Medina to miss start of A's 2024 season with Grade 2 MCL sprain

Wed, 2024-03-06 09:45

The Athletics are eager and ready for a fresh start in 2024 following two consecutive 100-plus loss seasons, but at least temporarily, those plans won't include starting pitcher Luis Medina. Medina sustained a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee, A's manager Mark Kotsay said Wednesday, and will begin the 2024 MLB season on the injured list. The 23-year-old righty exited his most recent spring training start in Oakland's loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Monday after pitching just 1 1/3 innings.

Unfortunately for Warriors, Raiders and Athletics fans, all three teams either have relocated or are trying to relocate. The one spearheading the A's move is team owner John Fisher, who spoke exclusively to the San Francisco Chronicle's Susan Slusser on Tuesday about the newly released renderings for the team's proposed ballpark at the Tropicana site in Las Vegas.

4 Athletics bold predictions as MLB spring training gets underway

Tue, 2024-03-05 14:02

Whether it comes with chagrin, delusional optimism, or both, the Oakland Athletics may be playing their last season in the city of Oakland before moving… somewhere before maybe finally finding their home in Las Vegas. At this point, Hohokam Stadium could be where the A's will be playing next season for all anyone knows. It might be in better shape than the Oakland Coliseum, and maybe at least they'll still be welcomed there. Although playing in the Arizona heat from May to August could be a little toasty.

Tue, 2024-03-05 12:51

Nearly a year after the Oakland A's announced their plans to move the team to Las Vegas, the A's finally unveiled renderings for their ballpark in Las Vegas. The 33,000-seat park will be enclosed by a roof but will feature “the world's largest cable-net glass window” to allow for natural light and views of the strip. The architects, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) and HNTB, are calling the stadium a “spherical armadillo” because of the roof's overlapping layers.

Oakland A's bright spot Gelof brings hot bat to Cactus League

Tue, 2024-03-05 05:35

After being named MLB's rookie of the month last August in his first full month as a major leaguer, Zach Gelof is continuing his hot streak in spring training, driving the ball to all parts of the field. As the A's have had a ton of moving parts throughout the last few seasons, Gelof looks to be the second baseman of the future for the team, a role manager Mark Kotsay is cognizant of as Gelof enters his first full season. “I think Zach has just picked up where he left off,” Kotsay said.

JP Sears sharp in A's win, appears on track to start Opening Night

Sun, 2024-03-03 17:27

A's left-hander JP Sears was dazzling enough Sunday against the Texas Rangers that it appears the former Yankees prospect may be in line to be Oakland's starting pitcher on Opening Night. Sears was dominant during his three-inning start, striking out seven batters and allowing just one hit while touching 95 mph on the Hohokam Stadium gun in the A's 5-2 spring training victory. In two spring starts, he's permitted just one hit while striking out nine with no walks in five innings. Sears was Oakland's most consistent starter in a disastrous 2023 season while he went 5-14 with a 4.54 ERA in a team-high 32 starts.
