  1. I don’t think they’re required to use the funds if hey don’t move.
  2. Honestly a new owner who steps in is the only scenario where the A’s stay in Oakland at this point. But unlike when the Giants had one foot out the door 30 years ago to Florida, the A’s aren’t for sale. And after 20 years of ownership and having no new stadium in Oakland Manfred seems more than happy to help out his buddy Fisher.
  3. They’ll probably be selling a shortstop in short order.
  4. If he had shame he wouldn’t drag his franchise through something so utterly and unprecedentedly embarrassing. I’m honestly shocked MLB would allow it when they don’t even consider the Coliseum a Major League facility and there are Major League equivalent facilities available as temporary options that they’re going to have to use in 2025-7 anyway. The whole thing is already a black eye for baseball, and it’s just going to get worse if they hang around unwanted.
  5. Have you seen their attendance this year? And that is pre announcement of the move. Post announcement we may get a new all time record for lowest average attendance.
  6. Well we knew Fisher had no shame. This is just more proof of it. https://twitter.com/NBCSAthletics/status/1669880366797307905?s=20 A’s likely to play 2024 in Oakland.
  7. They must have offline assurances that an offer is pending, probably from the Pac 12 given the request for an extension.
  8. I mean he’s completely wrong on the ballpark part, but he’s dead on with the reverse boycott. Getting a literal average sized MLB crowd after 2 months of campaigning felt a bit underwhelming. I was hoping they’d near sellout but alas… It was too little too late anyway.
  9. You think they’ll actually play another lame duck season in 2024 after the embarrassing :censored: show 2023 has been?
  10. Oh I agree, this Vegas venture is going to flop harder than LeBron James if Fisher doesn’t ultimately sell. The Earthquakes are what results when Fisher does get his stadium, you still have a poorly run team, just in a new venue. And given the effort that will be needed to make the A’s successful in Vegas…
  11. I believe Oakland has the dubious distinctions of both being the first city to lose all of its teams it once had in all 4 of the Big 4 leagues (Seals, Warriors, Raiders and now A’s) and the first city to lose 3 teams in under 5 years.
  12. Oh I don’t think that’s the likely outcome either. If I were in Vegas and in a position to put money on it I’d say they’re heading to Vegas Ballpark for a few seasons.
  13. Agreed. If the move is approved by the owners and it become publicly known, you’ll be able to walk the Coliseum and shake ever fan in attendance’s hand by the end of the second inning. It’ll be bad enough finishing out this year, they won’t play out the current lease. Sand given the feeling in the city, I wouldn’t count on a lease extension to cover the rest of the years to 2028. No they’ll either tough out a couple of years at Vegas Ballpark in Summerlin, or find some other temp venue that’s slightly more temperate, like Sacramento. I would imagine October 1 will be the Oakland Athletics final curtain call.
