Sabrina Ionescu scores 29 as Liberty beat Mercury 89-76 for 5th straight win
NEW YORK (AP) — Sabrina Ionescu scored 29 points while Jonquel Jones added 20 points and 11 rebounds to help the New York Liberty beat the Phoenix Mercury 89-76 on Friday night for their fifth consecutive win. Leonie Fiebich added 13 points for the Liberty (17-6), who put more space between them and the third-place Mercury (15-9), who won the teams' first two meetings this season. New York trailed 54-49 midway through the third quarter before closing the period on an 18-5 run capped by Jones' fadeaway shot that she got off just before the end of the quarter. That gave the Liberty a 67-59 lead. The Liberty poured it on in the fourth behind Ionescu, who scored the first five points during a 10-2 run that gave the team a 82-64 advantage — its biggest of the game. The Mercury couldn't get within single digits the rest of the way. Alyssa Thomas had 20 points, 13 rebounds and eight assists for Phoenix. She fell just short of her 17th career triple-double and 13th in the regular season. Phoenix scored the first eight points and built its lead to a dozen before New York rallied to tie it 46-all at the half. Ionescu hit two free throws with 0.9 seconds left in the second quarter. Jones had 11 points and eight rebounds in the half. Thomas had 15 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the opening 20 minutes. ___ AP WNBA:

Dodgers trade rumors: Will L.A. add bullpen depth?
The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the middle of several trade rumors as the deadline approaches. Any trades involving players on the 40-man roster must be completed by 6 p.m. ET on Thursday, July 31. MLB teams can still place or claim players off waivers, but trades will no longer be allowed. The Dodgers always have high expectations and this year have a championship to defend, adding to the likelihood the team makes a move before the deadline. The bullpen should be addressed. It's one of the team's biggest needs at the moment, considering the number of pitchers on the injury report. Who could the Dodgers bring in at the trade deadline? With a glaring need to add depth in the bullpen again, the Dodgers will likely be buyers. USA TODAY Sports' Bob Nightengale provided some options to consider. Among them: Jhoan Duran of the Minnesota Twins and Emmanuel Clase of the Cleveland Guardians. Duran has been a solid reliever this season with a 1.62 ERA. Clase has once again been one of the better relief pitchers this season and if the right offer comes along, Cleveland might be willing to part ways with him. ESPN's Jeff Passan believes Cade Smith of the Guardians could be a good fit for the Dodgers' needs. Passan writes: 'The 26-year-old right-hander's 3.21 ERA is misleading; he has struck out 63 in 42 innings and given up only two home runs. He is a throwback, hurling almost 70% fastballs and not just getting away with it but thriving because of it. And with the L.A. bullpen full of unknowns, he is the (type of player) manager Dave Roberts can deploy at any point in the game with great efficacy. Bonus: He comes with an additional four years of club control.' Who could the Dodgers move at the trade deadline? The Dodgers could move on from pitcher Dustin May, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. May could be moved in an attempt to address other areas of need, but he is expected to become an unrestricted free agent, which could impact how he is viewed on the market. He allowed seven runs in 4⅔ innings pitched during his last start on July 11, an 8-7 loss to the San Francisco Giants. He's started 17 of the 18 games he's played in and has a 6-6 record this season. He's allowed 56 runs and 92 hits while striking out 92 in 99 innings pitched. If he isn't moved, May could be used as a reliever to finish out the season. His last outing came in relief of Shohei Ohtani, pitching 4⅔ scoreless innings. It was his first relief appearance since 2020. The Boston Red Sox could have interest in catcher Dalton Rushing, according to Sean McAdam of MassLive. Boston could include shortstop Franklin Arias and left-handed pitcher Brandon Clarke in a potential deal. Arias, a 19-year-old Venezuelan, is currently listed as the Red Sox's top prospect. Clarke is ranked as the fourth-best prospect in Boston's system. This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: What moves could Dodgers make at trade deadline? Latest rumors

Red Sox World Series Champion Drops Blockbuster Trade Prediction
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Red Sox should be very active at the MLB trade deadline, but just how big of a splash can they make? The priorities for the Red Sox remain with starting pitching, a first baseman and bullpen help. That didn't stop Boston's 2004 World Series champion and MLB Network analyst Kevin Millar from throwing out a hypothetical for a future Hall of Famer. BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 03: Mike Trout #27 of the Los Angeles Angels takes his turn at bat against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on June 03, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JUNE 03: Mike Trout #27 of the Los Angeles Angels takes his turn at bat against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on June 03, 2025 in Boston, Massachusetts. Elsa/Getty Images Millar floated the idea of the Los Angeles Angels, who last made the postseason in 2014, finally trading Mike Trout to the contending Red Sox. "Is Mike Trout available?" Millar asked in an MLB Network video on X. "Maybe. Did the Red Sox save $260 million when they got rid of (Rafael) Devers? Can you make a deal to get Mike Trout to the Boston Red Sox? Right-handed power, you never know." Trout's tenure in Anaheim and Boston's outfield logjam are just a few reasons why this trade idea is highly unlikely, but this is the time of year for blockbuster rumors. Trout sports an .836 OPS in 77 games with the Angels this season. Injuries have once again been an issue for Trout this season, as he's missed more than 20 games. That's borderline ironman stuff compared to recent campaigns, though; Trout played in just 111 games over the prior two seasons entering 2025. Trout hasn't played more than 134 games in a season since 2018. And he's still signed through 2030. In the same video, MLB Network host Greg Amsinger presented the idea for the Red Sox to trade for St. Louis Cardinals reliever Ryan Helsley to pair with All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman.
