On the MLB podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Charlie, you’ve spent many a decade cover the Oakland A’s going through the stands and pressbox speaking with the fans and reporters you can see it on their faces during this current homestand with the Cincinnati Reds ironically another team you covered back in your days in Ohio. Fans at the Oakland Coliseum are pushing for A’s owner John Fisher to sell the team.

#2 Charlie, how possible is it that the A’s will move into their minor league affiliate the Las Vegas Aviators park in 2024?

#3 The Aviators are fairly new tenants in that ballpark coming from old Cashman Field how excited or not excited do they have to be sharing a ballpark that most likely will have to change from grass to turf for some 150 plus games?

#4 Charlie, San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres play game two in Mexico City today. The response to this series has been by the local fans. Do you see Mexico City having a shot at getting an expansion team?

#5 If you missed it on Friday San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler took the subway to get to Afredo Harp Helu Stadium for practice and ended up getting off one stop before the ballpark station because the station was under construction as passengers needed to use the bus to get to the next station. Kapler knew just enough Spanish to ask the driver to let him off at the freeway near the stadium and Kapler had to cross three lanes of highway to get to the ballpark saying he’ll take the team bus for the two game series.
