After MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said in December the Athletics wouldn’t be charged a relocation fee if they move to Las Vegas, more details on the offer have come to light.
“They have not said that yet -- they are talking about meeting next month, and I think that’s certainly something that we all should hope for,” Aguero continued."... When I get that question from time to time in terms of what the relocation fee would be, the best ballpark numbers that I’ve received is something on the order of $300 million is the relocation fee."
On the second day of MLB’s annual winter meetings, Manfred told reporters should the A’s talks with the city of Oakland for a new stadium break down -- they did -- the team wouldn’t be charged the relocation fee for moving to Vegas.“That’s why I was prepared to say it publicly,” Manfred told reporters in December . “If they can get it done in Vegas, there will not be a relocation fee for them.”And the A’s don’t have long for Senate Bill 509 to be approved.
Manfred’s “get it done” can be taken a variety of ways, but according to Aguero, those three words mean the A’s have plenty at stake in the coming hours.
