• Team will leave city at end of current season
• John Fisher says he tried to find new home in Oakland

Athletics owner John Fisher apologized for the team’s impending departure from Oakland in a letter addressed to fans on Monday.

Fisher published the letter one day before the A’s open their final home series in Oakland, where they have spent the past 57 seasons. The team will move to Las Vegas in 2028 after Fisher failed to agree with the city of Oakland on a deal to build a more modern stadium. The A’s will play in Sacramento, at the home of the minor league River Cats, from 2025-27 with an option for 2028 after being unable to reach an agreement to extend their lease in Oakland during that time.
