Oakland A's veteran Tony Kemp departs for new team, thanks fans with heartfelt letter

Wed, 2024-02-28 13:21

Tony Kemp, one of the longest-tenured Oakland A's, has officially signed with a new team. Kemp joined the Cincinnati Reds on a minor league contract this week. The 32-year-old was granted free agency for the first time this offseason after playing four of his eight big league seasons with the A's. The speedster hit .240 with a .675 OPS while playing mostly second base and left field over his four years in Oakland. “A piece of my heart will always be with you in the bay,” he wrote.

Foul Play

Wed, 2024-02-28 06:00

The mayor of Las Vegas, Carolyn Goodman, had this to say about the Oakland Athletics relocating to her city: “I personally think they've got to figure out a way to stay in Oakland.” Ms. Goodman made this suggestion just a few days before pitchers and catchers were supposed to report to spring training. It seems that Mayor Goodman is having difficulty getting the ownership of the team to settle down on the site the city had originally proposed. Instead, the formerly Oakland A's have selected a much smaller parcel that would put them closer to The Strip.

Trevor May on Oakland A's owner John Fisher: 'He really hasn't done anything successfully'

Wed, 2024-02-28 05:45

Trevor May is finally free from the Oakland A's and owner John Fisher. “Like a bird, finally let loose to fly,” May said Saturday at Fans Fest, a celebration of Oakland sports fans at Jack London Square. Last season, May was the highest-paid player on the A's and one of the team's veteran leaders who was trying to keep things positive in a difficult year for him personally, having stepped away for about a month to deal with mental health issues, and for the franchise, which announced its plans to leave for Las Vegas. Like on that Tuesday night in June, when more than 27,000 A's fans showed up for a reverse boycott to protest Fisher's decision to move the team to Vegas.

Muller, a key piece to the prospect package the A's received from Atlanta in the Sean Murphy trade before last season, is out of options, so he'll have to break camp with the team or possibly be lost to a waiver claim. Sunday, Muller made his Cactus League debut and allowed one run with three strikeouts in two innings in Oakland's 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Glendale, Arizona.
