasons, eight of which came with the Cubs, during which he became a franchise legend, Baez is set to reach his tenth year of service time. Congratulations are in store for Baez, and 10 years of service time is the goal for a lot of Major Leaguers around baseball.

Who is Mark Walter? What to know about Los Angeles Lakers new majority owner
Who is Mark Walter? What to know about Los Angeles Lakers new majority owner Show Caption Hide Caption Lakers' offseason: How to improve around Luka Doncic The Lakers must decide how to move forward with Luka Doncic as their new centerpiece after a surprising playoff loss. Mark Walter just became one of the most powerful owners in all of sports. The CEO and founder of holding company TWG Global is set to acquire a majority ownership stake in the Los Angeles Lakers, acquiring it from the Buss family − led by Jeanie Buss − for a $10 billion valuation. It's not only a monumental day in Los Angeles, but in the United States as it becomes the most expensive purchase agreement of a U.S. pro sports franchise in history. The Lakers are one of the most recognizable sports brands in the world, and the sale could mean grand things for the team that has won 18 NBA championships. It will be the first time in more than 45 years that the Lakers won't be owned by the Buss family. Jerry Buss had purchased the team in 1979. So with Walter becoming an even more important figure in sports, here's what to know about the new Lakers owner: Who is Mark Walter? Walter is a 65-year-old businessman from Iowa. He attended Creighton University and got his doctorate at Northwestern University. He also is a board member at both of his alma maters.

However, the team eventually went to Steve Balmer, who acquired the Clippers for $2 billion.

Magic Johnson shades Celtics after historic $10 billion Lakers sale
Lakers legend Magic Johnson applauded the agreement to sell the organization to Dodgers owner Mark Walter for an astonishing $10 billion — and found a way to poke fun at the Celtics. The pending sale — reportedly the largest ever for a sports team — is set to end the Buss family's control of one of the NBA's marquee franchises. 'Job well done to my sister Jeanie Buss for striking an incredible deal and picking the right person to carry on the @Lakers legacy and tradition of winning,' Johnson, who owns a minority stake in the Dodgers, wrote on X shortly after the agreement was reported. Advertisement Johnson then had some fun at the Celtics' expense, citing the March sale of the Boston franchise. 3 Magic Johnson and Jeanie Buss exchange a hug during the game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Cleveland Cavaliers on March 11, 2018. NBAE via Getty Images 'Just like I thought, when the Celtics sold for $6B, I knew the Lakers were worth $10B!' Johnson wrote. Johnson called Walter a 'business partner' and a 'friend' — as they are both in the Dodgers' ownership group — in the social media post before going on to extol the CEO and chairman of TWG Global's accolades. Advertisement 'Mark Walter is the best choice and will be the best caretaker of the Laker brand,' the Lakers' great wrote. 'The proof is in the pudding on what he's been able to accomplish with the LA Dodgers. Mark has been nothing short of a winner notching 2 World Series and 11 NL West divisional titles in the last 12 years!' Johnson added on a second post that Walter is 'driven by winning, excellence, and doing everything the right way.' The Buss family has owned the Lakers since 1979, when Jerry Buss bought the franchise from Jack Kent Cooke in a $67.5 million deal, which also included the NHL Kings and the Los Angeles Forum, the two teams' home at the time.

'I can understand why Jeanie sold the team to Mark Walter because they are just alike – they are competitive people, l have big hearts, love to give back, and both prefer to be behind the scenes. This makes all the sense in the world. 'I am so so SO happy and excited for @Lakers fans all over the world!!
