Braves predicted to trade for $8.5M All-Star, Silver Slugger winner to replace Ha-Seong Kim originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Atlanta Braves had another miserable year at shortstop in a season when they thought they had finally figured out the position. Ever since Dansby Swanson left to join the Chicago Cubs, it has been a brutal nightmare for Atlanta.
The Braves picked up Ha-Seong Kim at the end of September 2025, and he impressed. For that reason, the Braves decided to bring him back on a new contract.
"Shortstop Ha-Seong Kim is returning to the Atlanta Braves, agreeing Monday to a one-year, $20 million contract that addressed a major offseason priority for the team. Kim gets a $4 million raise. He had declined a $16 million player option that was in the two-year, $29 million contract he signed in February with Tampa Bay, a deal that paid him $13 million. The Braves announced the new deal with Kim on Monday night," ESPN wrote.
Kim injured himself during the offseason, causing him to miss time. When he returned to Atlanta, he put the Braves in a difficult position because of his lack of production.

Nick Wright claims the Kansas City Chiefs played in a way that should have led to them losing against the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Kansas City Chiefs are yet to lose a game still since Patrick Mahomes returned and the season began. On Sunday, they took on the NFL's worst team at the moment, the Los Angeles Chargers, and secured a commanding 22-6 victory to take their record to 5-0.
LA's offensive woes continued and somehow got even worse during this game. Justin Herbert was unable to get anything going, so the Chiefs' mistakes also went unpunished. Giving his two cents on the game in the aftermath, **** yst Nick Wright was quick to point that out.
Kansas City's record may be perfect, but the team itself was quite far away from that against LA. Mahomes threw an interception and Kansas City also missed an extra point, to give some examples. At the NFL level, mistakes like this are usually punished.
Wright gave a full account of everything the Chiefs got wrong before going on to then also diss the Chargers. Considering how poor they have been, it is hard to disagree with his take.

Young, hungry, and increasingly central to Gian Piero Gasperini's project. Roma, after beating Genoa, continues to generate buzz, especially for their green line, which has become something much more concrete than a simple emergency decision.
And the symbol of this new path is Emanuele Lulli, who made a splash on Saturday night with his first Serie A goal and is now close to signing a new contract with the Giallorossi.
Corriere dello Sport claims that Roma are reportedly preparing to extend the young winger's contract until 2031, with negotiations already at an advanced stage.
The current agreement expires in 2027, and the parties are working to adjust his salary and extend his contract as long as possible, thus securing one of the talents who has most impressed Gasperini in these first months. Lulli's growth has been rapid.
Born in Palestrina on August 17, 2007, just a few months ago he was watching the first team from afar. During the summer preparations, however, he stood out especially in the physical and athletic tests, where he was among the best in the group.

The Hungarian international, 29, was a target for the Hoops during the summer as the club looked to strengthen their limited goalkeeping options, however no agreement was reached and the hoops brought in former England international Sam Johnstone from Wolves on a one year loan deal instead.
11 times capped Toth has an extension offer from the EFL Championship club, with Blackburn manager Tony Mowbray hoping to persuade him to stay on at Ewood Park.
Journalist Alan Nixon has reported that Toth, who signed for Rovers in a Hungarian side Fehervar for a fee of around £1million, is not currently willing to sign the proposed agreement, and Celtic are keeping a close eye on the situation.

A handshake agreement. That's the term I saw all weekend regarding the College Football Playoff expanding from 12 teams to 24 beginning next year, with ESPN remaining the sole rights holder. There are positives and negatives to the reported deal, and it was refreshing to hear discourse on both sides of the argument across ESPN's networks this weekend. That's something college football fans didn't get with the network's coverage of the Protect College Sports Act.
However, in the end, ESPN owns all the goods. Again. The network has been the exclusive rights holder since the playoff began just 12 years ago. Fans can debate whether expanding the playoff to 24 teams will diminish the weekly must-win stakes of college football or lead to the elimination of conference championship games for major conferences. One thing remains clear: ESPN controls the entire package. That raises a question: If the sport wants to expand on the field, why can't it expand how those games are broadcast?
The old saying goes, "Follow the money." After signing a six-year, $7.8 billion exclusive extension in 2024, ESPN received an exclusive 30-day window to negotiate with the College Football Playoff over expansion. That window expired, but a handshake agreement was reportedly reached in the days that followed.
As a result, FOX Sports, CBS Sports/TNT Sports/Skydance, NBC Sports, and others never had an opportunity to compete for the expanded package during that window. Has ESPN dominated college football coverage for generations? Of course. Is watching College GameDay part of the average fan's Saturday routine during the fall? Absolutely.
But imagine if the NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL handled their biggest events the same way. Imagine if Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady were left out of the NFL's biggest games. What if Kenny Albert and Eddie Olczyk never got the opportunity to call the Stanley Cup Final?

Suns' Oso Ighodaro agrees to $29 million contract extension before 2026-27 season appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Phoenix Suns have locked up a homegrown big man at a price that could age very well. Oso Ighodaro has agreed to a three-year, $29 million contract extension that runs through the 2030-31 season, his agent Erika Ruiz of Primera Sports told ESPN's Shams Charania.
The deal came together a day before Monday's deadline for rookie-scale and second-round extensions.
Charania added that the Suns are picking up Ighodaro's $2.5 million team option for 2027-28, so the extension starts in 2028 and runs through 2031 for a second-round find who has established himself as a reliable center. Ighodaro is now signed further out than any other player on the roster, including Devin Booker.

The OKC Thunder agreed to a five-year, $139 million rookie-scale contract extension with Cason Wallace on Sunday. ESPN's Shams Charania first reported the news.
Wallace averaged career highs of 8.6 points and 2.6 **** ists last season on 43.2% shooting from the field (35.1% from deep). He also recorded a league-leading 150 steals and earned an All-Defensive second team selection.
More: Lu Dort reflects on OKC Thunder legacy as 'new chapter' with Atlanta Hawks begins
OKC had until Monday to sign Wallace to a new deal and avoid him hitting restricted free agency next summer. It's a sign of confidence in the 22-year-old guard, who'll serve as the Thunder's top point-of-attack defender now that Lu Dort is gone.
It's also a sign of commitment from OKC's ownership group after the team made cost-cutting moves this summer. The Thunder traded Dort, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe in three separate deals for a combined seven second-round picks and didn't get any players in return. That helped it position itself $6.9 million underneath the second apron with one standard roster spot still open.

Cason Wallace and the Oklahoma City Thunder have agreed to a five-year, $139 million extension to his rookie contract, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
The two sides beat Monday' deadline for players from the 2023 draft class to sign rookie scale extensions. Had they not reached a deal before the deadline, Wallace would have played the final year of his rookie contract on a team option, then entered the 2026-27 offseason as a restricted free agent.
With the deal, the Thunder secure a defensive anchor of their core as they seek to win a second NBA championship in three seasons.
This story will be updated.

Miesha Shakes wants to question Montia Sabbag about the recording and its investigation in her ongoing legal dispute with Hart.
Kevin Hart's former ****** istant Miesha Shakes wants Montia Sabbag, the woman involved in his 2017 ****** tape scandal, to testify in the comedian's lawsuit against her.
In court documents obtained by TMZ, Shakes said she wants to question Sabbag about the recording and the investigation that followed. She also plans to testify herself and call Hart as a witness.
Hart sued Shakes in December 2023 after she discussed his private life during an interview with blogger Tasha K, whose real name is Latasha Kebe. Shakes worked for Hart's company from August 2017 to October 2020. His complaint accused her of defamation and breaching a nondisclosure agreement. Hart denied her claims that he recorded a ****** ual encounter and faced criminal charges over it.
Shakes argues the agreement is invalid because Hart failed to meet obligations under it. Hart disputes that argument and says her comments damaged his reputation. In June 2026, he asked a judge to order Shakes to pay $50,000, citing the damages provision in their agreement.

Republican efforts to reduce national gas prices in the weeks before Election Day were derailed in the Senate by infighting among GOP lawmakers and members of the administration who could not agree on how to ease consumers’ pain at the pump.
The divisions within the Senate Republican conference over how to lower gas and diesel prices — even if temporarily — were driven primarily by geographic differences.
Senators from oil-refining states shot down proposals from farm-state senators to ban the export of diesel or to loosen restrictions on the sale of E15 gasoline with higher ethanol content.
“You’re talking about regional politics, and it gets bogged down in the politics of energy, and the fiefdoms around it,” said Ron Bonjean, a GOP strategist and former Senate leadership aide.
There were divisions that went beyond geography, too.

One of Andrew Tate's accusers says he convinced her to move to Romania by telling her she would be able to decide whether she participated in webcam work. According to newly public extradition materials, she says that choice disappeared after she arrived.
The woman alleges that she began working 12-hour shifts while Tate, his brother Tristan Tate and others controlled conversations with paying customers and accepted money for ***** ual acts she says she had never agreed to perform. TMZ reported the specific allegations from court documents filed as Britain seeks to extradite the brothers from the United States.
She says she had set explicit boundaries around what she would and would not do but was pressured into acts outside those limits, including one degrading act involving a bed fixture that allegedly continued for about an hour. The woman described her overall experience as feeling like "sexual slavery." The allegations have not been proven in court.
U.K. investigators allege the brothers used romantic relationships to draw women to Romania before using financial control, intimidation and violence to exploit them through online ***** ual content. The brothers deny wrongdoing and are fighting extradition from federal custody in Miami.
According to the documents described by TMZ, the woman says Tate persuaded her to relocate to Romania in 2017. The woman says she that Tate, Tristan and other people involved in the operation controlled communications with customers.

Taylor Swift cross-eyed jokes took center stage during the latest episode of the New Heights podcast. Travis Kelce couldn't help but react after spotting a fan-made Halloween display inspired by him and his wife. While he loved the festive tribute, one funny detail immediately caught his attention.
Travis Kelce shared a hilarious reaction after seeing a Halloween display featuring hay versions of himself and Taylor Swift.
On the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, looked at fan-submitted Halloween decorations. One display showed "Haylor Swift" wearing a sparkling outfit inspired by the Eras Tour alongside "Travis Kelc-Hay" in a Kansas City Chiefs uniform.
After seeing the display, Travis jokingly asked, "Why'd they have to make my wife cross-eyed?" The eight-word remark quickly became one of the episode's funniest moments.
Jason agreed that Taylor's eyes looked slightly crossed in the decoration. He then joked that maybe she was about to sneeze. Travis laughed and revealed there was some truth behind the joke. "She does go cross-eyed before she sneezes," he said, prompting more laughter between the brothers.

Debra Messing is facing intense backlash over her decision to support Republican Bruce Blakeman in New York's gubernatorial race.
Messing, who has previously supported Democratic candidates including Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, shared an Instagram statement Tuesday evening laying out her reasons for endorsing the Donald Trump-backed candidate.
"For years, my focus has been protecting choice and voting rights, passing the ERA, protecting the rights of the gay community, and keeping out children's schools safe from gun violence. I still stand by every one of those principles. That hasn't changed," Messing wrote. "What has changed is how I feel about the city and state I love dearly."
The Will & Grace star said that after voting for Governor Kathy Hochul four years ago, she had reflected on that decision ahead of the November election. "So I asked myself the question I'd encourage everyone to ask. Not: 'Which party am I supposed to vote for?' But: 'Who do I believe will actually make life better for the people I love and the place I live?'"
For Messing, that person is Blakeman. "I don't agree with him on everything, and I don't expect to," she wrote. "No candidate is perfect. But on the issues that are hurting New Yorkers right now, I believe he's the right choice. Yes, he's been endorsed by the President. That's not what my vote is about."

But on the issues that are hurting New Yorkers right now, I believe he's the right choice. Yes, he's been endorsed by the President. That's not what my vote is about."

Minutes from the Federal Reserve's September policy meeting reflect unanimous agreement among officials that interest rates needed to be higher to combat persistent inflation.
"Participants generally emphasized that inflation remained elevated while the labor market appeared to be near full employment, with some signs of strengthening, and that economic activity was expanding at a solid pace. Furthermore, almost all participants ****** sed that, while inflation risks were tilted to the upside, risks to the labor market had diminished and were now broadly balanced," minutes from the Sept. 16 meeting released Wednesday stated.
"Based on the outlook and the changing balance of risks, all participants viewed a higher target range for the federal funds rate as appropriate."
The Fed voted unanimously on Sept. 16 to raise rates, the first hike in three years. And at the time, most Federal Open Market Committee members saw a need for at least one more 25 basis point rate hike this year.
Markets were banking on a hike and expecting more to come.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Most Federal Reserve officials expect that another interest rate increase will likely be needed this year to combat inflation, according to minutes released Wednesday from the central bank's most recent meeting.
The officials unanimously agreed that inflation was still elevated and had not made much progress toward their 2% target in recent months, the minutes said. The Fed increased its key interest rate at the Sept. 15-16 meeting by a quarter-point to about 3.9%, its first increase in three years.
The increase defied President Donald Trump's repeated calls for the Fed to cut rates and prompted the president to criticize the Fed's rate-setting committee, though he still expressed support for Chairman Kevin Warsh, whom he appointed earlier this year. The rate increase comes as Americans are already struggling with high costs for groceries, gas and housing, and as affordability has taken on a leading role in the upcoming midterm elections, just seven weeks away.
Longer-term interest rates for mortgages and other borrowing have also jumped in the past few months for a range of reasons, including rising government debt, heavy borrowing by tech firms to finance data center construction, climbing oil and gas prices, and signs that growth and inflation remain elevated. The Fed's rate hike has likely played only a limited role in the increase.
Still, key policymakers have said since the meeting that the Fed can take some time to monitor the economy and the impact of last month's rate hike before making another move. Wall Street investors now forecast the Fed will keep its rate unchanged at its next meeting Oct. 28-29, according to futures pricing, and raise it when they meet in December.

Slayyyter appeared on Late Night with Seth Meyers to discuss her newly announced album wor$t man in america, but her love of vintage showgirl costumes also became part of the conversation. She shared that an old French cabaret costume she had worn for a music video apparently contained hazardous materials and gave her a rash.
Lloyd Bishop/NBC
The showgirl context is really key to understanding why this MYAT Fall 2026 dress was chosen.
The distressed pleated silk is formed to create a showgirl silhouette through the fitted strapless bodice, high-low hemline and dramatic trailing volume. I don't feel that it looks like a literal costume, but I'm sure many will strongly disagree.
It's fun and playful, and it leans into what she loves, with MIRAKI jewels and decorative Jimmy Choo Sacora sandals adding even more personality without competing with the dress.

Kevin Hart's 2017 ***** tape scandal could resurface in court as Montia Sabbag may be called to testify in the comedian's ongoing legal battle. Sabbag, who was involved in the controversial recording, could now face questions about the incident and the investigation that followed.
Kevin Hart's former ***** istant Miesha Shakes is seeking testimony from Montia Sabbag in her legal dispute with the comedian, potentially bringing Hart's controversial 2017 ***** tape scandal back into the spotlight. According to TMZ, Shakes wants Sabbag questioned about the video and the investigation that followed.
Sabbag was at the center of the scandal after a video involving her and Hart became the subject of an extortion investigation. She has acknowledged that she appears in the recording but has denied any involvement in making it or in the extortion attempt that followed. Shakes now reportedly wants her account of those events to become part of the current proceedings.
Sabbag's potential involvement comes amid a separate dispute between Hart and Shakes over a non-disclosure agreement. Hart has accused his former ***** istant of violating the agreement by discussing his personal life in an interview with a blogger. Shakes has disputed that claim and argued that Hart failed to fulfill obligations under the agreement, which she says makes the deal invalid.
The two sides also disagree over who is responsible for damage to Hart's reputation. Hart has accused Shakes of harming his public image, while Shakes has argued that Hart's own actions have contributed to it, citing the ***** tape controversy among other examples. Shakes plans to testify in the case and wants Hart to do the same. The legal proceedings are ongoing.

A woman claims she's cracked the code on identifying people you need to stay away from. In a TikTok video, Sid (sidandlisten) explained that her extensive experience watching true crime documentaries, along with her background in managing a YouTube channel that focused on true crime at one point, has given her insights into the types of people to be cautious of when dating.
"If you are dating someone and they have dead eyes, like, they. They. It doesn't express anything, and they just kind of look at you like this without moving their eyes or anything like that, and, like, there's just, like, no movement. There's no movement at all," Sid said. As she mentioned this, she stared blankly into the camera in an effort to show what the expression would look like in person.
Sid then highlighted another thing people should look out for when dating: pursed lips. "And they purse their lips like this when they're talking, and their eyes are really dead. Run!," Sid said in her video's conclusion.
Sid's video has gained more than 2 million views, with thousands of people liking, commenting, sharing, and saving it. Speaking of the comments, some people appear to agree with Sid, primarily because of their personal experience.
One person wrote, "this is 100% True. my grandma used to always tell my mum "you can tell a person by their eyes", needless to say I didn't heed this information and ended up in a relationship where I was almost part of the next true crime series…(run before they start planning to skin you alive folks LOL…)" Another person said, "girl I can see it. I used to avoid people I would meet and had an empty look in their eyes 20 even 30 years ago… you can just tell when someone is basically possessed…"

Zendaya is facing backlash after a video of her meeting France's First Lady went viral. The clip, shared by Paris Match, shows the actress staying seated while Brigitte Macron stopped by to say ******* o at the Louis Vuitton show during Paris Fashion Week. The brief moment has caught everyone's attention online, with many debating whether she should have stood up.
Zendaya's seated ******* o to Brigitte Macron leaves social media divided. The 30-year-old actress sat in the front row at Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer 2027 show on Tuesday. The show was held in the Cour Carrée of the Louvre.
In the video shared online, Macron, 73, walks through the front row, greeting guests like Pharrell Williams and Lisa of BLACKPINK. She then pauses to speak with Zendaya. At first glance, the exchange looks warm and friendly. But upon closer look, Zendaya never rises from her seat. Reportedly, she said ******* o, told Macron it was a pleasure to meet her, and shook her hand.
The clip quickly sparked debate online. Some viewers criticized Zendaya for remaining seated, with one viral reaction saying she "gotta get up" when the First Lady says ******* o. Many viewers agreed, saying standing would have been the polite thing to do. "When the Premier Dame from France Talks to You please get up," one Instagram user wrote. Another commenter, who said she loves Zendaya, noted that American culture seems more relaxed about formalities than others.
Others came to her defense. Some fans suggested she may have been caught off guard, pointing out that the greeting was quick and unplanned. A few added that a busy front row at a fashion show isn't exactly a formal setting, and that Zendaya came across as gracious and polite throughout. Neither Zendaya nor Macron has addressed the reactions yet. For the unversed, Zendaya is a Louis Vuitton ambassador and a regular at the brand's Paris shows.

There's zero chance that Halle Berry and ex-husband Olivier Martinez will reach a compromise amid their battle over 13-year-old son Maceo, a source tells Star.
"The hatred between these two is off the charts," reveals the source. "There's years and years of ugly history."
On Thursday, October 1, People reported that the Unfaithful actor, 60, was granted a temporary restraining order against the Oscar-winning actress, 60, as well as modified visitation after he accused her of physically abusing Maceo.
"Olivier's accusing Halle of being dangerous and saying he needs to protect their son from her, which is something she vehemently denies," reveals the source. "She's furious and says all Olivier is doing is trying to alienate her son from her."
In documents obtained by Star, the Monster's Ball actress asked that their former custody agreement, which grants her 50/50 custody and tie-breaking authority, be reinstated and that Martinez be forced to attend court-ordered therapy sessions.

American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT) traded at around $165 on October 6, within five dollars of its 52-week low of $160.06.
The company keeps 45.41% of revenue as operating profit on a portfolio of communications towers leased to wireless carriers. A business that profitable sitting at a 52-week low is usually a disagreement about the future rather than the present.
READ ALSO: What is eBay's (EBAY) Economic Moat, and is it Widening or Narrowing?
A tower is difficult to replicate for reasons that have nothing to do with engineering. Local authorities restrict where new structures can go, so an existing site near a highway or a dense suburb cannot simply be copied next door.
The economics follow from that scarcity. The first tenant on a tower covers the construction and the ground lease, and each additional tenant is close to pure margin. Gross margin of 73.77% is what that layering produces, and the 45.41% operating margin is what survives after the overheads.

US authorities have arrested a 30-year-old from Washington state in connection with the February school shooting in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia.
James Cody Bryant was arrested in Bellingham, Washington, on Tuesday morning on a charge of conspiracy to murder persons in a foreign country, according to the US Justice Department. The February attack on a secondary school in the small town at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains was Canada’s deadliest school shooting in decades, leaving eight people dead, including six children, and dozens wounded.
Bryant appeared in court Tuesday afternoon in Seattle. CNN has reached out to Bryant’s lawyer for comment. A hearing has been set for October 20.
Bryant was allegedly “in repeated contact with” the 18-year-old Canadian shooter, Jesse Van Rootselaar, “offering advice, sending money and even agreeing to live stream the horrific event” on Twitch, said Neil Floyd, the acting US attorney for the Western District of Washington, at a press conference in Seattle.
The money Bryant gave the shooter amounted to a little over $100, primarily to buy a lighter and a pair of shoes that Van Rootselaar “wanted to have when she conducted this killing spree,” Floyd said. The two discussed sending weapons to Van Rootselaar, but Bryant was uncomfortable with doing so and refused, according to a complaint filed in court on Friday.

A 66-year-old recently retired engineer wants to give each of his three adult children $19,000 a year from the couple's $1.5 million portfolio. He wants to see them enjoy the money now rather than wait for an inheritance.
His wife, 64, disagrees. She thinks the kids should earn it like they did and worries that $57,000 a year in gifts could put their own retirement at risk.
The tax rules make those gifts relatively straightforward. The harder question is whether the couple can afford them.
