NYPD searches for suspect who threw furniture at 90-year-old woman on sidewalk
Police are searching for a suspect after a 90-year-old woman was attacked while walking along a Brooklyn sidewalk earlier this week, with surveillance video obtained by a local news station appearing to capture the violent encounter.
The assault happened around 9:47 a.m. Monday outside 501 Brighton Beach Ave. in the Brighton Beach neighborhood, according to the New York City Police Department (NYPD).
Police said the woman was walking when an unidentified man approached and threw a piece of furniture at her, causing her to fall to the ground before fleeing on foot in an unknown direction.
Surveillance video obtained by News 12 appears to show the suspect pushing what looks like a discarded baby crib filled with debris along the sidewalk before suddenly lifting it and throwing it at the elderly woman as she walks past. The impact knocks the woman to the pavement as the suspect appears to calmly continue walking away.
Emergency medical personnel responded to the scene and transported the woman to NYC Health + Hospitals/Coney Island, where she was listed in stable condition, police said.

Police have not identified a motive for the attack, and it was not immediately clear whether the suspect and victim knew each other.
The suspect remains at large.
The NYPD released a photo of the man investigators are seeking. He is described as wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt, black pants and white sneakers at the time of the attack.
Anyone with information about the suspect's identity or whereabouts is asked to contact the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). Tips can also be submitted online through the Crime Stoppers website or by messaging @NYPDTips on X. Police said all calls and tips will be kept confidential.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the NYPD for additional information about the investigation.
Filmmaker cheers death of Bank of America executive with Luigi Mangione meme
German-Palestinian-American filmmaker Lexi Alexander pushed an X post appearing to cheer the death of Bank of America executive Erin Piacenti Tuesday, referencing accused UnitedHealthcare CEO assassin Luigi Mangione.
Piacenti was identified as the victim of a deadly stabbing in New York City’s Times Square Monday, when a woman carrying a knife also wounded another person before police shot and killed the suspect.
Piacenti was in her first week back at Bank of America after spending five months caring for her newborn daughter.
In response to the news, Alexander, who directed the 2005 drama "Green Street Hooligans" and the 2008 film "Punisher: War Zone," reposted a headline of the report alongside an image of Batman staring up at a bat signal that was replaced with Mangione's face.
HASAN PIKER SPARKS BACKLASH WITH LUIGI MANGIONE REMARKS, CLAIMS SLAIN CEO ENGAGED IN 'SOCIAL MURDER'
The post has since been labeled as containing "sensitive content," though it is still available on her account.
Alexander also dismissed critics of her post, suggesting they were part of a "hasbara," an Israeli public relations operation.
"Hasbara bots out in full swing just like the first time we asked people to boycott BofA," Alexander wrote, linking to an article citing Bank of America's previous support for Israel.
In another X post, Alexander retweeted a woman saying she "didn't care" about Piacenti's death and faced death threats from "Zionists" as a result.
"They released the hasbara bot farm just like the first time when we asked people to boycott Bofa. Israel doesn't care about the woman who got killed, they care about the positive rating Bofa gave them in the middle of a genocide. There is huge money at stake," Alexander wrote in response on Wednesday.
Fox News Digital reached out to Alexander for comment.
Alexander's response to Piacenti's death resembled the surprising wave of support Mangione received after he allegedly killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in 2024.
Journalist and New York Post contributor Douglas Murray remarked on the rise of Americans, particularly far-left Americans, justifying violence after the killings of Thompson and Charlie Kirk during an appearance on "America’s Newsroom" in 2025.
BILL MAHER TORCHES FAR-LEFT ASSASSINATION CULTURE AFTER STRING OF HIGH-PROFILE ATTACKS
"So many people have made excuses for him when it's really a very straightforward case," Murray said. "Do people have the right, or should they be justified, in taking things into their own hands and murdering other Americans in cold blood on the street? Yes or no?
"We also have to address this question of why so many people, including some prominent politicians in this country, have made excuses for the use of violence."
Police are still investigating a motive behind the knife attack, though authorities and family members noted the suspect had a history of mental illness.
Brooke Shields makes a splash in black swimsuit during action-packed Croatia trip
Brooke Shields found her "highlight of the summer" on an adventure-filled getaway to Croatia.
The 61-year-old actress and model shared highlights from a trip with friends, including Chelsea Handler, that took her from the streets of Croatia to waterfalls and the open water.
Shields kicked off the Instagram carousel with a striking photo of herself sitting beside a rushing waterfall in a black strapless one-piece swimsuit.
HEATHER GRAHAM SIZZLES IN WHITE BIKINI DURING SOUTH OF FRANCE GETAWAY
Soaked from the rushing water, Shields sat back on a moss-covered rock with her legs stretched out in front of her, closing her eyes and lifting her face toward the sun. Her dark hair was slicked back as she finished the strapless black swimsuit look with a gold chain necklace and bracelets.
"Highlight of the summer: the most amazing trip to Croatia with the best people 🇭🇷😍🏝️," Shields captioned the Instagram post.

Another photo captured Shields enjoying a sunny day on the water with Handler and another friend.
Shields stretched out on a wooden swim platform attached to a boat while wearing the same black one-piece. Handler, 51, sat nearby in a turquoise swimsuit, while another woman smiled from the water in a red bikini top and patterned bottoms.

The longtime friends appeared to make the most of their time together throughout the trip.
Shields and Handler have been friends for years. The two previously appeared on each other's podcasts and spoke candidly about their lives and relationships.
Away from the water, Shields traded her swimsuit for a bright yellow dress while exploring Croatia with Handler.
The "Pretty Baby" star paired the loose-fitting dress with a wide-brimmed straw hat, layered necklaces and a brown belt. Handler stood beside her in a white button-down shirt, patterned skirt, navy baseball cap and dark sunglasses as the two smiled for the camera on a busy street.

Shields wasn't afraid to get adventurous during the getaway either.
In a video included in the carousel, she jumped from the edge of a rushing waterfall into the water below while wearing her black one-piece.
Fans filled the comments with praise for both Shields and her picturesque destination.
"Croatia is beautiful 😍," one person wrote.
"Brooke Shields The most beautiful in the world😍😍," another commented.
"What a fun trip! ❤️," another fan added.
One commenter joked about Shields' waterfall excursion, writing, "So that’s the fountain of youth you’ve been using!"
The carefree vacation comes months after Shields reflected on the work she has done to remain grounded after spending virtually her entire life in the public eye.
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
During a July 2026 conversation with Oprah Winfrey for Oprah Daily, Shields spoke about navigating fame since beginning her modeling career as a baby.
"You either become a victim to it, and you resent it, and then you get angry, and you get bitter," Shields said, "or you say, ‘OK, how can I not be devoured by this? How can I surround myself with people who are grounded?’"
Shields said maintaining that sense of normalcy became particularly important when she became a mother to daughters Rowan and Grier with husband Chris Henchy.
"How can I stay as grounded as possible to be the kind of mom for my daughters that it would very easily be derailed in this industry?" she told Winfrey.
Shields' own relationship with her mother, Teri, was far more complicated. Teri raised Shields as a single mother and managed her career from childhood. Shields told Winfrey the two became so intertwined that there was little room for her to develop an independent identity.

"There was so much love, but then you couple that with the industry that we were in," Shields said. "She protected me fiercely."
The actress also reflected on how years of therapy have helped her distinguish her own voice from the influence of her late mother and longtime manager.
"Luckily, I hear — I’ve worked so hard on myself — to hear my own voice in my head first," Shields said. "And that’s years of working on it and therapy and thinking about it and talking about it and making myself sort of freer from this."
DHS boss reveals Oval Office plan to 'withhold funding' from sanctuary cities after aggressive New York bust
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said Tuesday the White House is exploring legal ways to withhold federal funding from sanctuary states and cities that refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement.
Speaking on "The Ingraham Angle," Mullin highlighted the arrests of more than 2,100 illegal immigrants in New York and said Immigration and Customs Enforcement will continue deportations despite local sanctuary restrictions.
"Literally 20 minutes ago, I was sitting in the Oval Office of the president, and we were having this conversation about how do we withhold funding legally from these sanctuary cities," Mullin told host Laura Ingraham.
GOP SENATORS RALLY AROUND NEW DHS PROPOSAL TARGETING SANCTUARY CITIES: 'SHOULD PAY A PRICE'
"Why are we allowing these sanctuary cities to still get funding from the federal government when it comes to, let's say, their airport, when we're processing immigration through these international airports? Why would we be processing immigration policies and immigrants into our state or into a city that is a sanctuary state or sanctuary city? It doesn't make any sense to me."
DHS has launched several deportation operations since President Donald Trump began his second term, most recently in New York with an operation dubbed Rotten Apple. Mullin said the operation resulted in more than 2,100 arrests, including people accused of murder, rape, child sexual abuse and drug trafficking.
DHS SECRETARY BASHES NEW YORK LEADERSHIP AFTER ANNOUNCING THOUSANDS OF ARRESTS IN SWEEPING OPERATION
The DHS secretary told Fox News Trump and administration officials are looking at ways to withhold federal funding from sanctuary cities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
"President Trump is looking for ways. He had other people that were in the Oval Office with me talking about how can we hold federal funding from these sanctuary cities that are refusing to just simply do one thing: uphold the law of the land," Mullin said, adding that he and immigration agents "don’t pick and choose which laws to enforce."
"I enforce the laws that Congress passed. But Congress and these other liberal politicians, these sanctuary cities and sanctuary states are the ones that are griping the loudest about the work that my [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents are doing every day," he added.
According to DHS, one of the illegal immigrants arrested during the New York operation was a Ukrainian national with convictions for kidnapping, abduction resulting in death, criminal possession of a weapon and murder. DHS said another suspect from Colombia had previously been arrested for "course of sexual conduct against a child" and acting "in a manner to injure a child less than 17."
George Kittle, Nick Bosa make the flight as 49ers head to Australia for historic opener: reports
The San Francisco 49ers are on their way to Australia to participate in the first-ever NFL game on the continent against their NFC West foe, the Los Angeles Rams, to kick off the 2026 season.
And two specific passengers have fans hopeful heading into next week’s matchup down under.
Tight end George Kittle and defensive end Nick Bosa, two very important pieces of Kyle Shanahan’s roster, made the trip with the rest of the team, according to multiple reports.

This is encouraging considering both have been dealing with their own recovery from injury.
Kittle suffered a torn Achilles in the Wild Card Round against the Philadelphia Eagles on Jan. 11, while Bosa tore his ACL in Week 3 last season. Bosa, specifically, has been battling tendinitis for most of the 49ers’ training camp.
NFL COMMISSIONER ROGER GOODELL CONFIRMS LEAGUE WANTS MULTIPLE TEAMS BASED OUTSIDE THE US: 'NO DOUBT'
Camp has not been at all pleasant for the 49ers in terms of depth, as multiple players have been dealing with injury, including new wide receiver Mike Evans and fullback Kyle Juszczyk on top of Kittle and Bosa. San Fran also lost wide receiver Ricky Pearsall to a PCL injury.
But with Kittle and Bosa heading out to Australia, it could mean that reinforcements are on the way to start the regular season.
"I would assume so," Kittle said last month when asked if traveling to Australia would indicate whether or not he’s playing in the game. "I mean, that probably makes the most sense. I would assume."
After practicing on Wednesday, the 49ers took flight to Australia, where they’re expected to land on Friday due to the 17-hour time difference. It’s that time difference that the 49ers are making sure players get accustomed to it before they take on the Rams on Sept. 10 at 8:35 p.m. ET.
For both teams, it will actually be Friday morning at 10:35 a.m. That’s when kickoff will take place at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
In the days leading up to it, the availability of Kittle, Bosa and the rest of the 49ers should become clear as they hold practices and gear up for a team many believe are Super Bowl favorites this season. The Rams returned MVP quarterback Matthew Stafford, though nobody saw Aaron Donald coming out of retirement to join Myles Garrett on the defensive line after the Defensive Player of the Year was traded for with the Cleveland Browns.
Rogan shreds supporters of Lindsay Clancy, says they wouldn't rally if a father were on trial for same crime
Podcaster Joe Rogan scorched the supporters of Lindsay Clancy, who is on trial for murdering her three children, on the "Joe Rogan Experience" Tuesday.
Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse from Duxbury, Massachusetts, is on trial for killing her three young children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan — at the family's home Jan. 24, 2023.
She faces three counts of first-degree murder. Clancy does not dispute that she killed her children but argues she was suffering from postpartum psychosis at the time and is not criminally responsible.
One of the most salient aspects of the trial is how many women have rallied on social media and formed groups to gather and share support for Clancy or suggest conspiracy theories about her case.
Rogan responded, "This lady killed her kids and everyone's like, ‘Oh my God, she needed help.’ Imagine if a single father killed his kids. Do you think there'd be any dads out there? ‘We get it. We understand. I also get sad!’"
He also blasted Clancy’s supporters, saying, "If those ladies could see the crime scene and see those dead kids with their f---ing vacant eyes staring up because their mother took their life, the last f---ing thing that they saw was their mother standing over them, choking them to death, I don't think they would feel so bad."
Rogan lamented the state of modern politics and the world in general, saying this controversy and the social media phenomenon around it is yet another news story that is absurd beyond belief.
"People are out of their f---ing mind right now. She's out of her f---ing mind. The world is out of its f---ing mind. It's like more of these things come up where you're like, ‘This can't be real. This can't be real.’ And it is real," he said.
"More of these things where, like, people are showing up in support of a woman who killed her children. I don't care how rough it was. The ability to kill your children is crazy."
Rogan contrasted this sentiment from Clancy's supporters to the common understanding that parents would do anything to protect their children from harm.
LINDSAY CLANCY’S PARENTS GET MASSIVE GLOBAL DONOR SUPPORT AS FUNDRAISER SURPASSES $830K
Later on in the podcast, Rogan argued there is a growing radicalization of people, particularly among childless liberal women, that cannot be ignored.
"I don't want to generalize, but it seems like it's Republicans too, but it's a lot of liberal women," Rogan said. "Liberal women with no children want to turn the world into their children. They want to, like, scold the world like they're doing the wrong thing, and they're worried about the environment.
"And they're worried about the future. And they're worried about voting. And they're worried about rights. And they're worried about immigrants. They're worried about this, and they're worried about that. They're taking care of the world like it's the child that they don't have."
Fox News Digital spoke to various experts about Rogan’s comments.
Dr. Josef Witt-Doerring, a board-certified psychiatrist and CEO and medical director of TaperClinic, warned that social media popularity indeed has added a grim spectacle to this case.
"Rogan is right about one thing: People can turn cases like this into teams. That is not healthy. Lindsay Clancy should not be treated like a hero or celebrity. Three children died. And some of the TikTok commentary around this case is just dumb. People are defending her for reasons that have nothing to do with the evidence or acting as if her husband must somehow be the real villain," Witt-Doerring said.
"That is ignorant and deplorable. It reminds me of the Luigi Mangione case, where people rushed to turn someone into a symbol before they even understood the facts. If you are going to defend Lindsay, defend her based on the actual medical and legal evidence, not because of some viral narrative.
"I think this is where a lot of people misunderstand what the support for Lindsay actually represents. They see a few extreme voices online and assume that is what everyone supporting her believes. Most women supporting Lindsay are not saying, 'It’s OK that she killed her children.' They are saying the postpartum period can be extremely hard, and many women understand the anxiety, lack of sleep, financial stress and pressure to return to work.
"They are also angry at a mental health system that often seems to rely too much on medication. Lindsay was prescribed 13 different psychiatric drugs in the months before the deaths, and there is evidence that those medications may have played a role in making her worse. Would a father get the same sympathy?
"Probably less. But if a father came home from war, became depressed, trusted his doctors, was put on drugs that pushed him into psychosis and killed someone while unable to understand what he was doing, I would make the same argument for him.
"I also think it is wrong to say that if Lindsay is found NGRI [not guilty by reason of insanity] then anyone with mental illness can commit a crime and avoid prison. That is not how it works," he said, adding that cases like Clancy's are "rare, extreme cases."

Mary Marslender, a former GOP consultant, agreed with Rogan that there is a clear double standard regarding how a man would be treated in a similar case.
"Joe Rogan is spot on. Would there be a supporter rally for a father who committed the same act? Of course not. If a man mapped how long his wife would be gone, sent her out for takeout and then violently strangled his three children in the basement, no one would be posting 'I am him,'" Marslender said.
"There would be no GoFundMe campaign framed as solidarity. He would be labeled a monster, and these same women in pink would be the first to condemn him. The double standard is not a surprise; it is the hypocrisy of feminism."
Marslender concluded, "It is possible to acknowledge that Clancy was ill and that our psychiatric system is deeply flawed, while also refusing to idolize someone who brutally killed her own children. This is not a story of misplaced compassion; it’s one of deep moral confusion.
"These children were not merely statistics or a talking point; they were a 5-year-old, a 3-year-old and a baby. A movement that needs to be reminded of these children’s humanity clearly is not to society’s benefit."
2 police officers among 'multiple victims' shot in downtown Minneapolis
Two police officers were among multiple people shot Wednesday after gunfire rang out in downtown Minneapolis that left at least one person dead and six injured, officials said.
Minneapolis police officers were at the scene of the shooting, which involved "multiple victims," the city said, including the two law enforcement officers. The officers were shot in the shin and abdomen, sources told Fox News.
Their conditions were unclear.
The suspected shooter was "down," sources said.
In total, seven patients were brought to a nearby hospital, the Hennepin Healthcare Medical Center told Fox News Digital.
The shooting triggered a large police presence.
"My public safety team is responding to a shooting that took place downtown Minneapolis this afternoon," Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz wrote on X. "State officials are on the ground to support local law enforcement and we will share more information as it becomes available."
In a subsequent post, Walz thanked law enforcement for "working to ensure the safety of our neighbors" in the area.
"Minnesota is praying for our first responders," he wrote. Another states: "Pray for Minnesota."

FBI Director Kash Patel said he was aware of the shooting and that the agency will offer any resources necessary to assist local authorities.
Amy Klobuchar, the Democratic nominee in the Minnesota governor's race, said she spoke with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey about the "horrific shootings."

Burning Man murder mystery deepens as new details emerge 1 year after desert festival killing
A year after a man was found stabbed to death inside a tent at Burning Man — the annual weeklong art and music festival in Nevada's Black Rock Desert — his killer remains at large, and investigators still cannot account for the final hours before his death.
Vadim Kruglov, a 37-year-old Russian-born man who had been living in Washington state, was discovered in a pool of blood at the wild festival at about 9:15 p.m. on Aug. 30, 2025, as the iconic "Man" burned. And with this year's event already underway after kicking off Sunday and scheduled to conclude on Labor Day, no arrests have been made.
But new details about the killing and Kruglov's final days are now emerging through KTLA and a yearlong investigation by SFGATE, which interviewed more than 80 people connected to Kruglov, or the sprawling desert festival which draws up to 80,000 people known as "burners."
Investigators said that they believe Kruglov was killed inside the red-and-white tent where his body was found, Pershing County Sheriff's Sgt. Nathan Carmichael told SFGATE.
BURNING MAN HOMIICIDE UNSOLVED AS WITNESS REPORTEDLY RECALLS CHILLING ENCOUNTER
A knife remained lodged in his neck, and an autopsy found no defensive wounds, suggesting he had little or no chance to fight back, according to the outlet.
"When you get stabbed in the manner that he was, you’re going to be out in seconds," Carmichael told SFGATE.
The weapon was recovered at the scene and yielded several DNA profiles, then-Pershing County Detective Josh Nicholson told SFGATE.
Kruglov's cellphone was also recovered, but had not been unlocked at the time of Nicholson's interview, the outlet reported.
OHIO MAN FOUND SHOT DEAD IN EXECUTION-STYLE KILLING WHILE CAMPING ON PUERTO RICO BEACH: REPORTS
One of the largest unanswered questions centers on the roughly four hours before Kruglov was found.
Black Rock Rangers — fellow burners who assist others in need — reportedly took him to Rampart, a temporary hospital on the festival grounds, where he spent much of Aug. 30, and received medical care, Nicholson told SFGATE.
He was released at about 5 p.m., but investigators have not publicly accounted for his movements between then and 9:14 p.m., when he was discovered with the fatal neck wound.
Earlier that morning, at about 2 a.m., Kruglov had reportedly been seen DJing with two men at a camp on the outskirts of the festival, not far from where his body would later be found.
SELF-DESTRUCTING PHONE CODE SPARKS FEDERAL CASE
Authorities have not identified those men, despite receiving hundreds of tips, according to KTLA.
Friends and campmates also described troubling behavior in the days before Kruglov's death. They told SFGATE that he became increasingly paranoid after using cocaine and what may have been methamphetamine, at one point saying people were watching him and wanted him out of the camp.
One campmate, Alex Barnov, told the outlet he believed Kruglov's paranoia was drug-induced and said Kruglov appeared fine after waking the next day.
Another campmate said Kruglov was focused on getting an Apple AirTag to work on Aug. 29, so others could track him, though the remote location made the device difficult to use, according to SFGATE.
$600 MILLION WORTH OF HEROIN, METH AND OTHER SEIZED DRUGS SET ON FIRE IN BURMA
Kruglov's death unfolded as tens of thousands of festivalgoers gathered for the burning of "The Man," the signature spectacle at the annual nine-day gathering dedicated to art, community and self-expression.
His death marked the first known homicide in Burning Man’s history, Carmichael told SFGATE.
A man initially alerted a deputy after finding Kruglov on the ground, according to the Pershing County Sheriff's Office. Authorities secured the area and established a perimeter while the celebration continued around them.
An anonymous witness later told The Hollywood Reporter that she and her partner were leaving Black Rock City when an older woman in a red dress flagged them down and calmly said a man inside her tent was "bleeding out and might be dead." The woman reportedly said she had not checked his pulse because she "didn’t want to touch him."
WITNESSES RECOUNT 'SCARY' NYC STABBING AFTER SUSPECT ALLEGEDLY YELLED 'ALLAHU AKBAR' DURING ATTACKS
The group contacted a Black Rock Ranger using Starlink, and the information was relayed to law enforcement, the witness said.
Kruglov, who was originally from Omsk, Siberia, was identified through fingerprints by the Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner's Office days after the killing.
His father, Igor Kruglov, later released an emotional video from Russia calling for justice.
"Words can’t express my feelings," he said. "I’m proud of my son, now known worldwide. He felt injustice deeply and fought for fairness always. I believe a similar situation occurred here. I want those responsible to face consequences."
In the days after the killing, the sheriff's office appealed for any information that could identify a suspect in what it called a "heinous crime."
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Pershing County Sheriff's Office.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Pershing County Sheriff's Office for an update on the investigation and Washoe County Regional Medical Examiner's Office but did not immediately receive a response.

Stan Kroenke's record-setting LA Angels purchase should make longterm MLB lockout less likely
If there were any remaining doubts as to the viability and earning potential of Major League Baseball teams, this week's news should end it.
Out of seemingly nowhere, Stan Kroenke, one of the wealthiest people in America, agreed to purchase a majority stake in the Los Angeles Angels from longtime owner Arte Moreno. It had been rumored in recent years that Moreno was considering a sale, but a deal never materialized. Until now.
The price Kroenke paid for the Angels was estimated at a record-breaking $4 billion, representing an enormous return for Moreno who purchased the franchise for just over $180 million from the Walt Disney Company back in 2003. It was also, at first glance, a significant price for an organization that has the longest postseason drought in baseball. Despite having Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani on the same roster for several seasons, the Angels have not reached the playoffs since 2014.
ARTE MORENO ERA OFFICIALLY OVER AS ANGELS SELL TO RAMS OWNER STAN KROENKE FOR $4B
The immediate question, then, is why? Why would Kroenke, an eminently talented and successful businessman who's already principal owner of organizations like the Los Angeles Rams, Arsenal FC and the Denver Nuggets, now turn his attention to, well, the polar opposite?
And the answer explains why so much of the information coming from Major League Baseball and the league's owners is misleading, at best.
With the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the league and MLB Players Association expiring at the end of the season, it's widely expected that the owners will lock the players out until a new deal can be reached. The largest point of contention between the two sides is disagreement over a potential salary cap.
Players have, for decades, said a salary cap is a red line they will never accept. While owners are hoping to take advantage of widespread, and inaccurate, fan sentiment believing that a salary cap is necessary for the league to achieve competitive balance.
Another key aspect of their argument is that the business of baseball is not as strong as it should be. That franchise valuations have lagged behind the NFL because that league has a salary cap, ensuring relatively fixed costs for players. As well as that the collapse of the local sports television networks have negatively impacted their bottom lines.
Here's the problem with that, though: there have been two MLB organizations to sell in 2026: the San Diego Padres and now the Angels. Both set records for the largest ever purchase price of an MLB team, and neither organization has a local broadcast partner, like say, the Dodgers do with Spectrum SportsNet LA or the Yankees do with YES. If the loss in revenue from those television deals was so catastrophic, why are these two organizations worth so much money?
MLBPA Interim Executive Director Bruce Meyer told OutKick that it shows the "overall health" of the industry is outstanding and that owners are realizing "huge profits."
"Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 for $183.5 million, and now the team is in the middle of the longest playoff drought in MLB, with 11 consecutive losing seasons," Meyer said. "Despite that record — and Moreno’s complaints about profitability — yesterday, Moreno sold the team to Stan Kroenke for at least a record $4 billion, netting a multibillion-dollar return on his purchase. It's a perfect example of the overall health of the industry, and the huge profits owners realize from owning baseball teams—value which is generated by the talents of players."
Kroenke's not one to make bad investments, nor one to rush to judgment on a $4 billion purchase. So why'd he do it? Because, as Meyer says, baseball is booming.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
The Angels are a potential gold mine waiting to be taken advantage of by competent ownership. Even without a competitive team, for more than a decade, the Angels still rank 13th in baseball in average attendance with nearly 33,000 tickets sold per game. Already, reports have suggested Kroenke intends to build a brand new, multi-billion dollar stadium to take advantage of a fanbase ready and willing to support a winning team.
Trout, the long-suffering franchise icon, said as much.
"I'm excited," he said Tuesday after the news broke. "Look, the track record — it's there."
"Seeing the reaction from the fans and some of the guys and the whole vibe, I think it was needed for a fresh start," he continued. "The biggest thing is getting that feeling of getting that winning culture back and having that vibe in the clubhouse."
This is a sleeping giant in the nation's second-largest media market. The Padres down the road sell out most of their games. A more appropriately-run Angels team could be next.
Then there's the real estate investment component. Angel Stadium sits on a massive, underdeveloped parking lot. Kroenke is almost certainly looking to tear up that wasted concrete and build mixed-use development nearby. Shops, restaurants, townhomes, apartments, condos, you name it. Build a ballpark village next to a brand new facility, and people will come.
This model has already been demonstrated by The Battery, a Braves-owned development next to Truist Park in the Atlanta area. New York Mets owner Steve Cohen intends to build a casino on underutilized land next to Citi Field. Billionaire owners are capitalizing on their baseball franchises to create real estate portfolios that rely on fans from those teams.
That's well within their rights, of course, and it's smart business. It also can create a better experience for fans, who can come to the ballpark earlier or stay afterward with friends and family. The problem from the players' perspective is that when the league says they want to base a salary cap on the revenue they bring in, they exclude this ancillary, connected, income from the calculation.
Kroenke bought the Angels for a gigantic price because he doesn't care whether a salary cap happens or not. None of the owners care about a salary cap, at least as it pertains to competitive balance. They want to limit spending on players and retain more profits. That's it.
They claim their businesses are struggling. That they're losing money and don't turn enough yearly profit. But their exploding franchise values keep undermining those claims and proving that the opposite is true. Even the 53-86 Angels, on pace for their first ever 100 loss season, are worth a fortune. That's the truth, regardless of what they say to win fan support.
Lindsay Clancy jury recap: Day 5 ends with no verdict after rare instruction
The jury in Lindsay Clancy's murder trial spent a fifth day deliberating Wednesday, reported for a second time that it was deadlocked, received a rare instruction from the judge urging jurors to keep working toward a verdict and ultimately went home without reaching a unanimous decision.
The latest developments brought the closely watched Massachusetts murder trial a step closer to the possibility of a mistrial, though jurors are scheduled to return Thursday to continue deliberating.
The panel of nine women and three men resumed deliberations Wednesday after telling Plymouth Superior Court Judge William Sullivan a day earlier that it could not unanimously agree on a verdict.
When jurors again reported they remained deadlocked Wednesday, Sullivan delivered a Tuey-Rodriguez charge, a formal instruction encouraging them to continue deliberating while reminding them not to abandon honestly held beliefs simply to reach a unanimous verdict.
Jurors continued deliberating for several more hours after receiving the instruction before Sullivan dismissed them for the day without a verdict.
Named for two Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decisions, the Tuey-Rodriguez charge encourages jurors to carefully consider one another's views while preserving sincerely held convictions. It is generally considered the final procedural step before a judge may declare a mistrial if jurors remain unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
"The reasoning is that it often works," retired Massachusetts Superior Court Judge Thomas Drechsler previously told Fox News Digital. "It encourages the jurors to rethink their own feelings in light of what other jurors feel, reminds them that no one's ever going to be in a better position to decide this than them."
But if jurors again report they are deadlocked after receiving the instruction, Drechsler said, "I think there's a high likelihood that it will end up in a mistrial."
The jury must determine whether Clancy was criminally responsible when she killed her three children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan — inside the family's Duxbury, Massachusetts, home Jan. 24, 2023.
LINDSAY CLANCY VERDICT: RETIRED JUDGE EXPLAINS WHAT HAPPENS IF INSANITY DEFENSE PREVAILS
Clancy, 36, a former labor and delivery nurse, does not dispute killing the children. Her defense argues she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and should be found not criminally responsible. Prosecutors contend she carefully planned the killings, knew right from wrong and concealed disturbing thoughts from medical providers because she understood they were wrong.
Wednesday also brought developments outside the courtroom after Dawn Light, the woman accused of filming jurors as they left the courthouse Tuesday, was arraigned on a witness intimidation-related charge. She pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors said a video recovered from her cellphone showed Clancy jurors leaving the courthouse, while Light maintained she was trying to catch a glimpse of Clancy and did not realize she had recorded jurors.
A judge released Light on personal recognizance and ordered her to stay away from the courthouse, have no contact with jurors or witnesses and refrain from sharing any images.
Before jurors resumed deliberations Wednesday morning, Sullivan also reminded those in the courtroom that orders protecting jurors and other participants are "being enforced and will be enforced," though he did not specifically reference Light's arrest.
Jurors will return Thursday to resume deliberations, with the possibility of a mistrial looming if they again report they cannot reach a unanimous verdict.
