A’s fans were furious after John Fisher released a tone-deaf letter ahead of the final series in Oakland

Some letters don’t need to be written.

Few fan bases in baseball have needed to endure a tumultuous ownership situation quite like A’s fans after what John Fisher has put Oakland through. Between the lack of investment in the on-field product, a stadium in disrepair and the constant threat of relocation, Fisher is almost certainly the last person any A’s fan would want to hear from.

But, of course, Fisher can’t help himself.

Tuesday’s series between the A’s and Rangers will mark the end of an era for Major League Baseball and its fans in Oakland. At the conclusion of Thursday’s game, the A’s will officially be done at Oakland Coliseum before relocating temporarily to Sacramento. Fisher hopes to move into a new Las Vegas stadium in 2028, but even that construction has yet to start.

On the eve of the team’s final series in Oakland, Fisher released a lengthy letter.

He thanked the fans and employees. He tried to explain away the move. But really, the entire letter was unnecessary from a figure A’s fans wanted nothing to do with.

The letter did not go over well at all.
