Could the Oakland Athletics be moving HERE? It could happen, believe it or not.

ESPN's Jeff Passan sent this tweet out on Tuesday.

For years, the Athletics have been trying to get a proposal passed to build a new stadium however, all efforts in the past have fallen on deaf ears. They asked Major League Baseball to begin exploring options of moving the team, which were approved.

The internet is going CRAZY with thoughts that, if in July a new stadium isn't approved in Oakland, that the A's will be moving to Las Vegas.

Las Vegas seems to be the first choice but other cities have been thrown into the mix as well.

Also rumored to be in the running,  Charlotte, North Carolina; Montreal; Nashville, Tennessee; Vancouver, British Columbia.

How cool would it be to have a MLB team in Las Vegas??
