State of play: The Giants traded Slater and cash to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for left-handed relief pitcher Alex Young over the weekend, The Athletic reports .

• First pitch for the Midsummer Classic is set for 5pm PT.

Curry, Kerr prepare for the Olympics with Klay on their minds

Warriors guard Stephen Curry and head coach Steve Kerr are both in Las Vegas prepping for the Olympics, but newly departed Klay Thompson is still top of mind.

What they're saying: "There's no bitterness," Curry told The Athletic at Team USA's training camp. "There's no ill will or anything. I just want him to be happy and have a good time playing basketball like he deserves."

• "I haven't ever had fantasies that this thing would just go on for another five, six years and Steph, Klay and [Draymond Green] would retire together and I would retire with them," Kerr said after Team USA's first practice.
• "There's never been that thought. I've been around the league for a long time, whether it's Chicago or other situations. It's never easy when these things start to run out."

Between the lines: While Olympic prep ramps up, the NBA offseason is still in full swing.

• The Warriors have picked up elite defender De'Anthony Melton , traded for prolific 3-point shooter Buddy Hield from the 76ers and signed power forward Kyle Anderson a.k.a. Slow-Mo from the Minnesota Timberwolves.

What to watch: Whether the Dubs can add another star to play alongside Curry.
