News Summary:

On September 17, 2026, the Philadelphia Phillies claimed right-hander Jose Urquidy off waivers from the Chicago White Sox, transferring right-hander Caleb Kilian to the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man roster. Earlier that day, Major League Baseball (MLB) began exploring plans to centralize its media rights, a strategy that could potentially test the boundaries of its unique antitrust exemption under U.S. law, a privilege not extended to other professional sports leagues. Previously, on September 16, the Kansas City Royals' president defended the organization's planned downtown ballpark and a billion-dollar-plus mixed-use development amid lingering public questions regarding the deal’s financial risks, public input, and community impact. That same day, an update regarding Carlos Correa with the Houston Astros further validated the Minnesota Twins' decision to trade him last year, despite some initial fan disapproval over the Twins agreeing to pay a portion of his remaining contract. Also on September 16, the Kansas City Royals selected Mortenson, McCownGordon, and JE Dunn as the team to construct their $3 billion mixed-use development, anchored by a new ballpark at Crown Center.
