Manfred also said he has not spoken to new Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao.
PHOENIX — Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred says Oakland Athletics owner John Fisher has focused on Las Vegas of late as a new home for the franchise.
“I think Mr. Fisher wants to make the best deal to secure the future of the A’s, whether it’s in Oakland or in Las Vegas,” Manfred said. “They need a new stadium. I think that’s kind of beyond debate.” But the Howard Terminal proposal has been stalled by money and concerns about affordable housing in the area.
