Rob Manfred threatens to move the Oakland Athletics to Vegas
The Raiders might not be the only Oakland team relocating to Las Vegas. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred warned Oakland city officials that he could move the franchise to Vegas if the city doesn’t drop its lawsuit over the future of the Coliseum. Manfred told the Las Vegas Review-Journal “In a recent meeting with the Mayor of Oakland, I did mention Las Vegas in the context of pointing out that the A’s might have to relocate if a new stadium can’t be built in Oakland.” While there is no current plan to move the team, SI Now’s Robin Lundberg and Amy Campbell discuss if they would set aside time on a Vegas trip to catch a ballgame.
