Oakland A's Start Process to Move to New Las Vegas Ballpark While Oakland Mayor Pitches Plan to Keep Team

The Oakland Athletics have started applying to MLB to relocate to a new stadium in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas has approved public financing for a proposed retractable-roof ballpark for the A's.
Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao met with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred to present the city's plan for a new Howard Terminal ballpark.
A's fans have protested the potential relocation, chanting "Sell the team" at the All-Star Game.
MLB says it will consider expansion after the A's and Rays get new ballparks but the timeline is uncertain.
