Nick Kurtz is well on his way to being the best offensive first baseman in baseball si.com/mlb/athletics/…
2nd-rder Devin Taylor signs w/@Athletics for $2.5 million (slot 48 value = $2,031,500). @IndianaBase OF, one of best college bats in @MLBDraft, potential plus hitter with power to match, school-record career 54 homers.
There are a few paths the A’s can take at the deadline. Here is what each path could mean. si.com/mlb/athletics/…
Robs a homer last night, hits a homer tonight. Law in center is going well.
Here's a little more on Clarke and Muncy and who will replace them on the A's roster si.com/mlb/athletics/…
The A's have placed Denzel Clarke, Max Muncy on 10-day IL and recalled outfielders Colby Thomas and Carlos Cortes.
Denzel Clarke has played 47 games this season and ranked 8th in all of baseball in Outs Above Average. Ceddanne Rafaela (BOS) is just ahead of him at CF in the AL. *IF* Clarke didn't play another game this season and was atop the leaderboard, should he be voted as the GG in CF?
There were zero reporters covering the A's - a major league team - in Cleveland this weekend. Even given their in-transit status, that's still pretty wild.
A's two biggest offseason additions are reportedly on the trade block, plus some context for just how available Mason Miller is si.com/mlb/athletics/…
While Mason Miller remains unlikely to move, recent reports say that he could be dealt if the A's receive a compelling enough offer. Here is what a trade with the Philadelphia Phillies could look like si.com/mlb/athletics/…
Luis Severino collects his third win of the season coming out of the break. Certainly not a bad way to enter the final 10 or so starts to the season.
Nick Kurtz is averaging a home run per 13.5 plate appearances. Over the course of 600 plate appearances, that’s 44 bombs. He was selected by the A’s last year. Imagine how good he’ll be when he’s faced these guys more often.
