Good morning and welcome to another edition of Free Agent! Don't forget to take your absolutely enormous bunny to a baseball game this season.
Apologies if you were looking for a safe space from worrying about tariffs and the stock markets, but that's our lead story today—fans (or haters) of the A's, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, Manchester United, and New York Knicks will be especially interested. We'll also talk about hockey's GOATS, Formula 1 regulations, and a kids baseball video game.
But first, a final update on the Reason Friends and Family Bracket Contest. Many congratulations to the Florida Gators and Connecticut Huskies on their titles. In the men's bracket pool, none other than John Stossel beat out the competition. Between 19 Emmy Awards, five awards from the National Press Club, and a Reason Friends and Family Bracket Contest championship, Stossel has accumulated quite the trophy cabinet. On the women's side, Jimmy Kline won by continuing his aforementioned miracle run, missing just one team in the Elite Eight and predicting the tournament perfectly from then on.
