Athletics announce relocation to Sacramento in 2025 and sign record contract for pitcher

The Oakland Athletics will relocate to Sacramento in 2025, playing in a minor league stadium. This move marks a significant change for the franchise, which has struggled financially in recent years. The A's have begun spending more on player contracts, including a three-year, $67 million deal for pitcher Luis Severino. This is the largest contract in the team's history and reflects a shift in their approach. Despite these changes, concerns remain about the team's future in Las Vegas. The A's currently lack a permanent home and face challenges in attracting free agents while playing in a temporary venue.
