Good. Let's hope they look at options in Fremont or elsewhere in the East Bay and leave San Jose alone.

San Jose is not an option. The Giants own that territory.

This sounds more like "MLB is giving the A's the tools to screw the city of Oakland out of as much cash as possible in the new lease agreement" than it does anything else.

I know that and you know that, but the A's keeping pushing that as an option.

Agreed.

But it is still official permission, none the less.

"The guys are REAL excited about moving to San Antonio!"

Gee, I'm shocked. After "Bud" announced that the A's could move if they didn't get a signed lease, Oakland approved the lease deal.

What a surprise.

ESPN 's reporting that the Raiders have permission to explore moving to San Antonio.

The A's can't be far behind.
