It's the first step in trying to overturn last year's decision that dismissed the city's antitrust lawsuit against Major League Baseball. The city also filed an appeal of that ruling with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
San Jose says MLB violated anti-trust laws by failing to act on a bid to move the A's to the South Bay. MLB has said the Giants currently have territorial rights in San Jose.
Business leaders push forward with Oakland waterfront plans
Oakland business leaders are pushing forward with plans to try to secure land for a new waterfront baseball stadium for the A's near Jack London Square.
According to our media partner, the Oakland Tribune, a five-member consortium is moving ahead to seek control of the 50 acre Howard terminal, in hopes that A's co-owner Lew Wolff will build a ballpark there.
On Wednesday, Wolff again rejected the site, which he has repeatedly said is not feasible. Regardless, Wolff did meet with city officials to learn more about the mayor's proposal to transform the coliseum complex into a sports and entertainment hub.
