- OAKLAND MAKES A PLAY TO KEEP THE A’S
- We were telling you earlier this week that Major League Baseball told the A’s that they would waive the franchise relocation fee if they decided to move the team to Las Vegas. A savings of hundreds of millions of dollars, surely.
Well, Oakland isn’t going down without a fight. The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission just gave the thumbs up to a plan that would convert a 50-plus acre terminal at the Port Of Oakland into, among other things, land for a brand new state of the art baseball field. If you didn’t know, the Oakland Athletics currently play in a stadium that’d be better suited for Republic Services. The Triple-A Las Vegas Aviators have been outdrawing their big league brother in attendance for a bit now.
