There are serious doubts that the A's move to Las Vegas will come to fruition. The way it looks now, the A's could very well make Sacramento their permanent home. And then Las Vegas gets an expansion team instead.

  2. This raises the question: can there be a roadblock where there is no road? 🤔

  3. Complete horseshit if Oakland loses a team because the MLB allowed this dog and pony show to go on forever

  4. Fisher is an absolute incompetent idiot. It’s fascinating watching how he conducts business, he has no idea what he’s doing

  5. They’re going to be stuck in a minor league park in Sacramento indefinitely at this rate. Serves them (and MLB) right. Salt Lake City might be the only remaining option since they seem willing to pay for everything.

  6. It won’t matter because MLB is complicit. They will do whatever it takes to get out of Oakland.

  7. Las Vegas is going to be what LA was for the NFL: the threat to all other cities to tax themselves to oblivion or lose their team.

  8. John Fisher definitively hit a roadblock in Oakland securing a new stadium. “May have” only translates to speculation.

  12. The upsetting part of this is that their 24 revenue sharing was based originally on having a binding agreement for the construction of a new stadium. The players union has been silent on this point and Steve Hill said the framework was in place for this to satisfy the revenue sharing agreement. It’s all utter horseshit.

  14. Should just make the A’s a permanent road team. Probably better than playing half your games in a triple a stadium brought to you by the lowest bidder

  15. He just needs to find investors and not be greedy a about the team valuation in selling portion of the team. Im okay if roadblocks block vegas but I’m also not convinced Sacramento is the answer either
