Happy hump day, AN.
Got some fresh news links up—get ‘em while they’re hot! In addition to lots of rear-view-perspective trade chatter, Sarah Ravani at the San Francisco Chronicle reported on a new lawsuit filed against the BCDC that alleges the commission approved Howard Terminal’s removal from port activity designation without duly weighing environmental impacts. Smells fishy to me! Hitting a bit closer to my hometown, Dodgers broadcasting legend Vin Scully passed away at age 94 yesterday.

A little caffeine break never hurt anyone!
Laureano said he was "not really" following trade news Monday, an A's off-day: "I had a pretty chill day, to be honest. I went to the beach. I ate good food. Took a nap. Watched 'Blacklist.' I was pretty off."
