Mike Trout is cautiously optimistic about the future in Anaheim. The face of the Angels franchise called the Stan Kroenke sale a fresh start, pointing to Kroenke's ownership track record across his other teams. For a club that's been stuck in neutral for years, that kind of buy-in from your best player matters.
Shifting to the WNBA, Caitlin Clark's rookie season continues to rewrite the record books, and her former Iowa coach Jan Jensen is making no secret of where she stands on the MVP conversation. Jensen delivered a pointed message backing Clark as the Fever star's record-setting run builds a legitimate case that's getting harder and harder to dismiss.
And speaking of that rookie standard, a corrected stat claim involving Olivia Miles only reinforced just how untouchable Clark's assists record really is. The fact that a mistaken comparison made headlines at all tells you everything about the impossibly high bar Clark set in her first season. That record is not going anywhere anytime soon.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
