At least one former Oakland A’s player was unimpressed with how MLB commissioner Rob Manfred is handling the team’s current relocation drama.
Brandon McCarthy, whose 13-year MLB career included two years with the A’s from 2011-12, fired off a tweet concerning Manfred’s recent comments– in which he called the Oakland crowd “almost an average Major League Baseball crowd.”
“This is f–king pathetic,” McCarthy tweeted. “How is this not disqualifying? This toad is the steward of a glorious sport, dripping with history and he feels entitled to mock fans who are making their voices heard as he sits by and caters to hiding billionaires? Why do we accept this in our culture?”
Amid a 19-52 season in Oakland – which looked even worse before a recent seven-game win streak – attendance has crumbled at the Oakland Coliseum, with only an average of around 9,000 fans attending an average game. Fans have become fed up with the team’s low spending and their plans to relocate the team to Las Vegas, with the team recently getting $380 million of public funding to build a new stadium on the Strip.
