Solid points regarding the A's. We kept hearing that the Oakland and Tampa Bay stadium issues had to be resolved before expansion. I figure the owners want that huge windfall and thus simply want resolution/removal of those two rocks in their shoes. Well balanced look at the deadline issue, as well. The uni ads disparity fits neatly with David Samson's comments that an MLB-imposed non-field staff and resources limitation is necessary (such as analytics departments). You are so right that his year's fizzles by the Mets, Padres, and Yankees (so far, anyway) might make us happy and open up WC spots, but they'll spend again next year and we can't match it.
