The more this drags out with the A's not even being able to produce a rendering, the less plausible the A's claim that the problem with building a new stadium in Oakland was 100% the City of Oakland.
We live in rural Clark County, NV, outside Henderson/Vegas. Last time I wore my Last Dive Bar t-shirt to go shopping in Henderson, a store clerk mentioned she had grown up in the bay area as an A's fan. She (& other people I've spoken to) don't want the A's here. I'd personally go to an A's game at the coliseum before going to one here in Clark County. Plus, none of us want to give Fisher a dime, which will happen if this goes through. MLB owners currently look as incompetent as Fisher b/c they said yes to him. Thank you both for keeping this in the news & giving us A's fans hope. #SellTheTeamDoofus.
While the A's ownership are in Vegas wasting time with MLB's blessing on a half baked relocation the A's could have been much further along in building the stadium on the Bay at Howard Terminal. Manfred should have never came out during negotiations and suggested that they would waive the relocation fee which put Oakland at an disadvantage from the jump. Give Vegas an expansion team and let the A's have their waterfront ballpark across the Bay from the Giants and that's what's good for baseball! Thanks D.A.!
Yes! Thanks for hooking up with Casey! Local coverage + National coverage = clown car commencing 😅I would like to know why some National narrative like, Ken Rosenthal still believes the prospects of returning to Oakland is slim 😮
It’s morbidly funny, how people are more concerned with the A’s moving, than what is going on in the streets of Oakland. Restaurants are leaving, businesses are telling their workers to stay indoors, people are stealing left and right, people are being killed in the streets, homelessness is rampant and drug addiction is out of control…. But it’s all about the A’s, and how to keep them in a decrepit city that can’t even provide enough police protection to its residents. Real priorities and problems take a back seat to a billionaire’s toy. Way to go, love the concern you show for the regular people of Oakland!
@@Savi80 I don’t know if your T-Swift comment was in jest or not but that would be amazing if someone could convince her to do that. I highly doubt that would happen but there is way too much opportunity to get national/international attention. It’s such a bizarre coincidence that a Bay Area Football team is playing in the Super Bowl, in the same city that the Bay Area baseball team is supposed to be moving to! Rare opportunity that shouldn’t go to waste!
If the A’s do physically move to Las Vegas, the outcome will be the worst move of a sports franchise in North American History. A Franchise Owner who has no investment in his club and no interest in the sport, a desperate Sports Commissioner who wants to expand into a region based on financial gain and no fan base, two cities whose local governments and residents have been angered by an impotent owner and league ignorance, and what will become if it is ever built a sub standard major league stadium which will be known as the White Elephant of sports in North America.
Just a little marketing research would tell you that most of the baseball fans in Las Vegas are in this order fans of the Dodgers, Angels, Padres, Diamondbacks, Giants, Yankees, Braves. Notice that the A's are not on that list. Oh yea, the Dodgers have 4 Dodger stores to sell their stuff. No.1 store is at Dodger Stadium, No. 2 is in Las Vegas, 3. Universal City, and 4. Woodland Hills.
A's need a new owner and needs to stay in Oakland where they are wanted and loved. Vegas residents should have been given a voice in all of this , should be allowed to vote on this, but they are not given a voice. Taxpayers pay taxes to run their state not to fund billionaires who give little to nothing back to those same taxpayers. Fisher is an awful business man, awful owner who needs to sell and go away
I am honestly surprised the A's haven't considered Sacramento, Portland, Or. or Salt Lake City. I know they aren't huge markets, but they don't lack money or resources to do it. Sure, with Portland or Salt Lake City, they would need a retractable roof stadium. The weather is just too nasty in April and October for a team to not have it. I was honestly shocked Colorado didn't do that with the Rockies. I understand wanting a ballpark to look like a ballpark. But, when there is the potential for 3 or 4 feet of snow in a single storm, that becomes a serious issue. If Las Vegas is apathetic towards the A's moving there, then either the A's need to consider a new city or make a deal work in Oakland. Or MLB needs to force a change in ownership. They have done it before.
It’s 90% John Fisher and Manfred BUT Oakland city officials aren’t doing enough to fight the move! No litigation or threats to take it to congress (similar to the steroid congressional investigation.) A lot of Oakland elected officials don’t really care about the A’s and just put on a front that they care. I think Oakland elected officials need to get some backlash too! Push them them to actually do something more then just sending video packages out to MLB owners.
I'd like to see somebody get a quote from Oscar Goodman! You think Carolyn drops truth bombs?... 😃...Oscar will carpet bomb the place! The interesting thing would be - and I'm not sure how he's doing healthwise, so I don't know if it's doable or not - but Oscar tried to get MLB to Vegas by hook or crook during his tenure - expansion, poach a team from somewhere else - it was all on the table for him. It would be interesting to hear his reaction in THIS particular instance - having the shiftless, about to be homeless, doomed to failure John Fisher A's wearing the mantle of the city the Goodmans obviously love and have sheparded for decades. There isn't any love lost between the Goodmans and the Governor and his upstart machine at the state level, but for the Mayor to say what she said, and especially WHEN she said it, I think speaks to the level of revulsion with which they probably (don't know for sure, and that's the interesting part) both see this A's, and more importantly, MLB debacle...Not only that, Oscar is a flamboyant, opinionated, and pretty damn effective lawyer to boot. I'd like to get his two cents on prospective litigation against the A's from Oakland and Nevada, MLB losng their antitrust exemption - the whole yarnball...I'm sure he knows far more about the St. Louis v. NFL case law than any of us, so I would be stoked to hear him out...To what end does it make sense for Manfred to act as clueless as he does? Plausible deniability? Avoidance of responsibility? I mean, c'mon! Fisher is bad enough. But if I were any kind of financial officer of any financial firm or political body tasked with doing due diligence for any kind of financial ask - be it loans, revenue bonds, TIF, corporate paper, anything - and I looked at this kind of behavior on Manfred's part, I would have to ask myself...WTF? What kind of a corporate steward is this guy? ("...they'll play somewhere in the West...) Is he really even a lawyer? If Fisher were his client there would definitely be some malpractice charges being spoken of. If not Goodman, get some other lawyers on the record about these shenanigans...Talk about your dead skunk in the middle of the road!... 🤮...Have fun at SuBo LVIII, DA. I wouldn't go anywhere near The Strip on Sunday...Casey is always a good collab...
I live in Utah, moved here 2 years ago (from Walnut Creek - lifelong A's fan), and I've asked random people when I check out to buy stuff, and fans here actually WANT the A's
A's owner has reached a point where he shat all over his franchise to get out of Oakland that nobody cares or wants his mid sports franchise energy around. Self-inlficted wound.
MLB wants to wrench the A's out of Oakland. Rob Manfred trained at the elbow of Bud Selig who said in June 2001 that the A's move to Oakland in 1968 was a "horrible mistake" and then lied about its impact on the Giants and performance in the market. Even if MLB forces Fisher to sell, it will be to a Las Vegas ownership group or an ownership group committed to relocation to Las Vegas. I would bet everything I own that MLB would not allow the A's to continue in Oakland under any circumstances.
MLB may take this as they don't want MLB and not get an expansion team, which is highly likely. MLB has not really fully embraced sports betting. Nashville and Utah are the front runners IMO. But its more the Mayor of Las Vegas being pissed they are not building on the plot of land that the City would get more money from. That's why the comments.
They are not going to stay in Oakland anyone still thinking this will be sadly disappointed Ken Rosenthal says the owners have decided that Oakland is over , they will be placed elsewhere and anywhere before they would stay in Oakland
So let me get this right, A Raiders worker is taking a shot at the A's with regard to winning and success? LMAO, Raiders have had two winning seasons since '03. A's have been relatively successful. Way better than the Halos and Spears in their own division. Yeah, tough year last year but they know how to break it down it down and build it back up too. Started to play better last year toward the end. Wearing a roots shirt, no one even knows what that is, lol. No one cares.
STAY IN OAKLAND!!!
Keep it up, DA! 💚💚💚

Two great channels, great to see the team up.
While the A's ownership are in Vegas wasting time with MLB's blessing on a half baked relocation the A's could have been much further along in building the stadium on the Bay at Howard Terminal.

The Raiders are the only team in the NFL that uses a silent count at home, because there are more visiting fans than Raiders fans at most home games.
The Chargers did too when they played at the soccer stadium.
Yes! Thanks for hooking up with Casey! Local coverage + National coverage = clown car commencing 😅I would like to know why some National narrative like, Ken Rosenthal still believes the prospects of returning to Oakland is slim 😮
Both you guys rock!!!!
Let’s Go Oakland!!
A power team! I was basically done with sports given the As treatment of people in Oakland. But DA brings me hope.
I really hope the A's stay in Oakland. Baseball fans everywhere are rooting for the fans of the A's.
Saludos Damon Amendolara

You guys are great as always. Enjoy the Super Bowl!
As an expat Oakland A’s fan, it’s great to see you guys teaming up. This is turning into a disaster for MLB.
It’s morbidly funny, how people are more concerned with the A’s moving, than what is going on in the streets of Oakland. Restaurants are leaving, businesses are telling their workers to stay indoors, people are stealing left and right, people are being killed in the streets, homelessness is rampant and drug addiction is out of control….

I really wish 49ers players wore “sell the team shirts” or “rooted in Oakland” shirts during press junkets. Something!
Or Taylor swift just imagine what that would do to all this mess
@@Savi80 I don’t know if your T-Swift comment was in jest or not but that would be amazing if someone could convince her to do that. I highly doubt that would happen but there is way too much opportunity to get national/international attention.
It’s such a bizarre coincidence that a Bay Area Football team is playing in the Super Bowl, in the same city that the Bay Area baseball team is supposed to be moving to! Rare opportunity that shouldn’t go to waste!
They would probably be prevented from doing so by the NFL but it would be awesome if they could!
The 49ers already have a baseball team, the giants.
That would have been hilarious.
Lmao I love that MGM is the new mafia in Vegas, that’s something I had no idea about until now
John Fisher Is a Embarrassment To MLB
This has been such a bittersweet season as a 49ers/A’s fan, watching my team play the championship in the city that stole my other team
John Fisher SHOULD also SELL THE EARTHQUAKES!!!
If the A’s do physically move to Las Vegas, the outcome will be the worst move of a sports franchise in North American History.

A cab driver has spoken that’s all I need to hear.
DA for president!!!
"STAY IN OAKLAND" Did she really say that???

Dame… announce when you come out when you know. 👌🏾

I think Salt Lake City should be in play as well. Utah seems to want the A’s
It’s 90% John Fisher and Manfred BUT Oakland city officials aren’t doing enough to fight the move!

What if the Trop won't implode???
Why is it a bad deal?
Greed drives pro sports. This is the A's and baseball's greed showing. Oakland deserves better.
John Fischer owner of A's not spend monney Vegas will not see results in world series as results be force to sell

I can't imagine they will be imploding that hotel soon. Given the age of that hotel, you can bet that there is asbestos throughout that property.
I live in Las Vegas, and can’t wait to get the A’s. Oakland is a terrible city that has NEVER supported the A’s.
I live in Utah, moved here 2 years ago (from Walnut Creek - lifelong A's fan), and I've asked random people when I check out to buy stuff, and fans here actually WANT the A's
They want the A’s but for sure not with fisher for too long
A's owner has reached a point where he shat all over his franchise to get out of Oakland that nobody cares or wants his mid sports franchise energy around. Self-inlficted wound.
what's "mid" about the worst record in baseball
MLB wants to wrench the A's out of Oakland. Rob Manfred trained at the elbow of Bud Selig who said in June 2001 that the A's move to Oakland in 1968 was a "horrible mistake" and then lied about its impact on the Giants and performance in the market.

I would bet everything I own that MLB would not allow the A's to continue in Oakland under any circumstances.
Lol Vegas A's is a real thing. Power brokers in Vegas decide. Not some minions.
MLB may take this as they don't want MLB and not get an expansion team, which is highly likely. MLB has not really fully embraced sports betting. Nashville and Utah are the front runners IMO. But its more the Mayor of Las Vegas being pissed they are not building on the plot of land that the City would get more money from. That's why the comments.
Milktoast Manfred is going to have to grow a pair.
Stay in Oakland. Sell the team! Vegas doesn’t want you!
Casey and this geek should give it up.
They are not going to stay in Oakland anyone still thinking this will be sadly disappointed Ken Rosenthal says the owners have decided that Oakland is over , they will be placed elsewhere and anywhere before they would stay in Oakland
Nothing to do with the A's. America is just over Pro Baseball. Hell the WWE has more fans than MLB that should be your first hint 😂😂
So it’s okay to have a hockey and football team. But baseball is out of the question. Interesting 🤔
No one ever said that. They want an expansion team. Not the Athletics.
So let me get this right, A Raiders worker is taking a shot at the A's with regard to winning and success? LMAO, Raiders have had two winning seasons since '03. A's have been relatively successful. Way better than the Halos and Spears in their own division. Yeah, tough year last year but they know how to break it down it down and build it back up too. Started to play better last year toward the end. Wearing a roots shirt, no one even knows what that is, lol. No one cares.
