Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao on Thursday said news of the Athletics signing a bindin
g purchase agreement for a potential ballpark site in Las Vegas is "extremely di
sappointing."
"The city of Oakland has for years worked to come to an agreement to keep the A'
s rooted here in the city of Oakland," Thao said. "On many occasions, we were ab
le to overcome seemingly insurmountable barriers and we showed our commitment to
the team and its fans over and over again."
"I want to be very clear, this announcement happened mid-negotiations, and it sh
ows that they had no interest in reaching a deal with Oakland at all," Thao cont
inued. "Oakland is not interested in being used as leverage in the A's negotiati
ons with Las Vegas. It is disrespectful to our residents and our fans to string
the city along this way. We will not continue discussions under these circumstan
ces and will instead work for a development deal that actually creates opportuni
ties for Oaklanders and includes partners that are committed to the success of o
ur city, our communities, our residents and our businesses."
