Status held at `needs_review` rather than `verified` pending (a) Wayback snapshot capture; (b) cross-check against an independent secondary (Washington Post, Sportico, or ESPN all carried the announcement on June 4, 2024 with direct quoted excerpts); (c) reconciliation of the June 4 vs. June 6 MLB.com URL date question.
