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.

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
