Foregone conclusion, but the owners unanimously approved the A’s relocation to Las Vegas this morning. They’ll still be in Oakland for a couple more years, since their lease at the Coliseum runs through 2024 and their new Vegas stadium isn’t scheduled to open until 2028. For ‘25 through ‘27 they may be a bit of a road show with games in San Francisco and the existing Vegas AAA stadium, among other options.
The fact that the owners are perfectly fine with this is just example number 6 billion why being good at making money doesn’t mean you’re smart at all.

He’s operating a real estate development with an incidental team attached.

The details of the makeup inning are hilarious too.
Holy shit Billy Martin was such a weasel.
