Oakland Athletics owner John Fisher has pushed the franchise one step closer to Las Vegas by officially filing to relocate the team.
“We just recently submitted our relocation application,” Fisher told Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “The commissioner has established a relocation committee that is going to review that, and it will then make its way to the other committees that will be reviewing it, and then to the full group of owners to vote on it.”
Fisher couldn’t provide a timeline for the committee to reach a decision but noted that the team has been “working closely” with commissioner Rob Manfred to move the process along.
