SAN JOSE — Five of San Jose’s mayors sent Major League Baseball Commissioner R
ob Manfred a letter last week, asking MLB to permanently suspend territorial rig
hts and create an avenue for the city to get an expansion team.
In a letter dated June 15 and obtained by this news organization Friday night, c
urrent San Jose mayor Matt Mahan and four former mayors — Sam Liccardo, Chuck R
eed, Ron Gonzales and Tom McEnery — called on baseball to allow for Santa Clara
County to be freed from being considered as the territory of the San Francisco
Giants.
The A’s had previously attempted to move to San Jose, but those attempts were s
talled by MLB and the Giants in the past.
“We’ve reached out to the commissioner to express our strong belief that San J
ose should no longer be the only major American city in any professional sport t
o be legally barred from hosting a team,” Mahan said in a statement Friday nigh
t. “This is a timely request given the A’s impending departure, and with incre
asing interest in MLB expansion.”
A spokesperson for the San Francisco Giants did not immediately return a message
seeking comment on the letter.
