something, that something sweeps of homeless camps. >> and there's something new about this approach to an old issue. good evening. i'm amanda, and i'm dan ashley. >> the timing of these sweeps in san francisco is what's so striking here. they're starting just five days after governor newsom ordered california cities to address encampments. and only weeks after a critical supreme court decision which made it easier for cities to ban homeless camps, homelessness is an issue all around the bay area, but it seems to get extra attention in san francisco. >> our media partner, the san francisco standard, got this video today. it's a multi-agency sweep that took place under the central freeway. take a look at this here and our own. abc seven news reporter luz pena also witnessed some of the encampment cleanups today, and she is here in the studio with more on the city's effort to help build lose a better bay area. >> that's right. san francisco has been doing encampment resolutions or sweeps. but this week the mayor said they're going to be even more

aggressive. and today we saw the first signs of that homeless encampment sweeps are intensifying in san francisco. on 18th and folsom, we witnessed the city's second and last encampment sweep for the day. sfpd officers, along with public works employees and the department of emergency management, spread out throughout the area as the signs on the light poles gave many here a heads up. what are they asking you to do to clean up spot? one of those asked to move was ramon castillo. he showed us inside his tent this is your home. ramon said he knew city workers were coming, but his plan is to stay on the streets. >> for me, it's better staying outside. i don't i don't like to be in a hotel right now. >> do they offer you a hotel? yeah. >> and then i've been there before. but for me, individual thing is better stay outside. >> so you're just going to move your tent somewhere else, yeah.

earlier in the day, our news partner, the san francisco standard, captured another encampment resolution or sweep at a masnick. owner of the deli board has been vocal about the need for sweeps. >> i think it's a it's a necessary move. i think public camping is completely out of control. >> but said he didn't like the city's approach. during the first one, he saw the way that the removal uh- appeared also appeared to be quite inhumane, as the city gears up to continue sweeps following a us supreme court ruling, many gathered outside of hotel whitcomb asking for the city to offer more shelter. this hotel was leased by san francisco during the pandemic for shelter. now it sits empty. >> what we could be doing, we could be leasing out or acquiring these kind of buildings to house people. and so, you know, there are currently hundreds, almost 800 empty, permanent supportive

housing units that are fully funded. they're just sitting empty. >> we contacted the city's homelessness and supportive housing department. they said they have over 700 vacancies in their portfolio. the city's public defender's office is concerned the sweeps could lead to more people behind bars or cited if they refuse to move. >> you're citing people, you're arresting people. our jails already at 100% capacity. >> in the meantime, some homeless advocates believe the city needs this approach, this time for us to do something. >> i mean, a lot of our people in the streets don't have the conscious ability to make decisions for themselves. now it's time for us to make those decisions on san francisco's homelessness and supportive housing department said they have over 13,000 units of supportive housing in the city. >> their occupancy rate right now is 93%. luz pena, abc seven news. >> all right, luis, thank you for that. now to changes across the bay. the oakland city council has passed a new ordinance expected to better

protect renters with disabilities. it requires landlords to keep elevators in safe condition and to relocate tenants with disabilities when access to their apartment is affected because an elevator is broken. the new ordinance applies to buildings with three or more residential units. it takes effect on december 15th. >> the state is launching a new effort to speed up affordable housing developments for teachers and school staff. abc seven news reporter lena howland went to the bay area school district that's being used as a model for the rest of california, made up of 122 units, teachers and classified staff are their own neighbors in this daly city housing complex. >> what it's done for our school district is greatly raised morale, first of all, because our staff can afford to live in the bay area, complete with their own gym, laundry on every floor, bike storage space for kids to play, and space for meetings. >> superintendent tony presta says 25% of staff members from the jefferson union high school

district now live here. all of these units go for about half the market rate. this one bedroom, one bath starts at 1450. this comes after the district became the first in the nation to pass a $33 million bond measure supporting housing for faculty and staff back in 2018. >> i just really encourage other school districts to follow our lead. >> on tuesday, california state superintendent of public instruction tony thurmond called on every school district statewide to do just that. the school districts have one of the most important parts of being able to create educator housing. >> they own land. >> thurmond says combined local education agencies already own 75,000 acres of land available for development statewide, he says this has the potential to create an estimated 2.3 million housing units to develop that land. >> school districts can use local bonds and state tax credits that have already been

made available. >> superintendent presta says her district also took out a loan to make this happen. >> the rents that are paid really service the loan. we're not making a profit off of it, she says. >> because of this, they've had zero teacher vacancies on the first day of school for two years straight. >> reach out and ask and just get started. find out if your community would support it, and, you know, don't wait in daly city. >> lena howland, abc seven news. >> all right. and when it comes to building houses, how about tiny houses, adus, accessory dwelling units could become a lot more popular thanks to a new state law. we're going to have details on the bay area cities leading the way on this coming up at 630. so stay with us. >> now to developing news on the largest wildfire burning in the state. the park fire near chico tonight. it remains 14% contained. it has scorched almost 387,000 acres. that's 604mi■!s, most in tehama county. the park fire has burned more

than three times the surface area of lake tahoe. flames destroyed 194 structures, including 116 houses in butte and tehama counties. some evacuation warnings were lifted today in butte county. cal fire officials say crews are having some success and they are pleased with the progress. fighting fires is emotional, dirty, dangerous work and these three are helping to support fire crews. three dogs have reported for duty at the park fire. their main task is to provide mental health support with sloppy kisses and wagging tails. >> i sure can't do that. >> oh yes they can. all right, so let's check on the conditions for firefighters. >> abc seven news weather anchor spencer christian is here. spencer, any good news out there? >> there's some encouraging news. dan and it's good to hear that the firefighters are having some success. let me give you a look at the fire conditions right now near the fire 90 degrees relative humidity is still very, very low at only 23% winds gusting to 20mph. that's not very strong, but it's important to bear in mind that these massive fires generate

their own little microclimates near the base of the fire. so the winds can be not only stronger, but more unpredictable, more erratic as you get closer to the fire. so that's not a very encouraging point, but it's good news from the firefighting front, though. here's a look at the satellite radar composite image showing our general wind pattern from west to east, which is a strong wind flow, especially aloft as it's carrying a lot of the smoke from that park fire away from the area of the fire out, generally across the northern sacramento valley towards susanville and western nevada. and as you look at the surface smoke animation here for the next 12 to 18 hours, you can see that pattern will continue with the smoke blowing away not only from much of northern california, but certainly away from the bay area, where we still have good air quality. i'll give you a look, though, at some concerns about possibility of some dry lightning over the weekend in my accuweather seven day forecast a little bit later ama. all right. >> thank you spencer. we'll check back. strong erratic winds are hindering efforts to get the burrell fire in kern county under control. the fire burning northeast of bakersfield has

charred more than 57,000 acres since it broke out six days ago, essentially wiping out the mining town of havilah. more than 2300 people in the small community of bowdish remain evacuated from their homes nearby. lake isabella is still under an evacuation warning. the fire is just 17% contained, and today governor newsom toured the devastation caused by the burrell fire and signed an emergency proclamation to fast track resources and support this emergency. >> proc will allow more national guardsmen and women to help support your efforts, not just in the immediate, but in the aftermath, in the mopping, as we say things up and getting people back on their feet. >> governor newsom praised the efforts of first responders and vowed the state will continue to work urgently to protect residents and make our communities more resilient, from what he called intensifying climate impacts. you can track wildfires across the state as well as air quality with our interactive wildfire tracker. easy to find? bookmark it now.

a police say paramedics took the victim to the hospital and the injuries are not life threatening. now to new developments on a story we've started covering six months ago. the former executive director of a nonprofit that partnered with the san francisco police department has been arrested. now, we're not naming her because she has yet to be arraigned, according to the da's office, she's accused of misusing public funds and not paying employees. abc seven news reporter suzanne fawn talked with one local business hit hard by these claims. >> we haven't been paid yet. the owners of diosa blooms in the mission district say they've been set back nearly 17 grand because of the former executive director of sf safe. it put us

in a bit of a financial struggle because we are a small family business. so every dollar does count. >> the former s.f. safe director is accused of illegally misusing $700,000 during her tenure with sf safe, according to the sf district attorney's office. the director, quote, unlawfully and fraudulently used more than $100,000 of sf safe funds for her own use, according to an affidavit. the director of the long standing nonprofit that partnered with the san francisco police department also spent s.f. safe money on lavish parties and events like this candy explosion halloween event last year, where she spent nearly $100,000. the owners of diosa blooms say the sf safe director often ordered flowers for special events. the business says they're owed $17,000 for two large events. >> the first event was their holiday party, and then the second event was for black history month 17. k might sound crazy for flowers, but you know, when you ask for like, top shelf

premium flowers, like it's going to add up, especially for a big event like that. she never really had a budget. she just said, i want this flowers. i want this many. and yeah, and we did find it a little weird because she was, head of a nonprofit. so we were like, where is this budget coming from? >> several employees of sf safe have filed complaints saying they have not been paid. we reached out to the police department. they released this statement saying, quote, the sfpd thanks. the district attorney's office for its thorough investigation and diligent work on this case. back to diosa blooms. they hope they'll get answers and be paid soon. >> it sucks to be like part of that situation, so if anything, like we just want things to be right for our end and the other businesses that were affected in san francisco, suzanne phan abc seven news. >> we're following the story of a break-in at an oakland office building, which resulted in thieves ransacking 16

businesses. >> today, oakland's mayor is weighing in on the crime, which happened over the weekend on collins drive, which is near hegenberger road. this is the area that has seen multiple businesses close over the past year because of crime, including denny's and in and out. >> the hegenberger corridor is an entryway to the city of oakland, and it is one of my priority corridors and so this is, you know, this hearing about this burglary right after we were just there. it's heartbreaking. and we're going to do more. >> the mayor says they're working with the chp on the case. oakland police say at least three people were involved. no arrests have been made. a massive win. that's how oakland's mayor describes the scale of the city's 50% stake in the coliseum complex. the mayor staged a ceremonial signing at city hall today. shengtao says the deal with the african american sports and entertainment group will lead to a multi-billion dollar investment in east oakland. it also helps the city close a massive budget deficit. the group is also working with the oakland a's to buy out their 50%

stake of the site. >> all right, back to the weather. cooler conditions around here. and of course, we're watching what's happening on the fire lines. >> yes, spencer christian is here with the latest conditions. spencer. okay. >> almaden. and sadly for us, our cooling trend is about to wind down and a warming trend is going to begin. but right now we do have the cooling. and here's a look at the satellite radar composite image showing why we've got the brisk wind flow from west to east across all of northern california. and of course, that's been helping keep our air quality here in the bay area on the good side, right now, we're looking at brisk winds gusting to 31mph at sfo. but all across the region we have a rather impressive wind flow and the temperatures are just gradually on the rise. now. the 24 hour temperature change shows most locations about two three, four degrees milder than at this time yesterday. you can see the marine layer forming now in this view from mount tam. looking down onto the bay 62 degrees in san francisco right now, 68 at both oakland and hayward, 75, san jose 74 at redwood city, 61 at half moon bay. here's another view from under the marine layer at the

golden gate bridge. other temperature readings right now looking northward. santa rosa 7968. petaluma 77 at napa, fairfield, concord in the low 80s and 76 at livermore and from above the marine layer once more from sutro tower. these are our forecast headlines. week long warming begins tomorrow. inland highs during this period of time will range from 94 roughly to about 98 degrees, possibly higher as we get later into the building heat and the heat will reach its peak. we expect early next week, monday or tuesday. now i want to show you that there is some concern about dry lightning developing in parts of northern california on saturday, mainly because of increasing temperatures. so it's going to be getting hotter and there's a flow of monsoonal moisture coming up from the southwestern us into this region. so if you add the increasing moisture to the afternoons heating the atmosphere can become unstable enough for lightning to develop. so we'll keep an eye on that for you. meanwhile, back to the bay area overnight clouds increasing, lots of drizzle near the coast and bay overnight lows will be in the mid to upper 50s.

highs tomorrow. low 60s at the coast, mid 70s. even a few upper 70s near the bay. shoreline. low to mid 90s inland tomorrow. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. and here we go into the warming trend as august gets underway on thursday. we'll see high temperatures for the next few days in the mid to upper 70s around the bay shoreline, mid to upper 90s inland. and as we get into early next week, you can see monday and tuesday upper 90s. we probably will see some locations topping out around 100 degrees as that heat builds on monday and tuesday, it's going to be up to about 80 degrees around the bay shoreline. so that's a significant warm up and a prolonged one as well. yeah. >> thanks, spencer. >> okay, now to a plea from a popular bay area theater group, cal shakes, established in 1974 as berkeley shakespeare festival, is on the edge of insolvency as it gets ready to stage its fall production, it has to raise $350,000 by thursday to stay afloat. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley visited the open air amphitheater off highway 24 in

orinda, a place many call a hidden gem the hidden gem, or even a best kept secret, which for a time was delightful while it was sustainable. >> but it is not a solid business plan to build a future on cal shakes pays a nominal fee to lease this land from east bay mud each year in this idyllic valley near the caldecott tunnel, where they built this amphitheater in 1989. >> yeah, today, a summer drama camp took center stage here. next month, rehearsals are supposed to start for this year's production of as you like it, slated for performances starting september 14th. but post pandemic, ticket sales have not been able to make up for the lack of fundraising. this is desperate times. >> it is, it is. we expected that some fundraising opportunities were going to manifest, and they did not. >> a gofundme was launched and a famous alumnus of cal shakes made a donation. >> i taught shakespeare to the

fourth and fifth graders in zendaya's mother's classroom at fruitvale elementary school, so i got to know them through that. and then she started taking classes here at cal shakes and was in our summer conservatory program. like these youngsters down here, her and her boyfriend, tom paid me a visit here, a few months back, we had a delightful conversation, and when i told him that we were doing weddings up here, i teased them that i'm ready for them as soon as i have a date. >> that spider-man star tom holland. cal shakes has influenced many lives, including this fight choreographer who works with san francisco opera and act. >> my whole artistic life has been shaped by the work that i've done here at cal shakes, so i'm hoping we can get it together and survive. if cal shakes gets $350,000 to move forward, the goal is to transition this venue into a true multidisciplinary performing arts center in

neighborhoods that are already established, and building a better bay area and making housing less expensive may rely on creating more accessory dwelling units or adus. >> i've been hearing a lot about them lately. abc seven news reporter lyanne melendez is here to tell us which cities are embracing adus. leanne. well,

i'll give you a hint. >> our neighbors to the south are doing much better than we are. now people are calling it the backyard revolution because there has been a surge in the number of adu permits, not only in san jose, but other cities in the bay area, but does it make sense to spend that much money now? most people said yes, because if you can build it, you can now sell it. just last month, san jose reported the median home price was nearly $1.4 million. that's an increase of 10% from the previous year. >> i couldn't afford to live here if i didn't buy my house. you know, 25 years ago. >> preach to the choir, sister, because many young people or families will never be able to live in san jose. that is, unless they consider buying one of these. an accessory dwelling unit, an adu. >> that adu pricing will be much lower than a traditional single family home. >> assembly member phil ting created legislation allowing homeowners to not only build an

adu, but eventually sell it like you would a condo, and san jose is leading that trend. what i see is that you have your house there and it's so private beginning here. this is a different world back here. yeah, the idea was when we developed the adu, we wanted to make sure whoever lived in the back house had the opportunity to have a lot of space. he paid $250,000 prior to the pandemic for now, he rents out the 500 square foot adu, but he is thinking of subdividing the property and selling it adu and all to his in-laws, who otherwise could not afford to move to san jose. >> this now gives them the opportunity to actually own in san jose at a lower price point, and also be closer to us, so it's kind of a win win. >> san jose has allowed the fast tracking of adus since 2019. 1310 adus have been built here, literally from start to finish.

>> it took four months. >> joyce higashi wanted the extra rental income. so how about, you know, plumbing, electricity, all those. so all those things they they take into consideration, they tell you whether or not it can be done. >> they came in and laid the foundation. they did all the trenching for the all the utilities when it came time to deliver the unit, a giant crane lifted the adu over her main house and onto its foundation. >> it took a total of four minutes. the city of berkeley is expected to allow homeowners to sell adus like a condo. council member rashi kesarwani says it may happen this year. >> it would essentially work in the way that a homeowner's association would for a condo. i actually grew up in a condo. and so, you know, my parents paid property taxes. we had our trash bins, everything was as if we owned, you know, just like a single family home. >> this book is for homeowners who want to build an adu cole

peterson is an expert on the process of building adus. >> he's based in portland, where there are more adus per capita than anywhere in the country. >> so that's kind of the biggest misconception is just like how much this costs. and then then but then the important thing to understand is like, well, even if it costs $500,000, what's the return on investment? and so in the bay area, obviously, yeah, things are expensive to build, but you can also get huge amounts of rental income from these things. so it might be a very rational investment. >> san jose has received four times as many applications to build adus as san francisco has so far. san francisco has built 937 adus since 2019. the san francisco planning department acknowledged that adus are easier to build in san jose, with large lots more easily lending themselves to modular structures and pre-approved designs. here's one example of the challenges san francisco faces. notice how higashi and

kiernan's properties have separate entrances to their adu. san francisco homes usually have no access to the rear yard from the street, and there isn't always room to build them. but the city is allowing some homeowners to convert a garage into a small adu accessory dwelling units. >> you're right, are fully independent dwellings. so yeah, they have their own kitchen, their own bathroom. >> ryan o'neil is the founder of the website how to adu. he says california is on the cutting edge of the adu movement, 1 in 5 units last year for new home construction were actually adu permits in the state of california. >> that's really exciting because that's incremental homes. it's a lot of housing that wouldn't exist otherwise. >> so los angeles is now leading the state in the number of adus built. now, i should mention that both homeowners. homeowners, we interviewed in san jose purchased modular adus, which are were less expensive

expensive than if you were to have someone design and build it. so if you design and build it, it's going to cost a little bit more. but i think it starts to solve the housing crisis, which we have. >> oh, everywhere. >> everywhere. >> yeah. it's interesting. 1 in 5 housing starts. yes, that's the new fascinating. that really is significant trend. >> sort of affordable. >> yeah. >> thank you liane. sure >> all right. well the countdown is on as we switch to politics. the presidential election is now just 98 days away following a month of historic political shakeups. presumptive democratic nominee kamala harris is in georgia tonight for her largest rally of the campaign so far. she spoke to a massive crowd in atlanta, part of a rally featuring high profile georgia democrats and even rapper megan thee stallion. harris talked about her experience in san francisco as a district attorney and a prosecutor, and she compared her work prosecuting predators and fraudsters to taking on donald trump. harris also brought up former president trump's reluctance to confirm

participation in the abc news debate. in september. >> i do hope you'll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage because, as the saying goes, if you've got something to say, say it to my face. >> president, former president trump told fox news last night he would probably debate harris before the election, but added that he feels there are a lot of reasons not to. so we shall see. president biden will sit down with vice president harris tomorrow, their first in-person meeting that we know of since biden dropped out of the race. the white house says the two leaders have spoken in the past week. biden told reporters last night that he's talking with harris about her vice president choices. >> meanwhile, the trump campaign is stepping up attacks on harris republican vice presidential candidate j.d. vance is bringing up her bay area background since

the weekend, the former san francisco resident and venture capitalist has called harris a, quote, san francisco liberal kamala harris was the most liberal member of the united states senate. >> she is a san francisco liberal. she is dangerously liberal. and thanks to the people in this room, she is never going to be the president of the united states. >> harris has called the attacks by vance and trump, quote, just plain weird. lawmakers are grilling the new acting leader of the secret service and the fbi about the attempted assassination of former president trump, the acting director of the secret service told lawmakers he's ashamed of the failures that led to the shooting. >> as a career law enforcement officer and a 25 year veteran with the secret service. i cannot defend why that roof was not better secured, acting director ronald roe and the deputy director of the fbi testify testified before a senate panel today, ro told lawmakers trump's security detail knew about a suspicious

person about 25 minutes before the shooting, but didn't know he was armed until the shots were fired. >> he said. if they had known more in the seconds between the local officer confronting the suspect and the suspect firing, they could have acted faster. >> a sweeping safety crackdown on the internet is a step closer to becoming law. tonight, senators passed two federal bills designed to protect children. the measures beef up privacy protections and limit targeted advertisements. the legislation also requires online platforms that are popular with children to default to the safest settings possible. lawmakers call the vote a historic moment. >> we are one step closer to the most important update in decades to federal laws protecting kids on the internet. >> the house has not yet acted on the bill. it would be the first major tech regulation package in years. actually, the measures could also potentially pave the way for other bills that would strengthen online

privacy laws or set parameters for artificial intelligence. >> coming up, the price of perfection, a new study shines a light on the pressures faced by teenagers who feel, who feels it the most, and what goes along with it. >> plus, back to school supplies for free. meet the donors and the recipients of this year's sacred heart pack a back campaign a team can help you plan for your dreams. so your dream car, and vacation home, may be closer than you think. ready to meet the dream team? you can with wells fargo. type 2 diabetes? discover the ozempic® tri-zone. ♪ ♪ i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease.

los angeles. >> rocio and her kids are just one of many families smiling at sacred heart community service in san jose. those two backpacks and the supplies that will be inside them are free. los precios estan muy altos y cuando tienes una familia grande necesitas el apoyo de alguien in spanish. she told me that the prices are very high, and when you have a big family, you need support. like this. for years now, sacred heart community services pack a bag program has been helping families bridge a very expensive gap. >> we live in the bay area. everything's super expensive, just a backpack regular. it's about $50 plus school materials. that's a close like to $150 that you'll be spending, or even more, depending on the grades. >> sacred heart is helping offset that by giving 4000 students of different grade levels. those much needed and expensive backpacks and school supplies. >> so once we go in the front, they get partnered with a pal, which is a people from our community coming to volunteer, they come in with them, they help them with the bag.

>> and crowded.which is one of those volunteer pals. >> and you see their smiles and just them picking out things. you can write a check to anybody, but you don't know where that money goes. you don't know what. like what? that giving them. and then being here, you can you see exactly what you're giving out. so it's very rewarding for me. it makes me like very emotional to be honest. just because just seeing the joy on everyone's face and it's that joy that motivates the team at sacred heart to bring the event back year after year. >> i know that this lifts that stress out of the parents and also gets the kids excited for the school year and get them like motivated to start the school year because they have their backpacks. >> sacred heart has one more day of giveaways planned thursday, but says it's still in need of 500 backpacks, especially solid colors for middle and high schoolers. for more information on how to donate, visit sacred heart xorg in san jose zach fuentes, abc seven news it already feels like fall with this cooler weather. >> will it warm up before kids go back to school?

and areas east of that, which is the direction in which the smoke is flowing right here in the bay area right now, we are looking at a nice wind flow. uh- futurecast shows for winds continuing to flow onshore, building that marine layer overnight, that cooling marine layer. there will be lots of drizzle along the bay shoreline and the coastline, and some of that will dampen the pavement in the morning for morning commuters. but we're not talking about wet and slippery spots, just little damp spots overnight. low temperatures will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s and highs tomorrow. low 60s at the coast to upper 70s around the bay shoreline. low to mid 90s inland. warming trend begins tomorrow. as you can see here on the accuweather seven day forecast for the next seven days. we'll see temperatures gradually climbing upward, especially in our inland areas, which will top out in the upper 90s to near 100 by monday and tuesday. >> so back to the heat. yeah, yeah. >> it's back. >> thanks, spencer. >> all right, let's get to sports director larry beil. talk some baseball. yes, sir. >> if you were looking for the giants to make a big, bold, grandiose statement just before the trade deadline, you would not get that? no, nor from the

sportscast either. but anyway, giants made a few little moves at the deadline. but it's the deal they did not make that has people talking. blake snell remains a

to a big blockbuster. i'm going to use a technical baseball term

now. what the giants did today was yeah, yeah, just before the deadline. they brought home a bay area native. so they did that. and he's also a cal bear. and that makes bob melvin happy. it's bat flipping. that's not the way his eyes usually are. mark canha, who once proclaimed oracle park was my house. and now it actually is his house. the 35 year old spent seven years with the a's. he can play outfield first base in detroit this year, seven homers in 93 games. now, late last night, the giants traded jorge soler to the braves. the giants had signed him to a three year, $42 million deal in the off season. they wanted that power bat but he never really worked out. didn't hit for power or average. the braves are taking soler's entire salary back as part of the deal, so that's basically a salary dump. and that opens up a spot for rookie marco luciano, who's been hitting well in the minors. also today, the giants traded starting pitcher alex cobb to the first place cleveland guardians. the 36 year old cobb has not pitched at all this season because of a hip injury.

he'd been scheduled to make his debut for the giants sometime this week. cobb struggled late last year after coming within one out of a no hitter after tossing a career high 131 pitches. but the biggest deal for the giants was the one they did not make. blake snell remains in san francisco despite all this rampant speculation that he was probably going to be dealt, snell struck out a career high 15. saturday night seems to be rounding into form the ace that the giants were looking for in july. he only allowed two runs in 24 innings, but he still has yet to win a game as the san francisco giant, which takes us out to oracle park. giants have won four in a row playing the a's tonight. abc seven's chris alvarez uh- it looks chilly out there, but i'll just let you go. giants believe they have the best starting rotation in baseball, and i guess that explains why blake snell is still a giant. >> yeah larry, it's what we've been talking about really for the better part of the last week for the giants. do you trade snell and see what you can get. or do you keep him and try and go on a run here. obviously they need some help with the bats as

well. but you mentioned it. they believe they have the best rotation with snell as a giant. he's going to be here and the giants are going to let it go, he's a giant and he's here to stay. farhan zaidi told me there was no franchise altering moves that wanted him or encouraged him to deal. >> snell trading him would have changed the course of this season where we still believe in what we can accomplish. so if someone really came to us with something we thought could really change our future, it was really going to have to be something that we thought would do just that. just like really changed the course of future years for this organization. >> the overall look is that we've kept our rotation pretty much intact, which tells our team, you know, we're we're in this to, you know, to win right now. >> so the giants are four games back entering the night of the final wild card spot. there's 54 games to go. and both melvin and farhan said they're going to need to go on a run. they haven't been able to do that. they're always kind of hovering around 500, like win ten of 12 or something along that to

really push you ahead. that remains to be seen. larry. and i'll be seeing you at cobb's comedy club tonight. that baseball now give me you know, i like that. i think it's funny. i think you could perform there. yeah, i appreciate that. >> you know, jon stewart does it better than me, but you know, i mean, the difference in salary is also quite big. anyway enjoy the game tonight chris. as for the a's, they did make two trades on their way out of town. they sent starting pitcher in antioch native paul blackburn to the mets. he was an all star back in 2022. did not allow a run in his first 22 and a third innings this season. that was an oakland record, but he missed six games with a foot injury, and the reliever they traded was not the fireballer all star mason miller, who was injured but set up man in san jose native lucas erceg, who goes to kc. all these deals essentially are for prospects that the giants and a's are getting back. sports on abc seven, sponsored by smart and final. i'm not sure if the giants have like this irrational confidence because they have yet to win five games in a row the entire season, but they don't want to sell off their best players. thinking

that, look, we built this team to be a second half team. so this is what we're going to do right here. all in all, in all in the guys that we have and maybe we go bust. but we'll see what happens. make it a decision. the end of september. yeah. they decided to largely stand pat. all right. we'll see if it works. we'll see. what do we think of sports man? >> thanks. better than most days. right well, tonight on abc, a celebrity family feud. i'm sorry. fall at nine by judge steve harvey at ten. what would you do then? stay with us for abc seven news at 11. remember, abc seven news is streaming at the abc seven bay area app, so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. i feel like i'm going to get fired back at here. thank you for joining us. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for larry beil. a stung larry beil and spencer christian. the only mistake you made is don't do that on camera so we can see the. >> yeah. that's true. yeah, true.
