Smart man. Nobody wants to work for John Fisher, the cheapest bastard and worst owner in the history of professional sports #FJF @Athletics @MLB @VegasAthletics #athletics #Athletics
Sam Fuld was offered the A’s job as president of baseball operations but declined to take it and has withdrawn from consideration, sources tell ESPN. Fuld, who was previously GM of Philadelphia, will remain in his current role as president of business operations for the Phillies.

Oakland fans should always remember this: no matter where the team ends up, their fight to keep it helped spark a new conversation—one that challenges the practice of abandoning the communities that built it.
Today, @SenSanders and I introduced the Home Team Act. Too often, billionaire sports team owners are getting richer while fans and taxpayers get screwed. Our bill requires team owners to offer locals the chance to buy a team before moving it away.

You’re better than this sad take, Mitch. This sport needs relegation and promotion. These billionaires can’t keep taking their customers for granted. There’s no other business in the world where that would work. Blame your customers for your problems. Naw.
Replying to @CaseyAPratt
It’s a terrible movement. It has never succeeded and has probably contributed to cities losing their teams. I don’t understand why it is celebrated or encouraged for others.

The Laney College debacle was the tipping point for me -- and several smart people I know in the industry. I once asked David Kaval how it was possible to lose possibly the best available site because they weren't prepared vs. a community college board and he had no answer.
Replying to @timkawakami
When we found out that Fisher and Kaval didn't even consult with and get approval from the Peralta Community College District Trustees when they announced that the stadium site would be at Laney, my thought was - they can't be that incompetent! What a hell of an awakening...

I thought I’d poured out every last drop of feeling, but today proves there’s always more left to say. Today is Opening Day, a day that used to shimmer with hope under clear skies and echo with the roar of cheering crowds. For years, it was the heartbeat of my season, a time when every moment felt brimming with promise. But for the first time since 2015, I won’t be there, watching my team take the field. The team I loved has not only lost its roots, but also the future memories we were meant to share.and I am going to miss every minute of it. I’ve come to accept that the A’s are gone, but that acceptance doesn’t silence the pain I feel in my heart. From here on out, every time I walk into a ballpark, I know it will never feel like how it felt when I walked into the Oakland Coliseum. Maybe one day I can find it in myself to cheer for another team but I would never be the same fan I was for the Oakland A’s. Time will tell. While I’ll still join my girlfriend at a few Giants games (envying her fandom) I will no longer attend an ‘Athletics’ game whether at home or away. In my heart, I’ll forever be an Oakland A’s fan. Fuck you John Fisher & Rob Manfred #OpeningDay

The Oakland A’s were killed by greed. Do not allow the people responsible for this to spin it any other way. John Fisher did not have to move this team. Major League Baseball and its owners did not need to be complicit in it. This was a choice. A wrong one. History will sneer.

On Opening Day, Oakland is once again reminded of the greed and incompetence that not only run the A’s but the entire MLB. A league more focused on profits than preserving history or loyalty to its cities. FJF for life. We will never forget.

I was thinking about the Coliseum all day on Saturday. A huge congrats to @oaklandrootssc and @EdreeceA, but the biggest kudos goes to all East Bay fans. You are standing up for yourselves and reclaiming your community. So proud.

People are free to do what they want, but it doesn’t sit right with me seeing A’s fans still supporting this joke of an organization. This team abandoned your community and treated you, your fellow fans, and your city like shit and you’re still going to follow them? Gross.

It’s hard to put into words the loss of this legend, but the last line of this post sums it up well. We will never forget your greatness.
If you’re as sad I am regarding Rickey Henderson’s passing. This highlight package is surely going to bring your spirits. He would want us to remember how great he was. #RIPRickeyHenderson
