Eric Byrnes on Anthony Rendon "Selfish prick mentality", A's relocation debacle | Foul Territory 

And he is delusional if he thinks that Oakland A's fans would just show up in droves in Vegas.

he just seems kinda... dumb

Oakland fans really don’t hold hate in their heart like some franchise fans do. Sf and Oakland rivalry will always be the best in the west.

Agree. With the hockey team, they are able to make it work because their business model only requires like 18,000 fans max for 40 home games. With the Raiders, there is only going to be 8-9 home games and they are only once every couple of weeks which makes it really easy for out of towners to go to the games. With the A's - and if the stadium is going to be where the Tropicana is currently - how can they manage to bring in what the lowly Anaheim Angels (my team by the way) average per game (over 32,000) for 81 games? It just makes no sense for them to move to Vegas.

just search a picture of a raiders game, it's mostly fans wearing black. you pulled that out of town crap out of nothing.

@@a-love-supremist haha there are articles written about it. Look at when they they played anybody at home. At best it was 40% raider fans except when the chargers came - there were empty seats. Raiders draw better at sofi. Vegas isn’t supporting that team

Severely disappointed in Burnsie on the A's. Oakland fans treated him better than he played.

or football, hockey and basketball

I think of 8balls....not baseball

Brynes has always been ripped and a little crazy let's be honest.

@@jethrojacinto2798 exactly. I won’t disrespect the man cuz he was an A and we loved him, but it does make you scratch your head when he says some things

Yeah, so far I have already stopped caring, especially when the all the owners approved of the move to Vegas! No way would I become a giants fan! Fisher needs to sell to someone who actually knows how to run a team, like Lacob!

Im an A's fan from Oakland. If they do move to Vegas, I am done with MLB altogether. I definitely won't become a Giants fan. They can go f*ck themselves as they are also part of the reason we are in this potential relocation shit show. It's safe to say a majority of us A's fans (maybe like 95%) will be done altogether with MLB if the A's actually move to Las Vegas. F*ck John Fisher. SELL THE TEAM!

I hear you but nahhhhhh….You’ll be there with your tshirt on and hats at Barclays if they win the trophy.

@@gregthegroove not if it’s fisher owning the team and they’re in Vegas! Read the whole paragraph next time!

Die hard A’s fan since ‘87. Big Ohtani fan as well, so will now root for the dodgers which also allows me to root against the giants (a passion for all A’s fans).

Beating the dead horse with it. Like on a podcast not wishing the job on anyone. Well, why spent time in the minor leagues, let alone sign this contract.

What does it mean to “be a shit on” Arizona?

They always have a top farm system because of their development and scouting. That is what sets them up for long term success. They have won the division 10 of the last 11 years. I think Kershaw is the only player that has been on all those teams so the Dodgers have already shown the ability to consistently reload and reshape their core.

@@jtlevy9113 If you look back, their farm system is highly overrated. They are usually bust with an occasional prospect becoming a star. But their overall success rate at developing talent is actually more middle of the road overall. I did a research over the last ten years about some of the supposed top farm systems and how many WAR their international signees and draft picks were worth and the Dodgers are in the high teens with the Mariners over the last 3-5 years doing enough to still rank in the top 5 by comparison.

Agreed. People trying to act like they wouldn't do something they weren't passionate about, but someone was willing to pay them hundreds of millions to do it. It doesn't matter that there are millions of people that think that they love the game more and want to do it for less. He's one of the best. He gets paid. He got injured. His money is guaranteed. It's a risk every player/team takes. Get over it and move on.

Since when did being in a studio validate the take? Cmon buddy your brains better than this

People are assuming so much from a few sentences that this guy has said. He said it's not his top priority, but he did clarify that it's a priority. Immediately people jump to "selfish prick mentality" and that he doesn't care at all. You don't get to be as good as Rendon has been in his career and play at that level, just from natural talent. He's put in the work. And the guys been injured, but because he says stuff like this people assume that they know how this guys recovery's going and his intentions. He's done nothing to lead anyone to believe with certainty that he's intentionally staying off the field. People need to calm down. And don't take the opinion of sports commentators. These guys feed off clicks, whether it's good content or controversial content and more often than not it's disingenuous controversial content. Rendon's feelings are nothing new. There have been several ex-players that have commented on this story saying that you'd be surprised how many of them feel the same way. And it shouldn't come as a big surprise. Just because someone doesn't love something as much as you or ingest it as much as you do isn't an actual problem. They're really good at it. That's it. They get paid to produce results on the field, which Rendon has and they get protection against injuries because that's part of the job. Move on. It sucks, but the guy is injured and his money is guaranteed.

Wtf are you looking at? My man has guns for biceps and is clearly fit, shaved with a beanie he’s trying to sell on. Ffs…. Forgive me but what am I missing here?

that looks like a cycling jersey, and his low body-fat would reflect that hobby. this dude lives a very active lifestyle. mlb network is in NJ and he probably got sick of living there. he is bay area to the core and he calls some baseball games for the pac-12 network.

Weird take. Haven’t seen many hobos in great shape with 11 years in the show lol

lol

So you have faith that God doesn't exist?

@@VeteranCapybara I dont need faith

No one is born an atheist because athiest means youve heard anout religion and you reject it. When you are born you dont know anything.
