Sacramento regional leaders are set to formally announce a bid for a Major League Baseball expansion team. - The announcement will feature Sacramento Mayor Kevin McCarty, West Sacramento Mayor Martha Guerrero, and former MLB stars Dusty Baker and Derrek Lee.
- The bid is fueled by the region's population growth, strong sports fan base, and sellout crowds for the A's currently playing in West Sacramento. - The Bridge District in West Sacramento is emerging as a potential site for a new stadium.
The effort aims to make Sacramento the next West Coast MLB market, building on the momentum from the A's temporary presence.
