00:02 All right, over to Major League Baseball.
00:04 We've got a light slate today, only ten games in Major League Baseball.
00:07 A lot of them starting, by the way, in the afternoon.
00:09 In case you missed it last night,
00:10 Twins reliever John Duran recorded the fastest pitch of the 2023 season.
00:14 This number is 104.8 miles per hour.
00:19 You heard that correctly, I'll say it again.
00:20 104.8 miles per hour, fastest pitch of the Major League Baseball season.
00:25 How about the Baltimore Orioles?
00:27 They're in first place in the American League East, it is by percentages.
00:31 But they're in first, Tampa Bay Rays, boy, they gotta get their act together.
00:35 They have not played well over the last month or so.
00:37 Orioles are in first, speaking of which, they made a trade yesterday acquiring
00:41 Shintaro Fujinami for some minor leaguer named Easton Lucas.
00:45 And so the O's, definitely buyers at the trade deadline,
00:48 we'll see what more they end up doing.
00:49 But they gotta push their foot down and go for this thing for sure.
00:52 Also, great reporting from the Athletic yesterday,
00:55 as they put out the story late last night, Major League Baseball owners are expected
00:58 to extend Rob Manfred's contract, Commissioner of Major League Baseball,
01:02 for another five years.
01:04 That vote will come down next week in Washington, DC.
