The MLB owner’s meetings are taking place this week in Arlington, Texas and the group is expected to approve the Oakland Athletics’ proposed move to Las Vegas according to a report by The Athletic’s Evan Drellich.
Per the report, MLB’s relocation committee outlined questions about the viability of the Las Vegas market and described the franchise’s potential success as “iffy” before handing it over to the owners for a vote. Despite those concerns and the relative unknown answer of where the team will play after their stadium lease expires in Oakland next season, MLB owners are expected to approve the measure on Thursday.
