Good morning.
- The Athletics announced that the team will play from 2025 to (at least) 2027 in Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento. Sutter Health Park is the home of the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats. That’s about a 90-minute drive from the Oakland Coliseum. Depending on traffic, of course.
- John Shea has more on how this all went down and what the implications are for the Athletics, Sacramento and the River Cats.
- The main driver of this is Sacramento Kings (and River Cats) owner Vivek Ranadivé, who has been clear that he wants to bring an MLB team to Sacramento permanently, Ranadivé says he’s received no assurances of an MLB team in Sacramento, but he hopes to use the A’s time there as proof that Sacto can support a major league team.
