MLB commissioner Rob Manfred claims new A's stadium in Oakland is unlikely

Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred does not like the Oakland A’s chances of building a new stadium in Oakland.

Speaking with Chris “Mad Dog” Russo on SiriusXM, Manfred spoke plainly about a potential Oakland stadium’s prospects.

“I think the mayor in Oakland has made a huge effort to try to get it done in Oakland. It just doesn’t look like it’s going to happen,” said Manfred.

For years, the As have wanted to build a park at Howard Terminal in Oakland and have proposed a $12 billion development plan that would include a new stadium.
