I feel like there's a few folks in A's Twitter that Rebecca Kaplan, Oakland City Council should bring on into these talks to keep this whole thing honest. The city shouldn't budge a goddamn inch on this.
Aaron Cameron Interesting. What are the other realistic viable options for the A's to reduce leverage? Not saying Oakland can get them to commit to HT or anything, but they can deny them the Coli, which would have Owners giving Fisher the stink eye, may be leverage a sale?! Worth a try IMO.
Aaron Cameron I think that is the gamble. Is it enough for them to suffice in SLC or Reno. Can they make it on $16M TV revenue?! But let's be real, if they could survive in SLC or Reno they would have never came back to the table. It's really real. Fisher and Kaval know that.
Aaron Cameron It depends. They have MLB over the barrel of MLBPA quietly and behind the scenes nixed playing in a minor league park altogether. That’s my real hope; if that’s the case they stay or get an expansion team. That said,if it’s just about the TV $$ they can get the land back at least
