The Oakland Athletics have officially submitted their Las Vegas relocation application to Major League Baseball, and team owner John Fisher is breaking his silence on the years-long stadium saga.
In an exclusive interview with the Review-Journal, Fisher breaks down what went wrong in Oakland, his excitement about a future in Las Vegas, what he makes of the “sell the team” chants by A’s fans and whether the end of “Moneyball” will start with the team’s Nevada move.
The Review-Journal’s questions are in bold, with Fisher’s responses, in his own words, following. Questions and answers have been reordered based on newsworthiness.
RJ: What is the timeline for a relocation vote by MLB owners? How much work remains in submitting the A’s relocation application?
Fisher: We just recently submitted our relocation application. 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.
