The Takeaway

The MLB trade deadline was the day's real engine, taking four of the ten slots on its own: Tarik Skubal rumors, the Rangers landing Logan O'Hoppe and Chase Silseth, a 12-inning White Sox walk-off over the Yankees, and Randy Dobnak's first win in five years. Add Taysom Hill's exit from New Orleans and a 4-1 Atlético Madrid preseason result, and sports held six of ten.

Entertainment supplied the top slot — Natalie Portman's pregnancy photo — and the day's quietest story, with two musicians lost hours apart: Glen Hansard at 56 and Kavinsky at 50. Both were artists best known for a single crossover moment, 'Falling Slowly' and 'Nightcall', which is exactly why the tributes reached well past their own audiences.
