The Arte era is OVER. Breaking news that caught many of us by surprise. LA Rams owner Stan Kroenke has agreed to buy the Angels from Arte Moreno for BIG money.

(12:50) What a catch by Colton Cowser!

(14:37) Kete Marte is back with D’backs and the home fans let him hear it. Was his apology sufficient?

(35:29) Jacob deGrom did his thing to keep the Rangers in the mix.

(40:30) Oof, that Mariners loss. Are they toast? What happened to this team?

(53:04) Jazz and some Yankees had words for Red Sox broadcaster Will Flemming.

(55:43) Let's learn about some major prospects call-ups: Young Padres catcher Ethan Salas and Mariners slugger Lázaro Montes. We also quickly hit that 3-homer game for Alex Bregman.

After a no-show in Boston and a stint on the 10-day injured list, Ketel Marte addressed his D-backs teammates and the media for the first time on Monday. What stood out about Marte's comments on his first day back with the team? And what did manager Torey Lovullo say about it?

This is a special episode of Snakes Territory, part of the FT Network :)

Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks lost a forgettable game to the Philadelphia Phillies in which they went hitless with runners in scoring position and left 11 men on base. What went wrong for the offense?

A Dominican prospect who secured a $2.8M pre-deal was found to be two years older in an age-fraud plot that involved a fake death. Yes, seriously.

(9:17) Tarik Skubal took his espresso machine from the Tigers. It was not a gift!

(11:09) Jack Harris of the California Post discussed Shohei Ohtani’s future on the mound and whether he should just hit the rest of the season for a struggling Dodgers lineup that at times “looks exhausted.”
