The Oakland Athletics need to bring in a closer to shut down rampant speculation about their future $1.5 billion stadium on the Strip.
We’re not talking about A’s relief pitcher Mason Miller, who is enjoying a breakout season with 15 saves and was the winning pitcher for the American League in this month’s Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

With about nine months to go, the A’s are still seeking equity investors to help offset a portion of the $850 million that owner John Fisher needs to secure for the 33,000-seat ballpark project (the state and Clark County are kicking in about $380 million in public funds to help fund construction).
