The Athletics’ bats erupt in a 12-4 thrashing of the Cincinnati Reds—could this signal a turning point for their playoff ambitions? JT Ginn impresses on the mound after being acquired from the Mets, while Shea Langeliers and other sluggers deliver home runs against Cincinnati’s All-Star Andrew Abbott. Is a wild card chase on the horizon as the rotation gains momentum and the offense shows explosive potential?

Sully explores key roster moves, including the impact of Leo DeVries—one of MLB’s top prospects—and discusses whether the A’s should sign him to a long-term contract. The conversation covers recent trades, Mason Miller’s departure, and the team’s approach as it transitions from Oakland to West Sacramento to Las Vegas. Insights on Las Vegas fandom, stadium developments, and how the A’s could build a winning core in their new home round out the show. Will this emerging squad defy expectations as the season gets underway?

The 2025 MLB Draft is almost here, and the A’s are on the clock with the 11th overall pick. In this jam-packed episode of Locked On A’s, Booney breaks down the top prospects expected to be available when the A’s makes its selection. From dynamic college bats like Arizona outfielder Brendan Summerhill to power arms like Oklahoma’s Kyson Witherspoon, we cover the scouting reports, comps to current MLB players, and why each guy could be a franchise-altering pick. There’s also a deep dive into team needs – spoiler alert: it’s pitching, pitching, and more pitching – and how that could shape the front office’s draft board.

But it doesn’t stop with Round 1. We dig into potential second-round steals at pick #48, sleepers who could pop in the fourth and fifth rounds, and the impact of not having a third-rounder this year. Whether it’s high-upside prep bats like Xavier Neyens or college standouts like Max Belyeu and Luke Stevenson, Booney lays out a roadmap of what the A’s could (and should) do over all 20 rounds. You’ll get the comps, the analytics, and the front-office mindset behind every possible move.

Plus, we set the stage for tonight’s 9:00 PM LIVE show, where you – the fans – get to jump in and play GM. Bring your bold predictions, favorite prospects, and draft hot takes to the table. This isn’t just a preview – it’s a war room simulation with the most diehard A’s fans on the planet. Subscribe now, smash that like button, and let’s draft the future of the green and gold together.
