As A's owner John Fisher tours relocation options, team President Dave Kaval is trolling fanbase

Last I checked, the Oakland A's still play at the Coliseum. They are 28-21 on the season and firmly in contention for a playoff spot. But their owner John Fisher, and their front office led by President Dave Kaval, are posturing as if they're on a break with the city of Oakland — which might be a surprise to its residents.

Fisher is impatient and upset at the city of Oakland for not moving heaven and Earth to immediately come to terms on a complicated proposal for a ballpark/associated developments at Howard Terminal. He's gathered an entourage to examine potential relocation options for the A's, but he (correctly) deduced that he can't be the face of those efforts, seeing as there's nothing more annoying than a whiny billionaire demanding more revenue.
