Plus they got a good performance from Luis Severino and a few other unlikely hitters. Meanwhile, old friend Bob Melvin is back on the A's payroll.

ONE LAST TIME: Booney Signs Off From Locked On A’s

2026/02/13

Tomorrow at noon isn’t just another episode — it’s the final chapter of a voice that refused to play nice, refused to follow the herd, and refused to let the A’s story get twisted into something it never was. This episode looks back at the journey: the rebuild debates, the financial truth bombs, the prospect hype trains, the stadium wars, and the endless fight to separate facts from noise. Expect reflection, raw honesty, and the kind of straight talk that built a community that cared more about

THE FINAL 2 CHAIRS: Who Sits Down?

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

2026/02/12

The A’s finally checked off the biggest box on the offseason grocery list: veteran starting pitching. Aaron Civale slides into a rotation that already had Luis Severino and Jeffrey Springs, giving this team three proven big-league starters — something they flat-out didn’t have last year. And that matters, because starting pitching is like having reliable tires on a race car. If they blow out, the whole thing crashes. Civale brings experience (100+ career starts) and a track record of being a

THE MYTH FACTORY: Why Modern Sports Was Never Built...

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

2026/02/11

The myth has always been simple: teams leave because they stop caring about fans. The reality is way more uncomfortable. This episode breaks down why modern sports franchises chase control — control of the building, control of the land, and control of the revenue machine that lives inside premium seating, naming rights, and year-round events. Using the Warriors arena shift and the A’s stadium journey as case studies, we explain why public stadium structures, legacy debt, and multi-agency approvals

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

2026/02/10

The A’s added veteran right-hander Aaron Civale on a one-year deal worth about $6 million, with incentives that can push it higher — a classic “prove it and cash in” type contract. Civale, now 30, is coming off a 2025 season where he bounced between multiple teams and finished with a 4.85 ERA across 102 innings, showing flashes of reliability even in a chaotic year. Over his career, he’s built a reputation as a steady innings guy who doesn’t overpower hitters but instead survives on command, pitch

BOYS OF SUMMER: Baseball Is Back!

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

2026/02/10

Spring training isn’t just warm-up baseball — it’s where seasons quietly get decided before most fans are even paying attention. This episode is built around that idea. The crew breaks down why the start of camp matters, even when the standings don’t, and why this particular spring feels different. There’s real optimism around this roster, but it’s the little battles that could shape the entire year — the fifth starter race, the third base situation, and a bullpen that could be electric or chaotic

The A’s didn’t chase headlines — they chased solutions. This episode breaks down why the Scott Barlow signing matters way more than casual fans think, with Jeff Carr from Locked On Reds joining to give real insight from someone who watched Barlow pitch in pressure situations all season. The conversation gets into the good and the uncomfortable truth: swing-and-miss stuff, real late-inning experience, and the one factor that could decide everything — command. The big picture is simple: young bullpens

Tomorrow’s future doesn’t start under the bright lights — it starts in Low-A Stockton, and this episode tells you exactly why. Booney sits down with Stockton Ports broadcaster Tim Fitzgerald to pull the curtain back on the A’s pipeline: who’s real, who’s close, and who might be the sneaky name that hits you out of nowhere. They dig into Dylan Fien as a switch-hitting catcher with real tools (but a lot still to prove), break down why Cole Miller’s “pitchability” is the kind of weapon that plays at

Jacob Wilson just signed his extension — and instead of draining the budget, it exposed how much financial room the A’s still have to build something real. Tonight’s show breaks down the contract in plain English, why it’s actually team-friendly, and how it fits into the long-term vision of locking in a young core before they get expensive. This isn’t about one player — it’s about what this deal unlocks. In the second half, we run the numbers and show exactly how much money is still available this

2026/02/04

For decades, the A’s have been treated like baseball’s favorite punchline — not because of what’s actually happening, but because of the story that keeps getting told about them. In this episode, we rip apart the half-truths, fear-based narratives, and recycled talking points that have followed this franchise since the first post-Haas selloff. From stadium “can’t fit” myths to funding scare tactics to selective outrage, we expose how a few loud voices turned confusion into certainty — and clicks

Ten Minutes of Reality strips away the noise and forces an honest look at the A’s story without spin, slogans, or sides. This episode is about how modern sports discourse has turned into loyalty tests instead of conversations, and why simply questioning the narrative now gets you labeled. Booney challenges that mindset, explaining why thinking for yourself is not betrayal — it’s responsibility.The episode then reframes the A’s spending debate through a real-world lens: risk, return, and future

2026/02/03

The A’s made their move, and now the real debate begins. In this episode of Locked On A’s, we break down the Jacob Wilson extension and ask the uncomfortable question nobody else is asking: did this deal protect the franchise more than the player? We look at the timing, the financial structure, and the long-term implications — and why “security” for a young star can sometimes come at a massive hidden cost. It’s a contract that feels good today, but could sting tomorrow, and we’re laying out exactly

For years, fans were told the same story: the A’s were cheap, unwilling, and incapable of paying their own players. Tonight’s episode rips that myth apart with real numbers, real contracts, and real business logic. This isn’t about emotions or loyalty — it’s about stadium economics, revenue structure, and why the Coliseum made long-term extensions financially unsafe even when money technically existed. From $24 average tickets to a membership model built on discounts, the old venue capped revenue

EXTENDED: A's Extend Jacob Wilson to 7 Years/$70 Million

2026/01/30

The A’s just locked in one of the smartest bets in baseball, agreeing to a seven-year, $70 million extension with shortstop Jacob Wilson, plus a club option for an eighth season. This isn’t nostalgia spending or panic money — this is the A’s identifying a franchise piece and acting like it. Wilson went from the sixth overall pick in 2023 to an All-Star by 2025, finishing second in AL Rookie of the Year voting behind teammate Nick Kurtz. That’s not coincidence. That’s a core forming in real

They break down their project Oyster Analytics—a model built to translate messy minor league data into plain English: what are the odds a prospect becomes a contributor, a regular, or a star?

2026/01/29

Spring Training is not a charity event. It’s a pressure cooker where every single roster spot is earned, not gifted — and not one of these 31 non-roster invitees is guaranteed anything. No safety nets. No promises. Just cages, bullpens, early mornings, and front-office stopwatches. Most of these guys will be gone before fans even learn their numbers. But one — maybe two — could force the A’s hand and turn a temporary locker into a permanent address. This episode is about survival, not sentiment. Who

2026/01/28

MLB power rankings dropped, and the A’s landed at No. 18—right in that uncomfortable middle ground where lazy takes go to hide. Today’s show starts by breaking down why the A’s are slotted there, what the rankings get right, and where they completely miss the plot. This isn’t about disrespect for the sake of being mad online; it’s about context. Young cores don’t climb rankings overnight, but the foundation here is real, and being 18th says more about perception than trajectory. From there, the
