Commissioner Bud Selig is planning to meet with the Giants within two weeks to discuss a potential A's relocation to San Jose.
The Giants own the territorial rights to San Jose and are very reluctant to give them up, but with the A's floundering, Selig may be willing to make some favorable concessions and twist a few arms in order to get something done. The A's are "checking off boxes" to ensure that baseball is satisfied with their plan to relocate, sources told FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal. One of those boxes was to expand the capacity of its proposed San Jose stadium from 32,000 seats.
