News Summary:

On September 4, 2026, Arte Moreno is set to sell his majority stake in the Los Angeles Angels to Los Angeles Rams owner Stan Kroenke, a move that will likely fuel speculation about the team’s future in Anaheim. This development provides context for the Minnesota Twins' ownership situation; the Pohlad family reversed course on selling the team last summer when they could not achieve their desired value, leading to Tom Pohlad taking control in December 2025 amid fan outrage and apathy. Previously, on September 3, 2026, the Chicago White Sox sent left-hander Tyler Gilbert outright to Triple-A Charlotte after he went unclaimed on waivers, having been designated for assignment earlier in the week to make space for Tommy Pham on the 40-man roster. Also on September 3, the White Sox announced a partnership with CIBC and local nonprofits to host Childhood Cancer Awareness Day on September 6, 2026, at Guaranteed Rate Field. An article published on September 3 also discussed fan reactions to the San Diego Padres' November 2025 hiring of Steven Souza Jr. as their hitting coach, a decision that initially drew skepticism due to his lack of major league coaching experience.
