The Oakland Athletics have agreed to a seven-year, $86 million contract extension with breakout left fielder Tyler Soderstrom, first reported by ESPN's Jeff Passan on Christmas Day 2025. The deal, the largest guaranteed in franchise history, includes an eighth-year club option and escalators potentially worth $131 million overall.
The Anaheim Ducks have started the season with a 9-3-1 record, leading the Pacific Division and ranking second in the NHL with a .731 points percentage. Their offense has surged to lead the league in goals per game at 4.15, driven by a young core and key acquisitions. Advanced NHL EDGE stats highlight their high-danger scoring and possession play as reasons for sustained success.
