Oakland Athletics have been in the news since the start of the season. But for all the wrong reasons, from poor performances on the field to reverse boycotts. Though the highlight of all this remained A’s move to Las Vegas, which found success with 380 million fund approval, making the picture very clear. But there is a lot left before the ultimate step. The Oakland City mayor is trying to make sure that doesn’t arrive.

Per multiple reports, Mayor Sheng Thao met with the MLB front office, including Commissioner Rob Manfred. She shared a plan with them that could halt the A’s move to Las Vegas.

Oakland City Mayor has a plan to save the Oakland Athletics?

The Athletics are the only professional sports team left in Oakland. If it moves out, the city will have a big void to fill, and leave the baseball fans with no team to support. Fans have tried everything from boycotts to reverse boycotts to halt the move. They have continuously opposed it with their actions, which were visible in the All-Star game.

The city mayor Sheng Thao has joined to support them with her plan. She traveled to Seattle and had a productive meeting with the MLB office. Casey Pratt shared this update on her Twitter handle.

It read,” Oakland @MayorShengThao flew to Seattle to meet with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred on Sunday. And she showed her work. Wheeling in a dolly packed with Oakland’s plans to keep the Athletics. They met for an hour.”

Pratt in her report for abc7news.com, gave more details about the meeting. She shared,” The meeting, which lasted an hour, went well by all accounts. Oakland city officials including Chief of Staff Leigh Hanson, Howard Terminal Project manager Molly Maybrun and the Mayor’s Chief of Communications Pati Navalta were also there to assist in providing information.”

The meeting brings another chapter to the Oakland Athletics move after they got the senate approval of $380 million in funds for the new stadium. They are now in the process of getting the final approval with a vote in favor of 75 percent of MLB owners.

A twist in tails as the A’s move to pass the last hurdle

For a move to Las Vegas, the A’s have to get approval with 75 percent votes from all the MLB owners. The process has not started yet. With a lot of opposition, it could take another twist. Also, now with an intervention from Mayor, the move could face another test. If the latest meeting could bring Owner John Fisher into the conversation, the A’s fans can get a lifeline. Will it happen or not? Only time has an exact answer.
