On That’s Amaury News and Commentary:

#1 How powerful is the message that current San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan and four former San Jose Mayors are sending by letter asking Rob Manfred to suspend territorial rights in the South Bay so that San Jose could have a chance to get an expansion team since the A’s will be leaving for Las Vegas?

#2 MLB owners are close to voting on the future of the A’s a 75% vote will approve an A’s move out of Oakland for the 30 owners who will be voting on the A’s future. How closed is the door for San Jose to have a chance at getting an expansion team?

#3 The five San Jose Mayors go onto to write that San Francisco and Oakland are much smaller in population than San Jose but it also it also bring in $410 billion in GDP in the South Bay.

#4 San Jose’s economy the five Mayors point out also surpasses 30 US states and that it has the highest amount of tech companies than any place on the planet.

#5 With that knowledge and that kind of economic base how hard of a fight will MLB, the San Francisco Giants and the Giants CEO Larry Baer in trying to defend their territorial rights to the South Bay. Some argue that the Giants will have all of Northern California, up to Oregon to themselves and without the A’s it’s not a competitive a baseball market?
