Good morning, Mets fans!
The Nevada Independent reports that the Oakland A’s and Red Rock Resorts are closing in on an agreement to construct a $1 billion baseball stadium north of Allegiant Stadium with the support of Governor Joe Lombardo. This is a big step in potentially relocating the A’s to Las Vegas. The A’s also released a statement on the news, confirming they’ve signed an agreement to purchase land for the future ballpark.
The Mets beat the Dodgers Wednesday night, 5-3, to win the series in Los Angeles.
