The Oakland A’s are officially going back to the postseason in 2020!
We don’t yet know exactly what method they’ll use to qualify, nor what seed they’ll be, nor who they’ll play in the first round. But one way or other, they will be involved in the tournament.
After the A’s win on Friday, coupled with a Seattle Mariners loss, it’s now mathematically impossible for eight other AL teams to pass Oakland and leave them out in the cold. The worst they can do is the second Wild Card and the No. 8 seed.
Of course, they have their sights set much higher than that.
