SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
When a baseball star pulls up injured, fans want to know how bad it is. But new research suggests THIS might be a big factor in when he can play again: How close is he to free agency? A University of Michigan study found that Major League players in contract years return from injuries faster than those locked into long-term deals. Across nearly a decade of data, players with expiring contracts spent about 5 fewer games on the injured list, while 1-year deals shaved off almost 9. The takeaway? If you’re playing for a new contract, you’re much more likely to play through some pain. Teams, meanwhile, have fewer reasons to play it safe with someone who might be gone by next season, so they might be more likely to encourage a player to hurry back into the lineup when they’re hurting.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
Oktoberfest 2025 in Munich, Germany, kicked off this Saturday.
Brace yourself for the era of the “kidult”. Industry experts say a wave of consumers over age 12 are reshaping the toy industry by buying products that celebrate nostalgia, from teddy bears and Lego to trading cards and Star Wars figures. The toy market grew up to 7% in the first half of 2025, largely fueled by these adult collectors. The trend of kidult toy purchasing accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, when people sought comfort and distraction, and it shows no sign of slowing. eBay search trends highlight Pokémon, Labubu, and Bratz as hot items. Top toy categories sought out by kidults include trading card games, building sets and blocks, action figures and collectibles, and, of course, entertainment-licensed products, such as superheroes and pro athletes.
