It is being reported that the A's will play in Sacramento's Sutter Health Park in 2025-27, w an option for a 4th season in case their new permanent stadium is ready by 2028. This deal supposedly will allow them to retain some part of their local broadcasting revenue. This park supposedly has a capacity of only about 14,000 (?!), which includes the lawn seats beyond the outfield. Really small capacity but w the lack of fan interest in seeing the A's might still very seldom, if ever, sell out.
Edit; Someone mentioned that the MLBPA will have to approve playing in this stadium if it is not up to MLB standards, which it almost certainly isnt. I dont know how many modifications/improvements would have to happen to get it up to standards.Last edited by rhd; 04-04-2024, 11:19 AM.

I heard that this was not performance-related but because he wore a symbol on his armband indicating his support for a group that wants to keep the A's in Oakland. He did well in the 3 regular season games he played and his stats were not particularly bad in ST.

Conspiracy theory. Manager Mark Kotsay has also worn the same wristband during games.

Hopefully, he can improve on these things and earn a promotion back to the big league club."
