MLB Commissioner Manfred: Oakland A's need ballpark deal 'quickly'

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said the Oakland Athletics need to quickly reach a binding agreement for a new ballpark.

LOS ANGELES — Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said the Oakland Athletics need to quickly reach a binding agreement for a new ballpark and that relocation could be considered if a deal isn't struck for a facility in the Bay Area.

After trading veterans and cutting payroll to a major league-low of $48 million on opening day, the A's are an AL-worst 32-61 and have drawn a big league-worst 362,756 in home attendance, an average of 8,637. A's President Dave Kaval said last month he has made weekly trips to Las Vegas, investing time on design work and feasibility studies. Manfred declined to discuss whether MLB would waive charging the team a relocation fee — MLB has not charged relocation fees in the past.
