    After owning the White Sox for almost 50 years, chairman Jerry Reinsdorf says he plans to sell the controlling interest in the baseball team to the Ishbia family after 2029. And MLB commissioner Rob Manfred says robo umps might get called up to the big leagues in 2026. FOS’s Eric Fisher explains how the automated ball-strike system would work next season.

    Plus, NBA reporter Jared Greenberg joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington to preview Game 1 of the Finals between the Thunder and Pacers, Tyrese Haliburton drops his new Puma Hali 1 sneakers, and soccer analyst Susannah Collins previews the FIFA Club World Cup.
