Whatever the end game is, I don't think it's actually for the A's to play in Las Vegas.

I'd be surprised if Sacramento is close enough to keep the TV deal as-is, and NBC has no incentive to negotiate with them. At $67MM/year that contract is almost certainly losing money, so if they can get out of it they will.
I'm really surprised they couldn't come to an agreement with the Giants to use their park as second tier tenant where the As get last choice of dates, play doubleheaders, and pay significant rent.
