Glasgow 2026 chief hails ‘phenomenal’ success of revamped Commonwealth Games
Phil Batty says event can carry on for another 100 years
‘The Games are relevant, matter and are here to last’
This year’s Commonwealth Games have been “phenomenal” and have shown the events have the potential to carry on for another 100 years, the chief executive of Glasgow 2026 has told the Guardian. Phil Batty also said that the revamped Games, which included only 10 sports rather than the 19 in Birmingham four years ago, showcased a formula that made them financially sustainable as they head to Amdavad in 2030.
“What a phenomenal 11 days,” Batty said. “I have had absolute pride in the way that the city and the Commonwealth has come together. These Games have not only exceeded expectations. They have demonstrated that major events can flex and evolve to be fit for purpose in the future.

Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart says he and his teammates are lining up behind new head coach John Harbaugh.
Asked about Harbaugh on NFL Network, Dart identified one thing that makes him special as a coach: "His leadership."
"The way that he carries himself as an individual, a man, it's something you can really, really respect, day in and day out," Dart continued. "The biggest thing is, he's never trying to change anybody from who they are, but he's putting out his culture, his plan, and it's for us to buy into it. That's really cool to have, when you have all these different guys coming in to a brand new system, who have different experiences, some of us being younger, a lot of the vets, but we're all buying into the exact same plan because we trust him, because of how great of a coach he is and the man he is as well."
The Giants have struggled to find coaching stability since the departure of Tom Coughlin, going from Ben McAdoo to Pat Shurmur to Joe Judge to Brian Daboll. Dart thinks they've brought in the right guy in Harbaugh.

Luis Arráez Drawing Interest From Multiple Teams, Including The Phillies And Yankees
With Tarik Skubal off the board, the second wave of trade-deadline targets is likely to be dealt next. Among the top position players on the trade market is Giants second baseman Luis Arráez, who is having a strong season in the National League West and is drawing interest from multiple contenders. According to Jon Heyman, the Rays, Rangers and Phillies have all checked in with San Francisco about Arráez. The Red Sox, Yankees, Guardians and Padres (one of Arráez's former teams) have also inquired about him, according to Francys Romero. It makes sense that the former batting champion is drawing interest from multiple teams, and it also seems extremely likely that he will be traded. He is set to become a free agent after the season, having signed a one-year deal with the Giants before this season. In 2024 and 2025 combined, Arráez accounted for just 2.5 WAR, according to Baseball Reference. While he still hit higher than .300 over those two seasons, his OPS was .729, well below his career mark of .780, entering play on Sunday. This season, Arráez has accounted for 3.2 WAR in San Francisco, hitting .328 with an .810 OPS. Another appealing part of Arráez is that he can play either first or second base. As Heyman noted today, though, that might be what's keeping the Yankees from really pursuing him, as neither of those positions is a huge need for them. The Giants are looking to sell at the deadline, but they are having trouble doing so with some of their bigger names because of the money that is owed to them in the future. While Arráez is on an expiring deal, shortstop Willy Adames is under contract for another five years after this year and first baseman Rafael Devers has seven years left on his deal after this season. With Skubal off the board and only 10 teams more than three games out of a playoff spot entering play on Sunday, the hot stove will be sizzling on Sunday and Monday. Arráez is one of the names drawing the most interest and one of the bigger certainties to be traded.
