LAS VEGAS — MLB commissioner Rob Manfred recently made news when he said he was skeptical a deal could be worked out to keep the A’s in Oakland. That it didn’t appear a planned $12 billion Howard Terminal project — which would include a $1 billion ballpark — would come to fruition.
He then expressed optimism about the team moving to Las Vegas. Sources even told the Review-Journal that the city was in position to welcome it.
All well and good.
