Ellison? Maybe
Musk? No
Zuck? No idea.

There are others.

Clorox has HQ in Oakland, IIRC.
They could "clean up" with a well-paid team. Oakland had Matt Chapman, Sean Murphy, Matt Olson, Jonah Heim, Marcus Semien, Sonny Gray, Sean Manaea, Chris Bassitt, Jesús Luzardo, Frankie Montas, AND Stephen Vogt, who manages Cleveland, which I recall, is leading their division.

Who's going to make Fisher an offer he can't refuse?
