A’s Relocation podcast with Daniel:

#1 Last Thursday Los Angeles Dodgers free agent pitcher Walker Buehler express no interest at all in pitching for the Sacramento A’s as acknowledged by A’s manager Mark Kotsay. Although Buehler didn’t say it that he would not want to sign up to play in a minor league park for multiple years.

#2 This considering Buehler had a rough 2024 season with 5.38 ERA with a 2.29 strike out to walk ratio. In spite of the opportunity from the A’s it was “thanks but no thanks” from the veteran pitcher.

#3 Just talking about other free agents how many will stay away from signing with the A’s and for the future of the A’s how many players will stay away because of low salaries and the A’s reputation for not being competitive.

#4 This whole idea of playing in a small minor league park, in a small market TV 20th in the country and it gets even worse when they move to Vegas they will be in the 40th size TV market the smallest in baseball do you agree that will keep players away?

#5 In spite of improvements to Sutter Health Ballpark with a two story clubhouse, putting bleachers in the right field grass area, new weight rooms, and modern facilities. It’s the whole concept of playing in a minor league facility there will still be a space problem no matter how hard the A’s and Sacramento River Cats try to improve it for MLB.

On the MLB The Show podcast with Augie:

#1 He grabbed his left side and he knew he had to leave the game the New York Yankees pitcher Luis Severino against the Milwaukee Brewers due to a left upper body oblique strain. Severino was coming off the mound and held his left side saying he felt a sharp pain like he was just shot. Severino most likely might have thrown his last pitch for the Yankees.

#2 The Atlanta Braves will be retiring Andruw Jones No.25 and are making the case for Jones’ bid to make the Hall of Fame. Jones had a .254 career batting average and had 434 career home runs. His best season was in 2005 when he finished the year with 51 home runs.

#3 The Cincinnati Reds third baseman Noelvi Marte was struck in the face before Saturday’s game by a warm up throw from Elly De La Cruz. Marte was distracted when starting pitcher Carson Spiers and catcher Tyler Stephenson were walking off the field and De La Cruz didn’t realize that Marte was distracted and the ball he threw hit Marte in the face giving him a cut. Marte was replaced at third base for Spencer Steer.

One of the fans at the stadium took a cell phone video of the physical altercation and Urias was arrested. This is Urias’ second domestic violence charge the first one was on 2019.
