The relocation threat is beyond the pale. Whatever the sober realities of keeping the ballpark in good repair, the threat fully disqualifies Manfred and MLB as any kind of good faith partners. I fully agree with Matthew. This is a shakedown. Manfred is using the Oakland fiasco to extort money from governments. Call his bluff, and live with the outcome. I would much rather see the Brewers move to Charlotte or Sydney or wherever than negotiate with hostage-takers.
