\n

The Oakland A’s are now one step closer to becoming the Las Vegas A’s … MLB owners just gave their resounding stamp of approval on the team’s potential move to Sin City.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

All 30 of the league’s bosses voted on the Athletics’ relocation plans in Arlington, Texas on Thursday morning … and not a single one disapproved — paving the way for the team to now pack its bags and send them to Nevada.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Of course, there are plenty of other hoops the team must jump through in order to officially relocate … namely, the org. must secure funds to build a $1.5 billion stadium on the Vegas Strip. But, it seems all of that is mere formality at this point.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The news is a crushing one for Bay Area fans … who did all they could to try to sway MLB owners before Thursday’s vote, including flying a plane over the owners’ meeting earlier this week with a banner that read “A’s belong in Oakland – #VoteNo.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

The at least somewhat good news for Oakland supporters? The team could still remain in its current city for a while.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

A Vegas stadium is not expected to be erected until January 2028 — meaning staying in the Coliseum for the next four seasons is an option on the table.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

If and when the A’s officially move, however, it’ll be historic … only one other team has relocated in the last five or so decades — the Montreal Expos, who bolted to D.C. in 2005.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The A’s would be the fourth major sports team to head to Sin City in the last few years — joining the WNBA’s Aces, the NFL’s Raiders and the NHL’s Golden Knights.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
