A'S GOOD AS IT GETS? COUNTY, TEAM MULL NEW SETTLEMENT OFFER

          Alameda County and the A's are "considering a
     settlement" that would "remove some of the barriers to a
     sale in exchange for about" $9M in concessions to the A's
     and a $2M cash payment, according to Laura Counts of the
     OAKLAND TRIBUNE.  Earlier attempts to settle the A's $48M
     arbitration claims "have failed."  Also, four individuals or
     groups, two of which have gone public, are beginning MLB's
     pre-approval process in their attempt to buy the A's.  One
     group includes former A's Exec VP Andy Dolich, MLB analyst
     Joe Morgan and Men's Wearhouse Founder & CEO George Zimmer. 
     The second potential buyer is NBA Kings/WNBA Monarchs
     Minority Owner John Kehriotis, who said that he is backed by
     the Santa Clara-based Greater Bay Bank, owned by the Greater
     Bay Bancorp in Palo Alto, CA (OAKLAND TRIBUNE, 11/22).
