Adam Copeland is joined by Athletic A's writer Steve Berman to talk about Bob Melvin leaving to go manage the Padres and the latest on the proposed stadium voting. In a surprise move a day after the Alameda County board voted to go thru with proposed new stadium plans, A's manager Bob Melvin has left the team to become the new manager of the Padres. Steve thinks Bob saw this as writing on the wall with some of the A's top players due a lot of money in the next few seasons. There could be more trades and moves to lower the team's salary more this offseason. They talk about who could be the best option to be the new manager. And Steve gives us the latest on the supervisor voting last week and if it actually pushed the stadium plans any closer to becoming a reality.
