Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said one big turnout by Oakland Athletics fans doesn't change"a decade worth of inaction" as he defended earlier comments about the"reverse boycott"held in protest of the team's proposed move to Las Vegas.
"My comment about Oakland was that I feel sorry for the fans, that it was my initial and — preference that we find a solution in Oakland," Manfred said at London Stadium when asked if he had regrets about his remarks. MLB is set to begin a months-long approval process for the team's proposed move to Las Vegas. Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo last week signed legislation granting $380 million in public financing for a ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip.
