I love Sacramento but bringing the Oakland Athletics here seems wrong and beneath us | Opinion

Quick Glance: Bringing Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is Wrong | Opinion

Sports radio personality David Weiglein, known as 'Carmichael Dave', opposes the temporary relocation of the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento by Kings owner Vivek Ranadive.

Weiglein argues that bringing the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is wrong due to owner John Fisher being considered one of the worst in sports and advocates for the A's to remain in Oakland.

He cautions that Sacramento would receive a bad reputation as game attendance might dwindle after the initial novelty wears off, leaving loyal fans feeling duped.

Weiglein draws a parallel to the heroic story of saving the Sacramento Kings from moving to Seattle, emphasizing his refusal to engage with an owner like Fisher.

Oakland A’s to play in Sacramento’s Sutter Health Park beginning in 2025 ahead of move to Las Vegas

Quick Glance: Oakland A's to Play at Sacramento's Sutter Health Park before Las Vegas Move

The Oakland Athletics will play their final season in Oakland in 2024, marking their 57th season there. They will move to the Sutter Health Park in Sacramento for 2025-27, with the option to extend for another year. The park will serve as a major league venue for at least three seasons.

The Sacramento Kings own the River Cats. The A's look to relocate to Las Vegas by the 2028 season. Oakland is now focusing on developing the Coliseum site. The city offered the A's a fair deal for 2025-27, which was seen as fiscally responsible.

Oakland extended gratitude to West Sacramento, Sutter Health Park, and the Sacramento region for hosting the A's temporarily. Sutter Health Park will host the A's for the 2025-27 seasons before their move to Vegas in 2028. The park will be modified to meet MLB standards, ensuring a top-notch baseball experience. Sacramento is excited to welcome the A's as their temporary home.

Houston Astros right-hander Ronel Blanco threw the first no-hitter of the MLB season, defeating the Toronto Blue Jays while allowing only two walks.

Blanco delivered an impressive performance in just his eighth MLB start, allowing only two walks until two outs in the ninth inning before sealing the game.

The 30-year-old Blanco heavily relied on his changeup, which played a crucial role in his success, and he was supported by solid defense and strong team assistance from the Astros.

This no-hitter marks the 17th in Astros history and the 323rd overall in MLB history, highlighting Blanco's achievement alongside other Astros pitchers who have also delivered no-hitters in recent years.

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond

Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.

Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.

United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.

On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.

Oakland International Airport is considering adding 'San Francisco' to its name to attract more passengers, but faces opposition from neighbors across the Bay.

The Board of Commissioners for the Port of Oakland will discuss the matter at their upcoming meeting on Thursday.

Officially known as Metropolitan Oakland International Airport, the airport lost 39 of 54 new routes added from July 2008 to March 2024, raising concerns about geographical confusion among travelers.

The potential name-change has alarmed San Francisco officials, who fear it would cause confusion among travelers and infringe on the city's trademark rights.

Las Vegas' famed Tropicana resort will close this week to make way for a new ballpark

Quick Glance: Tropicana's Closure for New Baseball Stadium

The 67-year-old Tropicana will close on Tuesday to make way for a new baseball stadium designated for the Major League Baseball team the A's.

Originally considered luxurious, the Tropicana lost its appeal over the years and was finally sold to Bally's for $308 million to make room for the future baseball stadium.

Demolition is scheduled for October after MLB owners approved the A's move to Las Vegas in November of last year. The team is expected to arrive in Las Vegas in 2028.

The design for the new $1.5 billion baseball stadium on the Tropicana site was recently unveiled, showcasing a futuristic look with huge white sails inspired by traditional baseball pennants.
