California Reps. Barbara Lee and Mark DeSaulnier have introduced the 'Moneyball Act,' which is aimed at Oakland A's owner John Fisher, who wants to relocate team to Las Vegas.
, and the Nevada Senate put that in motion Tuesday when it approved to help fund Fisher’s new stadium in Sin City with $380 million in public tax money.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe Moneyball Act is described as"legislation that would require the owners of any professional baseball club seeking to relocate to compensate the state and local authorities they move away from.
DeSaulnier added,"I am proud to introduce this bill with Congresswoman Lee on behalf of the East Bay and communities across the country that stand to lose out as a result of corporate greed in sports." A’s fans want the team to stay, but it’s almost a certainty that Fisher is going to get what he wants. Fans ran a"reverse boycott" on Tuesday night at Oakland Coliseum, packing the stadium to show Fisher the fan base is still there – they just want him to sell the team so that it can stay in Oakland.
A 42-person Nevada Assembly now needs to vote to approve the $380 million funds from the state, so Gov. Joe Lombardo, who has been a proponent for bringing a MLB franchise to Vegas to join the NFL’s Raiders and NHL’s Golden Knights , can sign off on it.
