Neon lights shining in the dark of night were once a beacon for weary travelers, but then bigger, more modern hotels replaced the popularity of the roadside motels of Anaheim’s past.

One day before the Chicago Bears report to training camp at Halas Hall, the team added to its offensive line by signing veteran Michael Schofield to a one-year deal — another transaction aimed at adding talent and competition up front.

Yasmani Grandal hadn’t been on the field for the Chicago White Sox since June 11. The catcher, understandably, was hyped in his return from the injured list Friday when the Sox played the Cleveland Guardians at Guaranteed Rate Field. “I think in the fourth inning I was still shaking,” Grandal said before Saturday’s doubleheader. “I…

ATLANTA — There have not been many games in this forgettable Angels season like this one.

Q: Hi, Ira. Could Max Strus have a shot at the starting P.J. Tucker slot? Could they start him and Tyler Herro, too? – Eddie. A: The only way Max Strus could start alongside Tyler Herro would be for Max or Jimmy Butler to start at power forward. And that would put considerable stress on…
