MLB Team Purchased Land Near Las Vegas Ahead of Impending Move

The Oakland Athletics have reportedly purchased land near the Las Vegas strip ahead of an impending relocation, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports. The deal is for a 49-acre property located at Dean Martin Drive and Tropicana Avenue, which is owned by Red Rocks Resorts, the parent company of Station Casinos. “For a while we were on parallel paths (with Oakland), but we have turned our attention to Las Vegas to get a deal here for the A's and find a long-term home,” A's President Dave Kaval told the Review-Journal on Wednesday (April 19).
