MLB Considers Las Vegas \'Viable Alternative\' For A\'s 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jul 13, 2021 9:59 pm

Rob Manfred said relocating the Oakland Athletics to Las Vegas is viable if they are unable to make progress on a new stadium in the area. 

The A\'s current lease at what is now called RingCentral Coliseum runs through 2024. Manfred said calling the Vegas alternative a bluff \"is a mistake.\"

\"Las Vegas is a viable alternative for a major league club, and there are other viable alternatives that I haven\'t turned the A\'s loose to even explore at this point,\" Manfred said during a Q&A session with members of the Baseball Writers\' Association of America on the morning of the All-Star Game.
