On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins have reached a four year extension agreement worth $212.4M. Tagovailoa’s salary is the highest in Dolphins history. Tagovailoa’s salary is the third highest behind Jacksonville Jaguars Trevor Lawrence and the Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow at $55 million per year.

#2 Charlie O, it’s an Olympic year and it didn’t take long right out of the shoot in Paris when an athlete from Iraq was found to test positive for anabolic steroids. Sajjad Sehen who tested for steroids was found to be positive for metandienone and boldenone. Sehen has been suspended from participating in the games.

#3 After an MRI Los Angeles Angels Mike Trout left knee came back clean. Trout said he had been dealing with scar tissue buildup and inflammation. Trout upon learning the MRI results said “It’s a huge relief for me.” Trout was out with a torn meniscus and had been on the IL since April 30th. Trout was hitting .220, 10 home runs, 14 RBIs in 29 games.

#4 Carolyn McArdle the San Francisco Giants newest permanent PA announcer who was a Sacramento Rivercats PA announcer will be introducing the lineup and other messages at Oracle Park for the rest of the season. After long time former PA announcer Renel did not have her contract renewed last December the Giants had been rotating PA announcers which included Danny Miller the San Jose Sharks and San Jose Earthquakes permanent announcer. McArdle is music director at 98.1 The Breeze.

#5 Other Major League teams have been shopping Oakland A’s outfielder Brent Rooker and pitcher Mason Miller before the trade deadline. Neither are free agents and are making near the minimum and the A’s most likely will hang onto both of them for the rest of this season. Miller is on the 10 day IL after fracturing his pinkie finger in his non throwing hand so he’s been taken off the shelf on any trade rumors.
