dollars of taxpayer money. public money from going to the ballpark project there in vegas. come first. and carmen joins us now live in the studio with the latest on everything there. hey, dan, you know, very few a's fans expected to wake up this morning and find the mayor of las vegas was on their side. but that's what happened in this podcast interview. she says she believes the day's owner, john fisher really wants to keep the a's in oakland at a waterfront ballpark and she thinks. >> that's what should happen. it's here on the side of the tropicana hotel in las vegas that the oakland a's intend to build a new 1.5 billion dollar stadium, assuming they can get additional financing. but in an interview on the front office sports today, podcast las vegas mayor carolyn goodman suggested the a's reconsider. >> i personally think it got to figure out a way to stay in oakland to make i agree with i think that they need to figure out how stay in oakland, oakland, mayor sheng thao says

her door remains open days. owner john fisher and major league baseball. just because you announced a possible site doesn't mean that you actually will have a stadium, you know, until the shovel hits the ground. like i said from the very beginning, i still have hope that the oakland a's will remain here in the city of oakland with john fisher. is boehner over the new owner in the front office sports today podcast the mayor of las vegas also criticized the tropicana location. >> they're going to go out. want to get closer to the strip with all the congestion, everything and i this s not make sense. the tropicana site and much of the rest of the las vegas strip actually falls outside of the city limits of las vegas. >> could the mayor simply be pushing the a's to build a stadium within the las vegas city limits. nothing surprises may in the yellow brick road paved with from oakland to las vegas and adolis who served as executive vice president and vice president of business operations for the a's from

1980, to 1994 says it could be that or something else or whether this is a push for las vegas to say, you know what, we'd rather be in the expansion side of this. then the relocation side of this, whatever is at play here should give fans renewed optimism that it ain't over till it's over. it doesn't necessarily mean that everything is going to fall apart. >> but >> it's it's very fans not necessarily to get our hopes up. >> but it just adds fuel to the ongoing fire or dumpster fire. that is john fisher. >> now after the release of the podcast, the mayor of las vegas issued a statement saying she's excited about the prospect of a major league baseball team in las vegas. and it could be the a's. but she reiterated her belief that the best option for the a's is a waterfront ballpark in oakland and ownership and government leaders should work >> dan, thank you. moving on
