Due to ongoing complications from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Oakland A’s are still looking for a facility for their taxi squad.

In theory, the easiest part of putting together a taxi squad for each team would involve finding a facility to practice. Most teams have minor league parks within a reasonable distance of their major league club, allowing a safe place for those players to remain if called upon.
