DAN GARTLAND
Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. I think yesterday was the slowest sports day of the summer. There were only five MLB games. The WNBA All-Star break started. No World Cup. Good thing the NFL news cycle never stops.
⚾ One MLB trade that must happen
Mark J. Rebilas/Imagn Images
The first game of the NFL preseason is less than two weeks away, which means players have already begun reporting to training camps. And that means that they’re already making headlines.
The Cardinals and Panthers, who will play in the Hall of Fame Game on Aug. 6, were the first teams to require their veterans to report to camp. They had to show up by Wednesday, and everyone else in the league will be required to report no later than this coming Tuesday.
Arizona and Carolina are the only teams that have taken the practice field at this point, but they aren’t the only ones making news. Let’s take a look at a few of the most notable developments across the league as training camps begin. CONTINUE DAN’S COLUMN ON SI

… things I saw yesterday:
5. Ernie Clement’s hustle and awareness to score from second on a grounder to third.
4. Braves catcher Drake Baldwin’s home run on a pitch way below the zone.
3. Guardians pitcher Gavin Williams’s immaculate inning.
2. Miguel Merentiel’s deft touch to score for Argentinian soccer club Boca Juniors.
1. Ailana Agbayani’s walk-off single to send the Chicago Bandits to the Athletes Unlimited Softball League championship series, ending the longest game in league history (11 innings). She is the daughter of former Mets outfielder Benny Agbayani.

Friday, July 24
Welcome to The Pregame Lineup, a weekday newsletter that gets you up to speed on everything you need to know for today’s games, while catching you up on fun and interesting stories you might have missed. Today’s edition is brought to you by David Adler.
The Athletes Unlimited Softball League Championship Series is here — and it’s the rivalry rematch we’ve all been waiting for.
And it’s all thanks to the Agbayani family clutch gene.
The Utah Talons face the Chicago Bandits in the best-of-three series starting tomorrow at Davis Diamond in College Station, Texas. The winner takes home the 2026 AUSL crown. Game 1 is set for 1 p.m. ET on ABC.
AUSL Championship Series schedule
The Talons and the Bandits are the AUSL rivalry. The Talons are the reigning champsafter defeating the Bandits last year in the league’s inaugural championship series.
Now the Bandits have their chance at revenge. But it took a thrilling extra-inning walk-off winover the Portland Cascade last night for them to get back to the Championship Series.
The Bandits beat the Cascade, 6-5, in the AUSL play-in game to advance to the finals and set up this weekend’s showdown with the top-seeded Talons. Ailana Agbayani delivered the walk-off RBI single down the first-base line in the 11th inning to end the longest game in league history.
Wait, Agbayani?
That’s right — Ailana is the daughter of former MLB outfielder Benny Agbayani. And last night’s walk-off was a big-time “like father, like daughter” moment.
You might remember that Benny — a Mets cult hero — crushed an unforgettable 13th-inning walk-off home run in Game 3 of the 2000 National League Division Series against the Giants.
Apparently big hits run in the Agbayani family, and if Ailana and the Bandits can come up with a few more this weekend, they could win their first AUSL championship.
And that’s been Chicago’s signature this season. The Bandits are an offensive powerhouse who scored a league-high 139 runs this season, led by Skylar Wallace and Sami Williams, two of the best hitters in the AUSL.
But the Talons’ pitching is just as dominant as their rivals’ hitting. Utah has a pair of aces in Montana Fouts and Georgina Corrick that’s as good as any in the AUSL. That could be just what the Talons need to go back-to-back.
No matter who emerges victorious, this championship series should be one for the ages.

The Hall of Fame adds three new members this weekend — two of the greatest outfielders of their generation, and the best power-hitting second baseman in MLB history.
Carlos Beltrán, Andruw Jones and Jeff Kent will be enshrined in Cooperstown on Sunday. We’ve collected everything you need to know about the 2026 Hall of Fame induction ceremony, but here’s some of the key info:
When does the induction ceremony take place, and how can I watch it?
The induction ceremony begins on Sunday, July 26, at 1:30 p.m. ET. It will be televised exclusively on MLB Network. It will be streamed at MLB.com and in the MLB App, and broadcast on SiriusXM MLB Network Radio. The ceremony, which is expected to last between two to three hours, will also be simulcast at https://baseballhall.org/.
Where is the ceremony held?
On the grounds of the Clark Sports Center, which is located on lower Susquehanna Avenue, one mile south of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y.
Can fans attend?
Yes. More than 25,000 fans typically attend the induction ceremony. Lawn seating for the ceremony is unlimited and free of charge. Keep the conditions in mind, since the event is held outdoors — rain or shine (unless severe weather forces a cancellation).
Which caps will the new Hall of Famers have on their plaques?
Beltrán will be the third player to have a Mets logo on his Hall of Fame plaque, following Tom Seaver and Mike Piazza. Jones will be the 12th player to enter the Hall as a Brave, and Kent will be the 16th player to represent the Giants.
See more details on the Hall of Fame induction here >>
Here’s one game to watch for each day this weekend. Go to MLB.com/Watch for info on how to watch every game this season.
Tonight: Yankees at Phillies (6:45 p.m. ET, Apple TV)
We’ve got an All-Star pitching matchup in the series opener between these two playoff contenders, as AL Cy Young frontrunner Cam Schlittler duels against Phillies lefty Jesús Luzardo. There are also some of the top sluggers in the Majors on both sides, with NL home run leader Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper leading the way for Philadelphia against Ben Rice and the Bronx Bombers.
Tomorrow: Dodgers at Mets (7:15 p.m. ET, FOX)
Speaking of pitchers’ duels — in this Saturdayprimetime showdown, Dodgers ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto squares off against Mets phenom Nolan McLean. McLean just dominated the rival Phillies with a 10-strikeout gem in his last start … but Yamamoto is coming off a masterpiece of his own, a complete-game victory over the Yankees. Can he do the same to the other New York team?
Sunday: Mariners at Rangers (2:35 p.m. ET, MLB.TV)
These two AL West rivals are battling for first place in the division — the Rangers hold a half-game lead over Seattle entering the weekend. All three games have enticing pitching matchups, but we have our eyes on the series finale, which pits Jacob deGrom against Logan Gilbert.
Luis Arraez is one of the most mentioned and most polarizing names on the trade market this season.
Will baseball’s king of contact hitting be on the move before the Aug. 3 Trade Deadline? And if so, where to? Mike Petriello takes a stab at making sense of Arraez’s situation.
He breaks down the six best trade fits for the Giants second baseman. Here are three of the most interesting:
Yankees
Given how much the offense has collapsed since Aaron Judge went down, and because this team really does strike out too much, this is a trade match that’s probably going to come up a lot. The only problem is Arraez isn’t a perfect positional fit with the Yankees’ roster.
Red Sox
The Red Sox going on a 15-game win streak suddenly puts them in position to be buyers, and no team has gotten less out of left-handed hitters than Boston has. Plus, only the non-contending Reds and Mets have had less offensive production from second base.
Rangers
This could be the move that helps the Rangers hang onto first place in the wide-open AL West. And manager Skip Schumaker once called Arraez “one of my favorite players I’ve ever been around,” back when he was the Marlins’ manager and Arraez had been traded to San Diego.
Find out who’s the No. 1 trade fit for Arraez here >>
We just took a look at the teams that were the best fit for a player (Arraez). Now let’s do the opposite and take a look at which players are the best fit for a team.
The Yankees need catching. It’s one of the most obvious Trade Deadline needs. So Thomas Harrigan breaks down the best options for New York to address the catcher position.
Harrigan divides the catchers on the market into five tiers based on their fit with New York:
The most likely target: There’s a lot of trade buzz around this backstop.
The dream options: A couple of All-Stars the Yanks would love to have.
Don’t rule it out: An outside-the-box, but not untouchable, possibility.
Probably not happening: A catcher who’s a long shot to get traded, but would be a big fish to land.
Fallback options: These guys would still help, but it’s not the high end of the market.
See the catchers that fall into each tier here >>
You could have given us a million guesses, and we would’ve never predicted the newest Munetaka Murakami concession at White Sox games.
It’s called the “Muneshot.” It’s a sushi push-pop featuring the White Sox rookie sensation. And the next time we’re in Chicago, we will be trying it.
The tubular Murakami sushi — designed for you to push your sushi roll up through the top, one piece at a time — comes in two varieties: shrimp tempura roll and California crunch roll.
The Muneshot Sushi Push-Pop can be found at Lucky’s Section 154 and portable carts on 100 and 500 levels at Rate Field.

“Creation’s initial monarchy would not achieve God’s purpose—nor would the Davidic monarchy—but something later would. A New Adam—Jesus—would reign, as had been foreshadowed in the garden and in the courts of Solomon. The New Adam, the new Davidic monarch, would reign with His bride, the New Eve, and she would be a real historical woman, whom Revelation would identify with the Church. She would be mother of the living. She would be advocate of the people. She would be queen mother. She would be Mary.” —Scott Hahn, pg. 85An excerpt from Hail Holy Queen

The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.1. Reflect on the victories and losses
Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.
2. Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.3. Practice gratitude
It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day.
4. Renew your commitment to Christ
Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.

(14) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. (15) John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. (16) And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. (17) For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. (18) No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
King James Version Change email Bible version
In John 1:14, 18, the Greek term translated as “only begotten” is monogenes. Only John uses this adjective to describe Jesus, and he uses it five times. Its most common usage in Greek is as a term of endearment, though that is not all it adds to Jesus’ standing before humanity. The way John uses it also specifically indicates a human family relationship.
It also carries the sense of “only,” intensifying the sense of endearment with the idea of singleness or uniqueness. Thus, the sense of “only” becomes an important addition. There are no others like Him, and Scripture adds that there never has been. He is unique even in respect to all other usages of “son of God” in the Bible. He stands alone. Our Savior has no competition.
At this point, we need to grasp a simple, Greek grammatical rule that most English-speakers are not normally exposed to. In Greek, ho is the equivalent of the English definite article “the.” However, the apostle John does not place ho before “only begotten” in verse 14, nor before “Father” in verse 18 (though most English translations supply it anyway). Its absence is legitimate in Greek usage, as it intensifies the descriptive power of the term “only begotten”—and thus what John is attempting to explain. It amplifies its power.
By writing it in this manner, John specifically signifies that Jesus is the single, sole, exclusive, only representative and—this is important—character (image) of the Being, the Father, who sent Him. This lays additional, greater glory upon the characteristics revealed about Jesus in context.
The apostle’s object was to demonstrate and emphasize as best he could through mere words the height of the level of glory he and his fellow apostles witnessed in their three-and-a-half-year relationship with Jesus. With words, He severs Jesus of Nazareth, son of Joseph and Mary, from all other set-apart sons of God in the Scriptures, as well as from any kind of earthly, human, generational relationship.
Essentially, he is stating that Jesus’ relationship with the Father was unoriginated. All human relationships are originated and continue through the pairing of a father and a mother. Jesus’ relationship with the Father was not so. There is nothing we humans could conceive of as a sexual act by the Father that produced Jesus.
This reality should have a major impact on how we understand Their unity. Recall that Jesus says in John 10:30, “I and My Father are one.” Therefore, everything the Father is in character Jesus is also, even though Jesus is a separate personality from the Father. Just as the Father has always existed, so has the Son. The apostle John used this grammatical rule five times, so we would get the point. Jesus was and is every bit as much God as the Father.
Thus, the term “begotten” as used regarding Jesus does not apply in the same way it does for humans. Nevertheless, John used it to establish the concept of a family relationship so we could understand our relationship to God, as Father and child, more clearly.
