MIAMI — Commissioner Rob Manfred said Tuesday that he’s not losing patience with the A’s, who gave themselves a year to settle on a ballpark site.
In the wake of the management changeover — including Lew Wolff’s departure as managing partner, Dave Kaval’s arrival as president and owner John Fisher’s increased involvement in the stadium process — the A’s said in January that they’d pick a site by December.
“Given the change in the control situation,” Manfred said, “I think it’s prudent and sufficient for Mr. Fisher to take a year and make a decision on what site he thinks is the best.
