Seahawks release tight end Noah Fant ahead of start of training camp
The Seattle Seahawks released tight end Noah Fant on Sunday ahead of the start of training camp. The 27-year-old Fant spent the past three seasons with the Seahawks after being acquired in the 2022 blockbuster trade that sent quarterback Russell Wilson to Denver. Across his Seattle tenure Fant racked up 130 receptions for 1,400 yards and five touchdowns. Fant was entering the final season of a two-year contract and was due a non-guaranteed salary of 8.49 million this year. The Seahawks will save 8.91 million against the salary cap with the move. In parting ways with Fant, who was a 2019 first-round pick of the Broncos, the Seahawks stable of young tight ends figure to be featured much more prominently in 2025. There's second-year tight end AJ Barner, who caught 30 passes for 245 yards last season, as well as rookie Elijah Arroyo, who the Seahawks selected in the second round this year. Eight-year NFL veteran Eric Saubert also will be in training camp after signing a one-year deal with the Seahawks. Undrafted rookie tight ends Marshall Lang and Nick Kallerup will be on the scene as well.

Trump's latest demand: Washington football and Cleveland baseball teams should change names back
President Donald Trump wants Washington's football franchise and Cleveland's baseball team to revert to their former names. Trump said Sunday on his Truth Social site that 'The Washington Whatevers' should 'IMMEDIATELY change their name back to the Washington Redskins Football Team.' 'There is a big clamoring for this. Likewise the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams with a storied past. Our great Indian people in massive numbers want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or four years ago. We are a Country of passion and common sense. OWNERS GET IT DONE!!!' For all the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app. Josh Harris, whose group bought the Commanders from former owner Dan Snyder in 2023, said earlier this year the name was here to stay. Not long after taking over, Harris quieted speculation about going back to Redskins, saying that would not happen. Guardians president of baseball operations Chris Antonetti indicated before Sunday's game against the Athletics that there weren't any plans to revisit the name change. 'We understand there are different perspectives on the decision we made a few years ago but obviously it's a decision we made. We've got the opportunity to build a brand as the Guardians over the last four years and are excited about the future that's in front of us,' he said. Both teams have had their current names since the 2022 seasons. Washington dropped Redskins after the 2019 season and was known as the Washington Football Team for two years before moving to Commanders. Cleveland announced in December 2020 it would drop Indians. It announced the switch to Guardians in July 2021. In 2018, the team phased out Chief Wahoo as its primary logo. The name changes had their share of supporters and critics as part of national discussions about institutions and teams to drop logos and names considered racist. The Guardians are the fifth name for Cleveland's baseball franchise. It joined the American League in 1901 as one of the eight charter franchises as the Blues. It switched to the Bronchos a year later and used the Naps from 1903 through 1914 before moving to the Indians in 1915. Washington started in Boston as the Redskins in 1933 before moving to the nation's capital four years later. Washington and Cleveland share another thing in common. David Blitzer is a member of Harris' ownership group with the Commanders and holds a minority stake in the Guardians.

Blue jays beat giants 8-6, complete series sweep and match franchise record of 10 straight home wins
Addison Barger hit a two-run home run, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and George Springer added solo shots, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the San Francisco Giants 8-6 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep and match a franchise record with their 10th consecutive home win. Toronto also won 10 straight at home July 21–August 3, 1985. Toronto's current streak began with a four-game series sweep of the Yankees from June 30 to July 3, overtaking New York for the AL East lead. The Blue Jays followed that with a three-game sweep of the Los Angeles Angels. The Yankees and Blue Jays open a three-game series in Toronto on Monday. Since a three-game sweep of San Diego in late May, the Blue Jays have won 22 of 26 at home. Guerrero reached base three times and drove in two as Toronto improved to 12-3 in July. The series sweep was their eighth of the season. Toronto's José Berríos (6-4) allowed four runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings and won for the fourth time in six starts. Yariel Rodríguez finished for his second save in three chances. Springer's homer was his team-leading 17th. Barger's was his 14th. Guerrero erased a 1-0 deficit with a 420-foot drive off Robbie Ray in the first inning, his 13th. Ray (9-4) allowed five runs and five hits in 4 1/3 innings. The left-hander matched a season-high with five walks. San Francisco's Matt Chapman had two hits including a two-run homer, his 13th. Key moment: Barger hit a second-deck drive off Spencer Bivens in the fifth, a four-run inning that began with Springer connecting off former Toronto teammate Ray. Key stat: The Blue Jays are 21-7 when they hit two or more homers. Giants: RHP Hayden Birdsong (4-3, 4.11 ERA) is scheduled to start at Atlanta on Monday against Braves RHP Bryce Elder (3-6, 5.65). Blue Jays: RHP Kevin Gausman (6-7, 4.19 ERA) is scheduled to start Monday against Yankees LHP Carlos Rodon (10-6, 3.08).
