Happy Saturday, Athletics Nation!
It’s a new year, but the same old penny-pinching John Fisher at the top of the Oakland A’s. In reaction to the PR hit they received for cowardly denying the Oakland Ballers an opportunity to play at the Coliseum in 2024, the A’s tried to get some positive press out by confirming that the team met the requirements to indefinitely remain in the league’s revenue sharing program — i.e. MLB welfare. Of course, the A’s used their external PR department, the Las Vegas Review-Journal, to disseminate their message.
