March 21, 2010
PHOENIX (AP)—Baseball commissioner Bud Selig met with Oakland Athleticsofficials on Sunday in regard to a new stadium but said there is no timetable onwhen a committee he formed to study the issue will put forth a recommendation onhow to proceed.
“There is no question that the A’s cannot compete (financially) in thevenue they’re in,” Selig said, referring to the team’s longtime home, theOakland-Alameda County Coliseum.
Selig met with San Francisco Giants officials a week ago to discussterritorial rights. The Athletics have considered a move to San Jose, amongother Bay area locations. The Giants currently have a Class A team in San Jose.
“There still is information we are looking for. It is a complicated processwith a lot of complex issues and is time-consuming,” Selig said. “But we wouldstill like to move as expeditiously as possible.”
