On Headline Sports podcast with Bruce Magowan:

#1 Bruce, it was reported this week by Sports Business Journal that there are number MLB clubs that are not happy about the Oakland A’s relocation to Las Vegas for various reasons, that their still going to be revenue sharing, going lose gate revenue moving from the sixth largest market to the 40th size market, and relocation fee waved so the next owner who wants to move doesn’t have to pay a relocation fee.

#2 Bad faith negotiating has been a complaint about how A’s owner John Fisher who was ten percent of the way towards deal with the City of Oakland but broke off the deal and said he had a binding deal in Vegas.

#3 Bruce, the New York Mets are big time sellers and before the trade deadline first David Robertson was deal to the Miami Marlins and then pitcher Max Scherzer wanted to meet with the Mets brass and got a deal out of New York to the Texas Rangers, then 48 hours later the Justin Verlander was traded to the Houston Astros. Is this a matter of the Mets trying to unload their humongous payroll or they just want to have a clean slate and rebuild the club again.

#4 Bruce, we talked about the San Francisco Giants and their chances of chasing the first place Los Angeles Dodgers, you mentioned they need the hitting, they’ve cooled off since their ten game win streak, they really will depend on Alex Cobb and Logan Webb for pretty much the rest of the way.

#5 Turning to football Bruce, the 49ers have four quarterbacks in camp with three jobs open. Brock Purdy pretty much looks like a lock for first string, but second string could be interesting with Trey Lance and Sam Darnold and the four quarterback in camp whose looked pretty good is former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Brandon Allen.
