I stayed a fan, but its been tough. Early 2000s was hopeful, but I have given up now. Don’t follow them at all.
I really can’t believe MLB is letting this happen to a franchise like the As. They are fairly storied franchise for the West Coast. All to play ball in 130F day in July indoors.

Never liked them since I've always been a Seattle fan. But for the owner to use a baseball team as a pawn for a real estate deal is horrible for the fans who love the team.
If you want to pay $12 billion to develop an area, have at it. But if you have only $2 billion and try to use a ballclub to coerce the city/state/province into paying for something, it's shady to me.
