clear lake at or above 100 saturday. many locations will be in the upper 90s. sunday it may turnout to be hotter than saturday. 102, 103 at some of the inland spot. more upper 90s inland on sunday in place that don't triple digit out. on monday we get a sharp drop in temperatures, about a ten degree drop in most locations, so cooling is on the way. monday further cooling on tuesday and the remarnd of the week after tuesday will be in a more typical pattern for this time of the year. much more comfortable, of course. the heat back over the weekend, pretty intense. >> good ne >> goodness, thank you, spencer. >> think cool thoughts, like football. >> wouldn't you love to be in shoulder pads, helmet, whole football gear, all that stuff? >> sure, oh, yeah. >> like 95 degrees. >> sure, love it. >> awesome. it's upon us. one of the concern wn the ninersraedosa s the ponlt possibility of a hold out that is no longer a worry. training

>> announcer: now abc7 sports with larry beil. >> good evening. nfl training camps are underway. tomorrow the 49ers and raiders both report to their respective camps. no hold outs in santa clara with the final two rookies signing last-minute deals. that includes the second overall pick, nick bosa. bosa signing a four-year deal worth about $33 million. included in that is a $22 million signing bonus. the star defensive end at ohio state, he hardly played at all

last season because of an abdominal injury. he suffered a hamstring strain on the second day of o.t.a.s with the niners. in 29 career games with the buckeyes, bosa had 17 1/2 sacks. the 49ers want to see that quarterback pressured. just minutes later after the bosa announcement, the niners also announced they signed their second round draft pick, wide receiver d. bo samuel, worth $7.7 million. he was the 36th overall pick, came out of south carolina. 30 games, 48 catches over 2000 yards, 16 touchdown. also was a kick returner. he has got explosive speed and terrific hands. he's going to be really fun to watch this season, especially yards after the catch. now, the number one overall draft pick, kyler murray reported to his first nfl training camp with the cardinals. says murry is the future of the franchise. no pressure there at all. kings bury is in his first

season as an nfl coach hoping to take his air raid offense from college, the pros and murry loves it. >> people don't understand how it works. don't think it will work, too scared to change it up. when you have an innovative coach, a coach with a lot of creativity that's going to actually go out there and put on the field instead of just talking about it, you know, it's obviously worked. he's learned from guys that he's been coached from and i just think it's, you know, it's a very dangerous offense once everything is clicking. >> we'll see. the a's open a nine-game stance in a four-game series against texas. a's looking to hold onto the second place wild card spot. the a's 39 and 20 since may 16th. that's the second best record in baseball during that span. with the trade deadline rapidly approaching next week, they know they have an opportunity to get even better. but even if they don't make a deal, the a's have some reinforcements on the way. >> we have some guys that are down. we think we can help us and, you

know, who knows what the trade deadline will bring and so, yeah, i think any time you have some injured guys, they're a big part -- sean was part of the leader of the rotation last year, that you can get incrementally better from within and not necessarily just have to be a trade as well. >> talking about sean la nigh there. for months it seemed like a foregone conclusion that the giants were going to trade madison bumgarner. now not so fast. the giants have surged up the standings. they're in contention for a wild card playoff spot. if trading your ace makes no sense. mad bum has a 2.0 e.r.a. with 41 strike-outs and 36 innings. sources all throughout major league baseball believe the giants are going to hold onto bumgarner when the deadline comes next wednesday. might even become buyers if the right deal or deals should come along. on to golf, the first round of the fed e saint jude invitation in memphis, rory
