McCall Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago 1 hour ago, BBTV said: Totally get your point, and just being pedantic here, but to my knowledge, no public employees have been laid off so that the city can make welfare payments to the A's. But... maybe they should be more like the Coyotes, and get taken over by the league. IIRC the last time that happened was Montreal (my memory is hazy so this could be inaccurate, but didn't the league "buy" them and then work out the sale/move to DC?). I know the scumbag Fisher would only go kicking and screaming, but maybe the league could strong arm him and take control of the team. The league has no valid reason to try and force a takeover of the A's. When they took over the Expos, it was only because they were left without an owner after the the Loria to Marlins-Henry to Red Sox ownership swap around. The league fully supports his move to Vegas and, quite honestly, seem to be happy about finally getting out of the Oakland situation. 1 Quote https://dribbble.com/MakaioCall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago The only way Fisher is forced to sell the A's is if it's revealed that he's a racist and/or a misogynist or runs organizations that have both, but even then Rob Manfred may not want him to sell the A's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisher is a recluse, it's Dave Kaval who is the public face of the A's top brass. In the event of a scandal, Kaval would probably be the one to take the fall.

Also Rob Manfred will make sure Fisher stays as owner of the A's, even if those scandals happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
