Moneyball 2.0: The Brewers?

The Brewers are the top team in baseball by a sizable margin, and they are doing it all with a bottom-third payroll in the league. FOS reporter and Brewers superfan Ryan Glasspiegel explains Milwaukee’s magical moment and how it could inspire other teams in MLB.

Plus, the English Premier League season begins Saturday after a record-setting transfer window, but the league now has 10 American owners—which completely changes how those clubs operate, says football commentator Ben Jacobs. He joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington to preview the upcoming season and offer his champion prediction.

Also, Taylor Swift appears on her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, country club memberships are soaring, and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell addresses ESPN employees about their impending merger with the league.
