In this episode of Locked On A's, host Bunni dives into the latest rumors surrounding the Oakland A’s ownership and possible relocation, focusing on a potential takeover by Joe Lacob and Vivek Ranadive. Bunni breaks down John Fisher’s financial situation, including the complexities of debt and equity financing, and argues why a Las Vegas move may be unlikely despite national speculation. He also explores the possibility of the A’s finding a new home in Sacramento, backed by a Lacob-Ranadive ownership team, which would bring local passion and a long-term vision to the team.

Bunni gives listeners insight into Lacob’s enduring interest in owning a baseball team, particularly in Northern California, and Ranadive’s established commitment to Sacramento. With a focus on what this means for the A’s and their fans, he examines why Sacramento might just be the right fit for a fresh start. Finally, Bunni discusses how MLB might benefit from this partnership, especially given the A’s struggles with unstable ownership and frustrated fans.
