On the A’s podcast with Barbara:

#1 Oakland A’s president David Kaval said on Friday the team is still negotiating with the city of Oakland and the city’s latest proposal to build a $12 billion stadium and infrastructure at Howard Terminal at Jack London Square.

#2 Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff said that talks continue. In July the Oakland city council approved a amended non binding term sheet. Kaval told the media before last Friday night’s game at the Coliseum that the A’s are keeping talks open with the city and are looking for a mutual agreement to continue talks.

#3 In Las Vegas the A’s have looked at several locations in South Nevada Henderson, the site of their triple A affiliate Summerlin, and in the Las Vegas proper. The A’s who are looking for a downtown setting at Howard Terminal in Oakland would they consider a non downtown or non strip setting in Vegas?

#4 The A’s are coming off a tough series with the San Francisco Giants you’ve had a chance to attend the series could you share any of your perspectives from that series?

#5 The A’s open a brief two game series with the Seattle Mariners at the Oakland Coliseum on Monday night the M’s will start Marco Gonzalez (5-5 ERA 4.10) and for the A’s Paul Blackburn (0-1 ERA 5.06) for a 6:40 pm PDT start.
