The franchise formally submitted an application for relocation to Las Vegas, team owner John Fisher told ESPN. Major League Baseball's relocation committee will review the A's application.

Kansas City Royals CEO John Sherman, Phillies CEO John Middleton and Brewers chairman Mark Attanasio make up the committee and will make a recommendation for or against relocation to commissioner Rob Manfred.

The A's will eventually have to have three-fourths of team owners vote in favor of the move in order for the relocation from California to become official.
