STADIUM FINANCING?: Why Is Fisher Selling the Earthquakes?

 

The episode opens with a hard look at the Nevada money maze and the question fans keep whispering: Is everything actually okay with the Las Vegas stadium financing? When a billionaire suddenly unloads his MLS franchise like it’s last season’s inventory, people notice—and John Fisher parting with the Earthquakes sends up every flare on the Strip. We dig into why an owner chasing a “new era” of baseball in Vegas would cash out of another sports property now, what that signals about liquidity, risk, and priorities, and how it ties back into the stadium’s fragile funding structure. If the ballpark is a castle, the financing is the sand—and today, we kick hard at that foundation to see what moves. 

Then the show pivots to the quieter, but still telling, baseball note of the day: the Osvaldo Bido era is officially done, with the Braves scooping him up and leaving the A’s to shrug and move on. It’s a reminder of the churn, the inconsistency, and the constant push-pull between development and patience inside this franchise. We wrap with a rapid-fire tour through your questions and comments—everything from skepticism about ownership decisions to theories on roster moves to pure, unfiltered A’s-fan energy. The audience shows up swinging, and we take every pitch, high and tight, because that’s what this show is built on: transparency, honesty, and telling it like it is, even when it stings.
