Kansas City is throwing in the towel on this rotation. The Royals have decided to make Seth Lugo and Michael Wacha available ahead of the trade deadline, a clear signal that this season has gone sideways fast. A year after surprising the league, Kansas City is now a seller, and those two arms could draw real interest from contenders looking for rotation depth.
Shifting to the National League, the Mets find themselves at a crossroads with their injured All-Star starter sitting at a two point three nine ERA. ESPN's Jeff Passan is reporting Milwaukee has entered the conversation as a potential trade destination, and with the deadline approaching, New York has to weigh the risk of holding versus the return they could get right now. This one is moving fast.
And over in international football, France is walking a tightrope with Michael Olise after their appeal to have his yellow card overturned was rejected. One more booking against Morocco and Olise could be looking at a suspension that removes one of France's most dangerous attacking weapons at the worst possible moment in the tournament. The stakes could not be higher.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
