Baseball commissioner says A’s can relocate to Las Vegas without a fee

The Oakland Athletics will have their relocation fee waived if they decide to move to Las Vegas, and MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred says 2023 is a big year when it comes to the future of the franchise.
Speaking at baseball’s winter meetings in San Diego, Manfred also said the Los Angeles Angels hope to have their sale resolved by opening day. He had no update on the sale process for the Washington Nationals, only referring to multiple possibilities looking at financial information.
The A’s have played at the Coliseum since 1968 and their lease expires after the 2024 season. After withdrawing plans for ballparks in Fremont and San Jose, the team announced in November 2018 it had found a waterfront location for a new ballpark at Howard Terminal, close to the Jack London Square neighborhood.
But the city of Oakland missed a key October deadline for finalizing an agreement with the A’s on the $12 billion project. The A’s also have been exploring a move to Las Vegas.
“We’re past any reasonable timeline for the situation in Oakland to be resolved,” Manfred said.
Under Major League Baseball’s March labor agreement with the players’ union, the A’s exemption from being a paying team in the league’s revenue-sharing program would end for 2024 if the team doesn’t have a binding agreement with Oakland or another city for a new ballpark by Jan. 15, 2024.
“They need to have a deal by then, so this is a very, very important year,” Manfred said. “If Oakland wants to keep the A’s, they need to figure out a way to get a deal in front of the A’s that’s acceptable to (owner) John Fisher.”
When it comes to baseball’s other pressing stadium situation, Tampa Bay announced last week that it had submitted a bid to redevelop Tropicana Field and surrounding land on the edge of downtown St. Petersburg.
The Rays’ proposal — partnering with a real estate investment and development firm — was among four bids submitted to the city by Friday’s deadline. A developer is expected to be selected by the end of January.
Manfred said Rays principal owner Stuart Sternberg “is trying to explore all of the available options in the Tampa Bay region to get a facility that is a first-class major league facility and improves the economic situation (with) the Rays.”
Baseball’s winter meetings are back in their usual form after they were canceled in 2020 because of COVID-19 and scrapped last year because of the lockout. Two big contracts were handed out on Monday, with the Philadelphia Phillies agreeing to a $300 million, 11-year contract with shortstop Trea Turner and the New York Mets reaching an $86.7 million, two-year contract with Justin Verlander.
Asking about the possibility of a record-setting free agency this year, Manfred said there are positives and negatives to the market.
“On the positive side, I think a week in December where there’s a ton of focus on players and where they’re going to be for baseball, it’s a good thing in terms of marketing the game,” he said. “On the downside, I think everyone in this room understands that we have a level of revenue disparity in this sport that makes it impossible for some of our markets to compete at some of the numbers we’ve seen.”

The most successful franchise in sports history will be chronicled like never before in an upcoming documentary.
ESPN Films announced on Wednesday a new series titled "The Yankees Win," an eight-part documentary covering every important aspect of the 27-time World Series champions.
The multi-part documentary, produced in partnership with Major League Baseball, takes fans behind the scenes and into the clubhouse while covering the Yankees from every angle -- the titles, the drama, the rivalries and, of course, the starpower. It features never-before-seen footage, as well as interviews with players, managers, coaches, executives, writers, commentators and fans.
Specific details on the documentary will be announced at a later date.
The series is directed by Emmy and Peabody winner Jonathan Hock ("Survive and Advance," "The Best That Never Was," "Of Miracles and Men"). In addition to ESPN Films serving as the executive producer in association with MLB, the project is also being produced by Words + Pictures, Hock Films, Bad Robot and Zipper Bros Films.
