Big-league baseball is officially coming to Sin City.
MLB owners on Thursday unanimously voted to approve the Oakland Athletics’ relocation to Las Vegas, according to multiple reports.
The A’s, whose owner John Fisher has been under fire from fans for failing to properly invest in the team, have not been able to strike a deal on a site for a new ballpark in Oakland, prompting the move to Vegas.
The Athletics are the second team to leave Oakland for Las Vegas in recent years after the NFL’s Raiders made the same move in 2020.
The Vegas Golden Knights were Las Vegas’ first major sports team when they began as an NHL expansion club in 2017.
Oakland no longer has any major sports teams as the NBA’s Golden State Warriors moved to San Francisco in 2019.
