BASEBALL DAILY REPORT : AROUND THE MAJOR LEAGUES : A’s Trade Two for Indians’ Jacoby

The Oakland Athletics put third baseman Carney Lansford on the disabled list and acquired third baseman Brook Jacoby from the Cleveland Indians for two minor leaguers.

Lansford made his season debut July 19, but returned to the disabled list after only five appearances because of pain in his left knee. Jacoby, 31, is hitting .234 with four home runs and 24 runs batted in.

The Indians acquired outfielder Lee Tinsley, 22, and pitcher Apolinar Garcia, 23, for Jacoby. Both were sent to Canton-Akron of the Eastern League.

There won’t be a ruling on the Rob Dibble case until next week because Bill White, National League president, hasn’t had time to review a videotape of the incident, league spokeswoman Katy Feeney said.

Dibble, suspended twice this season, is facing another possible suspension for throwing a ball at the Chicago Cubs’ Doug Dascenzo on Tuesday night. Umpire Joe West said the Cincinnati Red reliever intentionally threw the ball at Dascenzo’s legs after he laid down a successful squeeze bunt. Dibble claimed the ball slipped out of his hand.

Carl Barger, under pressure to end his unprecedented role as the president of two major league teams, will resign from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Aug. 2 to concentrate on running the expansion Florida Marlins.

Barger, who helped saved the Pirates’ franchise from leaving Pittsburgh in 1985, hoped to remain with the team until the end of the season. But after Barger announced July 8 that he would become the Marlins’ president, other baseball executives questioned the potential conflict of interest.

The Baltimore Orioles activated right-hander Dave Johnson, the team’s winningest pitcher last season, and optioned utility infielder Shane Turner to triple-A Rochester.

Detroit officials reached a deal that clears the way to replace Tiger Stadium and keep the Tigers within the limits of Detroit. Mayor Coleman Young and Wayne County Executive Ed McNamara announced a deal to share control of two authorities that would own the stadium and manage a proposed enterprise zone around it.
