It’s official! Monday brought reports that the Oakland A’s are hiring Mark Kotsay to be their new manager, and Tuesday morning the team made their announcement. Kotsay signed a three-year contract to be the skipper for 2022-24, with a club option for 2025.
Kotsay becomes the 19th different manager in Oakland history, though one of those individuals took two turns on the job. In Athletics franchise history he’s the 31st different manager, and the 35th administration overall thanks to four repeats.
Here’s the Oakland list! Including the years of their tenures and their win percentages.
