Bob Costas comments on Athletics' move to Las Vegas

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 21:17:39 GMT

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Bob Costas, the prolific broadcaster known as one of the most recognizable voices in sports, says the Athletics' forthcoming move from Oakland to Las Vegas is a historic one."It almost seems as if it's a fait accompli. They've purchased the acreage necessary, they can build a new stadium, every circumstance that would send them away from Oakland is in place," said Costas, adding that the blame for the Athletics' departure from Oakland likely lies on both the sides of the ball club and the city.However, Costas says the current iteration of the A's is not meant to compete."The team is terrible. They've gutted the roster, where once with limited resources, they were able to compete," he said. "That's what Moneyball was all about."The 2011 film tells the tale of the 2001 Athletics and their quest to use advanced analytics to overcome financial discrepancies and put a championship team on the field. Costas thinks that a new stadium and new start in Las Vegas may b...
