If the Giants don't loosen up on their turf rights, MLB might buy the club, get a new stadium deal, and turn around and sell it off again.
Is SJ that much closer to SF than Oakland? Maybe I dont understand the dynamics of the Bay Area. Though Oakland and SF were right across the bay from each other, and SJ was a bit further north. Wouldnt Oakland moving to SJ cause more Oakland area peeps to go into the SF zone?
