Today 5 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 9 K
Good to see Ray dominate today; clear he was working on stuff/command/location in his past outings, but put it all together today, Ray should be a major addition in the second half.

SHAMS:
For the past several weeks, all eyes have been on the Utah Jazz and Lauri Markkanen. The Jazz have operated in concurrent lanes with Markkanen’s future: open to listening to trade offers from serious suitors while maintaining interest in keeping him as a franchise centerpiece. Markkanen is eligible for an extension Aug. 6. The Jazz are in a rebuild, so rival teams have wondered about Markkanen’s fit moving forward. Utah officials want to keep the 2023 NBA All-Star and Most Improved Player unless a team truly wows it with an offer.
The Golden State Warriors have been the most engaged team for Markkanen in recent weeks, as league sources tell The Athletic they have discussed a proposal around Moses Moody, multiple first-round picks, multiple pick swaps and multiple second-round picks. The Jazz, however, have asked for the bulk of young talent and capital the Warriors possess, including Moody, Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski, along with picks, which has been a non-starter thus far for Golden State, league sources said.
Markkanen — who would be the most coveted 2025 free agent in the prime of his career — has an amount of leverage in all of this as well. Any team willing to give significant assets for the 7-foot big man would likely desire assurances that he would have interest in a long-term deal.
For Markkanen, a renegotiation-and-extension allows him to receive more money now. For him to reach his maximum salary in 2025-26, the Jazz would need to raise his 2024-25 salary to at least $33,138,600, which requires at least $15.09 million in cap space for the current season. One component to watch for: Markkanen is eligible to be traded next season if he signs the extension on the first day of eligibility Aug. 6 — but not tradable if signed after that date.

| |  |  | |  |  | | Univision is reporting that not only did people without tickets manage to enter, but security was so lax that they couldn't even check attendees for weapons. No metal detectors, no pat downs, nothing. It's like they were inviting disaster! Whether or not the game actually | | | | 7/14/24, 6:04 PM |

| |  |  | |  |  | On the Univision broadcast, a fan w/ tickets was interviewed. He said people without tickets are in his seats and won't leave.
Security says they can't do anything, they're overwhelmed. Many people who paid are still waiting outside, as the stadium is over capacity. #CopaAmerica | | | | 7/14/24, 5:38 PM |
