Dave Kaval has resigned as president of the Oakland Athletics, effective December 31. Serving in the role for eight years, Kaval was the public face of the team's planned relocation from Oakland to Las Vegas and the development of a $1.75 billion ballpark on the Las Vegas Strip. Despite launching the "Rooted in Oakland" campaign and failing to secure a new stadium in downtown Oakland, he spearheaded the move to Las Vegas, ending the team's 57-season run in Oakland. He announced he will be "staying in California to explore new opportunities at the crossroads of business and government." Sandy Dean will serve as interim president.
