Manfred said any talk of expansion is premature until the league resolves stadium situations in Oakland and Tampa Bay. The A's have floated the idea of moving to San Jose, Calif., but Manfred said he was committed to Oakland. "I think the growth in that area, the way the growth has moved up into San Francisco, I think Oakland is more likely than not to be a better market five years from now than it is today," Manfred said. … In a pregame ceremony, Manfred announced that the awards for the National League and American League batting champions will be named for Tony Gwynn and Rod Carew.
