The uncertainty surrounding the Oakland Athletics' home beyond 2024 is affecting their pursuit of free agents, according to general manager David Forst. The team's lease at the Coliseum expires after the 2024 season, and with their new stadium in Las Vegas not expected to be ready until 2028, the A's have three years of uncertainty ahead. Agents have been bringing up the question of where the team will play in those three years when discussing multiyear free-agent deals.

The A's relocation to Las Vegas and the uncertainty of their home stadium impacts their ability to sign multiyear free-agent deals and improve their roster for the upcoming seasons.

• The A's lease at the Coliseum expires after the 2024 season.
• The new stadium in Las Vegas is not expected to be ready until 2028 Opening Day.

• The A's are still uncertain about where they will play their home games from 2025-27.
• Potential options include a lease extension at the Coliseum, splitting home games between Oracle Park in San Francisco and the Triple-A ballpark in Las Vegas, or another solution.

The A's hope to have an answer regarding their home stadium situation soon, potentially later in the offseason. They will continue to navigate the uncertainty as they pursue free-agent signings and aim to improve their roster.
