Major League Baseball won’t arrive in Las Vegas for another 30 months, but creating a competitive team is the primary focus.
As he sat in the Athletics clubhouse at Sutter Health Park two days before Major League Baseball’s trade deadline, General Manager David Forst said much of what the team has worked on in terms of players is focused on 2028 — when the franchise is expected to begin playing in Las Vegas.
“It’s important for us to be competitive, win and try to get back to a playoff window,” said Forst, who is in his 10th season as the A’s top baseball executive. “It starts with a foundation of a core group of players. When you look at this roster now, it's easy to see what the team would look like in the new ballpark.”
“I think there's a lot to get excited about if you're sitting in Las Vegas anticipating this team being there in 2028,” Kotsay said. “We have long-term players on this roster right now.”
