With a whopping 112 losses in 2023 and a similar number a near certainty in ’24, it’s a bad time to be associated with the Oakland A’s.
It’s been the same song and dance for over 20 years. Moneyball the roster to death, maybe enjoy a few trips to the playoffs, reset when everyone gets too expensive. The only difference is that this time, the A’s are packing up and moving to Las Vegas soon. A move that nobody really wants, not even the locals, yet the team presses forward.
An old, decrepit, dingy stadium, and a city more than motivated to keep the team in town with a new one.
