Teams in the largest 15 markets will lose all of their revenue sharing in 2016, except for the low-budget A's if they are unable to build the new ballpark owner Lew Wolff is busy planning for, in San Jose or elsewhere. Wolff certainly hopes it doesn't come to his team still needing revenue sharing in five years. ''The only reason there's a cut out for us is we don't have a proper venue to attract revenue, even though we're in a large market,'' Wolff said by phone Tuesday night. ''We're hoping to have a competitive venue so we can earn revenue like all the other teams. I think that was a very nice thing, but we'd rather not receive revenue sharing.'' The San Francisco Giants currently hold the territorial rights to San Jose and technology-rich Silicon Valley in Santa Clara County, some 40 miles south of the A's cur- rent home in the rundown Oakland Coliseum. The A's share the stadium with the NFL's Raiders. Oakland Baseball Commission- er Bud Selig appointed a committee in March 2009 to evaluate the issue facing the Bay Area teams, yet he has provided no timetable for when he might announce a decision. Wolff and general manag- er Billy Beane have said they expect to hear some- thing soon. ''I'll let the process run its course as directed by the commissioner and the best course is to be patient,'' Wolff said. ''No dates that I know of.'' Wolff — who declined to confirm whether he had recently met with Selig on this issue — insists it would ''be good for all of baseball'' if Oakland could build a new ballpark and thrive. Thus far it appears Selig doesn't want to make a decision that would anger the A's or Giants — though the rev- enue-sharing section of the new CBA signals he is at least looking out for Wolff, his old fraternity brother at Wisconsin. ''It's looking out for the situation we have with a two-team market,'' Wolff said. GREEN BAY (10-0) At DETROIT (7- 3) OPENING LINE — Packers by 6.5 RECORD VS.
