rationale supporting mlb's century-old exemption from federal antitrust law." the oakland mayor, standing united with congresswoman lee to keep the a's rooted in oakland. >> i know mlb has this great concept of wanting to diversify its fan base. so we need a baseball team. we deserve a baseball team. we want the oakland a's to be routed here whether it's with this current ownership more than the ownership. >> it is something we are all hoping for, which is to sell. reporter: whether or not a sale happens, the golden state warriors star steph curry is also coming to bat for the community of oakland. >> even when we left oakland to san francisco, it was a tough move, but we are still in the area and able to reach the fan base that support us. we hope they stay. that's the answer. because you know how much it means for the community to have something to look forward to.

kristen: the more to say in the interview with our kc pratt, including what she's been doing behind the scenes when it comes to the a's. let's get to our sports director who joins us now without part of the story. larry: the mayor did not hold back anything in her interview yesterday in her office at city hall. she told him she believes the city and the a's were only a couple of days away from penalizing at the deal at howard terminal when the a's owner john fisher called out of the blue and said the team would instead be focusing on vegas. the mayor immediately broke off negotiations, telling pratt she didn't want to be part of the efforts to try to leverage both cities. she says since then she's been working to try to scuttle any ballpark deal in vegas. >> i can tell you right here right now that i have been doing so much work in the background. i did not make it easy for them to try to push this legislation through.

i've been in contact with legislators in nevada and on the phone. . picking up the phone and calling all the different people and labor unions to really make it so that it's harder for them. because we want the oakland a's here. i'm fighting for the oakland a's . . the fans are fighting for the oakland a's. why not here in oakland? dan: the mayor says if john fisher were to call her today, she would pick up the phone and agreed to get to work on finalizing a deal for howard terminal. she as if everything were to go right, they could break ground in two years. one footnote on the special session going on in nevada right now, curiously absent, in terms of making this proposal, the a's owner, john fisher, and the team president. legislators do not want to hear from their pr people but from the two in charge, and they are not speaking. we don't know if they are present. dan: the whole thing is so weird. larry, thanks a lot. coming up next, we will switch gears. butler areas staying with us --
