The Oakland A’s remain in discussions for a new ballpark in both their home city and Las Vegas, but their negotiation partner is changing.
“I know [team president Dave Kaval’s] working tirelessly in both spots,” said A’s general manager David Forst. “We’re just looking forward to having a new ballpark somewhere.”
Last month, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred previously said that a new stadium in Oakland “just doesn’t look like it’s going to happen.”
He later partially modulated his outlook, saying, “We’re in a stadium situation that’s really not tenable. I mean, we need to do something to alter the situation.”
