The Oakland A’s were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team. Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one. History will sneer.

Looking back, it truly was extremely poor taste by the A’s organization to use the killing of Vegas police as an excuse to not release stadium renderings when it’s now clear that was a lie. Like, an absolutely horrible way of doing business in front of your new “fanbase.”

The A’s didn’t have a binding agreement in place for Vegas by the 1/15 deadline, but still got full revenue sharing from MLB. You knew the owners would bend rules for Shady John Fisher, but the union should know better than to assume he can get things accomplished.

Clark County Commissioner William McCurdy II receives $10,000 political contribution from Athletics. The $380 million Athletics stadium subsidy includes $120 million in bonds from Clark County.

With Snyder gone, there is another horrible owner to protest: John Fisher! Despite inheriting billions the @Athletics have the lowest payroll in base ball and now Fisher wants to move the team from Oakland. Go see the @Nationals & @Athletics play and chant #SellTheTeam in the 5th

While the Oakland Athletics took SS Jacob Wilson of Grand Canyon University with the 6th pick, fans chant at Commissioner Rob Manfred,

🚨Dear @Phillies, @Royals & @Brewers fans:
Your owners were selected to "evaluate" the relocation of the @Athletics from Oakland to Las Vegas. A's owner John Fisher has RUINED this franchise & should be forced to SELL. Stand w/ A's fans & tell them to NOT support it! #FisherOut

Wait, the idea is locals would park at MGM, NYNY or the Excalibur? That’s the parking plan? Oh yeah, the A’s definitely aren’t even trying here. This would be a traffic nightmare. This is insulting. #NVLeg
Steve Hill on A’s stadium parking: There are 20,000 parking spots in the parking structures on the properties on the 4 corners of the Strip and Tropicana. Hill said those will all be available, to allow for a dispersed traffic plan. #vegas #athletics #mlb #nvleg

Update on Sean Murphy: it still appears Oakland is close to a trade, but the Braves are NOT going to be the acquiring team, per source. The Cardinals, Rays, Guardians and Red Sox are among the teams that have been connected to Murphy in recent weeks.

The A's return for Frankie Montas is left-handers Ken Waldichuk and J.P. Sears, right-hander Luis Medina and second baseman Cooper Bowman, sources tell ESPN. @JackCurryYES was on both ends of the deal.
Waldichuk is the headliner, and he's a very good one. Has 116 Ks in 76.1 IP.

Tales:Some club people say Reds now willing to talk Luis Castillo and Tyler Mahle, Dodgers will move David Price to give him starting opportunity and two GMs today said A’s won’t trade Frankie Montas for at least two months. The Montas chase will be the running of the bulls.
