KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Pro Bowl left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. reported to training camp Monday, the same day pads went on for the Kansas City Chiefs, giving Patrick Mahomes his blindside protector with plenty of time before their preseason opener. Brown and the Chiefs had been working throughout the offseason on a long-term contract, but the sides were unable to come together before the mid-July deadline. The Chiefs’ final offer was six years and nearly $140 million with about $30 million due at signing, which would have made him one of the highest-paid lineman in league history. Instead,…

NEW YORK (AP) — There’s no sorcery to Aaron Judge’s recent success, although it looks that way, even close up. “Just takes the magic wand and does his thing,” Yankees ace Gerrit Cole said. No doubt, this is Judge’s show. He added a new trick Friday night, too — making someone else’s homer disappear. Judge became the first big leaguer with 40 homers this season, smashed a grand slam for No. 41 and robbed a home run in right field as New York rallied to beat the Kansas City Royals 11-5 Friday night. “He’s amazing,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.…
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt used to tell his son, Clark, that his favorite place on the planet was Arrowhead Stadium. If it’s up to the current chairman, the club will be there long into the future. During his annual trip to training camp, Clark Hunt said Friday that the preference of the Chiefs is to renovate the aging facility east of downtown Kansas City rather than build a new stadium. But that will depend on a number of studies that are examining the structural integrity of a building celebrating its opening 50 years ago this…
