The Rundown: Expansion Could Change Rivalries, Cubs Open 5-Year Contention Window with Counsell Hire, White Sox Trade Bummer

I usually reserve this section for my opinion on the current state of the Cubs, but I’m going to call an audible today. The A’s are officially moving from Oakland to Las Vegas and the landscape of baseball will change dramatically before the end of this decade because of it. The new stadium is expected to open in 2028 and the Athletics have one year left on their current lease at the Oakland Coliseum. They would like to be baseball nomads starting with the 2025 season.

Coincidentally and significantly, the Rays will begin playing in their new stadium in ’28 and AFI Field in Milwaukee is going to get the stadium upgrades necessary to keep the Brewers from relocating.
