On That’s Amaury News and Commentary podcast:
#1 Amaury, the players are concerned about having to play in the interim in minor league parks whether it be in Reno, Sacramento or Las Vegas.
#2 Another issue about using a minor league park is locker room size, the amenities, the size and atmosphere does not fit Major League standards.
#3 another issue some of the Major League owners don’t want to use a Minor League facility because the gate will be much smaller than a big league park.
#4 The idea has surfaced about using Oracle Park in San Francisco that could go two ways #1 the Giants would say absolutely not they want to the A’s to figure out their own park issues or #2 they could extend a kind gesture since the A’s are leaving are leaving the market anyway and the Giants could get a cut of that gate as well.
#5 What would be strange about a A’s using Oracle Park circumstance and allowed by the Giants. The Giants will not relinquish their territory rights in the South Bay, why would they allow the A’s to their share their park at Oracle.
