Attanasio, the Milwaukee Brewers’ controlling owner, declined additional comment on the committee’s progress while speaking during a news conference Tuesday before his team’s postseason opener against Arizona. “The committee, we are literally in the middle of our process, which therefore, I can’t comment,” Attanasio said. “Even if I were to comment, we’re still doing our work. In fact, we had a meeting a couple of days ago. We have another meeting scheduled this week, wo we’re addressing it in a broad context and there’s a lot to address.
The committee will evaluate the team’s application, define the new operating territory and television territory, then make a recommendation to Manfred and the eight-man executive council. The council formulates a recommendation to all 30 clubs, which must approve the move by at least three-quarters vote.
Oakland’s lease at the Coliseum expires after the 2024 season. A new ballpark in Las Vegas is not likely to open until 2028 at the earliest. The team has not said where it intends to play until a new stadium opens.
