This August 13 MLB Field of Dreams game will take place in Dyersville, Iowa. The game is airing on Netflix, returning to the iconic movie site using a 3,000-seat stadium. The Minnesota Twins will host the Philadelphia Phillies.

A Minor League Baseball game between the Iowa Cubs and St Paul Saints will precede it on August 11. The venue is a specially constructed professional ballpark designed to fit within the landscape of the original movie set, built 500 feet from it, with a capacity of approximately 8,000 fans.

For baseball fans, this could be on your ‘bucket list’. MLB will handle all ticket sales, and you can check for updates and official information on the MLB Field of Dreams page. https://www.fieldofdreamsmoviesite.com/mlbatfod

Sportstalk is honored to do our podcast at Original Joes 301 South First Street in downtown San Jose. We thank our hosts and Original Joe’s owners Brad Rocca, Michelle Rocca, Matt Rocca, server Chris, and manager Greg Bardakos. Original Joes welcomes our panel, Marko Ukalovic (San Jose Earthquakes and San Jose Barracuda beat writer and host), Michael Roberson (Stanford Cardinal beat writer), Lincoln Juarez (San Jose State University Spartans beat writer), Vince Cestone (SF Giants reporter), and producer Lee Leonard.

On May 24, 1956 Louis J. Rocca, Louis J. Rocca, Jr. (Babe), Arthur Tortore (Otto) and Anthony Caramagno (Nino) opened “Original Joe’s” in San Jose. The four partners wanted to bring an authentic San Francisco restaurant to the South Bay. They were convinced that if they could keep it authentic, they could serve the community by producing their traditional home-style Italian American Cuisine. Their desire was so great that they actually transported San Francisco French Bread via Greyhound Bus everyday for the first two years of operation.
 In the early 1970’s downtown San Jose started to flounder. Businesses were relocating to the outskirts of town. Original Joe’s became one of the cornerstones for an ever changing downtown. As the genres of food have changed over the years, Original Joe’s maintains its traditional roots. Still owned and operated by the Rocca Family, Original Joe’s continues to strive to replicate the dining experience that people have enjoyed for over half of a century.

That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast: Will MLB avoid a work stoppage?; Can any MLB team stop Yanks or Dodgers?; plus more news

That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Will MLB avoid a labor dispute or lockout later in 2026?
With the current collective bargaining agreement scheduled to expire after the 2026 season and owners pushing for changes like a potential salary cap, there’s significant uncertainty about labor peace beyond this season.

#2 Can any team realistically stop the reigning champions and favorites?
The Los Angeles Dodgers enter 2026 as back-to-back National League champions and World Series winners and will try to become the first team since the 2000s Yankees to three-peat.

#3 How will the new Automated Ball-Strike (ABS) challenge system affect games?
MLB is implementing an automated strike-zone challenge system for the 2026 season, which could meaningfully change umpiring, game strategy, and pace of play.

#4 Which remaining free agents or trades will shape contending rosters?
With notable free agents still unsigned and trade rumors circulating, questions remain about where players like top free agents sign and how teams will bolster key areas.

#5 Amaury for the Sacramento A’s who will win key roster spots, especially around the infield?
With new acquisitions and players like Zack Gelof competing for positioning, a central question is whether veterans or younger talent will earn starting roles come Opening Day.

#3 With the Seahawks favored by around 4.5 points in the odds, what strategies could the Patriots employ to keep the game close or pull off an upset?

#1 Amuary, the San Francisco Giants signed former Philadelphia Phillie outfielder Harrison Bader. Bader in the 2025 season hit .277, 17 home runs, 54 RBIs, with 124 hits. Talk about how he’ll fit in at centerfield for San Francisco and will he be a five hole or four hole hitter?

Sproat played in the Mets double A affiliate Binghamton and triple A Syracuse last season.

#4 All the pro teams in Minnesota, the Lynx, the Twins, the Wild, the Vikings, the Timberwolves and United FC called for calm and peace and for Minnesota based companies to work with state, local and federal officers as protests and tensions with ICE have hit an all time high. The Timberwolves had their game against the Golden State Warriors postponed on Saturday night due high volume of protesting in downtown Minneapolis due to the shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti by ICE officers.

#5 The Las Vegas A’s according to reports the construction of the A’s $2 billion Las Vegas sadium project at Tropicana and Las Vegas Blvd is advancing quickly and that the first and second decks of the park are seeing concrete pouring and steel and crane work being done at the park.
