Beane extension suggests San Jose move

The A's deserve something good in their horizon. This is the most beat up team in the majors.

Isn't San Jose traditional Giants fans territory?

Yes it is but it shouldn't be a problem. Most fans in San Jose aren't interested in money ball...they like a chance at winning so they'll be watching the Giants.

A's granted Giants territorial rights to current Giants owners when the Giants were flirting with Tampa. The reality is that the Giants want to get paid to give up what the A's gave to them. At the end of this story, the A's will be in San Jose and the Giants will have paid down their stadium debt by X number of million dollars. The only thing remaining is determining the value of X.

........oakland should move to mexico city or san antone and forget about cali.....

X=0

So let's see if I've got the gist of this article. A long-term extension for Billy Beane is a harbinger of the A's moving to San Jose. Or maybe not. It is appropriate that 'news' like this comes out at this time of the year because, with just a couple of subtle changes, this piece could easily indicate that the A's are moving if Beane comes out of his office and sees his shadow.

Born and raised in San Jose. Grew up an A's/Raiders fan in the 70's as a reaction to my father who was a Giants/Niner fan. Now I live in Denver. You have a problem with that???

Here it is!

maybe the A's should be moved to hawai perhaps nobody will be complaining about the terretory at all!!

Seems to me that if the A's get SJ then the Giants get most of the East Bay...at least Alameda and Contra Costa counties.
