The Oakland A’s are in a good place right now, atop the AL West division and coming off a couple decisive wins against an upstart rival. But there are also lots of former A’s out there, and we still love them too. Let’s see how they’re doing!
We begin with news that is either good from the perspective of rooting for our old favorites, or bad from the perspective of them not being on the A’s anymore. MLB does a set of monthly awards, and some familiar names popped up at the end of May.
- AL Player of the Month: Marcus Semien, TOR
- AL Pitcher of the Month: Rich Hill, TBR
- AL Reliever of the Month: Liam Hendriks, CHW
Semien has bounced back from his 2020 slump and is hitting like his MVP-caliber 2019, plus a few extra point of batting average now that he’s out of the Coliseum.
