    Larry Berg to Lead MLS as Commissioner; Alex Eala Wins Washington Open

    LAFC co-owner Larry Berg will become the next MLS Commissioner, while Alex Eala secures a historic WTA title in a rain-delayed Washington Open.

    Major League Soccer has announced that Larry Berg, co-owner of LAFC, will succeed Don Garber as the league's third-ever commissioner. The transition marks the end of Garber's long and transformative tenure, which saw the league grow from a struggling entity to a prominent fixture in the North American sports landscape. Berg is expected to oversee a significant period of expansion and commercial evolution as the league prepares for a post-2026 World Cup environment.

    In other soccer news, the Washington Open saw a historic victory as the Philippines' Alex Eala defeated top seed Jessica Pegula to claim her first WTA title in a weather-delayed final. The match, which was rescheduled due to heavy rain in the D.C. area, served as a major breakthrough for the young Filipina star. In Major League Baseball, the Chicago White Sox have been active in the trade market, reportedly acquiring outfielder Brenton Doyle from the Rockies and relief pitcher Huascar Brazoban from the Mets to bolster their roster.
