Yeah, Farhan needed to go. And I say this as a staunch Farhan stan pretty much his whole tenure. Just the whole "vibe" around this team has been off and it's been such a stark contrast to our glory year runs from 2010-2014.
Hopefully Posey got some good on the job training this past year. He did get Chapman to ink the deal, which is a +.

Farhan had plenty of time to get it turned around. I hope that Posey being an ex-player, and a smart one at that, will be able to make smart moves and deliver in ways that Farhan failed.
Needs:
a good platoon catcher to go with Bailey (Joey Bart would have, should have been the guy)
a new 1b with some power. Late night is not that.
upgrade at 2b. What the heck happened with Thairo?
Is Fitzgerald your SS or do you push him to a super-utility role
Jung Hoo Lee back healthy is a must to go with Heliot. Need upgrade over Yaz and Conforto
Can Buster talk Snell into resigning here?
Theres work to be done

It's cool to see a Japanese HS player willing to come over to MLB and develop in the minor league system instead of going to usual posting route. Ohtani signing a $700 million contract last year may have had something to do with this. He's got a long road to the majors ahead of him but the A's currently have a hole at 3B and need more left-handed hitters (and you can never have enough good pitchers) so there's certainly going to be a pathway for him if he excels. I'll be rooting for him.
Looking like a Dodgers vs Yankees WS
Honestly, not mad
I think it’s good for the game.
Not because of the market sizes
but because it’s so rare in baseball to have it come down to the two of the best teams in each league during the regular season that feature the best stars in the game. It seems every year it comes down to one team you expected to be there and then a team like Detroit was this year.
Hopefully it gets a big audience and quality play
