Oakland A's Deny B's Request to Host Game at Coliseum

The Oakland A's have blocked the minor league Oakland B's from playing a game at the Oakland Coliseum, citing exclusive rights to the venue for professional baseball. The B's had planned a nostalgic event to celebrate Oakland's baseball legacy, with a signed contract and deposit already in place. The A's, approved for relocation to Las Vegas with plans to move by 2028, enforced a clause preventing other professional teams from using the Coliseum. Despite the setback, the B's and local fans remain committed to keeping baseball alive in Oakland, with plans for a Fan Fest and a boycott of the A's season opener to demonstrate their passion for the sport.
