On the A’s podcast with Jerry F:

#1 Jerry, On Wednesday Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said he hopes MLB owners will hold the vote to relocate the Oakland A’s to Las Vegas.

#2 Jerry, Manfred said he hopes the relocation vote will take place in Arlington between Nov 14-16th.

#3 Las Vegas will be the A’s fourth city since the franchise started in Philadelphia in 1901-54, then to Kanas City from 1954-67, and to Oakland from 1968 to the present.

#4 The only thing that can stop the A’s from relocating is the owners vote no on the move. Manfred appears to be very confident to a point that he’s looking past the vote but when the A’s will pull up stakes and move out of Oakland.

#5 The other move that could stop the A’s moving to Vegas is the Schools over Stadiums group who aim to put a ballot measure that says the state should not be using public funds to subsidize building a ballpark at the Tropicana location but the funds should be going to schools. If there are a enough signatures from four different districts on the Nevada petitions the vote would take place Nov 2025.

New York Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner will be one of the 30 owners to vote on the Oakland A’s relocation in mid November. Sources say Steinbrenner is not too favorable to the A’s leaving a big TV market for the smallest TV market in MLB. Will the other owners feel the same way? (AP file photo)

On the Oakland A’s podcast with Daniel Dullum:

#1 Thursday MLB owners have decided to vote on the future of the Oakland A’s and their relocation to the Las Vegas Tropicana location. They have decided to hold the vote in mid November.

#2 Daniel, talk about the first step of the process with the MLB owners three man committee Milwaukee Brewers chairman Mark Attanasio, who is chairing the committee, Philadelphia Phillies CEO John Middleton and Kansas City Royals CEO John Sherman. They will be reviewing the A’s application and will send it for review to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred.

#3 After Manfred reviews the application he will send it to an MLB eight man executive council with his recommendation. The eight man council will be reviewing the environmental impact reports, the financial benefits, the TV market, the funding of the park, and weigh the benefits of moving to Las Vegas and moving out of Oakland.

#4 After the eight man council review the application they will then send it to the 30 Major League teams where the owner of each team will vote on the A’s relocation. The A’s need 75% of the vote in order to move the team to Las Vegas.

#5 Taking all things into consideration Daniel with what’s in front of the three steps at MLB to make this happen do you see any outside chance that MLB can get at least eight MLB teams to say no and get on board against the relocation? The minimum that would stop the move of the A’s.

#5 Amaury, how much do you think the fans and public at large have a say in the Oakland A’s relocation. There are people in Las Vegas who are not too happy about the way this deal went down to get the A’s with the use of the public money. Could the negative feedback of the fans possibly influence the owners at the relocation vote?
