Grow says the law is not on San Jose’s side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve got not only three Supreme Court decisions that are binding precedents, but the 9th Circuit has their own binding precedent from the 1970s, saying that this very same issue, relocation of franchises, is covered by baseball’s antitrust exemption. San Jose has to get out of that and come up with some way to convince the judges on the 9th Circuit to ignore all that and rule in their favor. Whereas Major League Baseball’s case is much cleaner. All they have to do is say, ‘Look, this is what the law is, this is how it applies’ — there really isn’t a lot of discretion for the appellate court to exercise its judgment here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grow says the last time that Major League Baseball’s antitrust exemption came before the Supreme Court was in the 1970s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And there the Supreme Court said, ‘You know, Congress has known about this for 50 years at this point. They’ve thought about acting, they’ve never acted, so it’s not our place to touch it now. That would be unfair to Major League Baseball to reverse this protection that they’ve been relying on for five decades.’ And I think if this case were to get to the Supreme Court level, that’d be the argument — 40 years later, is it even less fair to MLB to act, or is Congress being so negligent that it’s time for the court to step in?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grow rates San Jose’s chances of succeeding at the 9th Circuit at less than 10 percent, and he thinks the high court would probably decline to hear an appeal:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But if the Supreme Court does take the case, then I think that’s a really bad sign for Major League Baseball. I don’t see the court wading into this highly contentious, controversial issue for a fourth time only to issue what is sure to be a highly criticized opinion affirming baseball’s antitrust exemption. So, if the Supreme Court agrees to take the case, San Jose would likely win one way or another, either through a settlement or a judicial decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Grow if San Jose’s argument — that the A’s want to move, and only MLB’s intransigence is stopping them — was damaged when the A’s owners \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/08/06/Coliseum-board-approves-10-year-deal-with-oakland-athletics/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">signed a 10-year lease extension at the Oakland Coliseum last week\u003c/a> and said they’re talking with architects and \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_26287681/approach-architect-oakland-ballpark\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">looking at sites for a new ballpark in Oakland\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it certainly doesn’t help, in part because it casts doubt on San Jose’s standing to bring a suit — since they can’t claim damages for losing a baseball team that they might have never had:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the past, courts have often said unless a team is 100 percent contractually committed to moving, there is no case yet. And that would be the worst possible outcome for San Jose — for the 9th Circuit to rule that there’s no standing here. If the 9th Circuit affirms the dismissal on ‘no standing’ grounds, there’s very, very, very little chance the Supreme Court would review that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given that the court won’t be ruling for a few months, I asked Grow what clues might we get from the oral arguments?

But if you started to get the sense that at least two of the three judges are willing to disregard precedent — or if they start to suggest the precedents are so outdated that it isn’t binding any more — that’s the type of language that might get San Jose a victory here. It’s much more likely, though, that the judges are critical of San Jose’s case, and that indicates they’re likely to rule for Major League Baseball.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

That's what the A's and Major League Baseball just did to Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With approval of his new Coliseum lease in limbo, A's co-owner Lew Wolff ran to commissioner Bud Selig for permission to talk tough. Wolff came back and threatened to leave -- immediately -- if the lease agreement wasn't approved by the Oakland-Alameda County Joint Powers Authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the JPA approved it by a 6-2 vote. Got stuck up with a water gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All eight members of the JPA should have called Wolff's bluff and voted down the lease agreement. They should've told Lew Wolff goodbye in a hundred ways....\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 10-year lease still isn't official. The Oakland City Council still needs to vote on it.

Once an agreement is reached between two sides, it can't be grabbed by a third party for a do-over....\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an e-mail sent late Wednesday, team owner \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea%2Fjohnson&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Lew+Wolff%22\">Lew Wolff\u003c/a> laid it out to Oakland leaders in plain and simple language that any idiot could understand. It said, in essence, if Oakland City Hall balks on the lease deal that the A's had worked out with the board that runs O.co Coliseum, the A's had the MLB's authorization to catch the next plane out of town. Now that's hardball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You'd think Oakland got the message. No such luck.

But A's ownership, led by partner Lew Wolff, said before the vote that the time for negotiations is over and warned Wednesday night that the team had won approval from Major League Baseball to immediately begin the process of moving out of the Coliseum if the board failed to approved the new lease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://newballpark.org/2014/07/02/summary-of-2014-coliseum-lease-agreement/#more-11448\" target=\"_blank\">The agreement — published on Newballpark.org\u003c/a> — involves a quid pro quo that calls on the city to forgive $5 million in parking taxes owed by the A's and a reduction in the team's annual lease payments. The deal also allows the A's to leave the Coliseum after the 2018 season. In return, the A's would agree to buy a $10 million scoreboard for the stadium and would pay into a fund to fix long-standing maintenance problems like sewer overflows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/157214086?secret_token=s-56fVZ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board consists of four members appointed by Alameda County and four appointed by Oakland.

From the Bay Area News Group's \u003ca href=\"http://www.insidebayarea.com/marcus-thompson/ci_26087648/thompson-bullied-oakland-empty-threat\" target=\"_blank\">Marcus Thompson II\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp class=\"bodytextragright\">The only thing worse than being bullied is being bullied by an empty threat. That's what the A's and Major League Baseball just did to Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With approval of his new Coliseum lease in limbo, A's co-owner Lew Wolff ran to commissioner Bud Selig for permission to talk tough. Wolff came back and threatened to leave -- immediately -- if the lease agreement wasn't approved by the Oakland-Alameda County Joint Powers Authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the JPA approved it by a 6-2 vote. Got stuck up with a water gun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All eight members of the JPA should have called Wolff's bluff and voted down the lease agreement. They should've told Lew Wolff goodbye in a hundred ways....\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 10-year lease still isn't official. The Oakland City Council still needs to vote on it. And those folks should vote it down on principle.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And from the Chronicle's \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/johnson/article/Oakland-leaders-bungling-with-A-s-a-predictable-5599511.php\" target=\"_blank\">Chip Johnson\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The kings of chaos have struck again, and this time their antics almost cost Oakland its beloved baseball team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland's city leaders apparently aren't well versed in the art of the business deal. Once an agreement is reached between two sides, it can't be grabbed by a third party for a do-over....\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an e-mail sent late Wednesday, team owner \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea%2Fjohnson&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Lew+Wolff%22\">Lew Wolff\u003c/a> laid it out to Oakland leaders in plain and simple language that any idiot could understand. It said, in essence, if Oakland City Hall balks on the lease deal that the A's had worked out with the board that runs O.co Coliseum, the A's had the MLB's authorization to catch the next plane out of town. Now that's hardball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You'd think Oakland got the message. No such luck. By Thursday evening, only hours after the deal was approved by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea%2Fjohnson&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Coliseum+board%22\">Coliseum board\u003c/a>, city officials were at it again: \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea%2Fjohnson&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Oakland+Mayor+Jean+Quan+and+Council%22\">Oakland Mayor Jean Quan and Council\u003c/a> President \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=bayarea%2Fjohnson&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Pat+Kernighan%22\">Pat Kernighan\u003c/a> issued a joint statement urging the team and the MLB to come back to the negotiating table to address the city's \"economic and legal concerns.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Stay tuned. But first have some barbecue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Original post\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Authority voted 6-2 on Thursday to approve a 10-year lease extension for the Oakland A's despite a sharp dispute over the deal between city leaders and the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City officials have said the deal gives too much to the A's and that they want to continue talks. But A's ownership, led by partner Lew Wolff, said before the vote that the time for negotiations is over and warned Wednesday night that the team had won approval from Major League Baseball to immediately begin the process of moving out of the Coliseum if the board failed to approved the new lease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://newballpark.org/2014/07/02/summary-of-2014-coliseum-lease-agreement/#more-11448\" target=\"_blank\">The agreement — published on Newballpark.org\u003c/a> — involves a quid pro quo that calls on the city to forgive $5 million in parking taxes owed by the A's and a reduction in the team's annual lease payments. The deal also allows the A's to leave the Coliseum after the 2018 season. In return, the A's would agree to buy a $10 million scoreboard for the stadium and would pay into a fund to fix long-standing maintenance problems like sewer overflows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='undefined' height='undefined'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/157214086?secret_token=s-56fVZ&visual=true&undefined'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/157214086?secret_token=s-56fVZ'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board consists of four members appointed by Alameda County and four appointed by Oakland.
