Before the Red Sox and Angels had a chance to close out their three-game series at Fenway Park on Wednesday, the two teams got into a heated pre-game argument on the field. Coaches from both teams had to be separated as they jawed back and forth with each other.
The loud and animated confrontation reportedly came after Los Angeles accused Red Sox first base coach Jose Flores of stealing signs during Monday's game, according to WEEI's Rob Bradford. It started when Angels pitcher Tyler Anderson had words with Flores, and erupted from there as Flores got into it with Angels pitching coach Barry Enright.
That prompted a number of Red Sox players to take the field before the situation was defused.

After cooler heads prevailed, Boston manager Alex Cora was seen having a conversation with Anderson. NESN initially posted video of the altercation to the station's X account ahead of Wednesday's game, but later deleted the post. At least The Section 10 podcast saved the video and posted it on its X account for all to see:

Anderson was reportedly upset over Flores stealing signs from first during his Monday start, and confronted him on the field about it Wednesday, according to Bradford. Anderson gave up five runs over 4.1 innings on Monday, with the Red Sox scoring four of those runs in the fifth inning. How a first base coach can steal signs with the new PitchCom remains unknown, but Anderson was clearly miffed about something.
Now we'll wait to see if there are any carryover fireworks in Wednesday's series finale. It's the final time the Angels will play at Fenway Park this season, though the Red Sox head out West for a three-game series in Los Angeles from June 23-25.
The Angels won the first two games of the current three-game series, which has sent the scuffling Red Sox to a 29-34 record for the season.

BRYAN SEELEY NAMED INAUGURAL CEO OF THE COLLEGE SPORTS COMMISSION
Long-time MLB executive brings wealth of legal, executive experience to new role WASHINGTON, June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The College Sports Commission, the newly established independent body tasked with overseeing the transformative changes to college athletics following the landmark House settlement, is proud to announce the selection of Bryan Seeley as its first Chief Executive Officer. A deeply experienced legal and operational leader with a distinguished career in professional sports and public service, Seeley will lead the Commission as a new era of fairness, integrity, and opportunity begins in college athletics. Seeley will officially begin this role in the near future. Seeley brings with him a wealth of experience handling high-profile legal and compliance matters and building teams to perform complex work in the sports industry. Most recently, Seeley served as Executive Vice President, Legal & Operations at Major League Baseball (MLB) where he served on MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred's executive leadership team, oversaw investigations into a wide range of issues including circumvention of international compensation caps, and developed and enforced rules in evolving policy areas such as legalized sports betting. Prior to joining MLB in 2014, Seeley served for eight years as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Washington, D.C. where he prosecuted a wide variety of criminal activity. His collaborative leadership style and proven ability to navigate sensitive matters make him uniquely suited to guide the College Sports Commission in implementing the settlement's terms, enforcing the new rules and fostering a sustainable future for college athletics. As the first CEO of the College Sports Commission, Seeley will build out the organization's investigative and enforcement teams and oversee all of its ongoing operations and stakeholder relationships. The College Sports Commission, under Seeley's leadership, will work to continuously educate student-athletes and schools about the new rules, how to comply with them and how to use the new technology systems (CAPS and NIL Go) that the Commission is putting in place. Seeley and his team will also be responsible for enforcement of the new rules around revenue sharing, student-athlete third-party name image and likeness (NIL) deals, and roster limits. The Commission will investigate potential rules violations, make factual determinations, issue penalties where appropriate, and participate in the neutral arbitration process set forth in the settlement as necessary. Reflecting on his appointment, Seeley said: 'I am honored to serve as the first CEO of the College Sports Commission at this pivotal moment in the history of collegiate athletics. I look forward to implementing a system that prioritizes fairness, integrity, and opportunity, while preserving the values that make college sports unique. I am energized by the work ahead and excited to begin building out our team.' Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner Jim Phillips, Big Ten Conference Commissioner Tony Petitti, Big 12 Conference Commissioner Brett Yormark and Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey released the following joint statement, expressing enthusiasm for Seeley's leadership: 'Bryan brings unwavering integrity and a wealth of relevant experience to his new role leading the College Sports Commission and working to ensure a smooth implementation of this new system. We're grateful to have an individual with his credentials and expertise at the helm, and we look forward to his leadership as we transition into this new era of college sports.' 'Bryan is an exceptional choice to lead the College Sports Commission,' said Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred. 'During his time at MLB, Bryan demonstrated unparalleled integrity, a commitment to fairness, and the ability to navigate complex challenges with precision and care. I have no doubt he will bring the same level of excellence to the College Sports Commission. College sports will greatly benefit from Bryan's expertise and vision.' Seely's appointment follows the announcement of the court approval of the House v. NCAA settlement agreement and the subsequent establishment of the College Sports Commission.

Hagens Berman: Court Grants Final Approval to Historic Settlement in NCAA College Athlete Name, Image and Likeness Antitrust Litigation
OAKLAND, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jun 6, 2025-- Attorneys at Hagens Berman representing a class of nearly 400,000 college athletes celebrated the court's granting of final approval to a historic settlement with the NCAA. In addition to $2.78 billion in past damages, the total value of new payments and benefits to college athletes under the new revenue-sharing model is expected to exceed $20 billion over the next 10 years, making it the largest antitrust class-action settlement in history. The firm's managing partner and co-founder Steve Berman served as court-appointed co-lead counsel in the litigation, fighting for the rights of college athletes for two decades and pioneering the firm's sports litigation practice. 'Hagens Berman's sports litigation attorneys have fought the NCAA's limits to scholarships and pay since 2004 and this result — 20 years later — is a fantastic win for hundreds of thousands of college athletes,' Berman said. 'We look forward to overseeing this process and watching the revenue-sharing benefits unfold for college athletes over the next 10 years.' The antitrust class-action lawsuit against the NCAA will bring historic and previously unforeseen changes to college sports and will allow college athletes to be fairly compensated for the use of their name, image and likeness (NIL) in what has become a multibillion-dollar industry. The settlement process was thoroughly reviewed by Judge Claudia A. Wilken of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California who in the April settlement fairness hearing requested further attention to details concerning roster limits and other aspects of the settlement. 'Major changes don't happen overnight, and we thank the court for its careful consideration of what is a monumental shift in college sports that will bring the NCAA into the modern age,' Berman said. 'We hope this settlement inspires all to see the capabilities of class-action law to bring about tangible benefits and change. Not to be forgotten are the brave efforts of Sedona Prince and Grant House who were the original class representatives who stood up to take on this fight.' The settlement resolves three pending antitrust lawsuits, House v. NCAA, Hubbard v. NCAA, and Carter v. NCAA. As part of the settlement, the NCAA and its conferences will pay more than $2.78 billion in damages to college athletes over a 10-year period, eliminate rules prohibiting schools from making direct payments to athletes, and dramatically expand the availability of compensation and benefits available to athletes. This includes eliminating restrictions on the number of available athletic scholarships across all Division I sports.
