Chargers LB Denzel Perryman released from police custody following gun charges
Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman has been released from police custody, and the L.A. County District Attorney's Office has declined to press charges, according to public records. Perryman was released from custody at 2:03 p.m. PT Monday, according to records. Authorities arrested Perryman on Friday for multiple gun violations, the L.A. County Sheriff's department said in a statement. Ron Butler, Perryman's agent, confirmed Monday that charges had been dropped. Advertisement 'We're grateful the matter has been resolved,' Butler said in a statement to The Athletic. 'At this time, Denzel is focused on getting back to his family and teammates.' A spokesperson for the L.A. District Attorney's Office told The Athletic that Perryman's 'case was sent back to law enforcement for further investigation.' Perryman was due to appear at Inglewood Municipal Court on Friday at 8:30 a.m., according to records. In a statement, the L.A. County Sheriff's Department said 'South Los Angeles Station deputies conducted a traffic stop' on Perryman at 9:30 p.m. Friday for 'vehicle code violations.' 'During the traffic stop deputies discovered five firearms in Mr. Perryman's vehicle, two of which were assault style rifles,' the statement continued. 'He was arrested and booked on weapons violation charges and was cooperative with deputies.' Perryman was held without bail at the South Los Angeles Sheriff's Station, according to the statement. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said earlier Monday that he visited Perryman in jail on Sunday. Harbaugh addressed media before Perryman was released from custody. 'He was in good spirits,' Harbaugh said. 'I love Denzel. He's always done right. He's never been in trouble. Got a beautiful family, and we're just letting the due process play out.' Perryman, 32, was drafted by the Chargers in 2015. He spent his first six NFL seasons with the organization before stops with the Las Vegas Raiders and Houston Texans. He returned to the Chargers on a one-year deal for 2024. He re-signed with the team this past March on a one-year deal.

Gavi scores twice in 5-0 Barcelona drubbing of Daegu
Gavi scores twice in 5-0 Barcelona drubbing of Daegu originally appeared on The Sporting News Barcelona sent a clear message with its 5-0 victory over Daegu FC, one that emphasizes the club's crucial youth contributions en route to defending the La Liga crown. With fireworks exploding at kickoff, both Barca and Daegu took the field, though the latter wasted little time in registering the contest's first threatening attempt. Starting at centerback, Gerard Martin was caught out for a Daegu breakaway in the 2nd minute, but FCB goalkeeper Joan Garcia was up to the task with a clever kick to deflect the effort. Throughout the first half, Lamine Yamal continued his superb form as he caused a wealth of problems for the Daegu defense. And while Yamal did not find the scoresheet, the 18-year old Spanish winger showcased adept passing, trivela through ball included, as he found space on the edge with regularity thanks in no small part to his suddenness and technical on-ball skills. Days after drawing praise from Barca manager Hansi Flick, Gavi opened up the scoring midway through the first half. In the 21st minute, Gavi caught the Daegu keeper leaning the wrong way and fired a hard shot into the net from outside the box for a 1-0 Barcelona lead. Later in the half, Gavi sped up to receive a through ball from Jules Kounde then chipped the ball over the keeper in stoppage time to give Barca a resounding 3-0 lead at the break. In between those two goals, Robert Lewandowski poked home a clean goal from Martin's cross in the 27th minute. At the break, Barcelona switched up its lineup as expected in order to give each senior player a fair distribution of minutes throughout the pre-season. As such, new arrival loanee Marcus Rashford was positioned at the top of the formation to smooth over a few lineup difficulties, and the Englishmen delivered slick buildup play that ultimately led to a Toni Fernandez goal in the 55th minute. Shortly thereafter, Rashford firmly announced his arrival as he slammed a one-time shot into the back of the net, giving Barcelona a 5-0 lead for his first goal with Spanish side.

After the match, Flick offered a reserved evaluation of Barca's pre-season tour across Asia. 'For us, the most important thing is that we've been able to train well,' Flick told the press. 'We saw what we wanted to see. These have been good tests.' Barcelona will next take the pitch on Aug. 10 against Como.

1 last-minute trade Padres must complete before 2025 deadline
The post 1 last-minute trade Padres must complete before 2025 deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints. The San Diego Padres have a roster loaded with big-name superstars. They've had plenty of other well-known players on their roster in recent years, too. Manny Machado, Xander Bogaerts, Fernando Tatis Jr., Luis Arraez, Jackson Merrill, and Dylan Cease are the current leaders of the team. Blake Snell, Juan Soto, Josh Hader, Seth Lugo, and Tanner Scott are All-Stars who have played for the Padres in recent years that are no longer with the team. The Padres' history of bringing in talent, especially at the trade deadline, makes it obvious that they will be 2025 MLB trade deadline buyers, and they very well could make another splashy move for a megastar. So what trade target should the Padres pursue before the last day to make deals? Padres possible trade proposal for Marcell Ozuna Padres receive: Marcell Ozuna Braves receive: Miguel Mendez (Padres No. 7), Eduarniel Nunez (Padres No. 17) Both the Padres and the Atlanta Braves came into the year with championship expectations. With a 58-49 record, the Padres have lived up to expectations so far, but they need to continue adding to the roster because their National League West division is arguably the best in baseball. The team is only four games back from the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The Braves have severely underwhelmed in comparison to what was expected. Atlanta has a record of just 45-60, which is good for just fourth place in the NL East. The team has enough talent on the roster that they may be able to bounce back next season, but 2025 is a lost cause. Therefore, trading expiring contracts makes sense. Marcell Ozuna is one of the Braves' most attractive trade chips. Ozuna is 34 years old and is having a down season, so it seems unlikely that Atlanta would bring him back in the offseason. Because of his age and status as a rental, he likely wouldn't net a huge trade return, but the Braves would restock their farm system with the additions of Miguel Mendez and Eduarniel Nunez. Why should the Padres trade for Marcell Ozuna? Ozuna would be a perfect fit in San Diego because he brings the power that the Padres roster otherwise lacks. Despite his numbers being down, the 14 balls that the three-time All-Star has hit over the fence this season is nothing to scoff at. Ozuna launched 39 home runs just last season, and he smashed another 40 homers the year prior. Being on a team with several big-name hitters could rejuvenate Ozuna. The Padres have hit 90 home runs this season, which is good for just second-to-last in baseball. At this point, Ozuna should be limited to designated hitting duties as his outfielding capabilities are subpar at best. That would force Gavin Sheets, one of the surprise breakout players in San Diego this year, back into left field. Sheets is below average as an outfielder in his own right, but the Padres need more power in their lineup. The rest of the roster could make up for any defensive shortcomings, too, as the team has several ex-shortstops who thrive in the field. Starting center fielder Jackson Merrill, in particular, could cover a lot of ground for Sheets. The Padres have been rumored to be interested in a trade that would send away Cease, but they should not make any selling moves, especially one that would see their dominant pitcher who leads the NL in strikeout rate depart. Instead, the Padres should go all-in as buyers at the trade deadline. Ozuna would be a start, but they should look for pitching help as well.
