Portland or vegas.

If San Jose was truly an option, it would have already been allowed to happen. This issue has been sitting stagnant for many years. MLB and Bud Selig are unwilling to allow it to happen. MLB ownership groups are unlikely to vote in favor of the move, for fear that it may set a precedent and put their home territory at risk in similar situations.
The city of Oakland continues to pursue options to keep the A’s in Oakland. It has been their home for decades, and there is a rich history of support for the team before the Wolff regime decided to choke all the life out of the franchise.
I’m a fan and I live in Oakland. I want to see my team stay here where I have been watching them all of my life. Moving to San Jose would be the best of the worsts results.
Options still exist to keep the team in the city of Oakland.
Keep the A’s in Oakland.

Vancouver is the place to be.

+1. Oakland is less than a minor league city at this point and it looks like the baby Giants will win out on SJ. Might as well go to Canada.

How is Oakland “less than a minor league city”?

-1 @Iconoclast. If you’ve been to Oakland recently, you wouldn’t say that. The city has definitely had somewhat of a renaissance over the past decade and many neighborhoods that were once on the outside looking in are traveled to by people all over the Bay – many of them coming for the amazing food (I.E. Uptown, Koreatown, Temescal, Dimond, Laurel, Old Oakland, and Fruitvale). Don’t do a disservice to the city of Oakland just because you don’t know much about it.
And the city of Oakland has already spent over $1 million dollars getting everything ready for the possibility of a new ballpark in Jack London Square. If A’s owner Lew Wolff wasn’t such a (bleeping bleep) at worst, he’s at best, the worst MLB owner. If he changes his mind and decides JLS is the perfect place to house a gorgeous stadium, the Oakland A’s will have a spot that will undoubtedly rival SF’s AT&T Park spot (JLS is already better than that whole area).
Keep the A’s in Oakland.

Let Oakland and the Dodgers go join the Nippon baseball league. They are not even trying to put an MLB quality team on the field.
