A’s general manager David Forst: “We’re just looking forward to having a new ballpark somewhere.”
The Associated Press
The A’s, Forst said at baseball’s general managers’ meetings, are still looking for a new ballpark in Oakland or Las Vegas. After the city of Oakland missed a key deadline last month with the A’s to finalize an agreement on the $12 billion Howard Terminal project, Manfred said on a Sirius XM radio show that he doubted a stadium would be built there. He softened his stance somewhat during the World Series, but remained concerned “about the lack of pace.”
Tuesday’s elections in California and Nevada could affect where further talks go in Oakland and Las Vegas. The A’s haven’t been satisfied with the terms offered to this point in Oakland, and Nevada politicians have shown little interest in providing the kind of public money the club likely wants.
