The Los Angeles Angels have a number of decisions to make with Shohei Ohtani.
The Major League Baseball trade deadline is rapidly approaching, and it’s undoubtedly a sellers market.
A number of surprising teams are contending for postseason spots, while the disappointing Padres and Mets may try to supplement struggling rosters.
The most desirable potential trade target is undoubtedly Shohei Ohtani.
But for the most part, reports have suggested that the Angels would be unwilling to part with him, given his immense popularity and desire to retain him in free agency.

Clayton Kershaw’s return from his latest frustrating injury may have to wait until, at least, early August based on comments made by the Dodgers ace and manager Dave Roberts on Friday.
Kershaw, 35, has been resting and receiving treatment in recent weeks due to “cranky” left shoulder inflammation that forced him out of a June 27 win over the Rockies. The left-handed ace received a cortisone shot for the injury the following day and eventually landed on the 15-day injured list on July 3, retroactive to June 30.

This proposed trade package highlights just how steep the Angels’ asking price might be in a possible trade for Shohei Ohtani.

Joe Mixon and the Bengals are in the process of finalizing a contract restructure that will keep the veteran running back in Cincinnati for the 2023 season on a more team-friendly deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. 
Mixon, who was set to earn $10.1 million and carry a salary cap hit of $12.791 this upcoming season, will agree to take a pay cut to remain with the 2023 AFC runners-up. Initial reports did not indicate the new terms of the 26-year-old’s deal, but made clear that the restructure will set the ballcarrier up to return as the Bengals’ top running back.

Details are starting to come out about the incident that led Arizona Coyotes to terminate forward Alex Galchenyuk’s contract after just 12 days.
According to Arizona Sports, the Scottsdale Police Department’s report lays out what happened during the incident on July 9.
It started when a BMW with two male occupants hit a sign and a curb and was spotted in a parking lot where they were seen laying next to the vehicle.
They then continued driving but were eventually pulled over. That’s when an officer noticed that the two men were intoxicated.

It’s not everyday that Stephen Curry sees one of his three-point shooting records fall, but on Friday, the Warriors star saw one of his marks go down at the hands of Liberty sensation Sabrina Ionescu. 
Taking to the court in Las Vegas on Friday for the WNBA’s three-point contest, Ionescu turned in the best-ever performance in the competition by a WNBA or NBA player. After missing her first shot in the final round, the 25-year-old quickly righted the ship and made 25 of her final 26 attempts, including a stretch of 20 straight makes.

49ers QB Sam Darnold has enough on his plate fighting for the starting job in San Francisco. The dude doesn’t need a creepy, possibly paranormal experience in teammate George Kittle’s poolhouse.
Darnold was a guest on Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take and discussed the odd experience when he lived in the poolhouse until he found his own place.
Perhaps something with a pool instead of next to one.
In the interview, he talked about a weird experience when he got up in the middle of the night to take a leak.
“It was crazy, though.
