On the Oakland A’s relocation podcast with Daniel:

#1 Daniel, Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao met with the City Council, and the Port of Oakland leadership and who City Chamber of Oakland A’s fans and media last Tuesday to present to MLB and those watching that the A’s belong in Oakland. This most likely was a last ditch effort to try and convince the owners not to move the team to Las Vegas.

#2 Thao, City Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan, the Port, and fans had a chance to speak and sell the idea of why the owners who are considering voting yes on moving the A’s to Vegas should change their vote.

#3 The biggest push at the Tuesday meeting was the City of Oakland has a plan in place for infrastructure that would accommodate retail, hotels and the ballpark. Mayor Thao said she is ready to pick up the phone if and when A’s owner John Fisher is willing to talk about coming back to the table.

#4 The owners since this whole relocation idea from the A’s went down last June have been air tight silent about where this will go. There has been speculation that a few teams could vote no because this would be a conflict with their marketing and broadcasting that was previously going into the Las Vegas market.

#5 It does boil down to the owners vote which is expected to take place between Nov 14-16 in Arlington Texas. One caveat that might set the relocation back is the idea of moving a sixth market team to the smallest MLB TV market with the smallest ballpark in the majors. Will this be a factor that could also bring some more no votes?
