Athletics fire general manager David Forst

Key Points:

• The Oakland Athletics have officially listed their home location as West Sacramento and will play at Sutter Health Park under a three-year lease, with a team option for 2028 if their Las Vegas stadium is not ready.
• This move ends the A’s 56-year tenure in the East Bay and marks a temporary relocation while their $1.5 billion Las Vegas stadium project is completed, expected by 2028.
• The team explored several temporary home options, including the Oakland Coliseum and Salt Lake City, but ultimately chose West Sacramento, though a formal name change to "Sacramento Athletics" has not been made.
• Nevada Governor Lombardo recently approved a $380 million financing package for the Las Vegas stadium, and MLB owners have unanimously approved the relocation plan, pending final votes expected soon.
• Meanwhile, Oakland’s $12 billion Howard Terminal stadium project faces legal challenges and delays, casting uncertainty on the Athletics’ long-term future in the Bay Area despite some progress on environmental reviews.
