That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:

#1 Here’s a crazy potential trade that was brought up on ESPN today the Atlanta Braves Ronald Acuna Jr for the Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes or Skenes for the Minnesota Twins Byron Buxton as the baseball trade deadline heats up here in July.

#2 New York Yankees All Star Jazz Chisholm Jr after starting 28 games in a row at third base will be returning to his second base position. Yanks manager Aaron Boone said. Chisholm is hitting .245, 45 homers, 38 RBIs with ten steals in 59 games. Chisholm had been suffering right shoulder soreness which is one of the reasons for moving back to second base.

#3 San Diego Padres Manny Machado picked up his 2,000th career hit on Monday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks hitting a bullet off the glove of the D-Backs shortstop Geraldo Perdomo. Machado got the hit off pitcher Zac Gallen in the fourth inning and got a standing ovation from the Petco Park fans.

#4 Boston Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman whose been out since May 24th with a strained right quad believes he can skip the minor league rehab session and get right back into the show and in the line up joining the Sox just before the All Star break. His return could happen as soon as the end of this week.

#5 The last time an Sacramento Athletics shortstop started an All Star Game you’d have to go back to 1975 when Bert Campaneris started at that All Star Classic. Jacob Wilson was voted the starting shortstop for the 2025 All Star game representing the A’s in Atlanta on Wed Jul 15th. Wilson has had himself a season hitting .331, nine home runs, 111 hits, and 42 RBIs.

#2 Former teammates Juan Soto of the New York Mets and Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees disagree on who is the better team. Soto said that the Mets are the better team but Judge said the Yankees are ready and are the Big Apple’s better club. “That’s his opinion. He can say what he wants. I definitely disagree with him,” Judge said. “He’s going to be in a great spot. It’s going to be great having him in the town. We’re going to be battling back and forth for quite a few years.

Do you see a third base controversy between Dever and Bregman?

#4  Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout was moved from center field to right field. The idea was to keep Trout’s body preserved and healthy. Trout at 33 is looking forward to playing in the 2025 season for the Halos, “I knew it was coming,” Trout said before the team’s first full-squad workout Monday. “I just wanna be on the field.”

Kotsay is hoping for more joyful times as the A’s open the season in Sacramento.
