While the battle between Oakland City Council and the A’s over the team’s proposed new stadium took the spotlight this week, city leaders also moved closer to determining the fate of the Coliseum site that the team plans to leave.
Council directed staff Tuesday to pursue dual track negotiations with two Black developer groups for the city’s share of the Coliseum in a bid to advance a new vision for the current ballpark site though one of them has a clear advantage.

While the Oakland City Council voted Tuesday to move forward on its proposed waterfront ballpark, the Oakland Athletics aren t the least bit sold on the project.
The Athletics announced on May 11 that they would look into relocating the team and that seems to still be the case after team president Dave Kaval said the city s proposal is not an effective path forward.
Kaval s sentiment didn t prevent the city council from voting 6-1 in favor of its non-binding term sheet on the project.
The trio of Oakland mayor Libby Schaaf, City Council president Nikki Fortunato Bas and vice mayor Rebecca Kaplan termed the vote as a milestone in our mission to keep the A s rooted in Oakland and build a world-class waterfront ballpark district that will benefit the community for generations to come.

OAKLAND, Calif. Matt Olson homered for the second straight game, James Kaprielian tossed six scoreless innings and the Oakland Athletics beat the Los Angeles Angels 6-0 on Tuesday to sweep a two-game series.
Kaprielian (5-3) scattered five hits and two walks, striking out seven. The rookie right-hander lowered his ERA to 2.65. I think we did a good job of staying in attack mode, Kaprielian said. I believe in the guys who are behind me, I believe in the guy who s behind the dish and I believe in my stuff. So, for me, it s about executing pitches.
