The MLB Draft wrapped up this past weekend, with the Giants using the fourth overall pick on Bay Area native Jackson Flora, a right-hander from UC Santa Barbara who grew up a Giants fan. San Francisco also added pitchers Carson Bolemon, Kaden Waechter and Carlos Martinez, plus Rutgers outfielder Peyton Bonds.

The Mariners took Mississippi State power bat Ace Reese at number 24, then added OF Jake Brown, RHP Nathan Taylor and 3B Trevor Lucas.

 

NFL:

The Seattle Seahawks are set for new ownership.

The estate of Paul Allen has reached a formal agreement to sell the franchise to an ownership group led by the Khosla family, including tech investor Vinod Khosla.

The reported price is about nine point six billion dollars, which would be an NFL record.

The Khosla family says it wants to build on the winning legacy Allen created.

The sale still needs approval from NFL owners in the months ahead.
