In this week’s Sports Insider, fans can take an in-depth look at baseball as the game hits its midsummer classic, the All-Star break, as well as a look at the Braves before and after the break. Plus we profile the amateur draft taking place this week.

A wide range of topics in this week’s 74-page section also includes a detailed team-by-team overview of the NFL’s offseason moves — and which franchises are the winners and the losers.

We also look at how veteran soccer players are staying on the field longer than ever before, as well as the ways that researchers are trying to quantify why older players are more effective in their 30s than they used to be.

And we have a profile of a former pro soccer player who is speaking up about his battle with CTE and the possible connection to years of heading the ball on the pitch.

Plus, fans will find much more to check out about the British Open, basketball, distance running and other sports all week long in the latest Sports Insider.
