The A's announced on Wednesday that they will "explore other markets" as the franchise continues to pursue a new waterfront ballpark project.

The Oakland Coliseum has served as the home of the A's since 1968. However, A's president Dave Kaval said the Coliseum is "not a viable option for the future of the franchise."

A new waterfront stadium in downtown Oakland has been under consideration in recent years. But plans for a new stadium have hit a series of challenges, which led MLB to recommend a potential relocation of the franchise at some point in the coming years.
