here's an article from a few months ago saying that Oakland would be open to a temporary lease extension provided the League promises an expansion team and requires the existing club to get a new name.

I really hope Oakland doesn’t bail them out without extracting a massive pound of flesh beyond a vague and unenforceable promise of an expansion team

Absolutely. Let the Fisher-men play in that 10,000 seat AAA stadium.

I was at an event in Lancaster, PA where people were playing baseball by 1860's rules and there was a team dressed in green calling themselves the "Athletic Base Ball Club of Philadelphia" - the A's might need to buy the rights from them.
