MLB commissioner Rob Manfred gave another endorsement for the pending relocation of the A’s to Las Vegas, despite questions mounting about both the club’s interim and future home.

Speaking Tuesday before the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, Manfred said he remains optimistic about the project, and particularly the ability of A’s owner John Fisher to amass the more than $1.1 billion in private financing for the planned $1.5 billion ballpark along the famed Las Vegas Strip.

Funding beyond a previously approved $380 million in taxpayer money has not yet been finalized, and the A’s have hired veteran sports finance company Galatioto Sports Partners to help raise $500 million for the project.
