Oakland Athletics

For many in Oakland, when you'd ask who their favorite player to watch growing up was, if they were of a certain age, the answer was always Rickey Henderson. It was almost more helpful to ask who their favorite player was after Rickey. Born in 1958 in Chicago, Rickey made his way to Oakland Tech High School, where he ended up being selected by the A's in the fourth round of the 1976 MLB Draft. If you follow baseball at all, you're probably aware that Henderson is a Hall of Famer, and that he holds the all-time steals record, swiping a total of 1,406 bases in his career.

The Oakland Athletics agreed to sign veteran infielder Gio Urshela.

The 26-year-old Wilson was 5-4 with a 4.04 ERA and 82 strikeouts in 34 appearances and nine starts with the Milwaukee Brewers last season. He is 20-21 with a 4.61 ERA over seven seasons with Atlanta, Pittsburgh and Milwaukee.

The Philadelphia Phillies reportedly asked for All-Star closer Mason Miller in a potential Alec Bohm trade with the Athletics.

The Athletics are building a new-look rotation for their big move to Sacramento. The A's added to their pitching depth on Saturday, acquiring Jeffrey Springs in a multiplayer trade with the Tampa Bay Rays. The A's also received fellow left-hander Jacob Lopez from Tampa Bay in exchange for right-handers Joe Boyle and Jacob Watters, infielder Will Simpson and a competitive balance pick in the 2025 amateur draft.

García, 34, was traded from Toronto to Seattle on July 26 for outfielder Jonatan Clase and catcher/outfielder Jacob Sharp.

To open a roster spot for Nathan Eovaldi, right-hander Roansy Contreras was designated for assignment.

Free agency is regularly dominated by teams like the New York Mets, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees. The Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers also can be key players, and teams like the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners would not be surprises if they get involved in bidding for key players.

Former Oakland A's Dave Parker and Dick Allen were elected to baseball's Hall of Fame on Sunday by the classic era committee. Parker, who played two years for the A's in the 1980s, received 14 of 16 votes and Allen got 13.

Notably, Montas was in the same rotation as left-hander Sean Manaea from 2017 to 2021; Manaea himself was traded away from Oakland in 2022, and went on to pitch for the Mets in 2024.

Growing up a Minnesota Twins fan I couldn't get enough baseball whether it was catching a game on the radio, TV, or in person at the Metrodome during my time in high school, I couldn't get enough baseball in my life. While I might not be as big of a fan as I had been, I still follow the game and a sentence in a recent ESPN article caught my attention. The article referenced a Minnesota-based company playing a small part in MLB's move to Las Vegas. The article in question discussed how the A's are closer to calling Las Vegas home, as the team wrapped up playing in the Oakland Coliseum this past season.

Former San Francisco Giants president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi reportedly is in discussions with the Los Angeles Dodgers about a return to the organization.
