The Oakland Athletics sit first in the AL West with a 64-98 record. Christine and Jason break down how this happened and what it means for the future.

New GM Cam Castro and President of Baseball Operations Taylor Smith are reshaping the organization. We discuss their analytical backgrounds, the move to Las Vegas in 2028, and key roster decisions involving Luis Severino, Zack Gelof, and Darell Hernaiz.

Expectations for 2027 include an 85-win season. We analyze bullpen cuts, outfield battles, and why the A's are betting on youth over veteran rentals.
