GAME CHANGER: A’s Secure the Future

In this episode of Locked On A's, host Booney dives into the Oakland Athletics' decision to extend manager Mark Kotsay for three more years, solidifying his role through 2028 with a club option for 2029. Booney explains how this extension is more than just a contract renewal—it's a statement of confidence in Kotsay's leadership as the A's navigate a period of transition. With the team preparing for a temporary move to West Sacramento and an eventual shift to Las Vegas, Kotsay's steady hand will be crucial in guiding a young roster. The episode explores Kotsay’s impact on player development, his leadership style, and the reasons why he’s the right fit for the A’s during this pivotal time.

Booney also takes a look at the A’s offseason moves, including the signing of veteran infielder Luis Urías to a one-year deal. With the A’s in the midst of rebuilding, Urías brings versatility and depth to the infield, giving manager Kotsay more flexibility for the 2024 season. Booney breaks down what Urías’ signing means for the team, his potential role, and the low-risk, high-reward nature of the move. This episode highlights how the A's are setting the stage for a competitive 2025 campaign while staying committed to long-term growth under Kotsay’s leadership.
