Wade, Bosh will become free agents — Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh are joining LeBron James in free agency. They told the Miami Heat on Saturday that they are opting out of the final two years on their contracts, which means they are free to talk to any team starting Tuesday. It’s the same option James exercised earlier in the week. The moves come three days after Bosh, Wade and James met at a posh Miami Beach hotel to discuss their futures. Bosh was owed $42.7 million and Wade was owed $41.8 million on the final two years of their contracts. Their moves provide the Heat financial flexibility to sign additional players while quite possibly being able to convince Bosh, Wade and James into staying. Players cannot sign new contracts until July 10.

McCorory takes women’s 400 title — Francena McCorory won the 400-meter championship Saturday in the U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Sacramento, California, finishing in 49.48 seconds to edge Olympic champion Sanya Richards-Ross. McCorory had her best career time and the fastest in the world this year. It’s McCorory’s first U.S. title after three runner-up finishes. She also won the 400 at the U.S. Indoor Championships in February. Dawn Harper-Nelson beat Queen Harrison by a hundredth of a second in the women’s 100 hurdles, leaning at the tape to win her third U.S. title. Gil Roberts went wire-to-wire to win the men’s 400 in 44.53. He had hoped to be paired against LaShawn Merritt, who holds the fastest time in the world this year, but Merritt pulled out of the meet after winning his heat on Thursday. Emma Coburn won the women’s 3,000 steeplechase in 9:19.72, a meet record and the third-fastest time ever by an American. Sharon Day-Monroe had 6,470 points to win the heptathlon.
