    Sounds like just a power play but i'd love to see this happen. Bring them to Raleigh please. I really don't have much sympathy for any area that has not 1 but 2 teams locally while we sit in a hotbed of baseball fandom that doesn't have a MLB team closer than 4 hours away.

    Sacramento. They'll retain the east bay fans, plus add fans up and down the central valley. Sac currently has a AAA stadium that could be used while a proper major league park is constructed.

    Please make sure to ask the Giants for permission to move anywhere. Even Alaska.

    Hey. The Alaskan Athletics. Instead of an elephant you can have a husky as the mascot.

    Would be nice if every city told the A’s ownership to stuff it with their ludicrous fund requests but you have to figure someone will bite the bullet.

    Purely from a fan and balance standpoint I think Portland would probably make the most sense.

    There's already too many teams east of the Mississippi so I don't see that as a fit. If they aren't going to realign the divisions it needs to be west coast or Texas...
