The Athletics are a team without a city for the time being, at least in how they're referenced. The MLB franchise announced Monday it has removed Oakland from its name and will simply be the "Athletics." It appears the A's are forgoing any mention of their ...

The A's are leaving Oakland at the bidding of owner John Fisher. Las Vegas has committed public dollars to the construction of a new ballpark for the A's, but that partial funding will be secured only if Fisher is able to secure private financing for the rest of the stadium project.

The Athletics are Oakland’s no more. With the 2024 MLB season behind it, the Athletics have officially dropped the city from their team name. The team will go by just the Athletics or A’s, starting Monday, when they play three seasons in West Sacramento at the Triple-A Sutter Health Park, the A’s announced in a statement Monday.

The Oakland Athletics are no more, officially. The team on Monday announced its “new brand guidelines,” and they have nothing to do with the city they played in the past 57 years. From now on, the team wants to be known as the Athletics.
