Rob Manfred Hopes Owners Vote On A\'s Las Vegas Move In November 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Sep 28, 2023 12:16 pm

Rob Manfred hopes owners will hold a vote on the Oakland Athletics\' proposed move to Las Vegas when they meet from Nov. 14-16 in Arlington, Texas.

Manfred discussed the timetable Wednesday during an interview discussing 2023 attendance. 

Since the Washington Senators became the Texas Rangers for 1972, the only team to relocate was the Montreal Expos, who became the Washington Nationals in 2005.

The A\'s said in April they planned to move to a ballpark to be constructed in Las Vegas and agreed the following month with Bally\'s and Gaming & Leisure Properties to build a stadium on the Tropicana hotel site along the Las Vegas Strip.

The Nevada Legislature approved $380 million in public financing in June in legislation signed by Gov. Joe Lombardo. The A\'s then started the process of applying to MLB for relocation.
