Sacramento A’s Relocation podcast Daniel Dullum: With A’s finalizing Coliseum sale with AASEG will pro sports ever return to Oakland?

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

The African American Sports Entertainment Group has purchased the second half of the Oakland Coliseum from the Sacramento A’s for $125 million. AASEG plans to do a $5 billion renovation of the Coliseum Complex as announced on Tue Jul 29, 2025 in a press conference at the Coliseum. (ABC Sky 7 News still)

Sacramento A’s Relocation podcast Daniel Dullum:

#1 The team formerly known as the Oakland A’s received approval on Tuesday to sell $125 million it’s share of the Oakland Coliseum to the African American Sports Entertainment Group. AASEG had bought the A’s half and previously had bought the other half of the Coliseum from Alameda County.

#2 The Alameda County Board of Supervisors took it to a vote and voted unanimously to approve the sale and plan to transfer the ownership for major sports and entertainment to AASEG who are focused on community development.

#3 After years of waiting the sale finally brings years of waiting to conclusion and the sale is expected to close on June 30, 2026. The CEO of Loop Capital James Reynolds who is the financer for AASEG said, “We are pleased to achieve this long awaited milestone.”

#4 Currently the Oakland Coliseum is hosting three teams-two sports. San Francisco Unicorns Cricket, the Oakland Soul (USL W League), and the Oakland Roots (USL M League). There is no doubt the AASEG plans to build at the Coliseum it’s just too bad they can’t get another MLB team there.

#5 Oakland Supervisor Nat Miley said at the press conference on Tuesday for the announcement of the Coliseum sale to AASEG that the loss of three professional is heartbreaking, that losing the A’s, Raiders, and Warriors is something that Miley couldn’t have imagined.

Athletics podcast Lincoln Juarez

#1 For the A’s to have any chance at turning this disappointing season around they needed a good start to the second half. Dropping five of the first six following the All-Star break, what is the message to the team?

#2 Nick Kurtz has been a bright spot for the A’s since his debut with the team. He is coming off of winning AL Player of the Week last week and a four home-run game Friday night against the Astros. How much is his presence felt in the lineup?

#3 Luis Severino looked Stellar in his last start in the A’s win over Houston Thursday night. How does this affect his value going into the trade deadline and can we still expect to see him be moved?

#4 The A’s exploded for 15 runs Friday night against the Astros in a 15-3 win to take the first two games in Houston. How can they find more consistent offense and who in the lineup can lead the way?

#5 Brent Rooker mentioned in a statement Friday that he is “not going anywhere” at the trade deadline. The A’s obviously see him as a big piece of their future and he values his role with the team and the contract extension he signed…

Kurtz and the Curse Breakers Power Past Astros 15-3 in Houston Beatdown

Kurtz and the Curse Breakers Power Past Astros 15-3 in Houston Beatdown

By Mauricio Segura

The Sacramento A’s brought a sledgehammer to Daikin Park on Friday night and reduced the Houston Astros to rubble in a thunderous 15-3 win, their most lopsided road victory of the season and a statement performance from their youth-infused core.

At the center of the storm was rookie phenom Nick Kurtz, who launched four home runs and drove in seven, putting an exclamation point on a, now 12-game hit streak and further cementing his status as the front-runner for AL Rookie of the Year.

Kurtz, the A’s 22-year-old breakout slugger, wasted no time getting the party started, singling in the first inning before unloading for a two-run blast in the second. He wasn’t finished. He went deep again in the sixth, eighth, then capped his night with a three-run rocket in the ninth, giving him 23 home runs on the season, most among MLB rookies, and a staggering 44 RBIs in his last 38 games. His third homer tied him with Eric Chavez for the most in a season by an Athletic under the age of 23 since 2000, and now stands on top of the A’s record book.

But this wasn’t a solo act. Tyler Soderstrom crushed his 19th homer of the year, a solo shot in the third, while Shea Langeliers followed with a two-run blast in the fourth to help Sacramento build a 9-0 cushion. The A’s put up crooked numbers in five different innings, scoring three in the first, two in the second, one in the third, three more in the fourth, and a devastating four-run ninth that put the game out of reach for good.

Sacramento’s 16-hit barrage included contributions from nearly everyone in the lineup. Carlos Cortes, in just his second major league game, notched three hits and two RBIs. Jacob Wilson walked, singled, and scored twice. Gio Urshela stayed hot with three hits, while Lawrence Butler broke out of an 0-for-9 slump with a single and a run. Even Colby Thomas, fresh off a recall from Triple-A Las Vegas, got in on the act with a hit-by-pitch and a run scored.

On the mound, left-hander Jeffrey Springs shook off a rough outing in Cleveland and delivered a gem, scattering five hits over six shutout innings with six strikeouts. He retired nine of the first ten batters and induced a pair of double plays to erase early base traffic. It was a critical bounce-back for Springs, who leads the A’s in wins and continues to pitch deep into games when his team needs stability.

The bullpen followed suit, with Elvis Alvarado and Ben Bowden each logging clean innings. Bowden, making his first MLB appearance since 2021, closed things out despite allowing a ninth-inning RBI double to Yainer Diaz.

The Athletics’ win snapped a string of 17 losses in their last 23 games at Daikin Park and improved them to 4-4 against Houston this season. It also marked the latest eruption for an offense that now leads the majors in extra-base hits in July. Sacramento’s 15 runs were the most they’ve scored since May, and they’ve now homered in 12 of their last 13 games.

As for Kurtz, the rookie continues to make history by the week. His six-hit, eight-RBI performance is the most RBIs by an A’s rookie in a single game since Ben Grieve in 1998, and his 23 homers through 66 games is an unprecedented pace for any player in franchise history.

Starting pitchers for Saturday’s game three of the series for the A’s LHP Jacob Lopez (3-6 ERA 4.60) for the Astros RHP Hunter Brown (9-4 ERA 2.57) first pitch 4:10pm PT in Houston.

Houston RHP Hunter Brown (9-4 2.57 ERA) opposes LHP Jacob Lopez (3-6 4.60 ERA) when the series continues Saturday.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary:How does the A’s Controversy compare to others in Baseball?

How does the A’s Controversy compare to others in Baseball?

That’s Amaury News and Commentary

By Amaury Pi-González

There is no doubt that the 1919 Black Sox Scandal which involved eight Chicago White Sox players who were accused of intentionally losing the World Series against the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for money from gamblers is the biggest scandal in the game, primarily due to the players’ betrayal of the game and its fans.

Unless something even more scandalous rocks the baseball world, this will remain the undisputed number one scandal. Gambling has been a long-standing issue in the game. In 1877, the Louisville Grays were embroiled in a gambling scandal during the National League’s second season.

And to close the book on gambling. Most recently, the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal involved the team illegally using a video replay system to steal signs from opposing teams during the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

There are many other scandals in “the grand old game”, a sentimental description often used to refer to baseball, the richest American sport, which is ingrained in our culture longer than any other game, dating back to 1874, when the United States had 37 States and eight major league baseball teams competing in the National Association, which later became the National League, as stated above.

The Oakland A’s relocation is not a scandal (at least not at present), but has definitely been a controversy to this day, as they are in the second phase (Sacramento) of what they call their final and permanent location in Las Vegas, Nevada, which would be an unprecedented fourth home for this franchise.

Philadelphia, Kansas City, Oakland, Las Vegas. No major league franchise, on record, has played in four different cities. Although the A’s were founded in 1901 in Philadelphia, where they played for 54 seasons, Oakland was the city where the A’s played the longest, for a total of 57 seasons; they were the Oakland A’s.

The relocation of the A’s was announced by ownership on April 4, 2024. A’s fans feel betrayed by the team’s owner for moving the team, considering the deep roots and very passionate fan base in Oakland. The Oakland Athletics have won four World Series titles and six American League Pennants while playing in Oakland while the A’s relocation is not a scandal, it is a significant controversy, as numerous baseball personalities on television, radio, podcasts, print media, players past and present, as well as fans, across the country have called John Fisher the worst owner in Sports.

That is not a title Mr.Fisher would like to carry the rest of his life, until the Lord calls him to the big executive office in the sky, although I would not be surprised if the Lord sends him back to the minor leagues, Class A level.

Ultimately, a team reflects the personality of the owner. And the best Oakland A’s ownership was during Walter A. Haas Jr.’s tenure, during which the Oakland A’s won one World Series (1989) and three consecutive American League pennants (1988-1990).

In 1989, the A’s also set a Bay Area attendance record, with over 2.9 million fans, which at the time was higher than the San Francisco Giants, who were struggling to sell tickets at Candlestick Park.

The front office of the A’s had professionals who knew what they were doing, such as Andy Dolich and Sandy Alderson. Most importantly, the A’s were also known for their community outreach, a characteristic that Mr. Fisher never demonstrated during the years he ran the team in Oakland and currently in Sacramento.

Since the A’s departure the Oakland Ballers, also known as the Oakland B’s (a new team) was formed by fans and community members in direct response to the A’s betrayal of Oakland and their fans.. This team is part of the Pioneer League, and fans have responded well to this Oakland team, keeping baseball alive in ‘The Town’. Quote: Philadelphia Phillies owner John Middleton, who stated, ‘We have an obligation. We are accountable to the fans and to the city. If you don’t approach it that way, you should not be an owner, in my opinion”.

A’s Bring the Heat and Silence the Bats in Houston 5-2

A’s Bring the Heat and Silence the Bats in Houston 5-2

By Mauricio Segura

The Sacramento Athletics didn’t play around Thursday night. With the season slipping into its second half, the Green and Gold made a loud statement in Houston, riding a polished outing from Luis Severino and just enough timely hitting to beat the Houston Astros 5-2 at Daikin Park.

From the very first pitch at 7:10 PM, it was clear the A’s came ready to win with sharp defense, aggressive baserunning, and a cool, collected mound presence. That energy paid off quickly, and this time, the box score tells the story just as much as the vibes.

It all started with Max Schuemann slicing a leadoff single in the top of the first, but the A’s weren’t able to cash in. No matter, Luis Severino came out in the bottom half and matched that energy by silencing the Astros’ top of the order. Taylor Trammell did manage a single and a stolen base, but Severino struck out two and got Christian Walker to bounce back to the mound, keeping things scoreless.

Sacramento found its breakthrough in the second. Lawrence Butler worked a walk and quickly swiped second, his 17th stolen base of the year, then advanced to third on a bad throw. Carlos Cortes did his job with a sacrifice fly to center, and just like that, the A’s were on the board.

They didn’t stop there. After a clean bottom of the second from Severino, his A’s strung together a sequence of smart, situational baseball in the fourth. Cortes singled, Gio Urshela followed with another hit, and Luis Urías kept the line moving with a single of his own to load the bases.

A forceout off Schuemann’s bat plated Cortes, and then Nick Kurtz drilled a double to right to bring in Urshela. Schuemann got thrown out at the plate trying to score from first, but by then the damage was done. The A’s were up 3-0, and confidence was mounting.

The fifth brought more of the same. After Brent Rooker drew a leadoff walk, Tyler Soderstrom smacked a double to left, setting up a sac fly from Shea Langeliers to make it 4-0. The Green and Gold weren’t lighting up the scoreboard with home runs, but they were executing small-ball perfectly, and the Astros had no answer.

The only real power moment for Sacramento came in the sixth, when Luis Urías launched a solo homer to left center, his eighth of the season. That stretched the lead to 5-0, and it would prove to be all they needed.

Severino was in full control throughout his six shutout innings. Houston’s hitters couldn’t get into any kind of rhythm. In fact, by the time the Astros finally showed life in the seventh, on a Victor Caratini double and a pair of sacrifice plays, it was already too little, too late. They did scratch across two runs to make it 5-2, but Sacramento’s bullpen slammed the door shut after that.

Michael Kelly took over in the eighth and got two outs before Mason Miller entered and cleaned up the inning. In the ninth, Steven Okert closed it out with flair. He walked one but didn’t flinch, striking out Christian Walker and inducing a final flyout to center from Jon Singleton to end it.

It wasn’t the flashiest win of the year, but it might have been one of the smartest. Seven different A’s recorded hits, four of them had RBIs, and the team swiped three bases while making zero errors. Kurtz was a standout, going 3-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI, while Urshela also had a multi-hit game and scored once.

Starting pitchers for Friday night in Houston: For the A’s  LHP Jeffery Springs (8-7 ERA 4.18) for the Astros RHP Ryan Gusto (9-3 ERA 4.46) first pitch at Daiken Park 5:10pm PT.

#3 Sears is a trade block prospect. Sears has pitched consistently in spite of his eight loses and some team no doubt would like to pick him up before this month’s trade deadline someone who he could help in the post season.

#4 The A’s only run came when Nick Kurtz hit a double that scored Brent Rooker in the top of the sixth inning to tie the game at 1-1. The A’s badly need to wake up their bats they were also beat by scores of 7-2 and 6-2 Friday and Saturday respectively by the Rangers.

Kurtz Comes Through but A’s Can’t Close That Lonestar Gap in 2-1 loss

Kurtz Comes Through but A’s Can’t Close That Lonestar Gap

By Mauricio Segura

In a game that often felt like a pitcher’s duel wrapped in a chess match, the Sacramento Athletics were edged out 2-1 by the Texas Rangers on Wednesday night at Globe Life Field. Despite flashes of promise and a gutsy rally in the sixth, the Green and Gold couldn’t quite crack the code against a sharp Rangers pitching staff.

Both teams came out swinging, or at least attempting to. The first inning was a quick snapshot of what would become a recurring theme: early contact, solid defense, and outs stacking up like dominoes. The Athletics’ top three, Jacob Wilson, Brent Rooker, and Nick Kurtz, were retired in order, all on fly balls and liners that found gloves instead of grass.

The Rangers, on the other hand, managed a bit of noise thanks to a Corey Seager double, but he was ultimately stranded at third after Marcus Semien’s flyout and an Adolis García strikeout.

By the second inning, it was clear: if anyone wanted to score Wednesday night, they’d have to fight for it. The A’s struck out three times in a row, victims of Patrick Corbin’s sharp control. Corbin, making one of his strongest starts of the season, carved up the Sacramento lineup like a man with a plan.

The breakthrough didn’t come until the bottom of the third, when Corey Seager connected with a pitch and sent it flying over the center field wall. It was Seager’s 15th homer of the season, a solo shot that gave Texas the narrowest of leads. For a while, it looked like that might be all the Rangers needed.

But the sixth inning changed the tone.

Brent Rooker broke through with a two-out single, and Nick Kurtz followed with a line-drive double to right that brought Rooker home, tying the game at 1-1. It was Kurtz’s 15th double of the year, and it couldn’t have come at a better time.

Shea Langeliers kept things moving with a soft infield single, putting runners on the corners and forcing Texas to pull Corbin in favor of Jon Gray. With a chance to take the lead, the A’s sent up Tyler Soderstrom as a pinch hitter, but his sharp fly ball landed in center fielder Michael Helman’s glove to end the threat.

The Rangers weren’t done. In the bottom of the seventh, a two-out rally sparked by Wyatt Langford’s walk and Jonah Heim’s fly-ball double gave Texas the lead once again. Heim’s shot to short left was just enough to score Langford and give the home team a 2-1 edge.

The Athletics had chances late but couldn’t capitalize. In the eighth, Rooker collected his third hit of the game, but Kurtz struck out to end the frame. And in the ninth, Langeliers gave the A’s a flicker of hope with a leadoff single, but a flyout and two strikeouts, the final one on Gio Urshela, snuffed out the comeback bid.

It was a game that could’ve gone either way, but in this latest chapter of a developing Sacramento season, the story ended with a familiar note: close, but not quite.

A’s open up a four game series on Thursday night at Denkin Park with the Houston Astros. Starter for the A’s RHP Luis Severino (3-11 ERA 5.10) and for the Astros RHP Jason Alexander (1-0 ERA 8.40) first pitch in Houston 5:10pm PT.

Sacramento A’s podcast Michael Roberson:

#1 Jacob Lopez got the nod for Sacramento and looked sharp early, working around a walk and fanning two in the opening frame. But despite his best efforts, the Green and Gold bats were just as cold as the air-conditioned stadium they played in dropping the contest to the Texas Rangers 7-2. 

#2 Despite a solo shot from rookie phenom Nick Kurtz and a few glimmers of offensive life, the A’s couldn’t overcome a middle-innings surge by the Texas Rangers, falling 7-2 at Globe Life Field in Arlington.

#3  Through the first three innings, the Athletics managed just one baserunner, a walk by Kurtz, and didn’t register a hit until his double in the fourth.

#4 Despite some bullpen stability from the Rangers Elvis Alvarado and Sean Newcomb, who each pitched scoreless innings, Texas kept applying pressure. A sac bunt and a pair of timely singles in the seventh and eighth innings added two more runs for the Rangers, stretching their lead to 7-2 and putting the game out of reach.

#5 For Tuesday the A’s will start RHP JT Ginn (1-2 ERA 4.91) for the Rangers RHP Jacob deGrom (9-2 ERA 2.32) first pitch 5:05pm PT
