Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:47:48 GMT

With the Athletics’ proposed move to Las Vegas looming ever closer, the finger-pointing and animosity is only intensifying between Oakland officials and Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred.In a story published Friday by the San Francisco Chronicle, Manfred said the account of events being put forth by Oakland mayor Sheng Thao is “all about covering your ass at this point.”Thao’s chief of staff, Leigh Hanson, replied: “We will leave it to the fans to decide who’s telling the truth, Mayor Thao or Manfred. At this point, their reputations speak for themselves.”The back and forth came in a series of interviews conducted by John Shea, the Chronicle’s national baseball writer.“I know everyone wants to pile on the A’s and pile on MLB,” Manfred told Shea. “But I do think, in fairness, people have to look at what Mayor Thao has done and not done.

CINCINNATI (AP) — A surprise in 2023 following a 100-loss season, the Cincinnati Reds and their beleaguered bullpen were dealt a staggering blow by the Pittsburgh Pirates.The Pirates overcame a nine-run deficit for the first time since the franchise started play in 1882 and Alfonso Rivas tied a career-high with five RBIs in a 13-12 victory on Saturday night.“There’s really not a whole lot to say,” Reds manager David Bell said. “Our players have given absolutely every ounce of energy from day one of spring training. That continued tonight, it is going to continue to the last pitch of the season.”Cincinnati, which dropped 2 1/2 games back for the NL’s last wild-card berth, opened a 9-0 lead with three runs in the first, five in the second and one in the third, then allowed 13 unanswered runs. The Reds attempted to rally but stranded the potential tying run at third base in the ninth.“This time of the year, everybody is battling some stuff, but it’s meaningful basebal...

NOUR SHAMS REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank (AP) — Israeli airstrikes struck militant sites in Gaza on Sunday for the third straight day, the Israeli military said, after Palestinian militants near the border fence launched incendiary balloons into Israel and threw an explosive at soldiers. The strike came on the heels of an Israeli military raid in the northern West Bank that Palestinian health officials said killed two Palestinians. It was the latest bloodshed in a surge of violence during a sensitive Jewish holiday period. A series of violent escalations on the border between Israel and Gaza over the past week has raised the specter of an escalation for the first time since a brief round of conflict last May between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group.
