Fisher has not done any interviews with a Bay Area media outlet about his A’s ownership or the team.

since the all-star break, Fisher says he has “not considered selling the team.”

Fisher claims the A’s “have had the revenues to support” many key things needed for a Major League team, claiming the team will “lose $40 million with a $60 million payroll” in 2023. It is worth noting that Fisher and the A’s have not opened up their books publicly and Forbesin 2022, in spite of being in the bottom two in both attendance and payroll last year.

The reason for the change, Fisher said, is because of the pending relocation from Oakland to Las Vegas. In that time, the A’s have consistently had a bottom-half payroll among MLB’s 30 teams and haven’t ranked higher than 23rd in the past 16 seasons . But Fisher now says the new ballpark’s increased revenues will allow him to increase how much money he can spend on players.
