Although the A’s season has unfortunately ended, it seems like there’s plenty of fireworks nights in store for A’s fans in the never ending ballpark saga this offseason.
To review, last week the Oakland City Council fired a shot across the bow of A’s fans, Oakland residents, and the Oakland A’s organization with an ill-conceived surprise lawsuit intended to block the A’s purchase of half the Coliseum site from Alameda County.
This weekend, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred took the extraordinary step of responding by talking to (or perhaps, more like giving a talking to) the Oakland mayor and members of the City Council, per Phil Matier at the San Francisco Chronicle.
