Supposedly this was a done deal, that the Athletics were moving. The city of Oakland had said that they were done negotiating.
Stay tuned. The lease for the stadium in Oakland runs through 2024, but a new stadium in Las Vegas may not be ready until 2028.
The team has the worst record in baseball. Between that and the talk of moving , it makes it very hard to sell tickets in Oakland
That's a pretty deceptive narrative. Before last season they had a playoff-competing team. Fisher pulled a Major League and traded all the good players and quadrupled the ticket prices.
You also left out that last month, fans hels a reverse boycott and 30,000 attended a Thursday game. That's more than the new park in LV will hold.
John Fisher is a "former" owner of the SF Giants and is colluding with them to move the team. The 1992 owner helped resuethe Giants from moving to Tampa Bay.
