Potential A's Move to San Jose Looms in Background at Winter Meetings

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Winter Meetings start Monday morning in the shadow of Disney World, and by the time they come to an end midday Thursday, there will be winners and losers, and plenty of people willing to tell you who they are.

You can take it as fact that the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Athletics will wind up in separate categories. One will be a winner and one will be a loser.

And if recent history is anything to go by, San Francisco will come out on top.

The A's are looking to move operations to San Jose at a site not far from HP Pavilion where the NHL's San Jose Sharks play. There is a plan (and financing) in place to build a new ballpark if they can get the go-ahead to move the approximately 40 miles down from their aging Coliseum home.
