Latest news and updates about the Athletics
The quarterfinal matchups of the World Baseball Classic are set. We’ve had hours upon hours of great baseball on TV to get our spring off on the right foot, and the ability to watch some of our favorite players get their spring reps in games that mean something to millions of fans across the globe. […]
A few days ago, Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said that his team is a power-hitting, not base stealing group when asked why he has slugging first baseman Nick Kurtz hitting leadoff. That was the case last year and will be again this year, evident by the 29 home runs the team has already hit this […]
Record 8-11. Change on 2025: -0.5. 5-inning record: 4-13-2. A new record-holder for the worst margin of defeat this spring, the Arizona pitching staff giving up 14 hits and two walks. To be fair, there were four unearned runs, resulting from errors by Pavin Smith and Kevin Ginkel. But even nine earned runs… is not […]
The big news in today’s line-up sits right at the top, where Corbin Carroll is back in the line-up. It’s an amazingly quick return, just one month and a day after he suffered the injury on a swing during live batting practice on February 10. Given that when we looked at previous hamate-afflicted players, the […]
This afternoon, the Athletics will look to make it five Cactus League wins in a row as they play the Arizona Diamondbacks for the second time this spring. A week ago, the Diamondbacks defeated the A’s 3-1. Since then, the A’s offense has woken up in full force, seemingly scoring runs at will during this […]
*In an effort to make the nomination voting easier for everyone, I will comment, “NOMINATIONS”, and you may reply to that with your picks and upvote the player you’d like to see on the next nominee list. We’re approaching the end of our annual CPL with just a few spots left. Right-hander A.J. Causey finds himself landing […]
Competitions for those last roster spots are intriguing and compelling. Who will be at 3B on March 27th when the A’s visit the Blue Jays? Who will round out the bench and which relievers will break camp with the big league club? As the March to the 27th fast approaches, fans are atwitter (or is […]
Happy Wednesday A’s fans! While spring training games rarely serve as predictors for how a team will play in the regular season, they can indicate certain things about every team’s roster. Through 18 spring training games, the general consensus around the Athletics is that the team’s offense will once again drive its success, due to […]
If you spent the $20-$30 needed to attend today’s game as a spectator, you would’ve walked away having gotten your money’s worth. It was a back and forth battle at Hohokam Stadium! The White Sox got to A’s starter Jeffrey Springs early, in the first inning Edgar Quero and Lenyn Sosa would do some damage. […]
While the Seattle Mariners look to handle the Randy Arozarena – Cal Raleigh situation, the A’s prepare for what’ll be their second time squaring up against the Chicago White Sox in 2026. The first meetup between the two squads kicked off this year’s rendition of Spring Training – – and let’s just say the outcome […]
A little bit of housekeeping this afternoon. Nothing surprising here. With only 13 days left of Spring Training, some bigger changes are surely coming. Chicago’s offense hopes to stay hot in Tuesday’s game against the Athletics after the White Sox dropped 11 runs on the Colorado Rockies in just one inning on Monday afternoon for […]
Good morning! Yes, the A’s are playing the Chicago White Sox today and that is totally super important…but I (like many people I know) have my sights set on the USA vs. Team Italy WBC game scheduled for 6pm PDT. Being an Italian-American, tonights matchup is truly one that requires my full attention. Both teams […]
The Athletics faced off against the Cincinnati Reds this afternoon at Goodyear Ballpark in Goodyear, Arizona. The A’s came into this game fresh off a split squad sweep of the Angels and Dodgers yesterday. Jack Perkins took the mound to get the A’s started today. So far this spring he’s 1-2 in two starts with […]

Jack Perkins will take the mound to get the A’s started today. So far this spring he’s 1-2 in two starts with […]
If it feels to you as if the Cincinnati Reds have hit a bit of a lull this spring, you aren’t alone. The starting pitching – the bedrock on which this franchise is built – has seen some hiccups of late, chief among them the elbow issue that Hunter Greene is dealing with and the […]
Following a rough day yesterday, the Athletics flipped the script today, winning both games of the spring training split-squad double-header to end the weekend on a positive note. The A’s in Arizona came back from a seven-run deficit to defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-7, while the other half of the team beat the Los […]
Justin Wrobleski continued his impressive spring with three scoreless innings on Sunday in the Dodgers’ 11-7 loss to the Athletics in Mesa Wrobleski struck out three, with two finished off by his slider and another by his four-seam fastball. The left-hander is in the mix for an early-season spot in the starting rotation, but there’s […]

Happy Sunday A’s fans! For the second straight day, the Athletics will play a split-squad double header. Yesterday, the A’s dropped both games as the squad that remained in Arizona lost to the Chicago Cubs 4-3.

One day, two losses. The A’s split the team up and dropped both sides of Saturday’s double header, first falling to the Cubs in Arizona 4-3 and then seeing the other half lose to the Angels 3-0 in front of their future Las Vegas fans. Not a great day for scores but still exhibition! More […]
After five straight spring training losses, including one in the Team USA exhibition, the Colorado Rockies got back in the win column against the Athletics, riding an 11-run explosion from the offense. Front and center in those fireworks was spring standout T.J. Rumfield, who notched three runs including a solo HR (his fourth of camp). […]
MESA, Arizona — The Cubs defeated the Athletics 4-3 on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon at Sloan Park, largely on the strength of home runs by Pedro Ramirez and Ian Happ. Those were good! Not so good was yet another home run allowed by Shōta Imanaga hit by A’s catcher Brian Serven. That homer accounted for […]
After a pair of night games, the Dodgers are back under the sun on Sunday, playing the A’s at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa. Sunday is also the first day of daylight savings time, which aligns the clocks in Arizona and Los Angeles. In other words, Sunday’s 1:05 p.m. game in Mesa will also be at […]
