The Arizona Diamondbacks discussed a move to Nevada

After a long time in the wilderness, mostly due to concerns about the nexus of sports and sports betting, Las Vegas has become a hotbed of professional sports over the last few years. The NHL were first in, the Golden Knight beginning play in 2017 and achieving immediate success. The WNBA followed suit the following year, but the jackpot was the city’s success in luring the NFL to Vegas, with the Raiders moving there for the 2020 season. But the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported today that the city of Henderson, about 15 miles southeast of Vegas and on the road there from Phoenix, reached out to the D-backs to discuss a potential move.
