Daily recap
The baseball deadline just went off, and a couple of contenders showed their whole hand.
See today's live show →The Boston Red Sox traded for Baltimore's All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman, who is on the injured list with a wrist problem and hasn't played since mid-July. The San Diego Padres went all in for this season, grabbing pitcher Casey Mize from Detroit and Robbie Ray from the Giants right on the buzzer. Trading for a hurt catcher is a bet on October, not August. The Padres are the ones who actually screamed win-now.
Deebo Samuel is back with the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million, and fullback Kyle Juszczyk can't wait to have him back. Some players just fit a building. Bringing Deebo home is the 49ers admitting that trading him away never sat right.
On this day in 2012, London's Olympic Stadium had its Super Saturday. In about forty-four minutes, Jessica Ennis-Hill won the heptathlon, Greg Rutherford won the long jump, and Mo Farah won the ten-thousand metres. Three British golds, in front of eighty thousand people who would not sit down.
