About Last Night: Jose Shows Frustration, Guards Win, and Lakers Sold

Ken and Lima bring in producer John to recap the Guardians' 6-4 win over the Tigers behind Foster Griffin, Angel Martinez's three-hit game, and Steven Kwan's continued hot streak, while framing Jose Ramirez's visible frustration after an error as a good sign for a team that hit rock bottom days earlier, though Anthony admits he's nervous about Ramirez playing through injury. The bulk of the segment covers Mark Walter selling the Lakers to Josh Kushner and Bob Iger for $12.5 billion, a $2 billion profit in just 14 months, which the guys use to argue the NBA is thriving financially despite narratives about the league struggling, pointing to recent Boston and Dallas sale prices and expansion fee estimates. They debate whether the Lakers or Dodgers are more popular in L.A. versus globally, and pivot into a broader discussion on single-owner versus ownership-group models in sports, weighing accountability against the risk of a meddling owner, with the old Browns relocation brought up as a cautionary tale. The segment closes with a quick take on Russell Westbrook's retirement, comparing his legacy and fan appeal to James Harden's.
