Detroit — Robbie Grossman paused for a second before answering the question.
“I want to make sure I say this right,” he said.
He was asked if his heart broke just a little to see what’s going on out in Oakland these days, with ownership raising prices drastically and attendance dropping to all-time lows. After drawing more than 17,000 for the home opener last week, the attendance for the subsequent four home games was 3,748, 2,730 (lowest since 1980), 4,429 and 7,012.
“I hope they move to Vegas,” he said.
Grossman played two seasons for the Athletics in Oakland, 2019 and 2020.
