ESPN's Tim Keown reported, according to a document obtained by the network and KGO in San Francisco, that the city of Oakland will present A's ownership with an offer to extend the team's Coliseum lease past the 2024 MLB season. According to the document, the offer is for five years with an opt-out after the third year, and requires the A's to pay a $97 million "extension fee," which will be owed by the team even if the opt-out is exercised, and reportedly will pay off the $170 million structural deficit at the Coliseum.
