The Shohei Ohtani interpreter saga just got a new voice. The bookie who took Ippei Mizuhara's bets is now speaking to ESPN, and his word of choice is bananas.

Shifting to the diamond, the MLB trade deadline has come and gone and the dust is still settling. The Red Sox, Cubs, and Phillies all made moves, but the real question hanging over each clubhouse is whether those moves were bold enough. Contender or pretender, that verdict is still very much out, and the next two months will answer it fast.
And over in the NFL, training camp intel is pouring in from twelve teams across the league, Bears to Vikings and everyone in between.

The pads are on and the competition is real.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
