Good morning everyone! For today’s Season In Review we picked right-handed reliever Justin Sterner for the deep dive. It was a bit of a roller coaster season for the rookie, with lots of highs and a few lows in his first full season as a major leaguer. But overall not a terrible first year with […]

Good morning A’s fans! The next major free agent reliever has signed, and no it wasn’t with the A’s. The first big domino to fall was right-handed reliever Raisel Iglesias, who reupped with the Atlanta Braves on a one-year pact a couple of weeks ago. That’s seemed to trigger a quick succession of signings. The […]

“Never!” should be your answer. No good San Francisco Giants fan would ever dream of trading the team’s ace. That’s Buster Posey’s job, and if he’s going to be any good as a President of Baseball Operations going forward, he ought to start popping ashwagandha pills before bed. Yesterday, Andrew Baggarly wrote an article for […]

Today in our Season In Review series we take a look at one of the better pitching prospects in the organization and his first taste of the big leagues. Right-handed starter Mason Barnett has a high ceiling and could be a big contributor to a future A’s playoff squad, and we finally got to see […]

We’re doing back-to-back relievers today. After taking a quick peak at Angel Perdomo’s quick and brief time with the Athletics we’re examining an arm that has a bit more tenure with the A’s than Perdomo. Right-handed reliever Tyler Ferguson burst onto the scene last year as a rookie making 50 relief appearances for the Green […]

Today we take a quick look back at a reliever that didn’t make it into many games for the Athletics this past season. Four, if we’re being exact. Right-hander Angel Perdomo may not have made it into many contests for the 2025 A’s and that might be it for his tenure donning the Green & […]

There was a time when Lou Trivino was considered a rising relief star. Drafted by the Athletics in 2013, after an inconsistent start to his career, the righthander eventually became the A’s closer and was named American League Reliever of the Month in June 2021. Things quickly went downhill after that. He lost effectiveness to […]

Good morning everyone! We hope you had an enjoyable Thanksgiving with lots of food and leftovers.

“Max Muncy? Could you be more specific? Ah, the infielder drafted by the A’s? Could you be more specific? Ah, the one born on August 25th? Could you be more specific?” So many Max Muncys, so little time. But we have some time so let’s talk about the younger one who still plays for the […]

Good morning A’s fans! The pitching depth was tested early and often for the Athletics in 2025. Some of that is from asking young pitchers to exceed their innings limits, promoting arms that weren’t ready, injuries, poor performance, and just plain bad luck. The bullpen was especially tested as the club had to rely on […]

Sometimes Thanksgiving week brings you turkey and family cheer and sometimes it brings you the Josh Donaldson trade. Every year a surprise! My Aunt Bertha and Uncle Perv just rolled in — and I mean the former quite literally — and Cindi is busy baking her new Eggplant Permigiana, which is when you show off […]

Happy Monday A’s fans! Our Season In Review series continues this morning, and today’s player is outfielder JJ Bleday. It looked like the onetime top prospect had found his forever home with the Athletics but a tough season at the plate and in the field, plus a younger hot-shot prospect shooting through the system, helped […]

Good morning everyone and happy Monday! Over the weekend the A’s were quiet, not announcing any deals or making any trades. The club did add to their depth with the recent signings but we are also still waiting for some confirmation regarding reliever Nick Anderson and catcher Abrahan Gutierrez. There’s no reason to suspect these […]

Sean Newcomb’s first go-around with the A’s was nondescript, similar to his entire career to that point, but after the Red Sox signed him for $1M and decided to move on from him mid-season, the A’s decided to give Newcomb another whirl. And it paid off in spades. How Was He Acquired? On May 27th, […]

Last offseason the A’s were on the lookout for third base help in a big way. After seeing veteran Abraham Toro and rookie Brett Harris struggle all season long and moving on from Toro, the A’s were desperate for even league-average production. They weren’t going to be players for the top of the market bats […]

Today in our review series we got someone that made it into just ten games for the A’s due to injury. Righty reliever Jose Leclerc barely played for the Athletics this past season and that’s looking like all we’ll see of the former Rangers closer in the Green & Gold. As a bonus for you […]
