Absolutely. Sacramento is already infinitely more excited about just 3 years than Vegas is about the entire future. Personally, I believe that the A's ownership is skimming on a lot of details right now on purpose, but I think Vegas is falling apart and they're easing into shifting to Sacramento instead. That's just my tin foil hat take, but I'd bet on it.
Joh Fisher put 7 playoff teams on the field in the 18 years he's owned the team and the fans still didn't show. I think it's the City of Oakland and the fans that don't care about baseball
@@Spinach_D It’s not Oaklands fault. John Fisher constantly trades star and fan favorite players because he doesn’t wanna pay them to keep them. The A’s historically under John Fishers ownership, have always had the lowest payroll. John Fishers payroll for the entire team this season is $40 Million. Think about that. Theres MLB Players that make that in 1 year. John Fisher doesn’t wanna invest into his team. A few years ago, we had Chapman, Olson, Semien, Piscotty, etc and they were star players but got traded because Fisher doesn’t wanna put out a good team. Thats why there are no one showing up anymore. Why show up if ownership doesn’t show love to the fans and if John Fisher doesn’t care about his team
@@LILDOGGY9922 the A’s having a low payroll is not a John Fisher thing it’s an A’s thing going back to 1900. The A’s have a cycle of putting together super teams that win then they break them apart, rebuild and do it again. They have done this for 105 years before Fisher arrived and they have won 9 x WS and 17 x AL pennants. And with all that success they still can’t get fans to show up. Since Fisher took over he has put 7 playoff teams on the field in 18 years. Few teams have that success. And still the A’s can’t get fans out to the park. The city of Oakland has refused helping fund several new ball parks and renovations. Every other MLB team gets public funds so why should John Fisher be expected be the only MLB owner to pay for his own ball park?
I doubt Manfred cares. Viv said there is no guarantee, just an audition. Take in A's, have that opp. Do well and it will get noticed for sure. Whereas other cities won't even have that opp.
There's no way Sacramento or Oakland would be expansion options. Sacramento's best shot is Vegas falling through and the A's stay in Sac. Salt Lake City is much more likely for expansion because they've already thrown out proposals showing they're willing to shell out public money. New cities are way more thirsty for sports than existing ones. To their detriment too.
Expansion in West - Sactown, Portland, SLC - feel if MLB were smart they would allow a team in South Bay Area and no longer accept Giants' geographical claim over that area.
@@ValleyProud916 You might still feel the same way, but I was thinking more the South East Bay Area like Fremont - still capture the East Bay fans and attract South Bay fans.
If they cannot stay in Oakland, I hope Sac. can keep them! MLB needs to step in and take the team away from the A's ownership. great show by the way guys!
That's what I'm thinking, I'm in Oakland but I might be compelled to stay an A's fan as long as they are in NorCal. But definitely no longer. If they stay in Oakland for the interim I might go to some games just for my daughter to see.
There would've been more money for an expansion team in LV... More than Oakland or Sac. They should keep the A's in Norcal somewhere and let lv get an expansion.
Hypothetically speaking if the A's became Sacramento's team what would happen with the rivercats if anything, isnt that some kind of conflict with them being the SF giants affiliate??
Oakland’s failed leadership and politicians drove out the Raiders, Warriors, and now the A’s.. the small number of loyal A’s fans can try to blame the A’s ownership, but why would an owner want to stay in Oakland? Even when they had excellent teams they never were among the leaders in attendance, and Oakland as a city has significantly deteriorated (crime, costs, traffic, etc.) and it’s certainly not a destination…
Do you work for Fisher or Manfred? Unless you live in the Bay Area I don't think you can claim to know. I worked in Oakland. Warriors left for the Big $ in San Fran, Raiders left for the $ in Vegas. It's billionaire $ games. Stop victim blaming.
Exactly. The irony of having this liar and conman on regarding this topic is hilarious. There's a reason this guy has never worked in MLB again (other than for his father-in-law Jeffrey Loria). Nor does this guy care he helped con the taxpayers and fans of Miami and paved the way for Fisher and others. Little to this guy on this topic only to know what not to do and how these cons work. He's a useful idiot. Otherwise, I can't imagine why he's on this show.

He better hope that that 350 million doesn’t come up for a vote in Las Vegas because it’s gonna be a no ain’t nobody gonna give anybody any money not tax money to billionaires. You gotta be really proud when you backdoor another city and let somebody play in a minor-league stadium for free, hurrah right
I see the Athletics future as a brand to represent all of Northern California. They even have green color in logo !!! A Vegas move would be a disaster plain and simple. There is much more money and way more baseball fans in Northern California 👈
Samson ain't right. Vivek is helping Fisher move to Vegas by giving him a sweetheart deal (did I read this right, NO RENT!) by keeping his costs down so he can use that $ for the Vegas Stadium when the locals refuse to pay for the stadium. All the owners want to be in Vegas and that gambling $.
Players are gonna love playing in front of a sold out, rabid Sac fans every night. I even see Fisher allow Dave Forst shopping money for longer term talent. Now that they’re getting out of oppressive and bippin’ Oaktown; it’s time to make new fans happy. Help solidify Vegas’ chances for a stronger and competitive team. Sa cra men to clap clap clapclapclap! Another A’s positive is that the Central Valley sports media now doesn’t have to compete with two sports radio Bay Area stations that will and have never mentioned anything A’s nor Raiders. Their only Oakland team mentioned were the Warriors. The Warriors, Niners and Giants rules Bay Area radio. Rarely any Sharks news either.
Look, guys, the A's are going to Sacramento for at least 3 years. Get over it. I hope they stay in Sacramento. Half of the A's fans base are from Sacramento anyway. I would much rather them stay in California than to move to that overpriced, craphole of a city that BETS on sports. Congratulations, Sacramento and everyone else can just get over it. It is a done deal. Deal with it.
You all need to settle down. Be upset with ownership, be upset with the commissioner. The A's coming to Sacramento is fine. I understand the guilt however the team was drawing 5000 a game which is sad. Levi stadium is almost 40 miles from San Francisco and Oakland to Sacramento is 80. So 40 miles difference and they still will be playing on the same tv channel. There not taking the Sacramento name and who knows whats going to happen over the next 4 years. So be happy and relax.
Oakland has been deteriorating for the past ten years and it has to do with it's politics . I love the A's history but they have always been treated like the Giants evil stepchild . When they won a third straight world series they had to settle for runner up to the Giants and that includes fans attendance . Fisher should be forced out of baseball like the Clippers owner a few years back but lets be real . Oakland is not a viable place for a team

Thanks for having Mr. Samson on.
The Vegas deal isn't a done deal, my bet is that the A's stay in Sacramento,, no one in Vegas wants the A's! lol

You’re on the money
The Vegas deal is a done deal!!! And it sucks!!!
I hope you are right! 🎉
Sac? Can't play at minor league park more than 3 years right
Don’t get your hopes up. John Fisher doesn’t care about fans or baseball.

Or his players
He’s shining A’s up for a sale.
Its great to see two of the best youtube shows together 😎

Sacramento deserves an NFL & MLB team. Would Vivek be an upgrade over John Fisher.
The A's were already gone. Sacramento should feel precisely zero guilt. Go A's!

Salt Lake City is much more likely for expansion because they've already thrown out proposals showing they're willing to shell out public money.

I'm a Giants fan, Sacramento Kings fan, and 49ers fan, but from Sacramento County, so having A's as a 2ndary MLB favorite team would be great.
Expansion in West - Sactown, Portland, SLC - feel if MLB were smart they would allow a team in South Bay Area and no longer accept Giants' geographical claim over that area.
I wouldn't go to San Jose for front row seats to the second coming of Christ
@@ValleyProud916 You might still feel the same way, but I was thinking more the South East Bay Area like Fremont - still capture the East Bay fans and attract South Bay fans.
Let's be fair, the A's are a 100-win team over 2 years not 3 :)
If they cannot stay in Oakland, I hope Sac. can keep them! MLB needs to step in and take the team away from the A's ownership. great show by the way guys!
Agree
Would Sacramento be better adopting the A’s long term or start over with a fresh franchise if we get a team?
100%
There's already alot of A's fans in Sacramento already and they have a history.
That's what I'm thinking, I'm in Oakland but I might be compelled to stay an A's fan as long as they are in NorCal. But definitely no longer. If they stay in Oakland for the interim I might go to some games just for my daughter to see.
Either! MLB in Sacramento is great!
I’m from sac and I’d 100% rather have the A’s than expansion team
So for the sounds of it Vivek might have killed our chances of getting a team with his big mouth. Awesome
There would've been more money for an expansion team in LV... More than Oakland or Sac. They should keep the A's in Norcal somewhere and let lv get an expansion.
Fisher Brown, Went to town, With his britches up side down!!!
Hypothetically speaking if the A's became Sacramento's team what would happen with the rivercats if anything, isnt that some kind of conflict with them being the SF giants affiliate??
Nah I don’t think so since it would be a ‘you scratch my back and I scratch yours’ situation.
Sacramento will build a stadium in Sacramento if the A's stay.
Right David
Great guest
I’m from sac and I’d 100% rather have the A’s than expansion team
If Montreal would of came here, they could of been called the Sacramento Cal-Expo's😅

It's both the city and John fischer is a bum so is kaval
Do you work for Fisher or Manfred? Unless you live in the Bay Area I don't think you can claim to know. I worked in Oakland. Warriors left for the Big $ in San Fran, Raiders left for the $ in Vegas. It's billionaire $ games. Stop victim blaming.
OMG anyone who groups Warriors, Raiders and A’s is exposing total ignorance of Bay Area and sports here.
Yes, it's the owner's fault. If a shop fails do you blame the customers for the shop failing?
How about Sac gets the A's for a couple years and Oakland gets expansion for getting SCREWED OVER BY FISHER AND MANFRED.
It’s the A’s or nothing in Oakland.
What happened to the Marlins? Your publicly funded stadium has flopped, while you did very well financially. A cautionary tale.

Fisher doesn't care about his players
Nah. Not No one. Not no one. /
Sacramento is going to save the Athletics ballclub from moving to Nevada. Just watch.
Oakland has been deteriorating for the past ten years and it has to do with it's politics . I love the A's history but they have always been treated like the Giants evil stepchild . When they won a third straight world series they had to settle for runner up to the Giants and that includes fans attendance . Fisher should be forced out of baseball like the Clippers owner a few years back but lets be real . Oakland is not a viable place for a team
As soon as I saw Samson, I stopped watching. He and Jeffrey Loria will always be universally loathed in Montreal.
A true snakeoil salesman.
Who is this mug?
Former president of the Marlins
Few people are going to care about the A's.
the queens will never get anymore of my money
Why would you expand to Oakland? It's like asking your ex-wife on a date
Because you realize that a) The timing just wasn't right (Seattle Pilots or Oakland Seals) or b) The owner was bad (Kansas City).
