I laugh that people believe twerps like the Castellinis yesterday when they come out and say they are losing money on the Reds. And they spend over 100 million on salaries compared to the A's who are going to be under 30 when they deal Montas eventually.

John Fisher made a deal with mlb. In exchange for conducting studies and financing his own trips to and from Vegas, the league put them back on the small market list and are giving them money. If I’m a fellow owner I’m pissed that a multi-billionaire is crying poor and basically taking money from me.
If the league didn’t want Vegas so much they’d force a sell, which will likely happen anyway once Fisher gets his waterfront park. That’s all he’s done his entire life; take other people’s money and make even more off of it.

A's edge O's before smallest home crowd in nearly 42 years
Seth Brown hit a two-run double in the sixth inning, Cristian Pache made another spectacular defensive play and Oakland beat the Baltimore Orioles 2-1 on Tuesday night before the Athletics’ smallest home crowd in 42 years. A day after their lowest attendance for a home opener without...
The Oakland A's (and MLB) discouraged fans from coming to the Coliseum. The people listened.
Oakland's search for a new stadium has been going on for nearly three decades – and things are getting progressively uglier.

If the second story is true, MLB itself is wrong and should be suspended from making any baseball decisions.

If the second story is true, isn't MLB itself wrong and should be suspended from making any baseball decisions?

He wants it all public-funded despite being a multi-bullionaire. And it’s not just a stadium, it’s a double-digit billion-dollar neighborhood with a stadium in it.
The city of Oakland is damned either way, and that’s perfectly fine with Manfred and the league.
And hopefully no other city will want the team unless there are new owners.

Vegas doesn’t seem to care who owns them as long as they get more entertainment.
I can’t wait until lake Mead completely dries out and they’re all screwed there.

Oakland A's need a change in ownership, not a change in scenery

Nice little part in there about how Fisher’s SJ Earthquake got a new stadium 7 years ago and remain bottom of the league in payroll. People really expect this grifter to be any different with the A’s?

He’ll just cook them and call them ‘dollar dogs’.
Most stadiums have feral cats to help naturally control the rat/mice populations. It’s just more noticeable in a stadium run by John Rachel Phelps Fisher himself.

All the owners, I suspect. They all benefit financially from such projects, either in terms of replacing their existing stadiums with lucrative real estate projects (and reaping the benefits of the municipal debt used to pay for them) or in terms of increased franchise valuation to prospective buyers looking for the benefits of stadium replacement.
