Just a heads up: Besides spewing clickbait about things that weren’t remotely true, @LockedOnAs is now cozying up with the anti-Oakland Vegas trolls. Reminder, there is now a new person running the Locked On A’s account, so I’d recommend unfollowing them ASAP!

Reggie Jackson says that he outbid John Fisher by $25M when he bought the A's, but the commissioner (Selig) wouldn't allow the bid to go forward.
Reggie Jackson says he was actually the high bidder when John Fisher bought the A's and was willing to pay $25M more than any other offer: “I don’t think the team would be where it is today if I was connected with ownership.” More with @mroctober » gofos.co/4fnqcyy

Good read. Bottom line: Nobody is investing hundreds of millions to become a minority owner with Fisher at the helm. Just one of many things that are never happening with this fiasco, including Bally’s Corp. never building a resort on the Trop site, GLPI never footing the bill for Bally’s as it’s doing in Chicago, Fisher is never selling his stock (and handing over 20% to the government) to finance anything, no ballpark is being built on The Strip for $1.5 billion, the list goes on and on.
One thing that is so laughable to me about John Fisher/the A’s attempts to sell a 25% stake for $500m is that the whole investment is SOOOOO dumb for the first investor to get involved. Here is a breakdown of why it is dumb. Some basic accounting/math (A thread 🧵): (🧵 1/15)

"Fisher plans to start shopping a 25% chunk of the team with a price tag of $500 million in the coming days, two sources close to the situation told The Post." He's going to 'start shopping'... now? But I thought financing was all set? What a sh*tshow. nypost.com/2024/10/23/busine…

Source: A’s ballpark financing ‘in place,’ but public discussion will wait until December LVCVA CEO Steve Hill says the team’s owner “has the equity” to build the $1.5 billion Las Vegas development. thenevadaindependent.com/art… @TheNVIndy

John Fisher @DaveKaval do the same. Just #SellTheTeam
JUST IN: Longtime majority owner Jerry Reinsdorf is open to selling the Chicago White Sox, sources briefed on the matter told The Athletic. Reinsdorf is in active discussions with a group led by former big leaguer Dave Stewart. @Britt_Ghiroli has more: nytimes.com/athletic/5848339…

Absolutely mind blowing what John Fisher has done as an owner to completely drive the A’s franchise into the ground. Sox and Twins just sell without any real sustained bad PR. But John Fisher??? Just sitting here making a mockery of himself, MLB, this franchise, and his family name. WTF is wrong with him????

Today's laughable PR piece for the A's. "THeRe aRe InTEntiOnS!" Nobody's ever questioned whether Fisher and his family have the ability to contribute to the alleged ballpark, there's been no tangible indication he actually will.

All the spots you thought would be great to watch the Trop implosion are being taped off. Are we the only one saying A's and Bally's handling of the implosion (spectacle you're not invited to) is a metaphor for the entire A's/Bally's/Tropicana debacle? (h/t @DSchwartz99LV)

Just wanted to pass along thanks to the great fans of @Athletics for making the last game in Oakland so memorable. It was emotional and difficult for sure, but there was beauty in the sadness. The sense of community has always been apparent, and never more so than on a day when teary-eyed fans were hugging people they didn’t know when it was over. Unforgettable.

Residents in South Tampa are lining up for miles to get sandbags, with some arriving as early as 4:30 AM to secure their supply. Hurricane Milton is currently a Category 4 storm, with sustained winds of 150 mph. It’s critical for Florida to complete its preparations now. @MyRadarWX #hurricane #Milton #flwx – at Florida, USA
