In the last two days, A’s fans have been met with very impactful news that the long-time ownership group led by managing partner Lew Wolff and majority investor John Fisher will be coming to a close. After 12 seasons at the helm, Wolff will be stepping down from the organization’s lead role and will be selling a large portion of his ownership stake to certain remaining owners. While the ownership change is not a majority stake, the change in control is meaningful.
So while the most recent 12 seasons of A’s baseball would best be described as the “Wolff-Fisher Era”, the current situation is a new beginning as truly the “Fisher Era”.
