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.

Tim McCarver: Baseball Quotes
I remember one time going out to the mound to talk with Bob Gibson. He told me to get back behind the batter, that the only thing I knew about pitching was that it was hard to hit.

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

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.
