#1 Jessica, the new Las Vegas Tropicana ballpark will feature a translucent roof that will give you some sun but your protected from the outside temperatures which can get well over 100. The Las Vegas A’s were at one time considering a retractable roof but this will be a fix roof and windows can be opened to get the fans some air. The covering set up will be similar to Allegiant Stadium where the Raiders play.

#2 Justin Verlander has found his heart back in the heart of Texas once more getting dealt back to Dusty Baker and the Houston Astros. Verlander who pitched for the Mets this season. Verlander was signed with the Mets for two years worth $86.7 million the Mets will be on the hook for $35 million of Verlander’s salary as he heads to Houston.

They just recently acquired right hand starting pitcher Jack Flaherty from the St Louis Cardinals to shore up the pitching staff. Flaherty was 7-6 with an ERA 4.43 with St Louis.

#4 The New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rogers says he’s willing to take a $35 million pay cut. Rogers said he was willing to take the pay cut so Jets general manager Joe Douglas could pursue some more talent to shore up the team. Rogers gets $112 million and will get $75 million in guaranteed money for the 2024-25 seasons.

#5 New York Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett said that Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton broke the unwritten code by talking to USA Today about Hackett negatively.

On Headline Sports with Michael Roberson:

#1 Michael wanted to review with you some of this week’s big baseball deals on Tuesday the New York Yankees sent Joey Gallo to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Gallo had not been productive and the Yankees got the itch to send Gallo packing. Gallo was hitting .159 with 25 home runs, 46 RBIs, Gallo did strike out plenty 194 times in 421 at bats.

#2 Gallo was getting booed by the Yankee fans and his ability to move runners over and score had fans riding him at every at bat. Towards the end Gallo was benched. Manager Aaron Boone said he respected Gallo for the way he worked and carried himself and that Boone will be rooting for Gallo from afar.

#3 Speaking of the Yankees Boone said he was excited about obtaining pitchers Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino. It won’t be long that Yankee fans will get a look at Montas who threw for 104 2/3 innings, 109 strikeouts, with 28 walks, and gave up 12 home runs for 3.18 ERA for the A’s.

#4 Turning to football Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has been suspended by the NFL for tampering after trying to contact quarterback Tom Brady and head coach Sean Payton in an attempt to inquire about Brady and Payton’s services. Ross had been suspended through Oct 17th and after an investigation the Dolphins were trying to tank games in 2019 proved to be inconclusive after former head coach Brian Flores refused to throw games so the Dolphins would get a better draft position. Flores later ended up filing a discrimination suit against the Dolphins. Flores was told Ross was mad that he didn’t compromise football games.

#5 Michael talk about the Denver Broncos losing wide receiver Tim Patrick due to a torn ACL in his right right knee putting him out for the season. Patrick in practice on Tuesday caught a pass in front of Essang Bassey and while running up field his knee give out and he fell to the ground with the torn ACL injury.
