An aggressive trade deadline concludes for the Phillies, Padres, Mariners, and Major League Baseball. One of the biggest sellers, the Twins, not only moved on from 40% of their roster, but they are also in the process of selling the franchise. FOS deals reporter and Asset Class newsletter writer Ben Horney breaks down the details as the longtime owner, the Pohlad family, tries to sell the team.

Meanwhile, a new multisports event known as the Enhanced Games is expected to debut in May 2026 in Las Vegas, featuring swimming, track and field, and weightlifting. It also allows athletes to use performance-enhancing substances without being subject to drug tests. American swimmer Megan Romano has been announced as one of its featured athletes, and she joins to discuss details of the league, the impact of PEDs on recovery, and how she got involved in the new venture.

And with the start of the NFL preseason, we are also getting deeper into NFL contract discussions for key players. NFL insider Lake Lewis Jr. weighs in on the latest around Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin and his trade request.
