Sacramento A's

You have to be worse than this for the other owners to kick you out.

That's pretty bad.  Many local colleges have better set ups...  Even the mini-"OPACY" at the Ripken Experience in Aberdeen may be better!

Would seem to be the type of thing the MLBPA should take interest in.

Maybe force the A's to spend on some upgrades?

I honestly don’t know how all that works.  But one would think...  not just the MLBPA, but other teams' coaches and GMs, and ultimately owners.  

Or does that upset the federally sanctioned monopoly?  Too many backroom deals to mess with a Judas?  I just don’t know.

That's terrible.

One of my favorite John Fishers was when he complained about having to spend bonus pool money.

I have family in Sacramento so I look forward to attending some of these games, hopefully when the O's are there. Wish me luck

I've been to several games at this park in Sacramento.  It's a nice minor league ball park,  but not something I could see a a home for a major league club.  I know the A's toured the park in Salt Lake City, as well.   That,  too, is a great minor league park with some terrific views.  They are building a new park in SLC, as well.   They think they can get an expansion club there.

I feel bad for A’s fans.  I can’t imagine losing the O’s.

MLB is so good at self-sabotage.

They're still reeling from losing the Raiders

He wants to see opposing players hit HRs against his team.

I assume MLB has to approve this.  Have they done so?

They tacitly did when they approved the move. Where the Athletics would play as they waited for their pleasure garden to be built was the elephant in the room (pun intended). The owners washed their hands of the mess.
