Major League Baseball has released a statement saying it is a \"certainty\" the Athletics will call Sacramento home in 2025.
There have been concerns that Sutter Health Park in Sacramento will not be ready for next season.
\"It is a certainty that the A\'s will play their 2025 season in Sacramento as planned,\" the league said in a statement. \"MLB is continuing to work productively with the MLBPA on the details of the transition.\"
Sutter Health Park, which seats around 14,000 including outfield lawn open seating, will have to be upgraded to meet collectively bargained standards.
The A\'s will share Sutter Health Park with the Sacramento River Cats, Triple-A affiliate of the San Francisco Giants.
The Athletics are expected to play in Sacramento from 2025-27, and possibly in 2028, before moving into a new stadium in Las Vegas.
