John Angelos has agreed to sell the Baltimore Orioles to a group led by Carlyle Group Inc. co-founder David Rubenstein, according to multiple reports on Tuesday.

The transaction reportedly values the Orioles at $1.725 billion.

Rubenstein, a Baltimore native, reportedly will take over as the team's controlling owner. He has assembled an investment team that includes Ares co-founder Michael Arougheti.

Major League Baseball still must approve the sale. Owners are scheduled to meet next week in Orlando, Florida.

Jimy Williams, who won 910 games as a major league manager and was the 1999 American League Manager of the Year, has died at the age of 80.

The Boston Red Sox said he died in Florida after a brief illness.

"Jimy Williams was a true staple and leader of the Red Sox," the team said in a post to X.

The Oakland Athletics were given approval from Major League Baseball and the players' association to receive revenue sharing money this year even if a binding agreement to construct a ballpark in Las Vegas was not in place by the Monday deadline specified in the sport's collective bargaining agreement, according to a Las Vegas official.

Bud Harrelson, the scrappy and sure-handed shortstop who fought Pete Rose on the field during a playoff game and helped the New York Mets win an astonishing championship, died early Thursday morning. He was 79.

The Mets said Thursday morning that Harrelson died at a hospice house in East Northport, New York, after a long battle with Alzheimer's. He was diagnosed in 2016 and publicly shared his struggle two years later, hoping he and his family could help others afflicted.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office determined Tuesday that it will not file felony charges against former Dodgers pitcher Julio Urias following his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence, writing in its charge-evaluation worksheet that "neither the victim's injuries nor the defendant's criminal history justify a felony filing."

The case now will move to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office for misdemeanor filing considerations.

Wander Franco was released from a jail in the Dominican Republic on Monday amid an ongoing investigation into allegations he had a relationship with a 14-year-old girl.

Franco paid 2 million Dominican pesos ($34,000) as a deposit required by a judge who on Friday ordered his conditional release.

While the Tampa Bay Rays shortstop is free to leave the Dominican Republic, he was ordered to appear monthly before authorities as the investigation continues.

Franco, 22, is accused of commercial sexual exploitation and money laundering, with prosecutors alleging he paid the teen's mother thousands of dollars and gave her a car in exchange for her consent.

A judge on Friday ordered the conditional release of Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco while he is investigated for allegations he had a relationship with a 14-year-old girl and gave her mother a car and thousands of dollars in exchange for her consent, according to court documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The judge said Franco is allowed to leave the Dominican Republic but must return once a month to meet with authorities. He also was ordered to pay 2 million Dominican pesos ($34,000) as a type of deposit as the investigation continues.

Former Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer said he would "love a second opportunity to do things better" and make a return to Major League Baseball after sexual assault allegations halted his career, leading to a long suspension and eventual release from the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Bauer, who played baseball in Japan last year, told FOX News on Thursday that he was "reckless" and "made a lot of mistakes along the way." He has not pitched in the majors since June 2021, when a San Diego-area woman accused him of sexually assaulting her. Allegations from two other women followed, and Bauer was given a 324-game suspension that eventually was reduced by an arbitrator to 194 games. The Dodgers released him in January 2023.

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was arrested Monday in his native Dominican Republic after being interviewed by prosecutors investigating him for alleged inappropriate relationships with minors, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Franco appeared before prosecutors while accompanied by two lawyers, days after not showing up for a meeting with prosecutor Olga Diná Llaverías, a source confirmed to ESPN. Monday's interview lasted nearly three hours, according to The Associated Press.
