Oakland mayor Sheng Thao met with MLB commissioner Rob Manfred in Seattle during All-Star week festivities and presented him with documented evidence of the city’s plan to build a new ballpark for the Oakland Athletics. She also gave Manfred packets with information on the offer for a new stadium at Howard Terminal to give to each team owner.
Manfred addressed the media back on June 15 and stated that “There is no Oakland offer.” Thao’s office quickly released a statement stating that Manfred’s claim was false.
As per @TheAthletic, here is Mayor Thao’s letter to the Commissioner regarding the Oakland A’s, with copy to all the teams.
