NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Music City Baseball is teaming with a property company in hopes of buying land that could one day serve as the home of a Major League Baseball team.
The deal between Music City Baseball and Lincoln Property Company announced Tuesday is designed to secure land for a mixed-use development that could include an MLB-ready stadium.
Music City Baseball is an organization of business and community leaders in Nashville that is seeking to bring the majors to Tennessee. The group has already picked a nickname 'Stars,' a nod to a Negro League Team that played in Nashville in the 1940s and 50s.
The group could have some time to find a location.

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred has said MLB won't explore expansion until securing new ballparks for the Athletics and Tampa Bay Rays.
The A's plan to move to a new park in Las Vegas in 2028, but construction has not started, and they will send at least three seasons playing home games at a minor league stadium in Sacremento. Tampa Bay withdrew this month from a planned $1.3 billion stadium plan in St. Petersburg, citing a hurricane and delays that likely drove up the proposal's cost, and will play home games this season at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, the New York ankees' spring training home.

Yohel Pozo has RBI single in the 11th to give the Cardinals a 6-5 victory over the Reds
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Yohel Pozo had a two-out RBI single in the 11th inning to give the St. Louis Cardinals a 6-5 comeback victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Saturday. The Cardinals overcame a 5-2 deficit, tying it in the ninth on Nolan Arenado's leadoff homer off Emilio Pagán. Alec Burleson had a two-run homer and an RBI single for St. Louis. Phil Maton (1-2), the Cardinals' sixth pitcher, threw one inning for the victory. Rookie Chase Petty (0-3), the eighth Reds pitcher, gave up the deciding hit to Pozo. Reds star Elly De La Cruz, who overcame getting sick on the field in the fourth inning, hit a changeup 435 feet to center in the seventh for his team-leading 17th homer and a 5-2 lead. With two outs in the fourth, the game was halted after De La Cruz — who also had a triple — vomited. After the trainer came out, De La Cruz remained in the game. Two ground crew members cleaned up the spot at shortstop. Matt McClain had three hits for the Reds. Key moment In the second inning, De La Cruz tripled when the ball eluded center fielder Victor Scott II. The relay throw bounced by Arenado. Pitcher Sonny Gray was backing up the play and De La Cruz took off for home. A fastball from Gray easily nabbed the sliding De La Cruz. Key stat The Cardinals are 6-2 in extra innings. The Reds are 1-6. Up next Cardinals RHP Miles Mikolas (4-4, 4.35) was set to face LHP Andrew Abbott (6-1, 1.84) on Sunday in the series finale. ___ AP MLB:

Jeff Teague Advises Angel Reese After Sky's 8th Loss of Season
Jeff Teague Advises Angel Reese After Sky's 8th Loss of Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Chicago Sky lost their eighth game of the season 79-72 to the Washington Mystics on Wednesday at home inside the Wintrust Arena. Advertisement Even though her team came up short, forward Angel Reese put up a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, which gained her some praise from a few podcasters. 'The Sky [are] getting better,' 'Club 520 Podcast' host DJ Wells said to co-hosts B Hen and former player Jeff Teague. 'They only have three wins so far, but they are getting a lot more production than they had been.' He continued, 'Shoutout, Angel Reese. She's been consecutively putting it together, and she's starting to figure it out.' However, the Sky struggled to manage their turnovers and lost as a result. Chicago ended the game with 22 turnovers compared to the Mystics' 16. Seven of those turnovers came from Reese, which Teague brought up. Advertisement 'She got to bring some of those turnovers down,' he said. 'I was watching some of her games, and if she brought the turnovers down, she'd be alright.' Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5) drives to the basket against Washington Mystics forward Kiki Iriafen (44).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Before Tuesday's defeat, Reese had been managing the number of turnovers she would end the game with. She only had two turnovers during the Sky's 78-66 win over the Connecticut Sun on Sunday. Furthermore, by the end of an 88-70 loss to the Atlanta Dream on June 13, Reese only had three turnovers, showing her desire to work on the issue. However, she will need to continue doing so heading into Chicago's next home game inside Wintrust Arena against the Phoenix Mercury on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. ET on ABC.
