Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!
On Friday, Evan Drellich at The Athletic reported that the A’s consider Sacramento to be the frontrunner to host the team in the interim years from 2025 through 2027, after the team’s lease at the Oakland Coliseum expires but before their new ballpark in Las Vegas is expected to be ready.
However, Mick Akers at the Las Vegas Review-Journal indicated later the same day that the A’s remain focused on negotiating an extension at the coliseum. He also reported that the Aviators’ ballpark in Vegas is no longer in the mix as a potential squat, while Sacramento and Salt Lake City remain under consideration as backups should a deal to stay at the Coliseum fail to materialize.
