A's move to Denver blocked as Finley withdraws offer
The Oakland A’s relocation to Denver stalls after Charles O Finley withdraws his sale offer. Giants and other owners balk at funding the $3.25 million lease exit, with Finley insisting on a $1 million contribution and opposition from Denver’s Marvin Davis and AL officials.
Finley vows not to pay more than one million for A's sale
Oakland owner Charles Finley told AP that if baseball wants to buy him out it must meet his price of one million dollars. He says he will stay with Oakland and contest any move to move the team to Denver despite pressure from MLB and Marvin Davis. Davis indicated he could still complete a Denver transfer if Finley reconsidered.
