THE DESERT MIRAGE: Will the A's Make it to Vegas?

Locked On A's - Daily Podcast On The Oakland Athletics

In this episode of Locked On A’s, we dive deep into the crumbling narrative behind John Fisher's push to move the Oakland A’s to Las Vegas. With news of Fisher looking to sell a minority stake of the team for an astonishing $500 million, questions are rising around his commitment, intentions, and the true viability of a Vegas stadium plan. As we explore the latest updates from Vegas insiders and break down the timeline of events, the picture of a Vegas ballpark for the A's becomes increasingly murky. Could this high-stakes gamble be nothing more than a smokescreen?

Adding to the drama is the potential alternative: Sacramento. We explore how Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive’s open support for an MLB team in Sacramento might be part of a fallback strategy if the Las Vegas move collapses. With the A's temporarily finding a home at Sutter Field rent-free, Ranadive may just be the key to the A’s next chapter, away from the desert and back to California. Tune in as Locked On Golden Knights host Tony Cordasco shares insights from Vegas, and we take a closer look at what this uncertain path means for A's fans, the team’s future, and the Bay Area's enduring sports legacy.
