Athletics Make Historic Move with Luis Severino Signing

The Oakland Athletics have signed right-hander Luis Severino to a three-year, $67 million contract, marking the largest deal in the franchise's history. This move comes as a surprise given the A's low-budget reputation and their transitional phase, planning to relocate to a new stadium in Las Vegas. Severino, who had a strong season with the New York Mets, can opt out of the contract after the 2026 season. The A's will forfeit their third-highest draft pick as a result of this signing.

"Tropicana Las Vegas to Close for New Baseball Stadium"

The Tropicana Las Vegas will cease operations on April 2 to make way for a new professional baseball stadium, marking the end of its 67-year run. Bally's Corporation announced the closure, with plans for a "state-of-the-art integrated resort and ballpark" to take its place. The closure will impact around 500 workers, most of whom are part of the Culinary Union, and severance packages are being offered. The Oakland A's are set to move to Las Vegas, with a new ballpark expected to open in 2028.
