In this story:
The Athletics are geared up and ready for a move to Las Vegas for the 2028 season, and there were a lot of unclear factors about how the move would be funded, and now it looks like there are some answers to that.
The team has been on a downward spiral recently, and they certainly needed some good news for the future of the organization.

The trade deadline is just over a week away, and they have yet to make any big moves. Aaron Civale was dealt to the Cubs, and the team landed a minor league arm in return.
Since the team is heading out of contention, we could possibly see big names like Tyler Soderstrom or even Shea Langeliers dealt before the deadline. However, we have discussed how trading Langeliers could be a huge setback for the team as they head into their Las Vegas years.
Mark Cuban Buys a Minority Stake in the Las Vegas Athletics
Funding has been a huge issue for the A's move to Las Vegas, and it seems as if they will have some new help for doing just that.
Harbinger Sports Partners is the group that is joining Cuban to buy a minority stake in the A's to assist their move to Las Vegas. The group was founded by Rashaun Williams, who also owns part of the Atlanta Falcons organization in the NFL.
