Episode description as stored
On this episode of Yesterday in Sports , Chris Horwedel examines FIFA’s controversial proposal to create a $20 billion commercial subsidiary responsible for the World Cup, Club World Cup and other competitions. The plan would allow private investors to purchase a minority stake, prompting coordinated opposition from UEFA, Concacaf and the Asian Football Confederation over concerns about ownership, influence and the commercial future of international soccer. The WNBA section covers Minnesota-Toronto, Chicago-Connecticut and Las Vegas-New York, along with the latest championship and MVP markets from oddsmakers. Chris also discusses the developing trade interest surrounding Connecticut forward Aneesah Morrow. Major League Baseball coverage includes Royals-Twins, Cubs-Cardinals, White Sox-Yankees, Reds-Pirates, Braves-Nationals, Rays-Rangers, Mets-Marlins, Dodgers-Mariners, Red Sox-Athletics and Giants-Padres. The MLB trade deadline also produces two notable moves. Minnesota acquires veteran reliever A.J. Minter from the Mets, while Baltimore adds catcher Jake Rogers from Detroit amid injuries behind the plate. In the NFL, New Orleans ends Chris Olave’s contract dispute with a four-year extension worth up to $132 million. Chris examines the financial commitment, Olave’s importance to the Saints and the medical risk involved in securing him through 2030. Chelsea strengthens its defense by signing French center back Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace, while the show closes with the opening round of the Rocket Classic and tennis action from Washington featuring Alex de Minaur, Cruz Hewitt, Alejandro Tabilo and Terence Atmane.
