MLB Trade Deadline Today, MGM and Caesars Look to Expand Sports Betting and NFL Legend Bobby Beathard to be Inducted Into HOF on Saturday

Today is the MLB trade deadline and so far this month Manny Machado has been traded to the Dodgers from the Orioles, Brad Hand to the Indians from the Padres, Mike Moustakas to the Brewers from the Royals, Zach Britton to the Yankees from the Orioles, Cole Hamels to the Cubs from the Rangers and Joakim Soria to the Brewers from the White Sox. ESPN has a list of all transactions in the past week.

As legal sports betting in the U.S. continues to see more adoption, both MGM Resorts International and Caesar Entertainment have joined to cash in, according to the Associated Press. MGM’s Borgata casino-resort in New Jersey and Caesars’ Bally’s casino in Atlantic City currently offer sports betting. The AP quotes Kevin Ortzman, who runs Caesars Entertainment’s three Atlantic City casinos:

“The sports betting customer is not your typical core gaming customer that Atlantic City has been used to,” he said. “Offering this as another wagering opportunity opens up a whole new chance to integrate this with our food and beverage, gaming and entertainment offerings.”

NFL legend Bobby Beathard will be inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame on Saturday. Beathard was in the NFL for 38 years, winning four and competing in seven Super Bowls as General Manager of the Kansas City Chiefs (1966), Miami Dolphins (1972,1973), Washington Redskins (1982,1983,1987) and the San Diego Chargers (1994). The AP reports that Beathard’s favourite memory of his career was the 1972 Miami Dolphins but that every time one of his teams made it to the finals was a highlight.

“...they were all memorable. Any time we made it to that last game, it meant that we were going to the Super Bowl. Those were always great memories.”

GVC Holdings and MGM Announce Joint Venture for Sports Betting Platform and WWE Extends Australian Broadcasting Agreement with Foxtel

Stocks discussed: (LSE:GVC.L) (NYSE:MGM) (NYSE:WWE)

GVC Holdings plc (LSE:GVC.L) has announced a joint venture with MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM) to create a sports betting and online gambling platform in the U.S. Jim Murren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of MGM Resorts talked about the partnership:
"We are proud to join forces with GVC, the largest and most dynamic global online betting operator, with existing reputable and trusted operations in the U.S. With MGM Resorts' expertise and leading position in key markets across the U.S., this historic partnership will be positioned to become the instant leader in technology, market access, sports relationships and brands.”

World Wrestling Entertainment (NYSE:WWE) and broadcaster Foxtel have extended their partnership for the 19th with an agreement to broadcast WWE shows like Raw® and Smackdown® in Australia.

Thomas Wins Tour de France, Johnson Secures Third Win of PGA Tour Season with Canadian Open Victory, Busch Races to First at Pocono and Rossi Scores Another IndyCar Win at Mid-Ohio

Team Sky’s Geraint Thomas became the first Welshman in history to win the Tour de France yesterday. Thomas won with a one minute and 51 second advantage over second place rider Tom Dumoulin of the Netherlands, according to CNN.

"It's unbelievable, it's going to take a while to sink in," Thomas told Eurosport. "Riding around wearing this (the yellow jersey) is the stuff of dreams."
Top-ranked golfer Dustin Johnson won the RBC Canadian Open for the first time yesterday. It marks his third win of the PGA Tour season and 19th of his career with a score of 23-under par. The Toronto Sun quotes Johnson on the victory:

“Winning here definitely means a lot. Signing with RBC this year, and coming up here and winning, especially on a golf course where I’ve had success, it means a lot.”

NASCAR racer Kyle Busch has won his sixth race of the season with a victory at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA yesterday. This win means that Busch has tied Tony Stewart for 13th on the career wins list with 49 to his name. The Associated Press quotes Busch on the achievement:

“You keep reaching higher up the ladder and you keep reaching more milestone drivers,” Busch said. “Tony Stewart is one of the all-time best and one of the drivers that I was a fan of growing up. It’s awesome to be able to tie him. There’s many more. We want to keep going.”

Alexander Rossi has won his second IndyCar victory this season at Mid-Ohio. He finished the 90 laps of the race leaving a gap of 12.82 seconds between him and the second place Robert Wickens, according to Autosport.

Roglic takes Stage 19 of Tour de France with Thomas Coming Second, Garrigus Leads First Day of Canadian Open, US Swimming Championship Day 2 Results and Valcke’s 10-Year FIFA Ban Upheld

Slovenian cyclist Primoz Roglic has taken stage 19, the final high mountain stage of the Tour de France. Race frontrunner Geraint Thomas came in second to consolidate his position going into the final two days over the weekend.

American Robert Garrigus lead the way with 9-under 63 at the opening day of the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey Golf Course in Oakville, Ontario. The Canadian Open website explains that the players were plagued by rain, high winds and potential lightning strikes which delayed play and prevented 55 golfers from finishing the first round.

“Could have been 59 there if a couple putts didn’t lip out,” said Garrigus, who had birdie putts lip out on Nos. 10 and 17. “Got lucky on the par 5, on 13, hit it right in the middle of the water, and it hit a rock and bounced over the thing and I made birdie.

According to Swim Swam, Day 2 of the U.S. Swimming Championships saw Katie Ledecky take gold in the Women’s 200 Free, Andrew Seliskar for the Men’s 200 Free, Micah Sumrall for the Women’s 200 Breast, Josh Prenot for the Men’s 200 Breast, Regan Smith and Kathleen Baker tied for the Women’s 200 Back, Ryan Murphy for the Men’s 200 Back, Kelsi Dahlia for the Women’s 50 Fly and Michael Andrew for the Men’s 50 Fly.

The Court of Arbitration of Sport upheld former FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke’s 10-year ban today, according to the Associated Press. Valcke was fired in 2016 after “being implicated in irregular World Cup ticket and broadcast rights sales, plus expense abuses including personal use of private jets.”

“The offenses found to have been committed by Jerome Valcke were cumulatively of a serious degree of gravity,” CAS said in its statement, adding the ban and fine of 100,000 Swiss francs ($100,200) “were wholly proportionate.”

Malibu Boats Introduces New Wakesetter™ 22 LSV and Churchill Downs Announces 200 New Jobs for Derby City Gaming

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGM:MBUU) (NasdaqGS:CHDN)

Malibu Boats (NasdaqGM:MBUU) has introduced the newest model Wakesetter™ 22 LSV.

Churchill Downs (NasdaqGS:CHDN) announced today that Derby City Gaming, its new historical racing machine facility, is hiring up to 200 new employees in advance of the planned grand opening in September.

McGregor Pleads Guilty, Avoids Jail Time, Démare Takes Stage 18 but Thomas Still Leads Tour de France, Ledecky Wins 800m at U.S. Swimming Championships and Triple Crown Winner Justify Retires

UFC star Conor McGregor has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and avoided possible jail time, according to the BBC. McGregor was involved in an altercation at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on April 5 for which he faced 12 criminal charges including: menacing, assault resulting in injury, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief. Following the judgement, McGregor’s manager, Audie Attar said the fighter would be focusing on getting back into fighting.
"Now that this is passed us, we can focus on things that have been on hold for some time," said Mr Attar.
"Conor's been training. He's in shape. He's ready to go. Now it's just about getting back to business and we hope to have some news to announce very soon."

French cyclist Arnaud Démare has won stage 18 at the Tour de France. This marks his second career Tour stage win and the first this year. According to Sky Sports, Geraint Thomas still holds his lead at one minute and 59 seconds.

Katie Ledecky won by 10 seconds in the 800m freestyle at the U.S. Swimming Championships according to NBC Sports. The five-time gold medal winner finished 7.19 seconds slower than her world record of 8:11.98.

“I’m fine with it, didn’t feel super sharp, but it always takes me a little bit of time to get into these meets,” Ledecky said, noting swimming in 80-degree heat. “My best races are when the first 400 and the second 400 are pretty even.”

This year’s Triple Crown winner Justify is retiring from racing according to the Associated Press. Fluid found in his left front ankle has raised concerns about his health if he were to continue racing.

“The timing is bad for another start in 2018, and therefore, we have to retire him,” said Elliott Walden of WinStar Farm, which co-owns Justify. “Like (2015 Triple Crown winner) American Pharoah, we can’t take the risk of running Justify as a 4-year-old. We all wanted him to finish his career in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, but it was not meant to be.”
