Today's UPDATES

Today is the MLB Trade Deadline and we've got more trade talks for you before the time is up on teams who trying to make a big move. In today's Max Sports Rundown, we have learned more MLB trades from the past couple of days, last Thursday, five trades were made starting with the Blue Jays trading Seung-Hwan Oh to the Rockies in exchange for Chad Spanberger and Forrest Wall. Patrick Sandoval was traded to the Angels by the Astros who in return were given Martin Maldonado, Kodi Medeiros and Wilber Perez were sent to the White Sox by Brewers who would then acquired Joakim Soria, the Yankees traded Brandon Drury and Billy McKinney to the Blue Jays in exchange for J.A. Happ, and the Rays gave up Johnny Ventures to the Braves in exchange International signing slot. Five more trades were made last Friday, the Cubs traded Eddie Butler and Rollie Lacy to the Rangers in exchange Cole Hamels and cash considerations, Seth Elledge was traded to the Cardinals by the Mariners in exchange for Sam Tuivailala, Jhoan Duran, Gabriel Maciel and Ernie De La Trinidad were all traded by the Diamondbacks and then sent to the Twins who in return gave up Eduardo Escobar, the Phillies made a trade for Asdrubal Cabrera from the Mets who were given Franklyn Kilome in return, and the Twins traded Ryan Pressly to the Astros in exchange for Jorge Alcala and Gilberto Celestino. Last Saturday, the Brewers were given Mike Moustakas by the Royals who would later trade Brett Phillips and Jorge Lopez, Chasen Shreve and Giovanny Gallegos were sent to the Cardinals by the Yankees who have acquired Luke Voit. Clearly, all of these trades happen during the MLB season and not at the actual trade deadline, we'll have more on this tomorrow and hopefully a NBA Free Agency update along with it, but for now, check out these results down below.

WWE SummerSlam is three weeks away, and it seems like everyone is ready expect for person, he has held the Universal Championship for now 483 Days, and he is the subject of today's #TwitterTrend. Last night during Monday Night Raw, Brock Lesnar actually showed up to work, but did nothing except stay in his locker room, kick back on his couch and read magazines. There seemed to be no moving Lesnar, though Roman Reigns was not all surprised by this selfish attitude by Lesnar, so Raw General Manger Kurt Angle demanded to Paul Heyman that Lesnar show up to the ring or Heyman's WWE contract would be terminated. Not even Lesnar's own advocate could talk some sense into him and he got a little physical with Heyman and Lesnar told him to stop bother. Later, Kurt Angle was given a order by Stephanie McMahon to have Roman Reigns escorted out of the arena by the police, despite the fact that Reigns isn't the one being disrespectful to authority right now. But I'll tell you what, Reigns and Angle made some good points last night, even though there have only been four Universal Champions since the title was introduced two years ago, Brock Lesnar has the worst of them all, he hardly does anything for the company and for the WWE Universe. So when Kurt Angle was about to fire Paul Heyman, Lesnar finally came out to the ring, and what did he do next, he gave an F5 to the RAW GM and shoved Heyman to the ground, and then left the ring with the Universal Title on his shoulder. If you think that's all and, the following tweets show you how messed up this issue has become.

Legit, the most I have ever liked Lesnar. #RAW

MIKE B @michaelmelboyd

When Brock Lesnar said “I don’t watch the show” I felt that because I can’t either lol #WWE #RAW

Aaron Oster @TheAOster

That's a different outdoors magazine than Brock Lesnar was reading before, right? #RAW

Dave Schilling @dave_schilling ·

Gotta hand it to WWE there. The last thing making Brock Lesnar likable is Paul Heyman. If he’s out, they just might pull this off.

“I came here to read magazines and kick ass ... and I’m all out of magazines.” - Brock Lesnar, I imagine

There's a new movie trailer out today and it's a real scream, in fact, it is total Venom. Sony Pictures and Marvel has released a second trailer of Venom starring Tom Hardy and it had me all creeped out, but in a good way so to speak. We can finally witness this character for what he truly is, a disgusting bad@$$, i never like Venom from the moment I first saw him as a kid, but I started to learn more about alien symbiote over the years and realized it can be used for good as much as evil, but as long as the it can get along with its host. Eddie Brock has also been an interesting character since his life has been all easy for him and he has a couple anger issues of his own, which is just perfect for a symbiote looking for all kinds of trouble. The new trailer shows us that there might be a symbiote army on the way and only Venom can stop, but he'll have to get passed a symbiote called Riot which has been described in the movie as a "body-hopper", and then there's Carlton Drake, played by Riz Ahmed, who is an inventor and the leader of the Life Foundation experimenting on the symbiote. I haven't done this in a long time, but for today's Web Choice playlist, I have gathered a few trailer reactions from YouTube viewers who watched the trailer this morning, and here'a a look at the trailer itself.
