May then criticized Fisher for being "afraid of cameras," and he struggled at not "eviscerating that guy" during his lone season with the organization.
"You're a billionaire. You guys have all this power. You shouldn't have any because you haven't earned any of it," he added.

"But you're putting hundreds if not thousands of people out of work that have worked somewhere for decades, and you haven't acknowledged that at all. Just be better. That's all we're asking. Just be a human being," May said.
Oakland fans have been vocal in their displeasure about the franchise's move to Las Vegas, staging reverse boycotts at home games and at other stadiums around the league.
In his lone season in Oakland, May was 4-4 with a 3.28 ERA and 21 saves in 35 appearances. He ends his career with 36-28 record and 4.24 ERA with the A's, New York Mets and Minnesota Twins.
