The Athletics\' proposed move from Oakland to Las Vegas is expected to be approved by Major League Baseball owners on Thursday.
Owners will be meeting later in the week in Arlington, Texas, and at least 75% of them must sign off on the report submitted to them by MLB\'s relocation committee.
Approval by John Fisher\'s fellow owners is one of the final hurdles to his bid to move the franchise to Nevada, but it is perhaps not the most significant remaining checkpoint.
Fisher still must secure private financing for his share of stadium construction costs.
