The Athletics plan to play the next three MLB seasons at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento before moving into a proposed Las Vegas ballpark in 2028. ESPN's Tim Keown spoke to several sources close to the negotiations involving the A's, the city of Oakland and Sacramento officials, and one source believes the team remaining in the state capitol if the Las Vegas deal hits a snag was part of the motivation for Kings owner Vivek Ranadive allowing the MLB franchise to use the Triple-A ballpark rent free.
