This week is all about the future Las Vegas Athletics.
The team — now officially referred to by Major League Baseball as the Athletics or A’s after ending its 56-year run in Oakland — will play two spring training games at the minor league Las Vegas Ballpark on Saturday and Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Before the team arrives, A’s representatives will appear at the Las Vegas Stadium Authority board meeting Thursday to discuss two items. One discussion covers appointing leadership of an oversight committee to manage the team’s $2 million annual community benefits package.
