Athletics' Stadium Funding Bill Signed By Nevada Governor; MLB Must Approve Move
The Oakland Athletics are one step closer to moving.
Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo signed a bill Thursday that will help fund a proposed A's stadium in Las Vegas, Sean Golonka, Tabitha Mueller, and Jacob Solis of The Nevada Independent reported.
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said Thursday that although the Nevada legislation was "really, really important," the A's would now need to go through "a pretty thorough relocation process... as a prelude to a vote of a clubs," per The Athletic's Evan Drellich.
"It depends in large part on how quickly the A's can get their formal relocation application together," Manfred said.
