Earlier today it was reported that the Oakland Athletics, frustrated that they haven’t yet been able to convince the city of Oakland to agree to their proposal for a new stadium, have now resorted to blackmail through the time-old tradition of threatening to move the team. Possible new homes have included Las Vegas, Montreal, Portland, Charlotte, and Vancouver. The news of the Athletics exploring a possible move now has the local sports media in a tizzy and every baseball fan in the Lower Mainland asking themselves, “is it possible? Could it happen? Will the Oakland Athletics move to Vancouver?”
