The Oakland Athletics are in Limbo , California also known as the home of the Sacramento River Cats .

The A’s evoke 70s nostalgia thanks to their distinctive green and gold colours and icons such as Reggie Jackson , Catfish Hunter and Rollie Fingers .

Now they are symbols of executive dysfunction and geographical confusion.

Sutter Health Park is the site they will share for at least the next three seasons with the River Cats , the Triple-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants .

The A 's last made the playoffs in 2020 and have endured a losing record for the past three seasons .

Last year the A ’s payroll was $ 66.5 m, the lowest in MLB by more than $20 m.

The club hopes to begin ballpark construction by the middle of this year .

A's were embarrassingly crushed 18-3 by the Chicago Cubs in their first home opener.
