Oakland Athletics relocation to Las Vegas thread: Move to Vegas approved by MLB owners - Will play in Sacramento for 3-4 years

[SmoggyTwinkles]

You can't move the Oakland A's, The Oakland Athletics.

They're too storied a franchise. This is the craziest news I've heard today in a world full of craziness.

I mean, it's not like they didn't move twice already...

Still seems weird to me but I should probably go educate myself a little more.

What would Jose Conseco think?

He'd probably try and make it all about himself for a quick buck.

They aren’t going to. They’re going to approve Howard Terminal at city council on July 20th. Despite all the stuff they’re saying about team officials going to Vegas next week, which amounts to nothing more than due diligence.

Jose Canseco lives in Vegas so he may be more open to bringing the As to Vegas than you think.

Why would his opinion matter?

Huh, didn't know that's where he lives.

Other guy, it was joke but Canseco is best remembered as an A's player.

 

[tank44]

Only knew that from following him on Twitter and him pimping his car wash in Vegas every other day

Does he also mention that time he got his ass kicked by Hong-Man Choi?

I’m just here thinking that if the Giants moved to Tampa in the 90s, the A’s could’ve eventually been the San Francisco Athletics.

Forgot about that. If Giants moved, MLB would still have had Bay Area market covered.

Ewwwwww

Would you rather have Las Vegas A's or San Francisco A's?

vegas. since it'd be a 4 hr drive instead of a 7 hr one

Oakland.

 

[Reality Check]

That stadium is a dumpster fire. But seeing the A's move out of Oakland or the state of California entirely would be a bummer.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Audacity of the guy.

 

[Terry Yake]

Audacity of the guy.

yikes

someone didn't read the room

 

[Vamos Rafa]

Yooooo Kaval’s wiki says that his children’s names are Benedict Arnold Jr and Judas lmao. I don’t know how long that will last but check it out as soon as you read this.

A's president trolls own fanbase while touring relocation options

Good quick read.

 

[Lunatik]

I think it's a leap to say that was trolling the fanbase, he's a sports guy at a major sporting event and is in awe of the atmosphere, as he should be, the Knights fans are great.

 

[SSF]

The timing is pretty suspect

aside from the whole A's situation, it's a dumb thing to do given how many A's fans are also sharks fans. did he forget the knights are the sharks biggest rival at the moment?
