Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says a vote on the Oakland Athletics' prospective move to Las Vegas potentially could come when the league's owners meet next month.
MILWAUKEE -- Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says a vote on the Oakland Athletics' prospective move to Las Vegas could take place when owners meet from June 13-15 in New York.
Manfred was asked whether he believes the door is completely closed on the possibility of the Athletics remaining in Oakland, where the team has played since 1968. The Athletics have been seeking a new ballpark to replace Oakland Coliseum, which has served as their home park since they arrived from Kansas City and where the team's lease runs through 2024. The A's looked at a location near Oakland's Howard Terminal before shifting their focus out of state.
Manfred was in Milwaukee as Wisconsin legislators debate potential funding plans for American Family Field, the Brewers' home stadium since 2001. Manfred expressed confidence the state would work something out. Evers proposed spending nearly $300 million in taxpayer money to make improvements at the stadium, a plan that Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos declared to be dead on arrival. Republicans who control the Legislature have yet to unveil their own alternative, but talks have been ongoing in private.
