Another Team on the Move?

Now that the Twins and the Expos have their new ballpark financing in place, which team is next in line for Baron Budhausen’s extortion tactics?

It looks like the next beneficiary will be the A’s, who announced they broke off negotiations for an extension to their lease at the Coliseum. The AP reports that the team is looking at Fremont, and possible some locations in the South Bay (if they can get past the Giant’s territorial claim on the area).

A few years ago, I said that the winner of the Expos sweepstakes would be the first city to give the Baron a free ballpark. Is there any reason to believe that the standards will change when it comes time to decide where the A’s new home will be?
