Pirates Bet Big on a Teen: Griffin’s $140M Pact Sparks a Week of Weird Baseball

This Weird & Wild column centers on 19-year-old Konnor Griffin signing a nine-year, $140 million contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates—making him the youngest player to land a guaranteed $100M+ deal and signaling a bright future for the franchise. The piece also crowds the page with bizarre MLB moments, from a one-ball walk to a pitcher facing 11 hitters in two innings with no balls put in play, along with other oddities and notable notes (Cabrera’s strong Cubs debut, Mason Miller’s era of dominance, and a Ramirez franchise-games milestone) that underscore baseball’s ongoing blend of drama and the surreal.

WGA Deal Infuses $321M Into Health Plan, Expands AI Licensing Rules

The Writers Guild of America West announced a four-year tentative contract with studios and streamers that includes a $321 million infusion into the union’s health plan, higher residuals and an AI‑licensing framework; minimum payments rise 10.5% over the four years, and the deal shifts $25 million from the Paid Parental Leave fund to the health fund. Health-plan contributions will climb to 16.75% of reported earnings, and starting in 2027 active members face premiums around $75/month with higher deductibles and out‑of‑pocket costs, alongside adjusted coverage. The agreement also establishes an AI-notice requirement for licensing scripts to train generative AI, though writers did not secure direct AI training compensation. The WGA West board and WGA East council approved the deal and members will vote on ratification April 16–24.

Martone Becomes Flyers Rookie, Set for Immediate NHL Debut

Cubs Lock Up PCA on 6-Year, $115M Deal Through 2032

The Chicago Cubs signed center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong to a six-year, $115 million extension starting in 2027, buying out four arbitration years (2027–2030) and two free-agent years (2031–2032) with no club option, effectively keeping PCA in Chicago through 2032; ESPN noted it as the biggest guaranteed extension for a player with five years of club control without an option, and the deal could rise to about $133 million with incentives.

Evans’ Escalator Deal Hinges on Playoff Push and Top-10 Stats

Evans’ Escalator Deal Hinges on Playoff Push and Top-10 Stats

Mike Evans’ three-year contract carries a $42.5 million base with $14.3 million guaranteed in year one and an incentives/escalators package that could push annual pay above $20 million if the 49ers reach the playoffs and Evans finishes in the top 10 in receptions, yards, or receiving touchdowns. The 2027 escalators consist of four $1.5 million milestones based on the 2026 season (three tied to playoff appearance in each stat and one from 2026 playoff success, including up to $1.5 million for postseason wins with a 75% snap requirement); the same framework applies to 2028 based on 2027 performance, potentially adding up to another $6 million in incentives. Evans’ history of top-10 finishes is uneven, making the upside contingent on team success and high-end production. The piece discusses the details of Evans leaving Tampa Bay for the 49ers and how this escalator structure factors into his overall compensation.

Amazon deflects blame as USPS teeters on financial cliff

Amazon says it didn’t want to cut shipments with the USPS and that negotiations stalled after the USPS walked away from a contract, even as a Wall Street Journal report indicates plans to slash USPS-delivered packages by at least two-thirds by fall; the USPS warns it is running out of money and needs Congress to boost borrowing authority and postage prices, while it tests a new last-mile bidding process—though rural deliveries would still rely on discounted USPS service.

Moore noncommittal on Kamara's Saints future after Etienne addition

Saints coach Kellen Moore offered no clear stance on Alvin Kamara's future after the team added Travis Etienne and restructured Kamara's contract, saying there have been no retirement talks or commitments yet. Kamara struggled in 2025 (11 games, 657 scrimmage yards), leaving his status—trade, release, or retirement—unclear as the Saints weigh the next steps.
