This time last year, we asked how you felt about the job John Lynch was doing as the general manager of the San Francisco 49ers.

Jauan Jennings won’t go down as a legend for a storied franchise like the San Francisco 49ers, but he had some incredible moments during his tenure with the Niners. “Third and Jauan” came through when the team needed him most. We’re going to look back on some of Jennings most memorable plays as a pro […]
The first inning of Andrew Painter’s start against the Athletics was a painful one. The first four batters all reached base safely and all scored thanks to home runs by Shea Langeliers and Brent Rooker. The pitch to Langeliers was a bad one, one that got appropriately punished, but the home run to Rooker wasn’t […]
Happy Friday A’s fans! The team came away with a series-salvaging win yesterday in the finale against the Phillies.

In 2025, the Orioles and the Athletics were largely the same team. They finished within one game of each other (75 vs. 76 wins).

Deebo Samuel is one of the top NFL free agents still available for the taking, with it now being May. With Samuel having a very strong resume and still being a solid player at this stage in his career, it should not take him much longer to land his next contract. Teams looking for help at the wide receiver position should be open to taking a chance on Samuel. Because of this, a new team is being connected to the seven-year veteran. In a recent article for Pro Football Focus , Bradley Loc...
