Well it looked like this season’s magical run was made for the storybooks at the end of June. Unfortunately for the White Sox, July has had a mind of its own. After entering the month with a 45-39 record, the South Siders have won just two of their last eight games and are now tied […]

Infielder Joey Meneses is being recalled to take his spot on the active roster: […]
Prior to the Angels‘ 5-2 win against the Athletics, the team introduced interim general manager John Mozeliak. The decision to fire Perry Minasian became public on June 26. Club president Molly Jolly began the process of bringing Mozeliak in weeks before the news went public. Owner Arte Moreno was not involved.

Happy Friday A’s fans! The first half officially wraps up on Sunday for the mid-season All-Star Break. The Athletics were one of three teams to have three starters selected for Tuesday’s All-Star Game, along with the Atlanta Braves (2) and the Los Angeles Dodgers (3). Pretty awesome considering how things have gone for the Green […]
The Detroit Tigers appear to be charging headfirst into the All-Star break after securing a 4-1 win over the Athletics on Thursday night to secure the sweep and make it six victories in seven tries so far in July. Jake Rogers hit another homer and Eduardo Valencia cranked one as well in his first MLB […]
The white-hot Detroit Tigers went for the home sweep of a three-game weeknight series against the Homeless A’s on Thursday evening, after winning the first two games in fun fashion. They made it eight wins in the past nine games with a 4-1 win to complete the sweep. It was Framber Valdez’s turn in the […]
The squad just can’t seem to get their feet right. The losing ways continued on Thursday afternoon in Detroit as the Athletics dropped their sixth straight game, falling to Detroit 4-1 and dropping their record to 41-52, which is the third-worst record in the American League.

Okay, so the first two games haven’t gone our way and the club is now riding a 5-game losing streak. That just means it’s time for a win to get us back in the win column and rolling again. It’s time. The A’s will be going with an opener/bulk pitcher strategy today, giving left-handed reliever […]
We asked. Fans answered. In a nationwide poll of SB Nation readers, Houston Astros DH Yordan Alvarez was voted the player who should be the AL MVP, beating out Kansas City Royals SS Bobby Witt Jr., Athletics 1B Nick Kurtz and Tampa Bay Rays 3B Junior Caminero. SB Nation Reacts polls are powered by Fanduel. […]
As the A’s June-Swoon evolves into a deeper July collapse (the Athletics won on July 1 and have not tasted victory since then) it would make sense to think about salvaging the season and looking forward to 2027. Three major MLB events will take place in the next thirty days, two of which will have […]
The Detroit Tigers are on a roll as the All-Star break approaches, notching their fifth win of July and seventh in the last eight games after securing a 6-2 win over the Athletics on Tuesday night.

The Athletics optioned Opening Day third baseman Max Muncy to Triple-A Las Vegas this afternoon. That was the corresponding move to activate Tyler Soderstrom from his minimal stint on the injured list. That follows recent returns from Jacob Wilson and Zack Gelof, putting the A’s lineup pretty close to full strength — aside from the season-ending absence for Brent Rooker. […]
Perhaps they should rename Comerica Park to Rogers Center after Jake Rogers’ pinch performance helped the Tigers beat the A’s 6-1. The Tigers have been pretty good lately, 7-3 for their last 10 games, and as we know, performing well against teams with much better records than theirs. So naturally, against another fourth-place team, they’re […]

The squad continues to get healthier. Just hours before their second game against the Detroit Tigers the Athletics announced the activation of left fielder Tyler Soderstrom from the 10-day IL, while optioning infielder Max Muncy to make room on the active roster: It turns out to be a best-case scenario for Soderstrom and the club […]
Until it is proven impossible you watch the 162 game season hoping your team can reach the post-season. And all hope is not lost in 2026 in that according to Fangraphs the A’s still project to have about a 10% chance. Presumably part of Fangraphs’ formula is that a team capable of a 20-game winning […]
