The city of San Jose has been dealt another legal blow in its fading efforts to bring the A’s to the South Bay.

A Santa Clara County judge has ruled that the city violated local laws by setting aside a piece of land for the A’s to potentially build a ballpark without first putting it before voters. This news comes as the city is trying to get the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its antitrust lawsuit against Major League Baseball for allegedly blocking the city’s efforts to lure the A’s.
