The existence of John Fisher, one of the all-time winners in the genetic lottery and a member in good standing of the Billionaire's Boyz Club of owners, is symbolic of MLB rot today. He and his lapdogs Kaval and Manfred are the triplet poster boys for the State Of The Game today. His toy "team", once upon a time a proud franchise, is now an apt reflection of himself and MLB: an inept, hapless, embarrassing punchline.  I'll take a peek from time to time only out of morbid curiosity.

Fisher is a bum.  But I really don’t see how that equates to the rest of major league baseball. Which is in fact, thriving

according to ESPN, the Athletics will be playing in Sacramento from 2025-2027.

Fisher is such an embarrassment. When MLB does things like allowing Fisher to treat the A’s like his personal fiefdom, I start to question why I’m paying attention to baseball. I’m hoping that the Las Vegas deal fails. The Chron reporters seem to think it’s smoke and mirrors at this point.

Did JD Davis sign with Oakland thinking his home games were going to be in a 10,000 seat stadium in Sacramento?

They aren’t JD will  be traded at the deadline.  Or, move on next year.

Glad that JD is doing well. 22 ABs, 8 hits two doubles, two HRs, .364 avg, .417 OBP, 1.144 OPS. Much better hitting than Chapman, but Chapman has fielded like crazy. Chap's had 22 chances, 0 errors in 58 innings. JD has had one error in 7 chances in 47 innings at 3B. He's already -2 Rtot. I watched four innings of one game where Chapman fielded two ridiculous balls that JD wouldn't come within a yard of, and Chap threw out both runners. Very glad Chapman's a Giant.
