San Jose To File Suit Against MLB For Blocking A's Move 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jun 18, 2013 5:59 pm

The city council of San Jose has voted to file a lawsuit against Major League Baseball for refusing to allow the Oakland A's to relocate.


The city's complaint is that MLB has unlawfully conspired to limit competition by controlling the location of teams.


The A's want to build a stadium in San Jose, but the San Francisco Giants claim territorial rights to the area and the MLB has backed that claim to date.
