MLB 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.
in London, Manfred said the A's had not submitted a relocation application and there is no deadline for when he wants clubs to vote.
Following an owners meeting June 15, Manfred had said of the A's turnout: "I mean, it was great. It's great to see what is this year almost an average Major League Baseball crowd in the facility for one night. That's a great thing." "I don't have a firm timeline," Manfred said. "Depends on when the application comes in and how long the committee feels it needs to examine the application."
