It’s Friday, Athletics Nation.
Well, pie in my face: the A’s have announced that 2024 will be their last season in Oakland.
I thought the A’s would work out an extension at the Coliseum, though I am not really shocked that negotiations fell through. The level of animus between between the city, its fans, and the A’s has reached such a high degree of toxicity that simply disengaging ought to be something of a relief at this point. I’m sure, however, that much of this resentment will spill over into the massive floodplain that is the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and find its way into Sutter Health Park.
