Happy Friday, Athletics Nation!
The MLB owners’ annual meeting is next week, and a vote on the A’s relocation plan is expected to take place in the course of the proceedings. A’s owner John Fisher needs “yes” votes from at least three-quarters of league owners in order to move forward with his plans to move the team to Las Vegas.
Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao has been busy making the case that the A’s should stay in Oakland, and that if they do move, it won’t be for a lack of effort or urgency on the part of Oakland officials.
