The Oakland A’s only have one win through their first six games of the 2022 Cactus League, but there’s a lot more to focus on in spring training than the meaningless standings.
The A’s lost again Thursday, this time 5-3 to the Texas Rangers, but the important thing is that a handful of key players put up exciting performances.
On the pitching side, Sean Manaea is still here amid weeks of trade rumors, and he made his second start of the spring. He looked great, breezing into the 5th inning on just 57 pitches.
