On Headline Sports podcast with Auggie:
#1 MLB owners have not taken a vote on relocating the Oakland A’s to Las Vegas do you think there is haggling going on behind the scenes and the owners don’t like the idea of moving a team in the fifth largest market to what would be the smallest market in MLB.
#2 If a move is made how much will MLB owner be concerned about losing the gate in the smallest MLB Park and smallest media MLB market.
#3 Golden Gate Fields Race Track will close permanently after the ’23 Meet in December 2023. The historic track is the last of what were two race tracks the other being Bay Meadows. The Stronach Group will double business at the Santa Anita Race Track and train at San Luis Rey Downs and at San Luis Rey Downs in the Southland.
#4 The Boston Red Sox shutout the A’s in a laugher Monday night. The Sox Connor Wong drove in three runs and pitcher Nick Pivetta matched a career high striking out 13 batters in the Sox 7-0 shoutout of the A’s at the Coliseum.
#5 Frustrations for the A’s Ryan Noda who was called out on strikes drew a line by the plate and was ejected by plate umpire Emil Jimenez. A’s manager Mark Kotsay came out to discuss and he and Noda went back towards the dugout.
