Cal Raleigh, a key player for the Mariners, hopes to win the American League MVP award tonight, competing against Yankees' Aaron Judge and Guardians' Jose Ramirez. The ceremony is scheduled to start at 4 PM. The Seattle Kraken aim to avoid a third consecutive loss as they host the Winnipeg Jets, following a narrow shootout defeat to the Blue Jackets. The Jets recently broke their own losing streak by defeating the Canucks. In college sports, the Pac-12 announced a new partnership with USA Sports, which will broadcast 22 football games and 50 men’s basketball games through 2031.

This move is part of the conference's efforts to rebuild after recent membership changes. Additionally, the Western Washington University Vikings men's soccer team faced a tough loss in the GNAC Championships, while the women's team competes for a spot in the title game. In prep sports, Sehome's girls soccer team advanced to the state quarterfinals after a decisive 5-1 victory over Ellensburg.
