The new minor league Oakland B’s, also known as the Oakland Ballers, had planned to play a game at the Coliseum on June 29, aiming to engage fans and provide free tickets to local youth players. The team had signed a lease, paid a deposit, and prepared promotional material. However, the Oakland A's blocked the game, despite the Ballers' efforts and existing agreements. This decision has led to questions from the Oakland City Council members, who have requested an explanation from the A’s President Dave Kaval.
