MLB Opens Season With MLBPA, Ohtani, and Ownership Dramas

MLB opening day is here. It is also David Rubenstein’s first full day as Orioles’ owner, and the Washington Post’s Chelsea Janes expects he will alter the futures of the O’s and the Washington Nationals, with whom the Orioles are locked in a years-long legal dispute. Janes also provides her perspective on the turmoil at the MLBPA, the Shohei Ohtani scandal, and who will win the World Series.

Plus, March Madness is breaking viewership records and more are likely to fall, NCAA president Charlie Baker wants to ban prop bets on college athletes, and the Marlins are offering all-you-can-eat snacks.
