Happy Monday, Athletics Nation! Hope you are safely enjoying your holiday.
Last week saw a fair bit of discussion on how the back end of the A’s starting rotation is shaping up, and who might make the number five spot with a strong showing in Spring Training.
Higher up the ladder, two of the A’s offseason pitching acquisitions seem to have a lock on Opening Day spots, with Luis Severino likely to throw the A’s first pitch of the regular season, and Jeffrey Springs projected by Martin Gallegos at MLB.com to be the number four starter. I’m not so sure Springs won’t begin the season at number two or three, but most importantly, we can probably all agree that Springs is a rotation shoo-in as long…
