The biggest news of the day was the announcement the team has sold a portion of the club to a local guy. Matt Gelb went into what it’ll mean in the future for them, but for me, the biggest thing is that Middleton was so up front about his intentions with the team.

The new owner doesn’t have enough of a percentage to really be able to outrank Middleton, but he’ll still have a voice. What was nice to see is that the plan is to continue to run payrolls near the top of the sport, something they plan on continuing into the future.
