PHOENIX (AP) — Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred and Oakland Athletics owner John Fisher talk on a regular basis about a new home for the franchise, and the focus has been on Las Vegas. But Manfred isn’t closing the door on the team remaining in Oakland. He says he thinks Fisher “wants to make the best deal to secure the future of the A’s, whether it’s in Oakland or in Las Vegas.” The A’s have played at the Coliseum since 1968, and their lease expires after the 2024 season.
