It’s that time of year where teams are shaking up their front office structure and interviews are happening. We know that Sam Fuld was in the running to take the A’s president of baseball operations position, but that has apparently not come to pass. Being tasked with leading the A’s into Las Vegas was apparently […]
Well the list of potential new GM’s for the A’s got a little smaller on Saturday morning. Jeff Passan reports that Phillies General Manager Sam Fuld has turned down an offer by the A’s to take over the front office, opting to instead remain in Philadelphia where he’ll be second fiddle to Philly President Dave […]
The Boston Red Sox could lose assistant general manager Taylor Smith to the Athletics as their search for a new baseball operations leader continues.

Phillies president of business operations Sam Fuld has declined the Athletics’ offer to become the team’s new president of baseball operations, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports. Fuld’s name surfaced in connection to the A’s job earlier this week, but Fuld has now taken himself out of the running and will stay in Philadelphia. Nine names have […]
On this day 100 years ago, the Cardinals won their first championship by defeating the Yankees in Game 7 of the 1926 World Series. In the only time a caught-stealing play has ever ended a Series, Babe Ruth (who stole 123 bases throughout his career) was thrown out by Cardinals catcher Bob O’Farrell when the […]
The White Sox have played only one max-series playoff game ever: The 6-4 loss to Oakland in Game 3 of the Wild Card Series in 2020. But there are at least three other do-or-die regular season games as well, all having a direct impact on the postseason. As we head into a very rare beast […]
The Athletics were hampered by several major injuries to an up-and-coming lineup this season. Nick Kurtz, Brent Rooker, Shea Langeliers, and Tyler Soderstrom all missed significant time. An offense that ranked 12th in scoring in 2025 slipped to 20th in 2026. The absences in the middle of the order opened up playing time for a […]
The Oakland Athletics’ new Las Vegas ballpark is currently being developed by Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) in partnership with HNTB and occupies nine acres between Tropicana Avenue and Reno Avenue. The project is part of the franchise’s bid to relocate from Oakland and is being built on the former Tropicana Las Vegas site directly on […] The post Athletics share new update on Las Vegas stadium’s progress appeared first on ClutchPoints .
In 2003, “Moneyball” took MLB by storm. The book, which chronicles how the 2002 Oakland Athletics won 103 games using a data-driven approach, became the template for how baseball would be played for decades to come. Many of that Athletics team’s core “sabermetrics” tenets still drive strategy in MLB today: prioritizing on-base percentage over batting…
Earlier this year I took a look at two positive examples of teams that had been in the Colorado Rockies position and seemed to have turned things around. The Miami Marlins turned a 100-loss team in 2024 into an almost .500 squad in each of the last two seasons while the Chicago White Sox have […]
Good morning everyone! The A’s are still on the search for their new GM 10 days into the offseason. We’ve heard of several candidates, mostly outside options but one internal candidate. Based off that alone one would assume that the next voice of the Athletics’ front office will be someone coming from a different organization, […]
The Athletics are looking for a new front office leader. According to reporting from Patrick Mooney and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Brewers assistant general manager Matt Kleine is on the list of candidates, though it’s not specified if he has interviewed for the gig. The report mentions that Cardinals assistant general manager Rob Cerfolio […]
St. Louis Cardinals' assistant GM Rob Cerfolio was just interviewed by the Athletics for an open position. Chaim Bloom must do whatever it takes to promote Cerfolio to general manager and keep him with the Cardinals.
The Athletics wanted to interview former Twins president Derek Falvey for their GM job, but he turned it down.
In need of a new head of baseball operations, the Athletics have identified Phillies president of business operations Sam Fuld as a top target, per The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal. Fuld, 44, became the head of business operations for the Phillies after graduating with an MBA from the Wharton School in May. He stepped away from […]

Welcome to Tuesday everyone! The Athletics suffered massive injury issues this year with the majority of their starting lineup spending time on the injured list. No team can survive the onslaught of bumps and bruises that the team had this year and it showed in the final standings. If the team can’t stay healthy next […]
Ernie Clement was picked up as a free agent signing in March of 2023, after his release by the A’s earlier that month. I wasn’t thrilled with taking a castoff of the A’s (one who only played 6 games for one of the worst teams in baseball). It wasn’t like we didn’t already have a […]
The last weekend of the 2006 season was magical for the Minnesota Twins. After chasing the Detroit Tigers all summer, they final caught—and overtook!—the Kitties on the season’s final day. This afforded the 96-66 AL Central champion Twins the opportunity to stay home and welcome in the 93-69 AL West champion Oakland Athletics for the […]
Team has missed the playoffs two straight years
Athletics right-hander Seth Johnson has undergone left knee surgery, reports Martín Gallegos of MLB.com. The righty is expected to be recovered in time to be healthy for next year’s spring training. Johnson, 28, was just acquired a few months ago. At the trade deadline in early August, the A’s sent outfielder Colby Thomas to the […]
Good morning A’s fans and welcome to another week! Our second without A’s games. It’s starting to set in and I already miss our boys in Green & Gold. At least we still have the playoffs to get us by during these early days of the offseason. Meanwhile the Arizona Fall League has gotten underway […]
