Show Notes
The Oakland Athletics, currently based in Sacramento, are looking forward to a potential move to Las Vegas. Despite a dismal 2023 season, they bounced back in 2024 with a 76-86 record. The teams young stars, such as shortstop Jacob Wilson and first baseman Nick Kurtz, shone brightly, with Kurtz winning rookie of the year and Silver Slugger awards. The teams power hitting was impressive, with Shea Langeliers and Brent Rooker each hitting over 30 home runs. However, pitching was a weak spot, with a 4.70 ERA and 222 home runs allowed. The offseason brought hope with the addition of Jeff McNeil, Aaron Civale, and young pitchers Luis Morales and Jacob Lopez. If the teams offense continues to perform and pitching improves, the As could contend, but a playoff appearance may still be out of reach as the teams owners keep an eye on the Las Vegas market.
