Rob Manfred 'sorry' for A's fans over team move, says owner John Fisher isn't to blame

The news that the Oakland Athletics are likely moving to Las Vegas is still brand new, and many A's fans are still (and will remain) deeply hurt by what looks like a naked money grab from the team's notoriously cheap owner, John Fisher. But don't worry! Commissioner Rob Manfred is here to rub salt into all those fresh, bleeding wounds.

While speaking to the Associated Press Sports Editors on Monday, Manfred took an entire millisecond to express his regret about the A's moving before immediately defending Fisher and saying he shouldn't be blamed for anything.
