One of the worst owners in sports. How much worse can they be than the owners of the Marlins (although I guess he sold out)or Pittsburgh? |

I like the idea of the A's moving to Vegas. Gives me another venue within 4-5 hour drive to catch the Yanks...just wish it was sooner. |

It is the playing in a minor league stadium (and the minor league team is not moving) that is wacky. I feel sorry for the A's but it amazing they did not leave decades ago. There were games in the 80's that only had a few hundred fans. |

Frankly, I'm not sure the owner deserves all the criticism...the Coliseum, or whatever it's called today, is the 1st or 2nd worst in MLB. Another thing that's always bothered me...why is there an apostrophe in the A's? |

I think that the A's should play at the Vegas AAA park and move their AAA club to another city.

The A's could not draw large crowds when they were an elite team. Why Finley ever thought he could make money there is beyond me. |

It's amazing so many sports franchise have left Oakland. From NBA, NFL to MLB, seems a critical mass fan base is not there to retain them.

Works for me 😄. Sacramento is a short 2 hour drive from Reno.
