It’s an awful day for Oakland A’s fans.
Per USA TODAY Sports’ Bob Nightengale, MLB owners voted to approve the franchise moving from Oakland to Las Vegas, despite season-long protests from die-hards and chants of “SELL THE TEAM!”
If you’re wondering when the A’s will actually play in Las Vegas? It’s slightly complicated.
For one, the lease for the A’s to play in Oakland Coliseum runs through 2024, so they’ll have one more season by the Bay before a move … but a stadium in Vegas will reportedly be ready in 2028.
So where will they play in those three seasons? No official word on that since the news just broke on this vote. Stay tuned.
