2025/11/10

The Athletics face a pivotal offseason decision: protect top catching prospect Daniel Susac on the 40-man roster or risk losing him in the MLB Rule 5 Draft. With Susac’s first-round pedigree and the scarcity of major league-ready catchers, rival front offices could be circling, eager for a low-cost, high-upside addition. Could failing to act turn the Rule 5 Draft into a Black Friday frenzy for opposing teams? Booney breaks down the A’s 40-man roster crunch, weighing prospects like Braden Nett and

In this raw, emotional roundtable, Booney welcomes Salty Tom and Aaron Cameron for a brutally honest discussion about the A’s attendance crisis and what really drove fans away. The crew revisits the early 2000s, when the A’s were a 100-win juggernaut but couldn’t sell out a Friday night. Aaron lays out how the constant roster churn—Giambi, Damon, Tejada gone one by one—eroded fan loyalty. Salty points out how the Giants built a palace across the Bay and filled it with superstars, while the A’s

We’ll break down the departures of catcher Willie MacIver and reliever Michel Otañez via waiver claims, explore the outrightings of Anthony Maldonado, Ben Bowden and Jared Shuster, and ask the hard question: is this savvy roster management or just another piece of the A’s austerity puzzle?

The A’s future is looking brighter than ever, and today, Booney brings in a familiar voice who’s seen it all firsthand—Jesse Goldberg-Strassler, the voice of the High-A Lansing Lugnuts. Together, they take listeners deep into the A’s farm system to spotlight who’s on the rise, who’s ready to make the leap, and who’s quietly building toward a breakout 2026 season.

The A’s are turning the desert into an economic engine, and the secret is the “waterfall” tax system—a financial model that lets the stadium pay for itself. In this episode, Booney dives deep into how Las Vegas built the most efficient public-private ballpark deal Major League Baseball has ever seen, using a special tax district that funnels every dollar generated inside the stadium—beer sales, tickets, jerseys, you name it—back into repaying the bonds, maintenance, and even affordable housing.

2025/11/03

The A’s have a hole at third base the size of the Strip, and Booney says the solution isn’t in free agency—it’s in Cincinnati. In this episode, Booney makes the full-throated case for why the A’s should steal Ke’Bryan Hayes from the Reds before anyone notices his true value. Hayes, a Gold Glove defender with elite metrics across the board, would instantly transform the A’s infield and give the team its best glove at the hot corner since Matt Chapman. Booney breaks down why Hayes’s contract is a

WHEN WINNING WASN'T ENOUGH: The A's 2000-2006 Mystery

Locked On A"s - Daily Podcast On The Athletics ·

2025/10/30

From 2000 to 2006, the A’s were everything baseball pretends to celebrate—smart, scrappy, efficient, and flat-out dominant. They racked up 94 wins per year, second only to the Yankees, with a payroll that looked like a rounding error in the Bronx. This was a team that redefined player development, turned castoffs into cornerstones, and launched an entire movement called Moneyball. But while the rest of the league took notice, the local crowd stayed home. The A’s built a machine; Oakland barely

In this episode of Locked On A’s, Booney is done playing referee. He’s calling it like it is—and calling out the hypocrisy. The A’s didn’t move because of bad luck or a broken system; they moved because their city and fanbase stopped holding up their end of the bargain. From 95-win seasons that drew minor-league crowds to years of political gridlock that buried Howard Terminal before it ever began, Oakland simply stopped showing up. Meanwhile, Vegas is already doing what Oakland couldn’t: building
