- Athletics set to relocate to Nevada at end of 2024
- Minor league team hopes to fill void in city’s sports scene
Oakland is getting a new minor league baseball team, the Oakland B’s. The minor league B’s will carry on the city’s green-and-gold color scheme. Otherwise, they don’t plan to be anything like the A’s, whose heartbroken fans they hope to support through the team’s painful departure for Las Vegas.
The expansion independent club announced plans on Tuesday to begin play in the Pioneer League in May 2024, with their first home games set for July at Laney College. The intent is to keep baseball alive in Oakland for years to come.
