Oakland A’s owner Lew Wolff is finalizing a deal to sell as much as 15 percent of the San Jose Earthquakes soccer franchise to owners of the San Jose Sharks.
The deal means that the Sharks’ owner, Silicon Valley Sports and Entertainment Inc., will use its marketing and event-hosting prowess to help the Quakes rather than compete against them. That could be a big boost to the Earthquakes as the soccer team seeks to make inroads with local fans and could help the team attract non-soccer events to a new stadium it plans to build in San Jose.
