The Oakland Athletics have a long history of struggle when it comes to getting a new stadium. They have repeatedly clashed with Oakland municipal officials when it comes to agreeing on a new location in downtown Oakland. So MLB has said if the A’s and the local government can’t come to terms, the A’s can start exploring options elsewhere.
The most popular rumor right now involves the A’s moving to Las Vegas, but there are other locations in the mix as well, including Portland, Charlotte, Vancouver, Nashville, and Montreal, all sites that have been whispered about for expansion teams as well.
