On Headline Sports with Charlie O:

#1 The Los Angeles Dodgers who got swept by the Philadelphia Phillies and lost two out of three to the Detroit Tigers are looking at ways to back in this thing again. They might be consider making some trades and looking for some help as they have some key players on the IL, Mookie Bets, Clayton Kershaw, Jason Heyward, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and Dustin May just to name a few.

#2 The Toronto Blue Jays Bo Bichette is on the ten day IL with a left calf injury. Bichette injured his calf running up the first base line after hitting a line out to right field. How does this effect the Jays missing a bat like Bichette’s.

#3 The Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Yandy Diaz was put on the restricted list because of personal family issues. The Rays ended up calling infielder Curtis Mead from the Rays triple A team in Durham.

#4 It’s a Major League debut to be remembered by the Oakland A’s Jacob Wilson but for all the wrong reasons. On Friday night Wilson rounding third base after advancing from second pulled up injured and in the dugout just couldn’t get back on track and had to leave the ball game.

#5 The Las Vegas Stadium Authority hosted a meeting on Thursday with Oakland A’s owner John Fisher’s business partner Sandy Dean at the Las Vegas Convention Center to discuss the plans for the new Las Vegas ballpark on the Vegas Strip. Dean told the Stadium Authority with Authority president Steven Hill on the dais that the A’s plan to spend $350 million of the $380 million of the public money. Neither Hill nor Dean disclosed where or how Fisher will come up with his share of the $500 million towards construction costs will come from. Last report was Fisher was looking for investors to help come up with the costs but still crickets on that as well.
