Chapters:
0:00 This story was different, 12 total interviews
1:56 The negotiation summit
2:43 "I can't believe this"
3:46 Totally illegal
6:12 About that remaining gap
7:04 Competing with the Giants
8:46 So many Vegas questions
10:16 That relocation application?
11:34 Waived RELOCATION fee
12:58 San Jose Earthquakes... problems?
15:24 Purchase offers?
16:31 Potential buyers?
17:08 A Caretaker
18:48 A lesser win, eventually
This story is based on interviews with more than a dozen sources familiar with the negotiations and motivations, some of whom requested anonymity to speak freely. They reveal a messy, complicated and ultimately confounding path that led Fisher and the A's to decide to take the A's out of Oakland, their home for 55 years, and leave the city without a major professional sports franchise.
