MLB Gives Blessing for A's Move to Las Vegas as Team's Troubles Mount

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred expressed sympathy for Oakland fans over the Athletics' plan to relocate to Las Vegas but denied the franchise acted in bad faith.
The A's have signed an agreement to purchase land for a new ballpark in Las Vegas and will work with Nevada and Clark County on a public-private partnership to fund construction.
The A's are off to a dismal start in 2023 with the worst record and run differential in MLB.
The A's have a history of relocating, leaving Philadelphia and Kansas City before Oakland.
A move to Las Vegas is projected to earn the A's at least $50 million in MLB revenue sharing before the team leaves Oakland.
