This sports owner cannot name his own players

John Fisher is back at it again and was in public for almost a whole hour as he announced the official move of the A's to Sacramento. IS this a good move? GUESS.
Also, wristbandgate is flying arountd the internet and a team memo was acquired. Yes, we're talking about the Oakland A's AGAIN!

“John Fisher will do whatever is slightly below the minimum” wow that is hilarious and incredibly accurate.

[@WMusick]

all manfred's fault for letting this happen.

[@previnsnaidu1]

MLB has failed the A’s. Hate what fisher has done to my once great franchise

[@chrisw.p5665]

As a Montreal Expos fan, I feel your pain and am rooting for you guys to somehow find a way to keep the A's

[@CubeInspector]

At least they actually pulled the trigger. The Ray's ownership floated the idea of doing half the season here and half in Montreal and everyone stopped going to games altogether 😂 You know there's something wrong when a flirida baseball team can't sell tickets despite being a generally good team and the hickey team has been selling out for a decade. He's even more mad because no one wanted the municipal governments to give him a tax break to build a stadium

[@timphares3061]

Boycott Ranadive.

[@MrSpeedracer510]

Thank you, Trevor May for speaking out about Fisher and his group of clowns 🤡

[@CJsbro1]

Like they watched the movie Major League and thought it'd be fun to do in real life. How evil for no reason

[@nickweber1388]

that was always my thought lmao. the other baseball movie worked, why not major league 😂

[@joshuaseward7545]

Being an Oakland A's fan sucks rn. I have so many memories at the Coliseum (despite it desperately needing to be updated/replaced). The hardcore fans love this team more than anything despite the constant roster changes the past 20 years and now they are being treated like trash and blamed for something they have little to no control over. Ive been wanting to get my own Kelly Green jersey for months now (I just graduated college and want to get something cool for myself) but with all the ownership/dave kaval being generally shitty towards the fans I don't want to support that. On the other hand, I've been a fan my whole life, so going to ebay and finding marked up jerseys just feels wrong. Plus the new jerseys are hot garbage. TLDR; FJF

[@zinnbeck9319]

I have no doubt that at some point half the managers have called down to the bullpen and said “warm John Doe up” only to hear “um he is not with the team right now”

[@Boltman47]

Glad to see you having fun with and putting the new green screen to such good use. Bravo good sir, bravo.

[@doctornope]

Best part of moving to Vegas is that expansion teams do great (Golden Knights, Aces) there while relocation teams are garbage (Raiders). Good to see that streak will continue!

[@Gocubsgoxp2zf]

Lol

[@austincosman2907]

Glad to see someone else understands this too, Vegas doesn’t care about teams unless they start there

[@soapsatellite]

I mean, if I was a fan living there, I wouldn't want Oakland's (or any city's) sloppy seconds

[@workingclassrunner]

I do see and agree with your point in principle... but it's worth noting the WNBA Aces were formerly the San Antonio Silver Stars.

[@virginiac7810]

This HURTS-HURTS-HURTS!! I’ve been an A’s fan for 50 years. I grew up watching A’s games at the Coliseum. Then I drove 400 miles one-way from LA just to attend A’s games after moving and living there for over 20 years. I raised my kids to be A’s fans, despite living in LA. My oldest was proposed to on the field at the Coliseum. Fast forward to 2019, we moved to West Sacramento to be closer to the grandkids. I drive by Sutter Health Field on my way to work every weekday and now it’s like salt in the wound on a daily basis. So, right now, I’m a super, super NOT HAPPY person.

[@grumpyrock]

Trevor is having wayyyyy too much fun with that new green screen. I love it

[@jackyukon2243]

Sour cream donuts? Actually pretty good. I read an article that said that the field will be used practically every day of the season. Can you imagine what shape it will be in at the end of the year.

[@TrevorMayBaseball]

Didn’t even think about that 🤦

[@newyorkerinvegas]

I HATE YOU TREVOR MAY! I hate you for reminding me of my corporate job just as the week ended! 😂 Love your channel!

[@nicksullivan8782]

The rest of the league: we don't want to sign Trevor Bauer because of his history and baggage The A's: we don't want to sign him because he might win us games

[@OxidizeTunes]

[@TrevorMayBaseball]

It’s all in your head

[@thedude3065]

"I can't wait to see my underpaid roster get demolished by other teams"

[@Azeria]

The Athletics inspired Aaron Sorkin to write the line “How can you not be romantic about baseball?”, but they have an owner that isn’t romantic about it in the slightest.

[@BrokenGoldfishFilms]

This is an absolute disgrace and embarrassment to the game of baseball not just from Oakland ownership but from the MLB Commissioner in its lack of effort in the situation. Even as someone who lives on the opposite coast and no relation to Oakland this makes me ashamed to even watch Major League Baseball… what a scam

[@Flushot22]

As a lifelong Oakland A's fan who lives in Sacramento. How the hell am I supposed to feel about this? I would love for Sacramento to get a permanent baseball team (Preferably and expansion team). But I love the Oakland A's and my greatest wish is for them to stay in Oakland where they belong. Do I go to the games for the team that I love that is now in my backyard? Do I protest and stay away for the sake of the city of Oakland? Do I hate this because it gives Vegas an opportunity to get their ducks in a line for the move? Do I like this because it allows time for Oakland to to do the same? HELP!!!!! Sincerely, Confused in Sactown.

[@Waldo2929]

This is me exactly as well!! I'm with you.

[@user-mw5vd2bi6w]

My feelings exactly!

[@laurenvieira1223]

This is so incredibly JUICY, Trevor. That beginning was a whirlwind. "The void" was glorious. You do all your own video editing too right? Maybe I made that part up. Good video antics like always!!

[@The12thswampcat]

This is actually way more entertaining that the other baseball talk shows/podcasts/news where its just baseball heads sitting and chatting!

[@vulgarwoodworks]

I drove from Spokane to Oakland for Opening Weekend to finish off my personal grieving, and I gotta say it was f%cking depressing. The Coliseum was empty, the vendors closed, the parking lot barren, I mean hell the deep fried cheeseburger stand in right field was gone. Sports fans love to trash Oakland and A's fans for the state of the club, but true baseball fans know that Fisher is the worst owner in pro sports and degrades the game of baseball every day he remains in control of a franchise with a rich history. Hopefully Sacramento won't get proper F'd like Oakland. Vegas you'll learn quickly that your nice new shiny stadium won't bring you joy, nor a winning season until Fisher is gone

[@brycelynds3768]

My only thoughts are thanks for sticking up for us T May. This is why you're never paying for drinks in Oakland again. We love you out here big dog!

[@TheTEN24]

Really enjoying the content Trev. Appreciate you calling out the As because I feel awful for their fans.

[@gaylerobinson1322]

Trevor, my wife and I were just talking about this yesterday. As a A’s fan since I was kid( I’m 58 now) I’ve supported the good and BAD teams. This has been the hardest couple of years. Here’s our question, are you a “true fan” of this team if you choose to not follow them? My heart can only be broken so many times. Love your insights to a game I truly love. By the way where can I get one of those sweet hats? Size 7 and 3/8.

[@P31B]

I know I’m not Trevor, but I’ve stopped supporting the organization, while every once in a while rooting the team on during the games. Old habits die hard I guess. I just can’t give the team any more of my money knowing it is going to billionaires who never cared about us, and have even disrespected us to turn us off. So I’ll cheer on the players from afar for at least this last season

[@larrystaley21]

Yep, but he can mention Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees!!

[@dagonz2597]

Trevor May! You’re the man!!

[@trademark23]

Brilliant channel, thank you sir.

[@skaz777]

If the A’s owner’s suite contains sour cream donuts, you nay need an XXL denim jacket to smuggle them out. If you’re wearing a yellow wristband to go with that lemon glaze and are seen by the owner, you may need the denim jacket to protect yourself from getting pelted by sour cream donuts. At least that’s what the memo from above said. Either way we’re sure you’ll make the adjustment and be back here at 6am. Great video!

[@foramoreperfectamerica8490]

I watched Secret Base's docuseries on the Minnesota Vikings. Coach Jerry Burns couldn't remember guys names, so he just called them all Big Nuts. However, Vikings players really liked him despite that.

[@paulhanson7263]

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been in Oakland Athletics fan since 1971 when I went to my first game watching Vida blue pitch. The memories I have of the different eras are unforgettable; your video makes me realize her many others who feel as angry as I do and as sad as I do that this wonderful historic franchises is leaving

[@aaronrose5418]

Man this platooning section really hit hard for me because my Tigers are doing it right now with a young squad and its driving me crazy

[@TommyD1213]

For a guy who was signed to the A’s, I’m impressed you still have a sense of humor. Was their plan before your injury to trade you at the deadline for prospects? Do they tell you this when they sign them? I’m just curious since we never got to see it pan out.

[@chimpinaneckbrace]

Does their “new” park have possums?

[@craftthemusic]

Bro, 6:41 what is that shadow? Look like a giant's hand doing something... suspicious

[@striderhanzo]

Greatest 2 minute start ever. Give a green screen to a man who loves baseball but hates management, this is what we get. Fantastic. 👏👏👏

[@striderhanzo]

After watching the full video, I can barely name 3 players on the team and i've been a fan since i was born. I turn 40 in May 2024. I'm no longer going to be a fan after this season. Albeit, we as fans know its not the players fault, they made the team and will work since its a paycheck and realizing their dream to be in the Majors. But at the end of the day, the level of pettiness a billionaire can have with the common fan is absurd. I believe Kaval is a victim in this too. His energy has been stolen from him and being held hostage. He is too afraid to leave and he is too scared to speak up. To say he is being paid alot of money to be the fall guy is an understatement. To even brag about being top 10 in payroll as he has in previously years with a new stadium, its another laughable situation as a whole. Based on spotrac, for 2024. Athletics payroll is $47.2 million - a little under 30 million less than the next team ahead of them, the pirates. To crack the top 10 - they would have to increase payroll, 141 million. If they could do that, they should have been doing that all along. So for those who like commas like I do. $47,275,000 - 2024 athletics payroll (Last - 30th) $72,014,000 - 2024 pirates payroll (29th) $187,979,909 - 2024 Giants Payroll (10th) +$140,725,000 - The amount of money Athletics would have to add to be in 10th place. And to add one more in there, +$70,000,000 - California Sports Net TV Rights Deal to the Athletics. Guess that explains why the team has shown profit (save 2020) every year for the last 20+ years. A billion-dollar franchise with over 100 years of history, ran like a corner store on 45th street in oakland. At least the corner store has Tahitian treat.

[@markalvarez1571]

I’m a 22 year Oakland A’s fan. I ran the bases as a kid and was a season ticket holder during 2 separate years. To be honest they’re dead to me in 10 years when none of the players on the team have played in Oakland I will be completely disconnected from the team.

[@yeah700]

Trevor’s like the baseball version of Cody Ko

[@mattmay6348]

We need a take on these closers this year. I just watched 4 guys walked in the ninth for a walkoff walk in the Brewers vs Mariners. You’re a Mariner fan, you likely watched. What is happening. LeClerc with the Rangers is a great guy to bring in if you want to guarantee the winning run will be brought to the plate. 8 run lead, no worries, he will give up 4 and load the bases. Maybe it is early season rustiness, but honestly I just feel like we have a shortage of good closers. I think it is time to suit up, the league needs your arm.

[@DrunkRapturE]

Where do we get one of those hats though?

[@rappcu]

I wonder how fans in Kansas City and Philadelphia felt when the franchise left those cities. Having lived in South Florida and watching the Marlins for nearly 20 years I’m of the opinion that the revenue sharing system attracts ownership groups in small markets that are happy to milk the system and survive on corporate welfare while keeping their expenses down. Fans deserve better than gapping for a .500 record each season.

[@TVResults]

Spot on. Same boat for the Pirates. Really hurts year in and year out. Fans know what is going on and nothing is done about it.

The RSN's are Comcast Sports Bay Area and Comcast Sports California. CSN Bay Area gets Giants and Warriors in the Bay, while CSN California carries the A's and Kings (which are blacked out in the Bay).

The thing I’m most shocked about in all this is Sacramento is north of SF/OAK!? My mental image of the CA cities placed SF/OAK more north, Sacramento in the middle and east, LA just below them but on the coast, and SD more north than it is compared to the border. Wow.

[@robertcrist124]

Any meanies out there that want to be mean, if you’ve ever said Kansas City is in Kansas, you’re not wrong but you also aren’t fully correct because it’s in Missouri too, literally on the other side of State Line Rd. so why don’t you look at a map sometime.

[@seanwinter4784]

Sour Cream Donuts. Good video. This is an excellent overview of how baseball is, and always be, a business first, and a sport second. The idea that tanking isn't allowed in baseball is hilarious - half the teams do it all the time as soon as they realise they aren't in the hunt for playoffs they sell off their best players. I feel really sorry for the Oakland fans

[@glucosaminecondroitan9135]

I was wondering what Donruss baseball cards will have on them for the Athletics if they aren't known as Oakland anymore. Donruss always has "Oakland baseball club" on cards.

Thanks man. It does hurt. I was a pitcher, had TJ surgery, and I now wish I didn’t have this scar to remind me of this sport. I played because of my love of the A’s, only games my family could afford. Became a die hard. Now, I really can’t enjoy the game anymore. It’s actually dead to me. It’s just nice to have someone show empathy towards us. Summer is looking a lot more bleak for me. Anyway, loved seeing you in the reverse boycott game. My last good memory of this team.

[@rapalbumdepot7648]

Brilliant video

[@toonces4x]

Amazing how John Fisher has three big sources of income (Gap, SJ Earthquakes, A's) and he still pretends he's poor. I still have major doubts that he forks out over a billion for a new stadium and then continue to invest in the team as a high payroll team. (He made the same promise with the Quakes after all). The Vegas crowd is actually expecting this to happen but anyone who's been paying attention knows this isn't happening. At this point, gotta see it to believe it but all signs are pointing towards John Fisher continuing his cheap antics

Sacramento isn't part of the Bay Area. It's a separate metro area and a separate media market (3rd-largest in California in both cases, so actually a bigger market than the Padres have). It'd be hilarious if they just ended up staying there because Vegas and SLC both got tired of Fisher's shit.
