Philadelphia Phillies superstar Bryce Harper, who is from Las Vegas, doesn't like the way it appears Major League Baseball will put its first team in his hometown.

Speaking to The Athletic's Matt Gelb, Harper addressed the growing likelihood the Oakland Athletics will leave the city for Las Vegas:

"I feel bad for the A's and their fans. They're so rooted in Oakland. Those fans bleed green. Now it's, 'Hey, we're going to pick the A's to come to Vegas.' I don't agree with that. Who cares what I think? It's my own opinion. But when you see a team like the A's—there's so much history at the Coliseum with all the great players they've had.
