He is no longer in that group.Isn't Dave Stewart tied to a group wanting to bring a team to Nashville?
Edit: Saw above post. Apparently yes
...and he’d been working with Music City Baseball, an investment group that has been championing the prospect of landing an expansion team it would call the Nashville Stars, until last November, when he left the group citing “philosophical differences.”
Stewart is also an Oakland native. So he could be looking at Nashville and beating Music City to the punch based on his knowledge of the development of that project...
OR, he could be looking to replace the A's in the East Bay; And would he seek a "branding trade" with Fisher if he did so?
I’m not sure the Giants will ever let another team come to Northern California once the A’s are gone. They’ll assert that it’s all their territory now and block anyone else just as they blocked the A’s from moving to San Jose.Stewart is also an Oakland native.

The value of the team instantly plummets with a move.
Why would anyone pay Chicago price to put a team in Nashville? And if MLB is intent on expanding, why would they let someone move a team there and line Reinsdorf's pocket, not their own?
