Imagine if he was in a position of power to influence people to keep the A's in Oakland, wouldn't that be something?

Is his job serving the interest of 1/30 fanbases or the other 29? Oakland just is a crap market. Ask why this is the third team bailing in like 5 years. Commish has been openly warning City of Oakland, get your stuff together, for years, and they haven't.

Move to Vegas, you get a state of the art ballpark, club valuation doubles or triples overnight, there's more cash (tv money) that can be influxed into the roster, and now you are cooking. And guess what, this is a way better outcome for MLB. Everyone wins, except city of Oak. Oakland has no claim or ownership over the A's. They were a Philly club, then moved to KC, then moved to Oak in 68. So they were in Oak, prior to the moon landing, guess what stadium they moved into in 68? the Coliseum.

City of Oak had 50+ years to get their stuff together on a new yard and failed.

Are we not judging on results? Why did the Raiders leave? Why did the Warriors leave? It's the most disastrous sports market in the US right now.

The Raiders went from like dead last in NFL franchise valuation, to top 10 now in Vegas. They doubled or tripled their franchise value. A's will be similar. Ask yourself what owner would leave billions in franchise valuation on the table, to be held hostage to a city, where nothing gets done. Why did 50+ years go by without traction on a yard, how many more decades would they have to wait to have a new stadium. You either get the park done cuz you want 30+ years of MLB in your city, or the team walks.
