3 years in a 10,000 seat minor league stadium in Sacramento? Is the plan to essentially hide and go dormant with minimal payroll for 3 years, be fine with losing 110 games per season, restock the farm system, and be ready to compete once the new stadium in Oakland is ready?

Not sure how this makes sense. Evidently they couldn't come up with any better options.

Edit to add: Just checked and they have zero payroll obligations beyond this year. 2025 payroll obligations linked. Already just barely over half the payroll of the next team (Pirates) for 2024.

Farm system ranked 25th to 30th depending on who is evaluating. 1 top 100 prospect (64th) per mlb.

Yikes. I should have written 120 losses per season.
