With under a year remaining until ground is supposed to break in Las Vegas, another flaw in their plan has emerged
We are just a few weeks away from the one year mark since Nevada approved public financing for the Oakland A's proposed ballpark in Las Vegas. In that time not a whole lot has happened. MLB owners voted unanimously to approve the team's relocation, and we found out that the A's are planning to play for at least three seasons in a Triple-A ballpark in Sacramento in the interim years. That's pretty much it.
Fisher's team is not worth the money he's looking for unless he gets money from someone else. As if that isn't enough of a big red flag for potential investors, the A's alsolast season playing in the Bay Area. Baseball prints money. You know how hard it is to not make at least a little? The San Diego Padres also lost money last year, but that's because they ran a payroll of $255 million. The A's had a payroll of $59 million, or just about $200 million less.
