Athletics Move Triple-A Team To Las Vegas
By Steve Adams | September 17, 2018 at 1:21pm CDT

The Athletics announced Monday that they’ve moved their Triple-A club from
Nashville to Las Vegas, forging a partnership with the Vegas 51s for the
first season of their newly constructed stadium. It’s a two-year deal
partnership between the two sides, and while that’s a fairly short term, the
two sides could easily extend that player development contract (PDC) for
another two to four seasons after the 2020 campaign, as is frequently the
case.

Las Vegas had previously been home to the Mets’ Triple-A affiliate, but the
Mets purchased the Syracuse Chiefs last winter with the intention of moving
their Triple-A club to a considerably more favorable location (geographically
speaking).

Oakland was one of five organizations reported to be facing a potential
relocation of its top affiliate, and the move to Vegas will now leave
Nashville as one of four potential partner cities for the remaining clubs.
Notably, the Nationals were reported to have interest in partnering with
Nashville, now that their former Syracuse location is home to the Mets’ top
affiliate.

For the A’s, they’ll step into a newly constructed facility in Summerlin —
 about 13 miles from the Las Vegas Strip. Richard Velotta and Betsy Helfand
of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported last year that construction costs on
Las Vegas Ballpark, the stadium’s formal name, would total $150MM.

“It is an incredibly exciting time to partner with the Las Vegas 51s,” said
Athletics executive vice president of baseball operations Billy Beane in the
press release accompanying the announcement. “Their ownership group is
committed to providing a first-class environment for our players, which
includes the grand opening of the Las Vegas Ballpark for the inaugural season
of our affiliation. We’re looking forward to working closely with Don Logan
and his staff as we both work towards putting a championship club on the
field.”

“The new PDC will provide a tremendous environment for the players with the
state-of-the-art amenities that will enhance player development with the
indoor hitting cages, mounds and workout areas in the Las Vegas Ballpark,”
 51s president and COO Don Logan said in a statement of his own. “…McCarran
International Airport has non-stop flights to the numerous [Pacific Coast
League] markets, as well as the big cities, that enables our team to have the
best travel in the 16-team league. This will be a great situation for our
fans to watch top prospects in the A’s system as well as players on Major
League rehabilitation assignments showcase their talents in the Las Vegas
Ballpark.”
