After spending this season in California’s capital city without acknowledging that on their uniforms, the Athletics have announced they will have “Sacramento” written on gold alternate jerseys in 2026.

With mounds of dirt, construction vehicles and the exact location where home plate will be at the new Athletics ballpark serving as the backdrop, team owner John Fisher stood in front of a large gathering with one message: “We are Vegas’ team.”.

A person with direct knowledge of the negotiations says outfielder Lawrence Butler has agreed to a $65.5 million, seven-year contract with the Athletics.
