It's a new era for the Athletics.

Sam Blum and Evan Drellich of the Athletic reported that Athletics team president Dave Kaval resigned from his position after an eight-year tenure with the franchise. This comes as the team prepares to move to Sacramento for several seasons before officially moving to Las Vegas.

"We are grateful for Dave's contributions and leadership over the past eight years," owner John Fisher said in a statement. "He guided our organization through a period of significant transition, and we sincerely thank him for his unwavering commitment to the team."

Prior to his tenure with the Athletics, Kaval served as the president of the San Jose Earthquakes of MLS from 2010 to 2016, with his biggest accomplishment being successfully building a stadium for that franchise. He is first season with the Athletics was in 2017 and he was hired with the idea of getting a new stadium built.

The Athletics tried multiple stadium projects in Oakland before deciding to move, with notably proposals being the Howard Terminal site and one in downtown Oakland. The decision to relocate comes after the franchise was in Oakland from 1968-2024 and won 15 pennants and four World Series titles.

During Kaval's time with the franchise, the Athletics went 570-624 and reached the postseason three times.
