On Headline Sports podcast with Charlie O:

#1 The Oakland A’s plans to play at least eight games away from the Tropicana ballpark starting in 2028 for the sake of branding the game in neutral site games. The move could impact the team’s financial projections plus the A’s need to sell out every home game to keep up with costs of the construction and payments of the park. Their departure for eight to ten games will impact their ability to meet their budget schedule.

#2 Anytime the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers face each other something will leap out of the headlines and Dodgers pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto is no exception he pitched seven innings, two hits, two walks and seven strikeouts to get by the Yankees 2-1 at Yankee Stadium on Friday.

#3 The Yankees are relieved about learning that Juan Soto had forearm inflammation as opposed to structural damage damage that could have put him out for the season.

#4 Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager who suffered a hamstring injury and was not in Friday’s line up against the San Francisco Giants. Seager could miss multiple games and because of tightness in his left hamstring. Seager came out of Wednesday’s game reaching for his hamstring after hitting an RBI single. He did appear on the field before Friday’s game but had to leave and sit out the game.

#5 It’s been a huge month for the Negro Leagues Museum and Museum president Bob Kendrick saying the Negro Leagues is trending and he looks forward to hosting the Rickwood Field game on June 20th in Birmingham a game that is a tribute to the Negro Leagues that will feature the St Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants.

The Tribute game will feature the St Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants and it will be played on Birmingham Alabama home of the Birmingham Alabama how important is this game as a tribute to so many black players during the Negro League years?

#3 On Saturday it was a long day for Detroit Tigers third baseman Zach McKinstry and his teammates. McKinstry playing third base committed a three base error when Minnesota Twins Ryan Jeffers hit a ground ball that went through his legs that allowed three runners to score. Later Tigers manager AJ Hinch called on McKinstry to come into pitch as the Tigers had already used five pitchers. McKinstry walked Manuel Margot with one runners on. McKinstry then gave up a home run to Matt Wallner which then accounted for six of the Twins 11 runs that McKinstry was responsible for.

#4 More Twins news you might remember Carlos Correa who couldn’t sign on with either the New York Mets or San Francisco Giants at the beginning of the 2023 season and later got on with the Twins. The Twins shortstop Correa was placed on the ten day injured list on Saturday due to a right oblique strain. Correa was seen clutching his right side during an at bat. Correa teammate Byron Buxton said it was like a gut punch watching Correa having to leave the game.
