BREAKING: The Oakland A's will start exploring relocation possibilities after Major League Baseball suggested the organization consider moving to other cities if the Howard Terminal stadium proposal is not approved by local politicians.



AKA MLB/A's are blackmailing city into getting a new stadium

I hope that Oakland tells them to frick off, and they end up moving to Nashville.

In a perfect world, all the cities would have a similar stance to the stadium building issue and the owners would actually have to pay from their own pocket to build these things.

But alas

No, they are telling Oakland to shite or get off the pot.

Others standing outside the port-a-potty.

I think they keep them out west, Vegas seems likely with Portland being a backup. Portland just seems like too small a market to move an MLB team there

Vegas makes so much more sense than any other city.

$$$ for an organization that hasn't had a brand or fans in a long time..you can finally attract free agents.

Also no division realignment necessary.

As an A's fan this isn't really news. This has always been the threat.

Oakland political leadership and dumbass illiterate citizens have and are doing their damnedest to screw this up.

The A's have already once offered a tax free stadium project. Privately funded. No strings.

But the local leadership blew it all up. The details would infuriate you even if you didn't give one damn about the A's or the city of Oakland. fricking California hippies and their dumbass politicans.

Howard Terminal might happen. But if it doesn't the A's are gone. And that's a shame because the A's have some of the best home town fans in all of professional sports.

Supply and demand.

If Oakland doesn't pony up some other city will and their current facility is a dump.

Oakland needs to tell them to kick rocks.

Biggest reason why I follow college sports on a consistent basis is that they won't leave your state.
