I have a theory. The A's can't seem to get a stadium built in Las Vegas and it looks like they're not going to get public money for one. So I honestly would be surprised if the A's wind up in LV at all.
SLC isn't at the top of the MLB's list of expansion cities. It's a small and isolated market with no real neighboring markets to draw from. Nashville, Charlotte, Portland and even Montreal are probably higher up in MLB's expansion rankings.
So what I think is happening is the Miller group is making a play to poach the A's. Bring them to SLC, show that there's a market for baseball, wait until the Vegas plans fizzle out, buy the A's or a stake in the A's and have them play at the new ballpark at the power district.
The A's have botched this whole move and I think this is the best possible solution.
