Motivated by their temporary move to Sacramento and the fear of an MLBPA grievance that could have cut into their revenue sharing money, the A’s were busy. The result: three of the four largest contracts in franchise history, and a realistic (if long shot) hope of competing for a playoff spot.

Joe Boyle, Ross Stripling,  Scott Alexander, Kyle McCann (released), Alex Wood (still unsigned), Austin Adams (outrighted), Will Klein, Trevor Gott, Dany Jiménez (non-tendered), Tristan Gray (lost on waivers), Armando Alvarez (outrighted), Ryan Noda (lost on waivers), Kyle Muller (outrighted), Tyler Nevin (outrighted), Royber Salinas (lost on waivers)

The A’s played around .500 ball in the second half. While their rotation remained largely uninspiring, things were starting to fall into place in the lineup. As the team officially closed the book on their 57 years in Oakland, fans who are sticking with the club in Sacramento and Las Vegas could start to dream on the team pulling out of a three-year rebuild.

There were a few clear areas to address. They needed multiple starting pitchers and a third baseman, at least. The A’s rarely plug holes in free agency. They’d spent less than $55MM over the previous three offseasons combined. Owner John Fisher has suggested he’d raise payroll with expected revenue increases once they get to Las Vegas in 2028. It’s hard to argue the A’s deserved the benefit of the doubt after years of bottom-tier spending. There were no promises about the next three seasons anyhow, as those will be played at a Triple-A park in Sacramento.

At the beginning of the offseason, general manager David Forst firmly stated that designated hitter Brent Rooker wouldn’t be available. It was fair to assume the same of star closer Mason Miller. They were no longer in the “tear it down” section of the rebuild, but it wasn’t clear how aggressively they’d supplement their developing lineup.
