Another Forgetful MLB HR Derby & All-Star Game/Second Half Preview. ESPY's: Who's Watching? Jimmy G On The Move To Cleveland? Harden Re-ups With 76ers. Can He Turn Back The Clock?

Summer is heating up. Which isn't the case throughout the sports landscape, but there are some things to discuss as yours truly, will deliver the latest and greatest on what's happening. On deck:

(4:14) As I mentioned, with not much going on in the sports universe, baseball saves the day as I'll recap a laborious Home Run Derby on Monday night, a lackluster All-Star Game and why it has become such a slog to watch? More importantly, we turn our attention to the 'second half' of the season as I'll breakdown all of the divisions, the wild card races, who's in prime position to make it to the dance and who'll be on the outside looking in as we get started on the race to October baseball throughout the rest of the summer.

(34:39) I'll spend literally a minute or so on the ESPY's which was broadcast last night.

(36:15) NFL training camps will open up next week. News coming out of San Francisco is that the 49ers have granted permission for Jimmy Garoppolo to seek a trade. Where will he end up? Is Cleveland the obvious destination? I'll also spend a moment on the passing of former Steelers #1 pick, wide receiver Charles Johnson at the age of 50.

(41:25) James Harden has signed an extension to stay with 76ers and provide some relief to their cap. The focus will be on redeeming himself over the last couple of years with the decline of his play. Will he be able to resurrect his career to where it was in Houston and deliver a title to Philadelphia?

Nats Soto Declines $440M. What's Next? MLB Recap. HR Derby/AS Game Must Watch? Rory Good, Cam Smith Better In Open Win. Tiger Done? Ayton Stays In PHX. Devils Dealing, Islanders Standing Pat?

With a heatwave on the way here in the Northeast this coming week, your speakers or earbuds will feel the affect as I'll keep the airwaves sizzling with sports talk unlike any other. On deck:

(4:17) The All-Star Break has arrived in baseball as Los Angeles will be the backdrop for the Home Run Derby and the game itself over the next couple of days. A huge story coming out of the weekend was Juan Soto declining a 15 year, $440 million dollar contract from the Nationals. Does this all fall on the shoulders of Soto? What would a team have to trade in order to procure his services? I'll do a deep dive on this topic, and of course, the mastermind behind this being his agent, Scott Boras. I'll recap the past weekend in the sport (i.e. Mariners win streak at 14, Orioles & Red Sox slide, Yankees pitching rotation loss and affect on their staff, Mets status quo in the NL East and more) Plus, my thoughts on the Derby and the All-Star Game as I share my experience of witnessing one in person nine years ago. To close out, I'll get into the ESPN Derek Jeter docu-series that begins tonight. How much should we expect from the Yankee great to open up about his life and career? I'll explain in detail.

(33:30) Rory McIlroy was staring at his first major tournament win in eight years, but Cam Smith was brilliant down the stretch to claim his first ever Grand slam victory at The Open in St. Andrews. Did Smith win? Or did Rory lose? Also, Tiger Woods did not make the cut as he became emotional walking up toward the 18th hole on Friday. Could this be the beginning of the end for the all time great? Is retirement a possibility?

(44:41) The Phoenix Suns match the offer sheet by the Indiana Pacers, paying him $133 million dollars over the next four years. Despite the Suns putting their money where their mouths are, were they reluctant to do so?

(49:00) NHL free agency has quieted down, but the Devils have made a couple of key moves (defenseman John Marino and winger Ondrej Palat) to bolster their roster and chances to bring respectability to the franchise. While the Islanders have stood pat, remained silent (besides acquiring a defenseman from the Canadiens) and has yours truly wondering which direction the organization is going!?
