[MLB] The “Sacramento” A’s thread 2025
- Thread starter Tetsujin
- Start date
I think the lack of a city name on the official A's account answers that...
Soderstrom being from Turlock might have factored into his decision to sign a long-term extension to stay close to home for the next two years at least. It makes sense to lock in the guaranteed money and he's got the performance incentives in case he outperforms the base contract. I don't know if this includes a no-trade clause or not -- I'm guessing probably not since this is the A's. We'll see if he's still on the team if and when they finally complete the Vegas move.
It's bittersweet seeing this franchise finally commit to keeping their own prospects only after they leave Oakland but we've known that about Fisher for a long time now. All he's cared about since he bought the team is getting them out of Oakland so it makes sense that now he's willing to spend a little more money. Hopefully Gelof and Butler have bounce back seasons after struggling last year (to put it lightly, in Gelof's case). Once this team figures out the pitching rotation they should be back in playoff contention. I'd expect them to take another starter in the first round of the 2026 draft. Cameron Flukey, Liam Peterson, and Jackson Flora fit their draft range. Gio Rojas and Carson Boleman too if they're willing to go with a HS pitcher though Trevor Cahill is the only highly drafted HS pitcher that I can think of that the A's successfully developed this century so that would be a bit of a surprise.
