Wolff running out of time -- and options
posted by: Baseball Oakland
(January 22 2012)Kudos to The Oakland Tribune for covering the elephant in the room -- the upcoming Coliseum lease deadline. The A's current lease is good until the end of 2013. What happens after that is fair game. This is where things get interesting, and Lew Wolff's statements about the A's having no future in Oakland could come back to haunt him.

The Oakland Tribune's Monte Poole wrote a scathing column that offered the harshest criticism yet of Beane and A's owners. Poole wrote:The con is kaput, the game over.
